Bypassing sensors
Bypassing a sensor allows you to open the sensor while the system is armed. For example, if your system is
armed and you want to open your kitchen window but do not want to disarm the entire system, you can bypass
the kitchen window sensor and then open the kitchen window without causing an alarm. Bypassed sensors are
automatically unbypassed when the arming level is changed to a level where the sensor is not active.
Bypassing
1. Press Bypass and enter the master code.
2. Scroll up/down until you reach the sensor to be bypassed.
3. The display shows, for example, Sn 1 front door on the first line.
4. Press Enter to bypass (deactivate) the sensor.
5. When a sensor is bypassed, the panel displays Bypassed on the second line.
Unbypassing
1. Press Bypass and enter the master code.
2. Scroll up/down to the sensor to be unbypassed. The sensor must be currently bypassed.
3. Press Enter to unbypass (reactivate) the sensor.
4. The panel removes the word Bypassed from the second line of the display.
Alarms
The system provides a series of alarms that indicate an unusual occurrence. When an alarm is active, the panel
displays:
Alarm Alarm Alarm
Press Status
Alarms are canceled by entering a valid master or user code. After alarms are canceled, the system will be
disarmed.
Canceling and preventing accidental alarms
One of the biggest concerns you might have regarding your security system is causing an accidental alarm.
Most accidental alarms occur when leaving the residence after arming the system or before disarming the
system upon your return.
There is a communicator delay (dialer delay) of 30 seconds programmed into this panel. Usually, the panel will
delay 30 seconds before dialing the central monitoring station to send reports. You can have your installer
program this delay time between 0 and 254 seconds. To cancel an accidental alarm before the programmed
dialer delay time expires, enter your access code.
