Auto Stay Arm; Bypassing Sensors - GE Allegro User Manual

3. Press No Delay.
To arm directly to level 3 with no delay using the keychain touchpad:
1. Press Lock.
Changing the arming level restores delay doors to their normal exit and entry delay
times.

Auto stay arm

The auto stay arm feature helps cut down on false alarms. If you arm the system to
level 3, and do not leave the premises within the exit delay time:
• Auto stay arm feature enabled. The system can tell that no one opened and
closed a delay door within the delay time. It assumes that someone is still inside
and the panel arms to level 2 to avoid a false alarm. Your movement inside the
premises does not cause an alarm.
• Auto stay arm feature disabled. The system arms to level 3 regardless of whether
or not a delay door has been opened and closed. Your movement inside the
premises could activate a motion detector, causing an alarm.
Your dealer/installer can turn this feature on or off for you. See "System options" on
page 28 to see if this feature is currently enabled.
Note: If you arm to level 3 with the no delay feature enabled, the auto stay arming
feature is cancelled.

Bypassing sensors

It is possible to arm your system while leaving a door or window open. This is useful if,
for example, you like to sleep with a window open.
If the door or window is protected with a sensor, the system must be told to ignore or
bypass that sensor when it is open. All other sensors remain active.
When you bypass a sensor, you are allowing that sensor (usually a door or window) to
go unprotected. You cannot bypass heat, smoke, and carbon monoxide sensors or
the DTIM.
There are two methods for bypassing a sensor, direct and indirect.
Direct bypass. Use this method after arming the system, to bypass a door/window
sensor before you open them. You must know the sensor or number of the door or
window you wish to bypass (see "Sensor log" on page 29).
You can only direct bypass sensors from the panel touchpad and you must use the
primary access code.
