SENSOR BYPASSING
Beforethesystemcanbearmed,all
protecteddoorsandwindowsmustbe
closedorbypassed.Youcanbypassopen
sensorsonprotected doorsorwindows
beforearmingthesystem.Whenasensoris
bypassed,thesystemignoresthatthedoor
orwindowisopen.Twotypesofsensor
bypassesareava
ilable:
•Forced
•Manual
Insom
ecases(suchaswhenusingthe
securitysystemforprotectionwhenstaying
athome)itmaybedesirabletoleavesome
sensor‐protecteddoorsorwindowsopen.
Temporari lybypa ssingasensorforthisuseis
calledForceBypassing.
NOTE: Fo
rcebypassesare
automaticallyremovedwhenthe
systemisdisarmed.
Sensorbypassingisalsosometimesused
whenasensorrequiresservice.Asensor’s
magnetmightbemissing,oranexternal
switchcontactconnectedtoasensormight
befaulty,causingthesensortobedetected
asopenbytheControlPanel.Inthese
conditions,youmaynee dtoschedulea
servicecal
lwithyourqualifiedalarmservice
techniciantorepairorreplacethetroubled
sensor.Ifthesecuritysystemneedstobe
armedbeforethesensorcanbeserviced,
thesensorcanbemanuallybypassedsothe
restofthesystemcanbearmed.Depending
onprogramming,manualbypassescan
remaininplaceunti
ltheyaremanually
removed.
NOTE: B
ypassedsensorsofferno
protectionandcannotcausean
alarm.Usebypassifyouwantto
armyoursystemwithoneormore
sensorsopenandintentionally
unprotected.
Force Bypass All Sensors
Ifanysensorsareopenwhenthesystemis
disarmed,theArmbuttononthepanelturns
YELLOW.WhenyoutaptheArmbutton,the
systemautomaticallyrevealstheBypass
screenwhichletsyouarmthesystemwhile
forcingittobypassallopensensors.
Toforcebypassallopensensors:
1 Ensureasensorisopen,suchasadoor
orwindow.
2 AttheSecurityorMenuscreen,tapthe
YELLOWArmbutton.
3 AttheBypassscreen,tapBypassAll.
Thisforcesthesystemtobypassallof
theopensensorsinthelist,including
anyopeninteriorsensors.
4 AttheEnterCodescreen,enteravalid
usercodetobypassthesensor.
NOTE: TheQuickBy
passfeaturecan
alsobeconfiguredbytheinstaller.
Fordetails,refertotheControl
Panel’ sInstallation&
ProgrammingGuide.
5 AttheReadytoArm(SensorsBypassed)
screen,tapStayorAway.
Later,whenyoudisarmthesystem,the
bypassedsensorsarereturnedtotheir
normalstate.
Bypassing/Un-Bypassing
Sensors
Toaddorremovesensorsonthesystem’ s
bypasslist:
1 AttheHomescreen,tapMenu.
2 AttheMenuscreen,tapToolbox.
3 Enteravalidusercodetogainaccessto
theToolbox.
