Explanation Of Programmable Features

Ignition activated Anti-Carjacking protection - With this feature turned on: After turning the ignition switch "on" and starting the vehicle, you must press the valet switch within 60 seconds. If the valet switch is not pressed, the security system will begin chirping the siren 53 seconds after the ignition was turned "on". These chirps are to remind you that Anti-Carjacking is about to engage; Pressing the valet switch during the chirps will cancel the Anti-Carjacking feature. The chirps will last for 7 seconds, after which time the siren will sound continuously and the parking lights will begin flashing to attract attention to the vehicle. 30 seconds after the siren and parking lights engage, or if the ignition is turned off, the starter interrupt will engage. Once the Anti-Carjack is engaged, the only way to disengage it is to turn the ignition off then back on again, and then press the valet switch once within 5 seconds.

Door activated Anti-Carjacking protection - This feature operates the same as the Anti-Carjacking feature described above, except that opening and closing a door while the ignition is "on" will initiate the 60 second Anti-Carjacking cycle.

Last Door Arming - Feature Turned On: The security system will arm itself automatically when the vehicle's last door is closed. At the moment the last door is closed the siren will chirp the exterior lights will flash once, and the Status LED will flash fast. Thirty seconds later the siren will chirp once again, the lights will flash, and the Status LED will flash slowly, indicating that the security system is fully armed. If Doors lock with last door arming is selected, the doors will also lock at this time. If the instant trigger is grounded at any time during the thirty second countdown (Example: Opening the trunk), the Automatic Last Door Arming feature will be interrupted. When the instant trigger becomes ungrounded, the security system will become fully armed thirty seconds later. All of the doors and the trunk must have the proper connection of the control module's wiring. This feature allows unhurried passenger exit and trunk access, as the Last Door Arming process does not start until the last door or trunk is closed, and opening any door or the trunk will interrupt the process. You can still actively arm the security system with the transmitter at any time.

Doors Lock With Last Door Arming - Feature Turned On: When the security system passively arms from the Last Door Arming feature, the doors will also lock if an optional doorlock interface was added. This will occur when the system becomes fully armed 30 seconds after closing the last door. Last door arming must be on in order for this feature to operate.

Current Sensing - Feature Turned On: When the security system is armed, current sensing can detect a positive current draw from the vehicle's battery. (Example: The dome light comes on when a door is opened or the brake lights come on when the brake pedal is pressed). With this feature on, the security system will trigger if a current draw is detected.

Doors Lock At Ignition "On" - Feature Turned On: The security system will automatically lock the vehicle's doors one second after the ignition switch is turned "on". This feature adds considerable personal security to you and your family.

Unlock Output #1 At Ignition "Off" and Unlock Output #2 At Ignition "Off": - These Features will cause the security system to automatically unlock either the driver's door or all of the vehicle's doors instantly when the ignition switch is turned "off". Please note that the exact operating parameters of these Features depends upon the configuration of the security system and your vehicle's power doorlocks. This system may be configured to unlock only the driver's door upon disarming. Then if desired, pressing the large transmitter button again within 5 seconds will unlock all of the doors. These Features can operate one of two ways: First, if all of the doors unlock upon disarming, these Features will unlock all of the doors when the ignition is turned "off". Second, if your vehicle is configured to unlock the driver's door only upon disarming, these Features can be configured to unlock only the driver's door upon the ignition being turned "off". Please consult with the installer as to the feasibility of adding the driver's door only unlock configuration to your vehicle, as power door locking systems differ in compatibility to this feature.

Open Door Bypass For Ignition Activated Doorlocks Features - When the security system locks and unlocks the doors from the ignition activated doorlock features, if a door is open the doors will not automatically lock when the ignition switch turns "on", or automatically unlock when the ignition switch is turned "off".

Automatic Rearming - With the feature turned on: When the transmitter has disarmed the security system, the system will rearm and relock the doors 90 seconds later, unless a door is opened or the ignition is turned on. This feature prevents the system from being accidentally disarmed if a transmitter button is unknowingly pressed by an object while in a pocket or purse, or from children playing with the transmitter.

2nd Channel Output Disarms System - With the feature turned on: When the 2nd channel output is utilized, the security system will also disarm at the same time, chirping the siren twice, unlocking the doors and turning the exterior lights on for thirty or five seconds. The 2nd channel output, and this feature, can be used for remote trunk release operation.

.8 / 3 Second Doorlock Pulse - Feature Turned On: The doorlock outputs have a .8 second negative pulse to an optional doorlock interface to operate the vehicle's power door locking system. Feature Turned Off: The doorlock outputs have a 3 second negative pulse to an optional doorlock interface to operate the vehicle's vacuum door locking system.

Double Unlock Pulse - Some newer vehicles require a doorlock interface which provides a double doorlock output pulse to unlock all of the vehicle's doors. The doorlock output must be set for .8 second doorlock pulse time for this feature to operate. Feature Turned On: The unlock output provides two pulses. Feature Turned Off: The unlock output provides a single pulse.

3 / 45 Second Arming Delay - Feature Turned On: The security system will be become fully armed 3 seconds after the arming siren chirp confirmation. Feature Turned Off: The security system will be become fully armed 45 seconds after the arming siren chirp confirmation. Note: During the arming delay if any protected circuit should go into a triggered state, the system will arm, but that circuit will be unprotected until it reverts back to a non-triggered state.

Confirmation Chirp - Feature Turned On: The security system will chirp the siren for confirmation that the system armed and disarmed. Feature Turned Off: The security system will not have siren chirps for the arming and disarming confirmation. Turning this feature off will also eliminate the three chirps upon arming if the instant trigger circuit is grounded, and the four chirps upon disarming if the system was triggered and reset. However, the Prewarn Feature and the Programmable Features chirps will still operate. Regardless of this Feature, eliminating the siren chirp may be done on a onetime temporary basis as desired by pressing the small left transmitter button twice for arming or disarming. Even if this Feature is used to remove the confirmation chirps, the audible Unauthorized Transmitter Alert feature will still operate.

30 / 60 Second Activated Alarm Cycle - Feature Turned On: Upon activation, the siren will sound and the parking lights will flash for 60 seconds. Feature Turned Off: Upon activation, the siren will sound and the parking lights will flash for 30 seconds. Please note that the shorter 30 second activated time may be required in some localities to comply with noise nuisance ordinances.

Pulsed Horn / Steady Siren Output - Feature Turned On: This Feature allows the use of the vehicle's horn in place of the electronic siren for the audible output of the security system. When configured for use with a horn, this output pulses for 10 seconds, then pauses for 5 seconds, repeating this cycle for the duration of the activated alarm period. This prevents the horn from overheating, thereby ensuring a maximum useful life to the vehicle owner. Feature Turned Off: The output is a continuous, steady output which the electronic siren requires. The siren features six different siren tones, which change every 5 seconds.

Loud / Soft Pulsed Horn Chirps - Feature Turned On: 12 Millisecond Confirmation Honks. Feature Turned Off: 8 Millisecond Confirmation Honks. If your security system is configured to use the vehicle's horn, this Feature allows a degree of compensation for the variance which is found in the length of the pulse required to honk the horn in a satisfactory manner.

Total Closure Lock Output - Feature Turned On: 28 Second Doorlock Output. Feature Turned Off: .8 Second Doorlock Output. If the vehicle is so equipped, this Feature allows the installer to take advantage of a preexisting Total Closure System

Remote-Activated Anti-Carjacking Protection - Feature Turned On: Anti-Carjacking Protection Feature Activated By 3rd Channel Output. This Feature allows remote activation of the Anti-Carjacking Feature. If this Feature is turned ON, pressing the Small Left Button on the transmitter for 3 seconds will activate the Anti-Carjacking Feature, but only when the ignition switch is "on". Feature Turned Off: 3rd Channel Will Not Operate Anti-Carjacking.

One / Two Button Arming / Disarming - Feature Turned On: One Button Arming / Disarming. This Feature controls how the transmitter operates the security system. If this Feature is turned ON, the transmitter's Large Center Button will alternate arming and disarming the system with each press of the button. This type of operation is also described as a "single button toggle" for the arming and disarming of the system. Feature Turned Off: Two Button Arming / Disarming. Having this Feature set to the OFF setting causes the system to operate in a "dedicated button for arming and dedicated button for disarming" fashion. This Feature's "Two Button" setting may be used with the standard 3-button transmitter; when configured in this fashion the large center button arms the system, and the small right button disarms the system. Pressing the small right button operates trunk release; pressing the large center button and small right button together operates the 3rd channel output.

5 second / 3 minute Current Sensing Delay - An alarm's current sensing zone can be programmed to arm 5 seconds after the transmitter is used to arm the entire system or it can be programmed to arm 3 minutes after the transmitter is used to arm the entire system.

Doors Lock With Automatic Rearming - Feature Turned On: When the security system passively arms from the automatic rearming feature, the doors will also lock if an optional doorlock interface was added. This will occur when the system becomes fully armed 90 seconds after disarming the alarm. Automatic rearm must be on in order for this feature to operate.

Open Door Bypass Alert - Feature Turned On: If a door is open when the system is armed, the siren will chirp three times to alert you that it is going to bypass the door trigger zone.

Auxiliary Channel Disarms Alarm Or Is In Remote Car Start Mode - When the auxiliary channel is activated, it can be programmed to disarm the alarm at the same time. This is ideal for trunk release applications. The auxiliary channel can also be programmed for remote car start mode. This means that whenever the auxiliary channel is used, the alarm will ignore the sensor inputs during remote starting. If the alarm is triggered while in this state, the alarm will deactivate the remote car starter.

Automatic Sensor Zone Bypass - This feature configures the system to automatically bypass an optional sensor's protection zone if the sensor should be triggered five times during a single armed state. If the sensor is bypassed, it will be reinstated the next time the system is armed.

Starter Interrupt Operates In Valet Mode - This feature configures the system to engage the starter interrupt circuit when the remote transmitter is used to lock the doors while the system is in valet mode. When this is done, the transmitter must be used to unlock the doors or an Emergency Override must be performed to disengage the starter interrupt.

Selectable Coded Override - This feature allows you to program your valet override to respond to a specified number of presses instead of the default of 1. This means that you cannot disarm your system or program transmitters through the valet switch unless you know the specified code. Consult an owner's manual for more information on how to set this feature up.

Automatic Starter Interrupt - This feature, when turned on, will engage the starter interrupt 90 seconds after the ignition is turned off and 90 seconds after the system is disarmed.

Confirmation Chirps In Valet Mode - This feature, when turned on, will chirp the siren upon arm and disarm while in valet mode.

Lights On Upon Disarm - This feature, when turned on, will illuminate the exterior lights upon disarm for 30 seconds.
