Bypassing Zones
A. General Guidance
You can program the PowerMax Pro to exclude
(bypass) selected zones, regardless of whether
these zones are "functional" (undisturbed) or "open"
(disturbed). Bypassing permits free movement of
people within certain zones although the system is
armed. It is also used to temporarily remove from
service faulty zones that require repair work. Fire and
temperature zones can not be bypassed.
Remember – zone bypassing compromises security!
Note: Zones will be bypassed throughout one
disarm-arm period only. Disarming the system after
arming will suspend the entire bypassing scheme.
B. Bypassing Procedure
For PowerMax Pro with partition feature, you may set
the bypass option according to the type of partition
access permission.
Having entered your user code
successfully (see above
- Entering the User Settings Menu), the display will read:
SET BYPASS
If at this point you click , the number and state
of the first zone / partition containing the first zone (in
PowerMax Pro with partition feature) will be automatically
displayed. Three states are then made possible:
• Open: The zone is not secured - you can
bypass the zone if you do not wish or know how
to solve the problem right away.
• Bypassed: The zone is presently bypassed
(you bypassed it before but have not armed the
system yet).
• Functional: If there is nothing wrong with the
zone, its state is described as "Functional
".
Let us assume that Zone 1 in partition 3 is "open"
and you wish to bypass it, and the rest of the zones
are functional.

At the end of the bypassing operation, BYPASS blinks:
READY BYPASS or NOT READY BYPASS
This indication will persist as long as the system
remains disarmed, and will disappear once the
system is armed.
Note: BYPASS will alternate in the display with other
messages, such as: TRBL, MEM and MSG.
C. "Unbypass" Procedure
Suppose you wish to restore zone 22 of partition 3
after having completed the bypassing scheme. Simply
re-enter the SET BYPASS menu (see Bypassing
Procedure above), and click
or until
the zone you wish to "unbypass” in the desired
zone/partition is displayed. Refer to the following steps.
