YOUR SYSTEM WILL NOT ARM IF A SENSOR HAS A FAULT OR TROUBLE CONDITION UNLESS THAT SENSOR IS BYPASSED.

Notes

  • A bypassed sensor will not prevent the system from being Armed.
  • Faults include doors and windows that are simply Open.
  • Trouble  conditions include low batteries, communication problems and sensors that have been tampered with.  
If you try to Arm your system when a sensor has a Fault or Trouble condition, you'll see a message like this:
 
  • Click OK to dismiss the message.
  • Click SENSORS  or and a list of your sensors appears. Problem sensors are labeled Faulted or Trouble:
  • Select the problem sensor by clicking its check box on the right and click BYPASS at the bottom of the list. (If your system has a lot of sensors, you may have to scroll down for the BYPASS button.)  
  • If you're prompted for your user code, enter it and click SUBMIT.  
Clearing a bypassed sensor means that it can keep the system from arming until its problem is resolved (i.e., the sensor's door or window is closed).  
 
To clear (UN-bypass) a bypassed sensor, click CLEAR BYPASS. You may be prompted for your user code again.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

  • Don't ignore sensors with Trouble conditions! Low batteries should be replaced and communication problems should be resolved at your earliest opportunity. Tamper conditions should be investigated and fixed immediately.
  • When the system is Disarmed, Bypassed zones are automatically cleared (un-bypassed).
  • Fire and Carbon Monoxide (CO) sensors cannot be bypassed
  • Entries on the sensor list with labels such Temperature, Local Alarm and Police are "virtual zones" representing other functions and cannot be bypassed.
