Bypassing Protection Zones; Using The 6 Bypass Key - Honeywell ADEMCO VISTA-120 User Manual

Using the 6 BYPASS Key

This key is used when you want to arm your system with one or more zones
intentionally unprotected. Bypassed zones are unprotected and will not cause
an alarm when violated while your system is armed. All bypasses are
removed when an OFF sequence (security code plus OFF) is performed.
Bypasses are also removed if the arming procedure that follows the bypass
command is not successful.
Note: The system will not allow fire or emergency zones to be
bypassed.
To bypass zones, the system must be disarmed first.
1. Enter your security code and press
2. Enter zone number(s) for the zones to be bypassed (e.g., 001, 002, 003,
etc.).
Important! All single-digit numbers must be preceded by "00" (for
example, enter 001 for zone 1).

DISARMED BYPASS
Your installer may have set a limit on the number of zones that you are allowed to bypass in a
partition. If you attempt to exceed that limit, the system will not allow you to bypass those zones
that exceed the limit. Ask your installer if a limit has been set and, if so, what that limit is.

When finished, the keypad will display the
word BYPASS along with each bypassed zone
number. Wait for these zones to be displayed
before arming. Arming the system before
bypassed zones are displayed eliminates all
bypasses.
Arm the system as usual when the keypad
displays "ready" to arm message.
