How to Bypass a Zone on a Honeywell Vista Alarm Panel
Today, we’ll look at how to bypass a zone with a Honeywell Security Alarm panel. This is applicable if you use your system at home or for your business or commercial security alarm system. There are many reasons you many wish to bypass a zone, which means that the system will disregard any alarms from that zone when armed. These include low batteries on devices, construction, or animals or pets. Here’s step-by-step instructions on how to bypass zones on your Honeywell Vista Security alarm panel:
How to Bypass a Zone on a Honeywell Vista Alarm Panel
- The System Must be disarmed prior to proceeding
- Enter four digit user code (same code to arm and disarm the alarm system), followed by the Bypass (6) key
- be bypassed (single digit zone numbers must be preceded by a 0 – example: 02, 03, etc.)
- The Keypad will momentarily display a Bypass message for each bypassed zone.
- When the system is armed a “ZONE BYPASSED” message shall be displayed.
This will allow you to arm a system with a faulty zone, or temporarily not have a particular zone send alarms, should it be required. Note: using this feature will leave those zones intentionally unprotected and your security company will not receive alarms from those zones until the bypass is removed. Fire Zones cannot be bypassed.
