Bypassing Protection Zones
Bypassing Individual Zones
Use the
BYPASS
key 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.
The system will not allow fire zones to be bypassed.
The system must be disarmed first.
To bypass a zone(s):
+
BYPASS
+
2-digit zone number(s)
Your security code for zone(s) to be bypassed
(e.g., 01, 02, 03, etc.)
Important! All single-digit numbers must be preceded by a zero (for example, enter 01
for zone 1).
The keypad will display the word “BYPASS” along with each bypassed zone number.
Wait for these zones to be displayed, to be sure that intended zones are bypassed.
Arm the system as usual when the keypad displays the READY LED on steady.
Quick Bypass
Your system may allow you to easily bypass all open (faulted) zones without having to
enter zone numbers individually. Ask your installer if this feature is active.
To bypass a zone(s):
+
BYPASS
+
WAIT
Your security code
In a few moments, all open zones will be displayed along with the word “BYPASS.” Wait
for these zones to be displayed before arming. Arming the system before zones are
displayed eliminates all bypasses.
Arm the system as usual when the keypad displays the READY LED on steady.
Displaying Bypassed Zones
The system allows you to determine what zones have been previously bypassed. Bypassed
zones can be displayed only when the system is disarmed, and when the “BYPASS”
message described above is displayed.

Your security code
In a few moments, all open zones will be sequentially displayed along with the word
