Written by Ivan Lara

Bypassed sensors offer no protection and cannot cause an alarm. Use bypass if you want to arm your system with one or more sensors open and intentionally unprotected.

Force Bypassing

  1. Ensure the desired sensors are open or activated.

  2. At the Home screen, tap Security.

  3. Press Arm.

  4. On the bottom of the screen, tap Bypass All.

  5. Enter your 4-digit user code.

  6. Arm the system to Arm Stay or Arm Away.

When a sensor is bypassed, it will stay on bypass for that arming sequence. After the system is disarmed, the bypassed sensors are automatically taken off bypass.


Manual Bypassing

This is done if the system is already armed and you want to bypass a sensor, or if you want to bypass a sensor that is not currently open or activated.
