Auto Bypass
When the system is armed and any zone or zone(s) on the system have been programmed as Stay/Away the panel will immediately turn on the ‘Bypass’ light. It will then monitor all zones programmed as Delay 1 and Delay 2.
If no delay type zone is violated by the end of the exit delay the panel will bypass all Stay/Away type zones. The ‘Bypass’ light will remain on to inform the home owner that the interior protection has been automatically bypassed by the panel. If a delay zone is violated during the exit delay, the Stay/Away zones will be active after the exit delay expires.
This is a convenience for the user that wishes to arm the panel while at home. The user does not have to bypass the interior manually. The user can add the Stay/Away zones back into the system at any time by entering the [✱] [1] keypad command.
Zone Bypass/Reactivate Stay/Away Zones
The [✱] [1] keypad command can be used to bypass individual zones. It can be used if the user wants to have access to an area while the Partition is armed or to bypass a defective zone (bad contact, damaged wiring) until service can be provided.
A Partition can be armed with a bypassed zone. A bypassed zone will not cause an alarm. If Code Required for Bypass is enabled an access code will be required to enter the Bypass mode. Only user codes with the Bypass attribute enabled will be able to bypass zones.
Zones can only be bypassed when the partition is disarmed.
To bypass a zone:
- Enter [✱] [1] (access code if required).
- The keypad will flash the ‘Bypass’ light and turn on the zone lights for any zones already bypassed.
- Enter the 2 digit zone number to bypass the zone.
- The keypad will turn on the zone light.
- Press [#].
All zones that were lit when the [#] key was pressed are now bypassed. The ‘Bypass’ light will be on steady to indicate zones are bypassed.
To un-bypass a zone:
- Enter [✱] [1] (access code if required).
- The keypad will flash the ‘Bypass’ light and turn on the zone lights for any zones already bypassed.
- Enter the 2 digit zone number to un-bypass the zone.
- The keypad will turn off the zone light.
- Press [#]
All zones that were lit when the [#] key was pressed are now bypassed. If no zones were lit, the ‘Bypass’ light will be off and no zones will be bypassed.
When a Partition is disarmed all manually bypassed zones will be un-bypassed.
