Page 9Bypassing Zones8 = BYPASSYou can Bypass a zone that you do not want protected while the system is armed. Bypassing is also the only way that a tamper orpanic zone can be disarmed. For example, if there is a liquor closet or gun case on a tamper zone, then you must bypass that zoneto gain access to it.Another reason to Bypass a zone is if the zone is having trouble. If a zone is causing a trouble indication, you can bypass thatzone to "cut it out" of the system until repairs are made.When a zone is bypassed, it is no longer checked for alarms. When you bypass a zone using the console (or over the phone) itwill Stay bypassed until you Restore it. The console status display will show that the zone is bypassed only when the securitysystem is disarmed. When the system is armed, it does not display bypassed zones.To bypass a zone, from the main menu or from the top-level display, press 2 on the console keypad, then 8 for bypass. Enter thezone number followed by the ' # ' key, or use the arrow keys to select the zone. After the zone is entered, you will be prompted toenter your security code. The bottom line will now read "ZONE NAME BYPASSED" to remind you that the zone is bypassed.If a fire zone is bypassed, the console will continue to beep until that zone is restored - See Restoring Zones.Auto-BypassIn order to prevent the alarm from sounding unexpectedly if a window or door is open when the system is armed, the OmniPro IIwill automatically bypass the zone if it is opened when the system is armed.Note that there is an exit delay before the system is armed in any mode. The bypass will only take place if the zone is not ready(i.e. open) when the exit delay is over and the system is actually armed.When a zone is Auto-Bypassed, it will be automatically restored once it is secure (i.e. closed), or the next time you arm or disarmthe system. The auto-bypass is recorded in the event log as "ZONE NAME BYPASSED". To prevent any zone from beingbypassed unintentionally, you should always look for "SYSTEM OK" on the display before arming and leaving the premises.The Auto-Bypass feature can be disabled if you do not want the system to automatically bypass open zones. If the auto-bypassfeature is disabled, the alarm will sound if a zone not ready (i.e. open) when the system is armed.NOTE: The Auto-Bypass feature is disabled on UL Listed Installations.Restoring Zones9 = RESTORERestoring a zone puts it back on active duty in the system. When restored, the Bypassed indication will no longer be displayed onthe status line and the zone will be checked for alarms.To restore a zone, from the top-level display, press 2 on the console keypad, then 9 for restore.Enter the zone number followed by the ' # ' key, or use the arrow keys to select the zone. Press ' 0 ' as the first key to restore allzones. The 0 = ALL choice is removed once a digit key or the down arrow is pressed. After the zone or all zones is entered, youwill be prompted to enter your code. The console will beep and the display will return to the top-level display.#=GOTOTo Bypass or Restore a zone in another area, you must first "go to" that area by selecting #=GOTO.AREA:ENTER AREA:At this point you may enter the area number followed by the ' # ' key, or use the down arrow key to scroll to the next area - SeeArea Arming for additional information.
