Section 5: Using Advanced Functions

This section describes how to perform more specialized functions: turning off spe-

cific detectors (bypassing zones), turning the door chime on or off, checking sys-

tem troubles, and testing your system.

Turning Off

Sometimes, you may need to temporarily turn off a detector:

Part of Your

• if you need to go into a protected area while the system is turned on

System

• or, if a detector is temporarily out of service but you need to turn on the system

(Bypassing

This is called "bypassing". When you bypass a detector, it will not turn on the next

Zones)

time you turn on your system.

Detectors (zones) cannot be bypassed once the system is on. Bypasses on detec-

tors are automatically cancelled each time the system is turned off. You must

bypass the detectors again, if required, before you turn the system on again.

1. Start with the system turned off. Press

2. If the system asks for your [access code], enter it now.

3. Enter the two-digit number (01-32) of the detector you want to turn off (bypass).

The system will announce the zones (detectors) that are bypassed: "There are

(number) zones bypassed: {Zone XX}, etc...To exit, press [#]."

TIP: To find out the number of a detector, check in Zone Information on page

32.

4. To turn a detector back on, enter the two-digit number of the zone (01-32).

The system will return the zone to normal status and the zone will be ON when

the system is next armed.

The system will announce any other zones (detectors) which are bypassed:

"There are (number) zones bypassed: {Zone XX}, etc...To exit, press [#]."

5. When you are finished turning off detectors, press

6. The next time you turn on your system, the bypassed detectors will not turn

on. When you turn your system off again, all zones will return to normal (they

will not be bypassed).

NOTE: Bypassed detectors will not be able to sound an alarm - this reduces

your level of security. If a detector is not working, call a service technician

immediately so that the problem can be resolved and your system returned

to proper working order.

NOTE: For security reasons, your installer may program the system to pre-

vent you from turning off certain detectors (for example, smoke detectors).

NOTE: If you have 24-hour zones on your system, they will stay bypassed

until you turn off the bypass using the steps above (ask your installer for

more information).

Section 4: Dealing With Alarms and

Emergencies

Read this section carefully so that you will know what to do if your system goes

into alarm.

If you return to your premises and the siren is on. Contact the local

authorities from a nearby safe location.

Your installer will tell you if fire detection equipment has been installed and

enabled on your system.

NOTE: A fire alarm always has priority over an intrusion (burglary) alarm.

Fire Alarms

A pulsing siren means a fire alarm. If there is a fire, or if you are not sure, fol-

low your evacuation plan immediately (see Fire Escape Planning on page

23). The system may also announce the label for the zone(s) that triggered the

alarm, if programmed by the installer.

If remote monitoring is enabled, the system will send a fire message to the central

station. Your installer may have set up the keypad Fire keys and other fire equip-

ment to send a fire alarm message to the central station as soon as they are acti-

vated.

Your installer may have set up other equipment (e.g. smoke detectors) to have a

30 second delay before sending the alarm message to the central station. Your

installer will inform you how the equipment on your system operates. Equipment

that has been set up with a 30 second delay (e.g. smoke detectors) gives you time

to correct the problem before a false alarm is sent to the central station.

If there is no fire condition, to silence the fire alarm:

1. Press

within 30 seconds of the beginning of the alarm. The fire alarm and

communication to the central station will be delayed for 90 seconds to give you

time to clear the smoke detector.

2. If the detector still detects smoke after 90 seconds, the alarm will sound again.

If there is no smoke, the system will return to normal.

3. If you do not press

fire message to the central station (if remote monitoring is enabled on your sys-

tem). To silence the fire alarm after the 30 second delay has expired, enter your

[access code].

NOTE: If you suspect that a fire message has been transmitted, but there is

no fire condition, call the central station to avoid an unnecessary response.

NOTE: Your installer may have programmed the system to operate differ-

ently than described above. Ask your installer for more information

regarding your system's operation.

within the 30 second delay time, the system will send a
