Bypass Mode

Note:
The Bypass Mode function is available from firmware version v1.2.0. You can find out whether your Stove Guard supports this function by checking the product packaging and/or the firmware version on the Sensor Unit or the Control Unit.

Warning:
To prevent accidents, the user MUST ALWAYS be present near the stove during bypass mode!

Pressing the sensor button quickly three times (a triple-click) causes the Sensor Unit to enter temporary deactivation mode, also referred to as bypass mode. In this mode, the Sensor LED will blink purple every 5 seconds.

Note:
The bypass mode cannot be exited. If the mode is activated, the user will need to wait for 5 minutes for the mode to end.

In bypass mode:

  • The Sensor Unit allows special cooking and does not react to extreme heating.
  • The mode lasts for 5 minutes and cannot be exited before that.
  • Triple-clicking the sensor button again during this time resets the internal timer, starting a new 5-minute period.
  • The Sensor Unit exits bypass mode automatically once the timer expires.
Note:
During the bypass mode, pressing the sensor button in any other way than 'triple-clicking' will result in function test. The sensor will flash green light and the Control Unit will give out the OK signal.

The Sensor Unit provides advance warnings before exiting the bypass mode:

  • One beep at 30 seconds remaining.
  • Two beeps at 15 seconds remaining.

It is possible to extend the duration by triple-clicking again. To extend the duration, press the sensor button again quickly three times (a triple-click). The timer will reset back to 5 min.

Note:
After the bypass mode ends, the Sensor Unit resumes normal operation and will immediately respond to high temperatures. If cooking temperatures are still extreme, the Sensor Unit may trigger an alarm and cut power to the stove within seconds. It is recommended to take pre-emptive actions before the bypass mode ends.
