Bypassing Zones

A "bypassed" zone will not cause an alarm. Zones may be bypassed to allow access to part of the

protected area while other zones are armed. For example, you could bypass the zone protecting your

living room. This would allow you to remain in the room, while the other zones on your system are armed.

With the system disarmed, enter [ ][1][Access Code] to display bypassed zones. The Zone Lights

representing bypassed zones will come ON. Ensure that any zone displayed as being bypassed is

intentionally bypassed. Zone bypasses are automatically cancelled when the panel is disarmed.

To Bypass Zones:

Enter [ ][1][Access Code]; the "System" light will FLASH.

Enter the number of the zone to be bypassed; the corresponding Zone Light will come ON to indicate that

the zone is bypassed. To remove a bypass, enter the zone number to shut its Zone Light OFF. When all

desired zones are bypassed, press the [#] Key to return to "Ready".

When you arm your system, the zones you have indicated will now be bypassed. When arming the system

with bypassed zones, it is always a good idea to enter the [ ][1][Access Code] command to review the list

of bypassed zones before entering an Access Code to arm the system. After ensuring that the desired

zones are bypassed, press the [#] Key, and then enter an Access Code to arm the system.

Three types of alarms may be activated by pressing and holding a single key on the keypad. Your

installer will inform you of how the [F], [A] and [P] Keys will operate on your system.

[F]

Press and hold the [F] Key for 2 seconds to sound an [F] Key alarm; the siren will sound with

a pulsed tone. The keypad will sound a series of short beeps once the system has

accepted the alarm.

[A]

Press and hold the [A] Key for 2 seconds to generate an [A] Key alarm. The siren will not

sound when this function is activated. Your installer will inform you of how this alarm will

operate; this alarm may be programmed to activate a device, such as a door lock or a

warning light. The keypad will sound a series of short beeps once the system has accepted

the alarm.

[P]

Press and hold the [P] Key for 2 seconds to generate a [P] Key alarm. The alarm may be

programmed as either silent or audible; your installer will inform you of how this alarm will

operate. If your installer has programmed this alarm to be audible, the keypad will sound a

series of short beeps once the system has accepted the alarm, and the siren will sound a

steady tone.

A special keypad command may be used to operate various devices connected to your security system.

To operate the Utility Output, enter [ ][7] on the keypad. When the command is entered, the keypad will

sound a single tone for 5 seconds, and the Utility Output will be activated for 5 seconds.

This command may be used to operate devices such as special lighting or door strikes. Your installer

will inform you of how the Utility Output function is set up on your system.
