Bypass state
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, if a bay door is damaged so that the door contact
cannot be closed it prevents arming of the partition. As a temporary measure you
can bypass the door contact to make it possible to arm the partition.
Use the Device command on the Security Menu to set the bypass state of a
security alarm in a security partition.
Note: A bypass command can only be applied while the partition is disarmed.
While bypassed, the device’s alarm events are not processed. The panel will go
into alarm if you remove the bypass from the device while it is still in an alarm
state.
To bypass a security device:
1. Access the Main Menu, and then click Security.
2. Click Device, and then click Bypass.
3. Enter the panel (PP), card (CC), and device (DDDD) addresses.
4. Enter the access level password.
To remove the bypass setting:
1. Access the Main Menu, and then click Security.
2. Click Device, and then click Remove Bypass.
3. Enter the panel (PP), card (CC), and device (DDDD) addresses.
4. Enter the access level password.
Building management system
communication
You can configure your EST3X system to communicate with a building
management system by using an FSB-PC2 or FSB-PCLW Communication
Bridge. These field server bridges are ancillary devices that provide a
communication bridge between an EST3 or an EST3X systems and a building
management system (BMS) by converting the EST control panel External
Communications Protocol into supported serial and Ethernet protocols. The
communication bridge operates over RS-232 or RS-485 serial communications,
or Ethernet (10/100Base-T).
