Garmin FA168CPS manual Bypassing Protection Zones, Using the Bypass Key

Bypassing Protection Zones

Using the BYPASS Key

Use this key when you want to arm your system with one or more zones intentionally unprotected.

Vent Zones: Your system may have certain windows set as “vent” zones, which are automatically bypassed if left open when arming the system (you do not need to manually bypass them). However, if a vent zone window is closed after arming, it becomes protected and will cause an alarm if opened again while the system is armed.

When bypassing zones:

•The system must be disarmed before you can bypass zones.

•Bypassed zones are unprotected and will not cause an alarm if violated.

•The system will not allow fire zones to be bypassed.

•Zones are automatically unbypassed when the system is disarmed.

(Security Code)	BYPASS

Enter the 2-digit zone number(s) for the zone(s) to be bypassed (e.g., 06, 10, 13, etc.). Single digit zone numbers must be preceded by a zero (e.g. 05, 06).

2.When finished, the keypad will momentarily display a "Bypass" message for each bypassed zone number. Wait for all bypassed zones to be displayed.

Arm the system as usual. When armed, the arming message is displayed with “ZONE BYPASSED.” To display bypassed zones prior to arming, enter your security code and press the [6] BYPASS key.
