Bypassing Protection Zones (cont’d) 
Group Bypass 
Your system allows you to easily bypass a group of zones without having to 
enter zone numbers individually. The system provides up to 15 groups. There 
is no limit to the number of zones that may be assigned to any one group. 
Check with your installer for a list of zones assigned to the group(s). 
NOTES:  
All bypasses are removed when an OFF sequence (security code plus OFF) is 
performed. 
Users must be assigned the following attributes to perform the group bypass 
function: 
• Enabled for group bypassing 
• Access to the partition(s) containing the zones being bypassed 
• Global arming capability. 
To use the Group Bypass feature: 
  BYPASS 
1.  Enter your security code and press  6  then press   ✳  then enter the 
group number (01-15). 
2. BYPASS  007 FRONT 
UPSTAIRS BEDROOM 
Typical bypass message 
In a few moments, all the zones in the group 
will be displayed along with the word BYPASS. 
Wait for these zones to be displayed before 
arming. Arming the system before bypassed 
zones are displayed eliminates all bypasses. 
3. DISARMED BYPASS 
READY TO ARM 
Arm the system as usual when the keypad 
displays the ready to arm message. Bypassed 
zones are unprotected and will not cause an 
alarm when violated while your system is 
armed.

Bypassing Protection Zones (cont’d) 
Zones Remaining Bypassed After Disarming 
The system provides an option to allow all manually bypassed zones to remain 
bypassed upon disarming (security code + OFF) of the partition. This option must be 
programmed by your installer.  Check with your installer to see if this option has been 
enabled.    
NOTES: 
For each partition in which the option is enabled, the security code + OFF will no 
longer unbypass zones.  To unbypass ALL zones you must enter your security code + # 
+ 64.  To unbypass zones INDIVIDUALLY, you must enter your security code + 6 + 
zone number. 
Any zone that was automatically bypassed by the system will be unbypassed upon 
disarming the system (e.g. STAY mode, Auto-STAY, etc.).  
Vent zones and zones bypassed by a programmed Auto-Bypass schedule (Tme Driven 
Event) are considered “manual bypasses” and will not be unbypassed upon disarming 
the system. 
Zones that were in a bypassed state at the time a System Shutdown is sent from the 
Compass Downloading software will be unbypassed when the System Shutdown is 
removed.

Arming Perimeter Only 
(With Entry Delay ON) 
Using the   3  STAY key 
Use this key when you are staying home, but might expect someone to use 
the entrance door later. 
When armed in STAY mode, the system will sound an alarm if a protected 
door or window is opened, but you may otherwise move freely throughout the 
premises. Late arrivals can enter through the entrance door without causing 
an alarm, but they must disarm the system within the entry delay period or 
an alarm will occur.  
The system provides three STAY modes. STAY mode 1, 2, and 3. STAY 
modes 1 and 2, when activated automatically bypass specific zones assigned 
by your installer to each of the STAY modes. If there are only Stay 1 zones, 
entering Code+Stay[3] will automatically arm in Stay Mode 1; however if 
there is at least one zone assigned to Stay Mode 2, you MUST enter either 
Code+[3]+[1], Code+[3]+[2] or Code+[3]+[3], else the panel will not arm. If 
Code+[3] is entered Stay Mode 1 prevails (even if there are Stay Mode 2 
zones). Check with your installer for a list of the zones that are bypassed 
during each STAY mode. 
Close all perimeter windows and doors before arming (see 
CHECKING FOR OPEN ZONES section) 
  STAY 
1.  Enter your security code and press  3   +  1  for STAY Mode 1. 
  Enter your security code and press  3 
  +  2  for STAY Mode 2. 
  Enter your security code and press  3 
  +  3  for STAY Mode 3. 
2. ARMED ***STAY 1* 
ZONE BYPASSED 
The keypad beeps three times, displays the 
armed message, and indicates which STAY 
mode (1, 2 or 3). 
Note: ZONE BYPASSED in this display 
simply indicates that some zones of protection 
are not armed when using STAY mode.

Arming Perimeter Only 
(With Entry Delay ON) (cont’d) 
Auto-STAY Arming 
Auto-stay allows the system to automatically bypass certain zones if upon 
arming none of the entry/exit zones are faulted during the exit delay time (no 
one exits the premises). The system provides an option to set each burglary 
zone for Auto-stay. All zones enabled for auto-stay except for perimeter and 
day/night types of zones, have exit delay time when the partition is armed. 
Check with your installer for the zones assigned for Auto-STAY.  
NOTES: 
• Auto-STAY applies to all four arming modes (AWAY, STAY, INSTANT 
and MAXIMUM). 
• Arming the partition AWAY via an RF transmitter overrides the Auto-
stay feature (partition will not bypass zones programmed for auto-stay). 
 
 
  
						

							 
 
– 35 – 
Arming Perimeter Only 
(With Entry Delay OFF) 
Using the   7  INSTANT Key 
Important: If you are using a Graphic/Touch-Screen Keypad, NIGHT mode 
is the same as INSTANT. 
Use this key when you are staying home and do not expect anyone to use the 
entrance door. 
When armed in INSTANT mode, the system will sound an alarm if a 
protected door or window is opened, but you may otherwise move freely 
throughout the premises. The alarm will also sound immediately if anyone 
opens the entrance door. 
The system provides three INSTANT modes; INSTANT modes 1, 2 and 3. 
INSTANT modes 1 and 2, when activated, automatically bypass specific 
zones assigned by your installer to each of the INSTANT modes. INSTANT 
mode 3, when activated, automatically bypasses all zones assigned to 
INSTANT modes 1 AND 2. Check with your installer for a list of the zones 
that are bypassed during each INSTANT mode. 
Close all perimeter windows and doors before arming (see 
CHECKING FOR OPEN ZONES section) 
  INSTANT 
1.  Enter your security code and press  7   +  1  for INSTANT Mode 1. 
  Enter your security code and press  7 
  +  2  for INSTANT Mode 2. 
  Enter your security code and press  7 
  +  3  for INSTANT Mode 3. 
NOTE: If none of the zones in a partition are assigned to INSTANT mode 2, 
then when the user enters [User Code] + [7] (INSTANT), all zones assigned 
to INSTANT mode 1 are automatically bypassed. 
2. ARMED *INSTANT1 
ZONE BYPASSED 
The keypad beeps three times, displays the 
armed message and indicates which INSTANT 
mode (1, 2, or 3).  
Note: ZONE BYPASSED in this display 
simply indicates that some zones of protection 
are not armed when using INSTANT mode.

door or window is opened, or if any movement is detected inside the premises. 
You may leave through the entrance door during the exit delay period 
without causing an alarm. You may also reenter through the entrance door, 
but must disarm the system within the entry delay period or an alarm will 
occur.

such as vacations, etc., or when no one will be moving through protected 
interior areas. 
When armed in MAXIMUM mode, the system will sound an alarm if a 
protected door or window is opened, or if any movement is detected inside the 
premises. You may leave through the entrance door during the exit delay 
period without causing an alarm, but an alarm will be sounded as soon as 
someone reenters. 
Close all perimeter windows and doors before arming (see 
CHECKING FOR OPEN ZONES section). 
  MAXIMUM 
1.  Enter your security code and press  4  . 
2. ARMED *MAXIMUM*

Disarming and Silencing Alarms 
Using the   1  OFF Key 
The OFF key is used to disarm the system and to silence alarm and trouble 
sounds. See SUMMARY OF AUDIBLE NOTIFICATION section for 
information which will help you to distinguish between FIRE and 
BURGLARY alarm sounds. 
IMPORTANT: If you return and the main burglary sounder is on, DO NOT enter the 
premises, but call the police from a nearby safe location. If you return after an alarm has 
occurred and the main sounder has shut itself off, the keypad will beep rapidly upon 
entering, indicating that an alarm has occurred during your absence. LEAVE 
IMMEDIATELY and CONTACT THE POLICE from a nearby safe location.  
To disarm the system and silence burglary or fire alarms: 
  OFF 
1.  Enter your security code and press  1  . 
DISARMED READY TO ARM 
2.  The Ready message will be displayed (if no alarms have occurred while 
armed) and the keypad beeps once to confirm that the system is disarmed. 
IMPORTANT: 
It is not necessary to press the “OFF” key on the keypad to disarm 
the system when it is in entry delay or alarm. Entering a valid user code alone causes 
the system to disarm. All other times pressing the “OFF” key is needed. This is a SIA 
CP-01 requirement.
 
If an invalid code is entered to silence an alarm condition, the keypad stops beeping 
for 10-15 seconds. If a valid code is not entered during the 10-15 seconds, the keypad 
resumes beeping. 
Memory of Alarm 
The keypad displays the zone number and type of alarm for any zone that 
has an alarm condition. These messages will remain displayed until cleared 
by a user. If an alarm has occurred, note the zone number displayed on the 
keypad and repeat step 1 above to clear the Memory of Alarm and restore 
the Ready message display. If the Ready message does not display, go to the 
displayed zone and remedy the fault (close windows, etc.). If the fault cannot 
be remedied, notify the alarm agency. 
If the system was armed when the alarm occurred, repeat step 1 twice: once 
to disarm the system, a second time to clear the display.

Using the Keyswitch 
General 
Your system may be equipped with a keyswitch for use when arming and 
disarming a partition. A red and green light on the keyswitch plate indicate 
the status of your system as follows: 
 Green Light:  Lights when the system is disarmed and ready to be 
armed (no open zones). If the system is disarmed and the 
green light is off, it indicates the system is not ready (one or 
more zones are open). 
 Red Light:  Lights when system is armed or memory of alarm exists. 
 Lit Steady: Partition is armed in AWAY mode. 
 Slow Flashing: Partition is armed in STAY mode. 
 Rapid Flashing: Memory of alarm, indicating an alarm has occurred. 
Arming 
To arm in the AWAY mode, turn the key to the right for 1 second and 
release. Keypads will beep twice and the 
red light will stay on steady. 
To arm in the STAY mode, turn the 
key to the right and hold for longer than 
10 seconds, then release. Keypads will 
beep three times and the red light will 
flash slowly. 
Disarming 
To disarm the partition, turn the key 
to the right and release. If an alarm has 
occurred, the red light will be flashing 
rapidly (memory of alarm).
