NOTE: Arming and disarming the system does not reset this function!
The only ways to reset a bypassed zone are for it to remain untriggered
for 60 minutes, or to turn on the ignition. If testing your system, it is
important to remember that the NPC programming can cause zones to
be bypassed and seem to stop working. If five chirps are heard when
disarming, NPC has been engaged. If you wish to clear the NPC memo-
ry, turn the ignition on.
Diagnostics
The microprocessor at the heart of your system is constantly mon-
itoring all of the switches and sensors connected to it. It detects
any faulty switches and sensors and prevents them from disabling
the entire system. The microprocessor will also record and report
any triggers that occurred during your absence.
If the system is armed with an input active (door open, sensor
triggering, etc.) the unit will chirp once when arming and then
one more time a few seconds later. This is called Bypass Notification.
NOTE: Bypass notification will not occur when using Silent Mode or if
chirps have been programmed OFF.
The system will ignore the input that was active when it was
armed until it goes away. Three seconds later it will monitor that
input normally. For example, if your car has interior light exit
delay, and you arm the system before the interior light goes out,
you may get Bypass Notification. Once the light goes out, howev-
er, the doors are monitored normally.
