  • Bypassing (Switching Off) Zones on Arming

    Manual Bypass Programming allows you to program the alarm system to ignore (deactivate) specified zones the next time the system is armed.
    For example, you may wish to bypass certain zones when workers are renovating part of your establishment.
    Please note that a Fire Zone cannot be bypassed.

    NOTE: To un-bypass a zone, simply repeat the above procedure.

  • Force Arming the Alarm

    There is no way of force arming the alarm system.
    Force arming allows you to rapidly arm the system without waiting for all zones in the system to close.
    During force arming, a force zone is considered “deactivated” until it closes, after which the system will arm that zone.
    Force arming is commonly used when a motion detector is protecting the area occupied by a keypad.
    For example, when arming the system from within a force zone, the system will allow you to arm even if the zone is open and, the system sill arm the zone once it closes.

  • Home (Stay) Arming the Alarm

    This method allows you to remain in the protected area while partially arming the system.
    Stay zones are zones that are bypassed when Stay arming.
    For example, when you go to sleep at night, doors and windows can be armed without arming other zones like motion detectors.
    1) Press the [STAY] button.
    2) Enter a valid user code.
    3) Press the [ENTER] key.
    4) The exit delay will commence and the keypad will beep during the exit delay time.
    5) The (A), (B) or (C) LED / LCD segment will now flash, indicating the area is home armed.
    6) If the keypad emits a long beep, the user code was rejected.
