know the sensor number of the door or window you
wish to bypass. To bypass directly, the user code must
have been given the Direct Bypassing attribute. See
"Assigning the Direct Bypassing Attribute" for more
information.
‰ Indirectly — As you are arming, bypass sensors on
already-open doors and window. This method should
not be used in UL-listed installations.
œÌi
When a sensor is bypassed, you are allowing that
door or window to be unprotected.

Bypassing a Sensor Directly

Use this method if the system is armed and you would like
to open a window without disarming.
Refer to the Appendix A User Sheets to determine what
the sensor number is for the sensor you wish to bypass.
To bypass sensors directly:
1. Close all doors and windows.
2. Arm your system to the desired level.
3. At any touchpad, press
sensor number.
4. Touchpads display, "Bypassed Zones 01," or "SEN-
SOR 01 BYPASSED," for example.
If the touchpad displays "INVALID," or if the touch-
pad sounds one long beep, make sure that you entered
a valid access code and a valid sensor number. Gas,
heat, and smoke sensors cannot be bypassed.
5. Bypass other sensors, if necessary, by repeating
Step 3.
6. The bypassed door or window can now be opened.
To arm bypassed sensors:
‰ Arm the system again.
OR At any touchpad, press
sensor number.
Touchpads display, "Zones 01 OK," or "SENSOR 01
UNBYPASSED," for example.
If the touchpad displays "INVALID," or if the touch-
pad sounds one long beep, make sure that you entered
a valid access code and a valid sensor number.
œÌi
You cannot bypass sensors directly using a
keychain touchpad.

3. At any touchpad. press BYPASS. Touchpads with dis-
plays show, "Bypassed Zones 01," or "SENSOR 01
BYPASSED," for example.

the system is armed and open sensors have been suc-
cessfully bypassed.
To arm bypassed sensors:
‰ Arm the system again.
OR At any touchpad, press
sensor number.
Touchpads display, "Zones 01 OK," or "SENSOR 01
UNBYPASSED," for example.
If the touchpad displays "INVALID," or if the touch-
pad sounds one long beep, make sure that you entered
a valid sensor number.

Checking the Status of Your
System
Checking the system status means finding out about the
current condition of your system. This includes finding out
if any sensors are open or currently bypassed, whether or
not the AC power and backup battery are okay, the nature
of the most recent alarm, and more, depending on the fea-
tures in use and the equipment in your system.
