Force Bypassing
When a protected door or window is open, the system
places the sensor on its Sensors Not Ready list. In order
to arm the system, one must either close the sensor or
place it on the system’s Bypassed Sensors list.
Bypassed Sensors are ones that are intentionally
left unprotected. This method of bypassing a sensor
is called Force Bypassing. To learn how to manually
bypass a sensor, see Manually Bypassing a Sensor,
pg. 54.
Opening a Sensor When the System is
Disarmed
When a protected door or window is opened while the
system is disarmed, the 2GIG EDGE Panel responds as
follows:
»
The system status message on the
touchscreen reads System Not Ready to Arm.
»
The Sensors Not Ready list and BYPASS
ALL button appears.
»
The name of the protected zone appears on
the Sensors Not Ready list.
»
The number of open sensors appears in the
top-right corner of the list.
»
The system uses the voice descriptor
assigned to the sensor to announce that the
protected zone is open. If Chime is enabled,
see Chimes, page 55.
System Not Ready to Arm—Sensors Not Ready List
WARNING!! A bypassed burglary protection sensor
does NOT provide security protection when the
system is armed. See Bypass Sensors, pg. 54.
NOTES:
1 Residential alarm systems do not permit you
to bypass sensors installed in re, carbon
monoxide, or emergency zones.
2 In order to bypass a sensor, you must enter a
valid User Code.
Force Bypassing a Sensor
If you want to arm the system and ignore the open
sensor, you must force bypass the sensor.
To force bypass the sensor:
1. Below the Sensors Not Ready list, tap BYPASS
ALL.
Sensors Not Ready > Bypass All
Enter an Active User Code to Bypass Sensors
2. At the Enter your code to bypass sensors
screen, enter an active user code.
3. When the system status message changes to
System Ready to Arm (BYPASS), you can arm
the system. See Arming the System, pg. 21.
