Force Bypassing
When a protected door or window is open, the system
places the sensor on its Sensors Not Ready list . In order
to arm the system, one must either close the sensor or
place it on the system’s Bypassed Sensors list .
Bypassed Sensors are ones that are intentionally
left unprotected . This method of bypassing a sensor
is called Force Bypassing . To learn how to manually
bypass a sensor, see
pg . 54 .
Opening a Sensor When the System is
Disarmed
When a protected door or window is opened while the
system is disarmed, the 2GIG EDGE Panel responds as
follows:
»
The system status message on the
touchscreen reads System Not Ready to Arm .
»
The
Sensors Not Ready
list and
BYPASS
ALL
button appears .
»
The name of the protected zone appears on
the
Sensors Not Ready
list .
»
The number of open sensors appears in the
top-right corner of the list .
»
The system uses the voice descriptor
assigned to the sensor to announce that the
protected zone is open . If
Chime
is enabled,
