Zone Bypassing
The zone bypassing function is used when access is needed to part of the protected area while the
system is armed. Zones which are temporarily out of service due to damaged wiring or contacts may
be bypassed to allow system arming until repairs can be made.
Bypassed zones will not cause an alarm. Zones cannot be bypassed once the system is armed.
Bypassed zones are automatically cancelled each time the system is disarmed and must be reapplied
before the next arming.
NOTE: For security reasons, your installer may program the system to prevent you from
bypassing certain zones.
Bypassing zones reduces your security protection. If you are bypassing a zone due to damaged
wiring or contacts, please call a service technician immediately so that the problem can be
resolved and your system returned to proper working order.
Do not unintentionally bypass zones when you arm your system.
To bypass zones from an LED keypad:
Start with the system in the Ready state. Enter [✱][1][Zone number(s) to be bypassed].
Enter the zone number(s) as a single digit from 1 to 6. As each zone is bypassed, the corresponding
zone light will turn ON. If a zone is bypassed by mistake, press that zone number again and the zone
light will turn OFF, indicating that the zone is not bypassed. Press [#] to return to the Ready state.
To recall the last group of bypassed zones:
Enter [✱][1][9]. The zone lights corresponding to the last group of bypassed zones will turn ON. If you
wish to add or delete a zone from the group, press [#] to exit the viewing function and return to the
Ready state, then follow the instructions above to perform zone bypassing.
When the system is armed, the Bypass light will be ON if one or more zones are bypassed.

This display will be shown if a zone was open when you entered the bypassing
command. The open zone will be represented by “O”. If you bypass the open zone,
the “O” will be replaced by a “B”.
To exit the bypassing mode and return to the Ready state, press the [#] key.
