Section 5: Using Advanced Functions
This section describes how to perform more specialized funct ions: turning off spe-
cific detectors (bypassing zones), turning the door chime on or off, checking sys-
tem troubles, and testing your system.
Tur ning Off
Part of Your
System
(Bypassing
Zones)
Sometimes, you may need to temporarily turn off one or more detectors (e.g ., if
you need to go into a protected area while the system is turne d on or if a detector
is temporarily out of service but you need to turn on the s ystem).
This is called “bypassing”. When you bypass a detect or, it will not turn on the
next time you turn on your system.
Detectors (zones) cannot be bypassed once the system is on. Bypasse s 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.
Bypassing a Zone
1. Start with the system turned off. Press .
2. An [access code] may be required. If it is the the display will go blank. If this
happens, enter your [access code].
3. Enter the two-digit number (01-32) of the detector you want to turn off (bypass).
The system will scroll all bypassed detectors.
TIP: To find out the number of a detector, check in Zone Information on page 30.
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 then scroll all bypassed zones.
5. W hen 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).
Bypassing a Group of Zones
Two groups of pre-programmed zones can be stored for future use.
1 Bypass all zones you wish to group as described above.
2 Enter 95 to store the zones in group 1 or 96 to store them in group 2.
3 To recall group 1 press 91; to activate group 2 press 92
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 reso lved and your system returned
to proper working order.
