How to Bypass Zones
The Bypass function is used when you want to arm the system with one or more zones left open. Bypassed zones are unprotected and
do not cause an alarm when violated while the system is armed.
• Residential systems do not allow bypassing fire, carbon monoxide or emergency zones. On commercial fire
specified user may be allowed to bypass fire, carbon monoxide and system zones, but that user must be enabled to do
so by the system installer.
• There are limits on the number of zones that can be bypassed at one time. On residential systems, ten (10) zones can
be bypassed at once; on commercial systems, the limit is five (5).
To bypass zones, do the following:
1. From the Home screen, touch the Security
and More Choices icons.
Note: If any zones are bypassed or faulted, a Display Faults icon is also
displayed on this screen.
2. Press the Show Zones icon.
While the touchscreen is requesting and receiving the zone data from the
system, the screen displays Please Wait! Then the zones and their current
status are displayed.
3. Highlight the zone(s) to be bypassed and
touch the Bypass Selected icon.
4. Enter the 4-digit user code.
Note: If zones have already been bypassed, the top of this screen says
Ready Bypass and To Bypass Zones, Enter Code.
5. Touch the Refresh Data icon.
The More Choices screen is displayed showing the system status
Ready-Bypass.
How to Clear Bypassed Zones
Bypassed zones are automatically un-bypassed when the system is disarmed. To un-bypass a zone manually, take these steps:
1. Touch the SHOW ZONES icon.
2. Touch the CLEAR BYPASSES icon.
3. Enter your 4-digit user code. The More
Choices screen is displayed showing the
system as Ready to Arm.
While the touchscreen is requesting and receiving zone data from
the system, the screen displays Please Wait! Then the zones and
their current status are displayed.
NOTE: If the system is armed, un-bypassing a zone will disarm
the system. If zones are still faulted (not ready) the system
will show the status
