Input: Any physical connection to the security system. An input
can be provided through a sensor, pinswitch or by existing systems
in the vehicle, such as ignition or courtesy lights.
LED: A red light mounted inside the vehicle, at a location deter-
mined by the installer. The LED indicates the status of your system
and also reports triggers and faults in the system or sensors.
Siren: A noise generating device, usually installed in the engine
compartment of the vehicle. The siren generates the chirps and
tones heard when the system is triggered.
Transmitter: A hand-held, remote control that operates the vari-
ous functions of the security system.
Trigger or Triggered Sequence: The "setting off" or "tripping" of
the alarm. A triggered sequence consists of the siren sounding and
the parking lights flashing for 30 seconds.
Valet Switch: A small, push-button switch mounted inside the
vehicle, at a location determined by the installer. This switch is
used to override the alarm when a transmitter is lost or damaged,
or can be used to put the system into Valet Mode.
Zone: A zone is a separate input that the alarm recognizes as
unique. Each input to the system is connected to a particular zone.
Two or more inputs may share the same zone.
