Qolsys IQ Panel 4 - Bypassing a Sensor

In this video, Dylan from Alarm Grid shows you how to manually bypass, as well as auto-bypass, a sensor on a Qolsys IQ Panel 4. By default, the auto-bypass option is enabled. This means that if you attempt to arm your system while a burglary zone is faulted, the system will automatically bypass the faulted zone and arm any unbypassed burglary zones. This will happen regardless of how you arm, locally at the panel, via a key fob, or remotely using Alarm.com

The auto-bypass option is enabled or disabled by pressing the gray tab at the top of the home screen, choosing Settings - Advanced Settings, entering the Installer or Dealer Code (1111 or 2222 respectively, by default), then going to Installation - Security and Arming. You can scroll down to find the Auto-bypass option, or you can type bypass in the search bar at the top of the screen to bring it up automatically. If you disable this option, you will not be able to arm remotely if any burglary zone is faulted at the panel at the time you want to arm. There is no option to manually bypass zones through Alarm.com.

To manually bypass one or more burglary zones from the panel touchscreen, go to the arming screen, click the right-pointing arrow, if necessary, then in the list of zones, select "All" rather than "Active". This will show you all zones, rather than just the active or faulted zones. Click on each zone you wish to bypass. The zone will show a checkmark to the left when it has been selected. Once all zones you wish to bypass have been selected, arm the system. Selected zones will be bypassed until the system is disarmed. Once disarming occurs, all bypassed zones will automatically be unbypassed.

Life safety zones such as smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors cannot be bypassed under any circumstances.
