Bypassing security devices
When you bypass a security device, the system suppresses the
device’s security alarm events, but continues to process all other
events (e.g. Tamper, Fault, and Maintenance). For example, say
a loading bay door is damaged so that the door contact cannot be
closed. This prevents arming of the partition. As a temporary
measure you can bypass the door contact to make it possible to
arm the partition.
Devices can only be bypassed and unbypassed while the
partition is disarmed. When armed, you can not bypass or
remove bypasses.
While bypassed, the device’s alarm events are not processed.
The panel will go into alarm if you unbypass the device while it
is still in an alarm state.
Security points may be bypassed and disabled at the same time.
In this state, the disable takes priority and only the disable state
is annunciated. When the point becomes enabled, the bypass
indication will once again be displayed.
Note: To bypass a device you need the device’s logical address.
You can get device’s logical addresses from an SDU Objects
report. In addition, the SDU includes a setting that defines how
many points in a partition can be bypassed and still allow arming
of that partition.
To bypass a security device:
1. Press the Command Menus button , then choose Security.
2. Choose Device.
3. Choose Bypass.
4. Enter the logical address of the device.
5. If prompted, enter a valid user access level password.
