Section 4: Using Advanced Functions
This section describes how to perform more specialized functions: bypassing zones, turning the
door chime on or off, viewing the trouble display and event buffer, and testing your system.
NOTE: Your system may have cross zoning enabled. For more information, ask
your installer.
Bypassing
Zones
Use the zone bypassing feature when you will need access to a protected area while the
system is armed, or when a zone is temporarily out of service, but you need to arm the sys-
tem. Bypassed zones will not be able to sound an alarm.
Bypassing zones reduces the level of security. If you are bypassing a zone because it is not
working, call a service technician immediately so that the problem can be resolved and your
system returned to proper working order. Make sure that no zones are unintentionally
bypassed when arming your system.
Zones cannot be bypassed once the system is armed. Bypassed zones are automatically can-
celled each time the system is disarmed and must be bypassed again, if required, before the
next arming.
NOTE: For security reasons, your installer has programmed the system to prevent
you from bypassing certain zones (e.g., smoke detectors).

The keypad will display “Zone Search < > “Zone Name?”. “B” will appear on the display

If a zone is open (e.g., door with door contact is open), the keypad will display “Zone
Search < > “Zone Name” O”. If you bypass the open zone, a “B” will replace the “O”.
4. To unbypass a zone, enter the two-digit number of the zone(s) to be bypassed (01-64).
You can also use the keys to find the zone, and then press to select the zone.
