Quick Arm
For extra convenience, the OmniPro II can be armed by simply pressing the DAY, NIGHT, or AWAY button twice, eliminating
the need to enter the code.
To quick arm the system in the Away mode, from the top-level display, press .
The quick arm feature only works if the alarm system is in the Off mode, and if no alarms are sounding. This feature is disabled
when the system is shipped. If desired, it can be enabled or disabled at any time - See Set Up Arming, Enable Quick Arm.
Bypassing Zones
8 = BYPASS
You can Bypass a zone that you do not want protected while the system is armed. Bypassing is also the only way that a tamper or
panic zone can be disarmed. For example, if there is a liquor closet or gun case on a tamper zone, then you must bypass that zone
to gain access to it.
Another reason to Bypass a zone is if the zone is having trouble. If a zone is causing a trouble indication, you can bypass that
zone to "cut it out" of the system until repairs are made.
When a zone is bypassed, it is no longer checked for alarms. When you bypass a zone using the console (or over the phone) it
will Stay bypassed until you Restore it. The console status display will show that the zone is bypassed only when the security
system is disarmed. When the system is armed, it does not display bypassed zones.
To bypass a zone, from the main menu or from the top-level display, press 2 on the console keypad, then 8 for bypass. Enter the
zone number followed by the ' # ' key, or use the arrow keys to select the zone. After the zone is entered, you will be prompted to
enter your security code. The bottom line will now read "ZONE NAME BYPASSED" to remind you that the zone is bypassed.
If a fire zone is bypassed, the console will continue to beep until that zone is restored - See Restoring Zones.
Auto-Bypass
In order to prevent the alarm from sounding unexpectedly if a window or door is open when the system is armed, the OmniPro II
will automatically bypass the zone if it is opened when the system is armed.
Note that there is an exit delay before the system is armed in any mode. The bypass will only take place if the zone is not ready
(i.e. open) when the exit delay is over and the system is actually armed.
When a zone is Auto-Bypassed, it will be automatically restored once it is secure (i.e. closed), or the next time you arm or disarm
the system. The auto-bypass is recorded in the event log as "ZONE NAME BYPASSED". To prevent any zone from being
bypassed unintentionally, you should always look for "SYSTEM OK" on the display before arming and leaving the premises.
The Auto-Bypass feature can be disabled if you do not want the system to automatically bypass open zones. If the auto-bypass
feature is disabled, the alarm will sound if a zone not ready (i.e. open) when the system is armed.
NOTE: The Auto-Bypass feature is disabled on UL Listed Installations.
Restoring Zones
9 = RESTORE
Restoring a zone puts it back on active duty in the system. When restored, the Bypassed indication will no longer be displayed on
the status line and the zone will be checked for alarms.
To restore a zone, from the top-level display, press 2 on the console keypad, then 9 for restore.
Enter the zone number followed by the ' # ' key, or use the arrow keys to select the zone. Press ' 0 ' as the first key to restore all
zones. The 0 = ALL choice is removed once a digit key or the down arrow is pressed. After the zone or all zones is entered, you
will be prompted to enter your code. The console will beep and the display will return to the top-level display.
