Open and Closed Sensors
Before you can arm your system, all protected doors, windows, and other protection zones must be closed or bypassed
(see “Force Bypassing”). For example, if you leave a protected window open, the system considers it an open sensor. If a
protected window is shut, the system considers it a closed sensor.
Bypassed Sensors
When sensors are left open, the system cannot be armed unless that sensor is closed (see “Open and Closed Sensors”
above) or added to the system’s Bypassed Sensors list. Bypassed Sensors are ones that you intentionally decide to leave
unprotected. See “Force Bypassing.”
NOTE: Bypassed 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.
Sample Burglary Alarm Plan
Before the installation, your 2GIG alarm dealer will work with you to design, install, and confi gure a system intended
to best protect your dwelling. This illustration is an example of a typical residential burglary alarm system offering both
perimeter and interior protection:
