FACT ignores, or bypasses, that sensor or switch (along with any other sensors or switches sharing the same zone) for 60 minutes. If the bypassed sensor tries to trigger the system while it is being bypassed, the 60-minute bypass period will start over. This ensures that a sensor that continually triggers will remain bypassed. Doors are covered by FACT differently: If the alarm is triggered by an open door for three full cycles, the doors will be bypassed until the trigger ceases. note: Arming and disarming the system does not reset this function! The only ways to reset a bypassed zone are for it to not trigger for 60 minutes, or to turn on the ignition. If testing your system, it is important to remember that the FACT programming can cause zones to be bypassed and appear to stop working. If five chirps are heard when disarming, FACT has been engaged. If you wish to clear the FACT memory, turn the ignition key on. FACT is programmable. See the Programming Options section of this guide. diagnostics The microprocessor at the heart of your security system is constantly monitoring all of the switches and sensors that are connected to it. It detects any faulty switches and sensors and prevents them from disabling the entire system. The micropro- © 2001 directed electronics, inc. 13
