This chart explains the procedure for bypassing a faulted zone prior to arming the system.
There may be occasions when it is desirable or necessary to temporarily bypass one or more zones prior to arming the system.
Bypass commands only work when the control panel is disarmed. For instance, an open window may cause the DS7447/
DS7447E display to read “Not Ready” followed by the zone number. The DS7445/DS7445i may have one of its zone 1-16 LEDs
on steady.
If more than one zone requires bypassing, simply enter the additional zone numbers.
Note: See Force Arming for another method of zone bypassing.
The zone number must be entered as a three digit number. Example: 001, 062, 125, etc.
Note:  All bypasses are cleared when the system is disarmed, unless they are 24-hour zones.
To clear a bypass on a 24-hour zone, use one of the two methods above.
If bypassing is performed from a Master keypad, you must be in Single Partition Mode.
