If installer-enabled, you can arm a partition – even if a zone within that partition is not
secured – by manually bypassing that zone.
If not bypassed, when a zone is not secured, or "open" (OP) for whatever reason, by default
it will be in a "not-ready" (NR) state, meaning the system is not ready to be armed, and the
keypad's "ready" indicator will not display.
Typical reasons for bypassing a zone are, for example, to arm the system while allowing
access a zone in an otherwise protected area, or to arm the system while temporarily
circumventing the arming of a specific zone.
NOTE: If installer-configured, you can "force arm" which automatically bypasses specific
zone(s) upon arming. See Forced Arming (Arming with Automatically-Bypassed Zones), page 55.
CAUTION: Zone bypassing, whether manual or automatic, may compromise the level of
protection the system can offer.
Viewing Not-Ready Zones
Before considering whether to bypass zones, first view the non-secured/not-ready zones in
the system.
NOTE: Users can only view the "not-ready" zones that they are allowed to operate,
according to their user authority level (see Describing User Authority Levels, page 14).
➢ To view not-ready zones:
1. At the keypad, enter your Grand Master or user code, and then press OK.
2. Scroll, to View and then press OK.
3. Scroll to Zone Status, and then press OK.
4. Scroll to view the zones, which will display as READY or NOT READY.
