feature descriptions
1 ACTIVE/PASSIVE ARMING: When active arming is selected, the system will only arm when the transmitter is
used. When set to passive, the system will arm automatically 30 seconds after the last door is closed. To alert
the consumer of passive arming, the siren will chirp 20 seconds after the door is closed. This provides the con-
sumer with an audible warning prior to the system actually arming. At the 30 second mark, the system will arm
but the siren will not chirp.
2 AUDIBLE ARM/DISARM CONFIRMATION ON/OFF: This feature controls the chirps that confirm the arming and
disarming of the system. In the ON setting (default) the siren will provide audible confirmation when arming and
disarming the system. If programmed to the OFF position no siren chirps will be heard when arming and disarm-
ing.
3 IGNITION-CONTROLLED LOCKING ON/OFF: When turned on, the vehicle doors will lock three seconds after the
ignition is turned on.
4 IGNITION-CONTROLLED UNLOCKING ON/OFF: When turned on, the vehicle doors will unlock when the igni-
tion is turned off.
5 ACTIVE/PASSIVE LOCKING: If passive arming is selected in step 1, then the system can be programmed to
either lock the doors when passive arming occurs, or only lock the doors when the system is armed via the trans-
mitter. Active locking means the system will not lock the doors when it passively arms. Passive locking means
that the system will lock the doors when it passively arms.
NOTE: Remember, when passive arming is selected, the unit will chirp 20 seconds after the last door
is closed. The system does not actually arm or lock the doors until 30 seconds after the door has
been closed.
6 DOOR LOCK PULSE DURATION: Some vehicles require longer lock and unlock pulses to operate the door lock
vacuum pump. Programming the system to provide 3.5 second pulses, will accommodate the door lock interface
in these vehicles. The default setting is 0.8 second door lock pulses.
7 DOUBLE PULSE UNLOCK ON/OFF: Some vehicles require two pulses on a single wire to unlock the doors. When
the double pulse unlock feature is turned on, the unlock relay will provide two pulses instead of a single pulse.
8 DOOR TRIGGER ERROR CHIRP ON/OFF: With the door trigger error chirp programmed off, the system will not
report an invalid zone on arming when the door trigger wire is active. This eliminates the extra chirps that occur
when interfacing with vehicles that have exceptionally long dome light delay circuits.
9 IGNITION-CONTROLLED DOMELIGHT ON/OFF: If turned on, the system will turn on the domelight for 60
seconds when the ignition is turned off. The H1/4 BLACK/WHITE domelight supervision output must be connected
as described in the Primary Harness Wire Connection Guide section of this manual in order to control this feature.
