Force Arming and Bypassing Points Autuority Levet 3 Depending on the features available with your security system, you may be able to force arm and/or bypass faulted zones and points when arming your system. See the front of this guide for the maximum number of points that you may force arm and bypass. During any one of the previously described arming methods (full arm, partial arm, selective bypass arm), the system may detect faulted zones and/or points that cannot be armed in the usual manner. The system indicates the number of zones and points that are faulted on the top line of the display. The bottom line indicates the name of the first zone/point that is faulted.
You may force arm the faulted zone/point by pressing the “On/Off” key or bypass it by pressing the “Bypass” key. The system then displays the next faulted zone/ point (if any) to be force armed or bypassed. When you have completed force arming and/or bypassing the faulted zones/points, the system shall complete arming as normal. To get help on bypassing and force arming, press the “Display” key at any time after being prompted with the number of faulted zones/points. You can use the “Clear” key to abort the arming sequence. A bypassed point does not cause alarms during the armed period, and remains bypassed until the armed period ends with a disarm.
A force armed point does not cause alanms for as long as it remains force armed. It remains force armed until either the system is disarmed or the point retums to its normal condition. If the point retums to its normal condition, then the point becomes armed and may cause alarms. Force arming of points is not available on UL Listed installations.
