Bypass Zones; Zone Monitor - Security Command XR20 User Manual

Bypass Zones

User Code Level: Master or Standard.
Function: Allows you to bypass a zone prior to arming the system.
Bypassing is usually done when a zone cannot be restored to normal
and you want to arm the system. Once bypassed, the system will
not respond to any activity on the zone.
A zone can be bypassed only while it is disarmed. Since Fire, Panic,
Emergency, and Supervisory zones are always armed, they can
never be bypassed.
The Bypass Zones function can also be used to restore a bypassed
zone back into the system.
When Bypass Zones is selected, a report of the bypassing can be sent
to your central station. This is optional and can be programmed for
you at any time.
Using the Bypass Zones Function
1. Access the User Menu.
2. Press the COMMAND key until BYPASS ZONES? displays.
3. Press any one of the Select keys.
ZONE: - RST BYPS.
4. To reset a zone, enter the zone number and press the Select
key under RST.
5. To Bypass a zone, enter the zone number and press the
Select key under BYPS.

Zone Monitor

User Code Level: Master and Standard.
Function: Allows the system to monitor selected disarmed zones
(doors, windows, or motion detectors). When a monitored zone
is tripped, the keypad sounds a tone and displays the zone name.
This is an ideal feature for monitoring door zones to tell when
someone comes in or goes out.
You can place any combination of disarmed zones in Zone Monitor
but only the most recent zone tripped is displayed. The displayed
zone name clears automatically after a short time or when the zone
is armed.
Zone Monitor does not function while the system is armed but
a zone placed into it will still be monitored when the system is
disarmed.
Using Zone Monitor as part of your weekly system test: After using
the System Test function, place all perimeter and interior zones in
Zone Monitor. Starting at the front door, go around and open and
then close each door and window. You should hear the keypad beep
each time. The keypad will also display the name of each zone as
The keypad displays
its device is opened.
Once all protected doors and windows have been tested, walk in
front of each motion detector. The keypad should beep to conÞ rm
their operation. If at any time during your weekly testing a device
does not cause the keypad to beep, call the service department for
assistance.
