Arm & Disarm the System
Checking for Open Zones
Using the [*] READY Key
Before arming your system, all protected doors, windows and other protection zones must be closed or bypassed (see
BYPASSING section). Otherwise the keypad will display a "Not Ready" message. Using the READY key will display all
zones that are faulted, making it easier for you to secure any open zones.
To show faulted zones:
1. Press the READY Key – Do not enter security code, but simply press the READY key.
2. Secure faulted zones – Typical fault display shows open zones. Secure or bypass the zones displayed before
arming the system.
3. System can be armed – The "Ready" message will be displayed when all protection zones have been either
closed or bypassed.
you may now arm the system as usual.
Bypassing Protection Zones
Using the [6] BYPASS Key
This key is used 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. To bypass zones, the system must be disarmed first.
How to bypass protection zones:
1. Enter security code then press bypass. Example: [7] [2] [9] [6] then press the BYPASS key.
2. Enter the zone number(s) for the zones 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).
3. Wait. 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.
4. Arm the system as usual when the keypad displays the "Ready” message.
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.
