To temporarily bypass zones on a Texecom Premier alarm system while arming, you'll use a specific sequence of button presses on the keypad. Here's how:
-
Enter your four-digit user code: This is typically a four-digit number that you use to arm and disarm the system (e.g., 1234).
-
Press the [OMIT] button: This button initiates the zone bypassing process. The button might also be labeled as [BYP] or something similar, depending on your specific Texecom Premier keypad.
-
Enter the zone number(s) you want to bypass: Each zone corresponds to a specific sensor or area. Enter the number of the zone you wish to exclude from the arming process.
-
Press [OMIT] again for each zone you wish to bypass: After entering each zone number, you must press the [OMIT] button again to confirm that zone for bypassing. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for all zones you want to bypass.
Important Considerations:
- Temporary Bypass: Bypassing a zone is only temporary. The zone will be active again the next time you arm the system unless you repeat the bypassing process.
- Understanding Zone Functionality: Make sure you understand why you are bypassing a particular zone. Repeatedly bypassing the same zone might indicate a fault that needs to be addressed.
- Security Implications: Bypassing a zone means that area is no longer protected. Only bypass zones when absolutely necessary.
- Troubleshooting: If you are frequently bypassing zones due to false alarms, it's best to have a security professional inspect the system for potential problems such as faulty sensors, low batteries, or incorrect settings.
- Keypad Variations: While the general procedure remains the same, button labels and display messages can vary slightly depending on the specific model of your Texecom Premier keypad. Consult your system's user manual for detailed instructions specific to your model.
