Sensor Bypass
Your dealer may have set up your system with the
capability to bypass certain sensors (other than fire
or tamper sensors) when you arm the system.
When you bypass a sensor, the system will ignore
any alarms from that sensor. An example of when
this would be useful would be when you want to
leave a door or window open.
Manual Bypass Upon Arming
Available to Level 1 and Level 2 users only.
If your system has this option, it will sound an error
tone when you attempt to arm the system while a
sensor is violated. It will then display the descrip-
tion of the violated sensor. The screen will look
something like this, with BYPASS? flashing:
Press SELECT to bypass that sensor. The sensor
will be bypassed for this arming only.
If there are
more violated sensors, the system will repeat this
process.
NOTE: If you are arming with a Level 3 or Level 4
code, NOT READY appears in the display when
you attempt to arm with a violated sensor. You
must correct the alarm condition (for example,
close the door) before you can arm the system.
NOTE: With each sensor you bypass, you
decrease the amount of protection provided by
the system. For this reason, it is usually better
to select

to prevent arming and then remove
the violation (for example, close the window).
You can then arm the system at its full Level of
Protection.
AutoBypass
Restore
AutoBypass Restore enables your system to
reaccept a bypassed sensor if the violation is
corrected. If your installer included this option in
your system, a sensor will cause an alarm if the
violation is corrected and then violated again. For
example, if the door attached to a bypassed sensor
is closed and then opened again, it will generate
an intrusion alarm.
AutoBypass Upon Arming
Available to all users.
AutoBypass allows the system to bypass all
non-
priority violated sensors automatically, so you do
not have to acknowledge each bypass. The
Display Control Keypad will warn you that a sensor
is being bypassed by sounding a loud tone,
showing the description of each bypassed sensor,
and displaying the word BYPASSED.
If you arm the system at the Control Keypad, the
system will beep and flash lights according to your
dealers instructions.
NOTE:
AutoBypass Restore, if included in your
system, affects AutoBypass just as it does
manual bypass.
NOTE: AutoBypass is not available in UL installa-
tions.
Permanent Sensor Bypass
Available to Level 1 users only.
You may be able to program your system to
bypass a sensor permanently. This is useful if you
want to leave a door or window open for an ex-
tended period of time.
NOTE: Permanent Bypass is not available in UL
installations.
