Zone Bypassing
The zone bypassing function is used when access is needed to part of the protected area while the
system is armed. Zones which are temporarily out of service due to damaged wiring or contacts may be
bypassed to allow system arming until repairs can be made.
Bypassed zones will not cause an alarm. Zones cannot be bypassed once the system is armed.
Bypassed zones are automatically cancelled each time the system is disarmed and must be reapplied
before the next arming.
NOTE: For security reasons, your installer may program the system to prevent you from bypassing
certain zones. Bypassing zones reduces your security protection. If you are bypassing a zone due
to damaged wiring or contacts, please call a service technician immediately so that the problem
can be resolved and your system returned to proper working order. Do not unintentionally bypass
zones when you arm your system.
To bypass zones from an LED keypad:
Start with the system in the Ready state. Enter [✱][1][Zone number(s) to be bypassed].
Enter the zone number(s) as a double digit from 01 to 08. As each zone is bypassed, the corresponding
zone light will turn ON. If a zone is bypassed by mistake, press that zone number again and the zone light
will turn OFF, indicating that the zone is not bypassed. Press [#] to return to the Ready state.
When the system is armed, the Bypass light will be ON if one or more zones are bypassed.
To bypass zones from an LCD keypad:
To bypass a zone, the system must be in the Ready state. The display will read...
Press the [✱] key to enter the functions menu. The display will read...
Press the [
✱] key to enter the zone bypassing mode. The display will read...
Use the arrow (< >) keys to find the zone to be bypassed and press the [

“B” will appear on the display to show that the zone is bypassed. To unbypass a zone,
enter the zone number; the “B” will disappear from the display to show that the zone is
no longer bypassed.
This display will be shown if a zone was open when you entered the bypassing
command. The open zone will be represented by “O”. If you bypass the open zone, the
“O” will be replaced by a “B”.
To exit the bypassing mode and return to the Ready state, press the [#] key.
Bypass Groups
A Bypass Group is a selection of zones programmed into the system’s memory. The Bypass Group can
be recalled upon arming to allow quick bypassing of a selection of zones on a regular basis.
To program the Bypass Group, perform the following:
1. Press [✱][1], followed by your access code, if necessary.
2. Enter the zone numbers of the zones to be included in the Bypass Group. Each zone number is two digits.
3. Once all zones to be included have been selected, press [9][5].
To select the Bypass Group when arming the system, perform the following:
1. Press [✱][1], followed by your access code, if necessary.
2. Press [9][1].
3. Press [#] to return to the Ready state. Arm the system.
