 Bypass Zones
Allows you to bypass a zone prior to arming.
Bypassing is usually done when a zone cannot be restored to 
normal. A signiÞ cant beneÞ t of bypassing a zone is to allow a zone 
in a faulted or bad condition to be bypassed so arming can occur.  
The faulted zone can be serviced the next day.
A zone can be bypassed only while it is disarmed. Fire, panic, 
emergency, and supervisory type zones are always armed, so they 
can never be manually bypassed.
Bypass Zones can also be used to reset a zone that has been 
bypassed and restore it back into the system.
When Bypass Zones is selected, a report can be transmit ted to your 
central station.
Using the Bypass Zones Function
1.  Access the User Menu.
2.  Press COMMAND until BYPASS ZONES? displays.
3. Press any Select key. The keypad displays
ZONE: - RST BYPS.
4.  To Bypass a zone, enter the zone number and select BYPS.  
The zone number automatically disappears and a new zone 
number can be entered. Refer back to step 3.
5.  To Reset a zone, enter the zone number and select RST.
Browser Feature
If you are unsure of the zone number or description, refer to 
Appendix B at the back of this guide for a diagram showing you how 
to use the built-in Bypass Zones browser.
 Zone Monitor
Allows the system to monitor selected disarmed zones (doors, 
windows, or motion detectors) and display their name at the 
keypad as they are faulted. This feature could be used to monitor 
an access door.
Zone Monitor works with any disarmed zone and also sounds 
the keypad monitor tone when the zone faults. The zone name  
displays at all keypads designated for the area in your system.
You can place any combination of disarmed zones in Zone Monitor 
but only the most recent zone faulted displays. The displayed zone 
name clears automatically after a short time or when the zone is 
armed.
Testing your system’s burglary protection
After using the System Test function, place all zones in Zone 
Monitor. Starting at the front door, go around and open and then 
close each door and window. You should hear the keypad beep 
each time. The keypad also displays the name of each zone as its 
device is opened. 
Once the protected doors and windows test is complete, walk in 
front of each motion detector. The keypad should beep to conÞ rm 
the zone has tripped. If at any time during your weekly testing 
a device does not cause the keypad to beep, call the service 
department for assistance.
