Checking the Status of Sensors
(Points) and Areas

The Points-status feature allows checking the
status of sensors in the system (and viewing
the arming-level for areas).
Steps:

Enter your user
ID and/or PIN to
log into the
keypad.

Select ► to
access other
functions.

Use the ◄ ►

arrow buttons to

scroll the items

Select Points
press Ok.

Select the desired
topic:

• Pts: Protection

Points (sensors) in the displayed area;

• Next: Show the next area;

• All: All points regardless of area.
When a point/sensor
is displayed, you'll
have these options:
• "►": Press the right arrow key to scan through

the sensors (points) in the system (or the
selected area);

• Bypass / Delbyp: Select Bypass to have the

system ignore the sensor

(or "Delbyp" to remove

a "Bypass" that is in effect).
Also see: Bypassing a faulty sensor, to follow.

• "?" jumps to the next point that is not OK.

Bypass

appears only for points that are bypassable.

An Entrance Door must be specially programmed
to be bypassable.

Ask your Security

Representative.
An area’s sensor cannot be bypassed if the area is
ON.

If all points are OK,
you will see an "All
Secure" message.

(1 minute).

Bypassing or Isolating a Faulty
Sensor

If the system (or a specific area) needs to be
armed with a faulty or insecure sensor, you will
need to bypass the problem sensor.
Steps:

Enter your user ID
and/or PIN to log
into the keypad.

Scroll the ◄ ►
left and right
arrow keys until
“Bypass” appears on the display. Press Ok

An area’s sensor cannot be bypassed if the area is
ON.
You can also bypass sensors through the Points-
status screens (see the preceding topic for details).

Select the desired
topic:

• Pts: Bypassable

points (sensors) in the displayed area;

• Next: Show the next area;
• All: All bypassable points in all areas.

When a
point/sensor is
displayed, you'll
have these options:

• "►": Press this key to scan through the sensors

(points) in the system (or the selected area);

• Bypass / Delbyp: Select Bypass to have the

system ignore the sensor

(or "Delbyp" to remove

a "Bypass" that is in effect).

• "?" jumps to the next point that is not OK.

If all bypassable
points are secure,
you will see a
related message.

A bypass is lifted the next time the area is turned
off, provided the user has the proper authority.

Isolate a Sensor

With “Isolate” authority, a sensor can be
permanently bypassed until the bypass is
manually lifted.
