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 syste m. The microprocessor will also record and report any triggers that occurred during your absence.
T ABLE OF ZONES The zone number is the number of LED flashes used by the system to identify that input. The standard input assignments are listed below, along wi th spaces to write in any optional sensors or switches you have had installed.
High frequency Your system transmits and receives at 434 MHz. This provides a cleaner spectrum with less interference and a more stable signal. Enjoy a phenomenal increase in range – even in areas with high radio interference. Owner recognition Using a hand-held programming tool, your dealer can program many of the system settings.
Programming Programming options control what your system do es during normal operation, and require few or no additional parts. However, some ma y require additional installation labour.
RUN position and pressing the Valet ® button the programmed number of times. AED is disabled when the system is in Valet ® Mode. NOTE : This feature will only function if the Failsafe ® Starter Kill relay has been installed. Full trigger response 30 or 60 seconds: This determines how long the full triggered sequence lasts.
V EHICLE RECOVERY SYSTEM (VRS ® ) The optional VRS ® feature is designed to ensure that any un authorized user of your vehicle (even if using your keys and remote co ntrol) will not be able to perm anently separate you from your vehicle.
Fifteen seconds after the siren chirps begin, the siren’s output will change to a continuous blast. From this point on, when the igni tion key is turned off, the VRS ® will immediately turn on the starter kill. This will prevent the vehicle from being restarted, thus immobilizing it at that spot.
Programming options See your dealer for further details on the opti ons listed below available with this system. Automatic Engine Disable : Prevents the vehicle from being started even if the vehicle is not armed after turning the ignition Off and exiting the vehicle.
Security & convenience expansions Here we have listed only some of the many ex pansion options available. Please contact your dealer for a complete explanation of all the options available to you. Audio Sensor : Metal on glass, glass cracking, and breaking glass each produce distinctive acoustic signatures.
Glossary of terms Automatic Engine Disable (AED) : This feature protect the vehicle from being stolen at all times, regardless of whether or not the alarm is armed. If AED is programmed on, the starter of the vehicle will be disabled 30 seconds af ter the ignition is turned off.
