Bypassing Protection Zones
Using the BYPASS Key
Use t his key when you want to arm your system with one or more zones
intentionally unprotected. The system must be disarmed first.
Vent Zones: Your system may have certain windows set as “vent” zones, which are
automatically bypassed if left open when arming the system (you do not need to
manually bypass them). However, if a vent zone window is closed after arming, it
becomes protected and will cause an alarm if opened again while the system is
armed.
When bypassing zones:
• The system must be disarmed before you can bypass zones.
• Bypassed zones are unprotected and will not cause an alarm if violated.
• The system will not allow fire zones to be bypassed.
• Zones are automatically unbypassed when the system is disarmed.

bypassed (e.g., 06, 10, 13, etc.). Single digit zone
