Via keypad, what can you bypass while the system stays armed?

• A. Contacts
• B. Siren
• C. Motion sensors
• D. Control panel

Answer: (A)

Bypassing with the keypad means you can tell the panel to ignore a specific sensor while the rest of the system stays armed. The most common sensor to bypass is a contact (door or window). By bypassing that contact, you can open that door or window without triggering an alarm, while the other zones remain active. The siren isn’t bypassed—it's the component that sounds when an alarm occurs. Motion sensors can sometimes be bypassed, but the straightforward and most frequently described bypass while the system remains armed is a contact.
