PROTECTING YOURSELF
WHILE YOU ARE ON PREMISES
Arming with Selective Zone Shunting
Your alarm specialist may have selected one
or more zones with the capability of being
selectively shunted (bypassed) from the
system. Since a shunted zone cannot cause an
alarm, you may wish to use this feature to turn
off the interior areas when arming, while keep
ing your perimeter zones (windows, doors,
etc.) active.
Check your Alarm Plan and note which zones
may be selectively shunted. To utilize the
selective-shunt feature, first check the green
STATUS light to make sure that all zones are
operating properly. Then press the Shunt
Button [S] followed by the number(s) of the
zone(s) to be bypassed. Thus, to bypass Zones
2 and 3, for example, press
[S] then [2] = Zone 2 shunted
[S] then [3] = Zone 3 shunted.
The yellow SHUNT light will come on when-
ever one or more zones are shunted. Enter
your user code to arm the remaining zones.
The green STATUS light will go off and the red
ARMED/MEMORY light will come on.
NOTE:
When the panel is subsequently
disarmed, all shunted zones will automatically
revert back to active zones.

Arming with Group Zone Shunting
Your alarm specialist may have also opted for
one or more interior zones to be “group
shunted”, that is, bypassed all at the same
time. This group of zones is bypassed by
simply pressing Key [S] twice prior to arming.
The yellow SHUNT light will come on. Enter
your user code to arm the remaining zones.
The green STATUS light will go off and the red
ARMED/MEMORY light will come on. When
the panel is subsequently disarmed, all
shunted zones will automatically revert back
to active zones.
NOTE: The yellow SHUNT light will not come
on if zones are auto-shunted.
Arming with Instant Protection
Pressing Key [4] will cancel both the exit and
entry delays on the exit/entry zone upon
arming. Use this feature when at home (as
when retiring for the evening, for example) to
sound an instant alarm on intrusion through
the exit/entry door. To arm with instant protec-
tion, hold down Instant Alarm Key [S] until it
beeps, then enter your code to arm the panel.
(If Key [4] is pressed
after
the panel is armed,
only
entry
delay will be cancelled.) The red
ARMED/MEMORY light will flash rapidly to
remind you that you have armed with instant
Mini-Sounder:
Sounder that warns that entry delay time is in
progress; exit delay time has expired; or an
attempt is made to arm the system with a zone
in trouble.
Panic Buttons:
Two buttons ([*]) and ([#]) on the keypad that
are used to activate the Panic Zone in an
emergency. Both must be pressed together.
Priority Zone:
A zone which, when in trouble, will prevent
arming.
Priority Zone With Bypass:
A Priority Zone that will permit arming if the
alarm condition is bypassed by means of Reset
Key [9].
Selective Shunt:
A zone bypass that is selected using the Shunt
Key [S] followed by the zone number.
Shunt Button:
Key [S] on the keypad. Allows you to bypass
one or more protective zones from the system.
