4. Key #3: Bypassing Zones
Bypassing zones reduces the safety of your protected premises: a
bypassed zone does not trigger the alarm when violated, nor does it
report on it!
Bypass a zone only when you must. If you bypass a zone because of
a fault, call service.
A bypassed zone is automatically reinstated when the system is
disarmed

.
Open or faulty zones do not allow you to arm your alarm system, before they are closed
or the
faults are resolved, respectively. An out of order detector can prevent a zone from being closed
technically. The only way to arm the system nevertheless is by temporarily bypass these zones.
Temporarily means for the next arming session, and so it is until the next disarming.
Zones can be bypassed only when the alarm system is disarmed, prior to or just when arming the
system. The letter “B” in “Fast zone display" mode indicates a zone is bypassed
The installer can set a time limit for a zone to be in a bypassed mode prior to arming. When this
time expires and the system has not been armed yet, the zone is automatically reinstated.
Regular users can be disabled from bypassing zone using the user authorizations. See
section 9.2.4, on page 22 for details.
4.1 How to bypass when arming
Master code to bypass the
open zone/s .... -OR- to cancel arming.
When you try to arm the alarm system and a 24-hour zone
is open or some faults occur, the
keypad sounds beeps and the message “Open Zone! Press END or Bypass”, with the zone/s
details, is displayed intermittently. You can press “3” to bypass these zones and arm the alarm
system (when the exit delay will expire), or press END and cancel arming.
If you do not cancel arming, when the Exit delay expires the system is armed and immediately
sound the alarm.
Except when the installer permanently bypass a zone (for example, when the detector is no longer needed).
Except entry/exit delayed zones.
24-Hour zones sound the alarm whenever they are violated, regardless of the system status.
