Manual Bypass Programming
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. Once
the system is disarmed, the bypass entries are erased. Manual Bypass Programming can also be activated by using One-Touch
Bypass Programming (see page 5). To remove the Bypass feature from a zone, in step 3 enter the zone number again or press
[
CLEAR
]
to erase all current entries. When zones are bypassed, the
[
BYP
]
key will illuminate.
Press
[
ENTER
]
after step 2 to bypass all open zones. Press
[
CLEAR
]
twice to exit without saving. Press
[
CLEAR
]
+
[
ENTER
]
to delete bypassed
zones.
Bypass Recall Feature
After disarming the system, the bypass entries are erased. The Bypass Recall feature reinstates the previous bypass entries saved
in memory. This eliminates the need to manually re-program the bypass entries every time you arm the system.
Alarm Memory Display
All zones where alarms have occurred will be stored in memory. The system will erase the contents of the Alarm Memory every time the
system is armed.
If an alarm has occurred on a zone, the
[
MEM
]
key illuminates, and all zones flash where alarms occurred. These zones will be stored in
memory. After disarming the system, press the
[
MEM
]
key to illuminate the LEDs corresponding to the zones that were in alarm. To exit
the Alarm Memory Display, press the
[
CLEAR
]
key. The system will erase the contents of the Alarm Memory every time the system is
armed.
Fire Alarms
Upon a fire alarm, the bell/siren will emit three “squawks” at 2 second intervals until silenced or reset by entering a valid access code. If
the zone is a Delayed Fire Zone, there is a delay before the system contacts the monitoring station. This will prevent unnecessary
reporting of false alarms. If there is no fire condition, contact your monitoring station immediately to avoid an unnecessary response.
Minimizing Fire Hazards
The three most common causes of fires:
• Cooking is the leading cause of home fires in the U.S. It's also the leading cause of fire injuries. Cooking fires often result from
unattended cooking and human error, rather than mechanical failure of stoves or ovens.
• Careless smoking is the leading cause of fire deaths. Smoke detectors and smolder-resistant bedding and upholstered furniture
are significant fire deterrents.
• Heating is the second leading cause of residential fires. However, heating fires are a larger problem in single family homes than in
apartments since the heating systems in single family homes are often not professionally maintained.
