Bypassing Zones
A. General Guidance
You can program the PowerMaxExpress 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
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
OK
I
, the number and
state of the first zone containing the first zone 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 is "open" and you wish to
bypass it, and the rest of the zones are functional.

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 after having
completed the bypassing scheme. Simply re-enter the
SET BYPASS menu (see Bypassing Procedure
above), and click
