Sensor Bypassing

Before the system can be armed, all protected doors and windows must be closed or bypassed. The
system uses "bypasses" to resolve open sensors on protected doors or windows before arming the
system. When a sensor is bypassed, the system ignores that the door or window is open. There are
two types of sensor bypasses available: forced and manual.
In some cases (such as when using the security system for protection when staying at home) it may
be desirable to leave some sensor-protected doors or windows open. Temporarily bypassing a sensor
for this use is called "force bypassing". Force bypasses are automatically removed when the
system is disarmed.
Sensor bypassing is also sometimes used when a sensor is requiring service. A sensor's magnet
might be missing, or an external switch contact connected to a sensor might be faulty, causing
the sensor to be detected as "open" by the Control Panel. In these conditions, you may need to
schedule a service call with your qualifi ed alarm service technician to repair or replace the troubled
sensor. If the security system needs to be armed before the sensor can be serviced, the sensor can
be "manually bypassed" so the rest of the system can be armed. Depending on programming,
manual bypasses can remain in place until they are manually removed.
☞ NOTE: Bypassed sensors offer no protection and cannot cause an alarm. Use bypass if
you want to arm your system with one or more sensors open and intentionally unprotected.

Force Bypassing Sensors

If any sensors are open when the ARM button is pressed, the Control Panel will display the bypass
sensor screen. When the system is disarmed, the force bypassed sensors will be returned to normal.
1. With one or more perimeter
sensors open, press ARM from
the Security or Menu Screen.
2. Press BYPASS ALL to force
bypass the open sensors (including
any open interior sensors).
3. Enter a User Code (unless "Quick
Bypass" has been set by the
installer) to activate the bypass and
continue to the Arming Screen.

Manual Bypassing or Un-bypassing Sensors

In case one or more perimeter or interior sensors need to be manually bypassed, or have their
manual bypass removed, use the following steps:
1. Press MENU, TOOLBOX, then
BYPASSED SENSORS.
2. Enter a User Code.
3. Press the individual name of the
sensor(s) to bypass or un-bypass
the sensor(s). The bypass symbol
will display for the manually
bypassed sensors. To show only
the bypassed sensors, press
SHOW BYPASSED ONLY.
4. Press BACK.
