Burglary Protection
Sensor Status
The security system constantly monitors all of the sensors attached to the protected doors and
windows in your home or business. The Control Panel knows if each protected door or window
is open or closed. The open or closed condition of the protected doors and windows is called the
“sensor status”
.
For maximum security, all the doors and windows on the premises should be closed when leaving
the building. In some cases, such as when using the security system for protection when staying
at home, it may be desirable to leave some protected doors or windows open. The system uses
“bypasses”
to resolve the open door or window conditions. Before the system can be armed, all
protected doors and windows must be closed or bypassed.
Bypasses and their two types are
explained in detail on the next page.
Checking that All Sensors are Closed
In most cases, you will be arming the security system with all of the sensor-protected doors and
windows closed. The Control Panel provides several easy ways to verify that all the sensor-protected
doors and windows are closed before arming the system.

Viewing Each Sensor’s Status
The Control Panel will also show you which sensor-protected doors and windows are open. Your
installer has programmed descriptive names for each sensor-protected door and window. The Control
Panel’s color display will show the names of which door and windows are open.
