Glossary of terms
Control Module: The “brain” of your system. Usually hidden under-
neath the dash area of the vehicle. It houses the microprocessor which
monitors your vehicle and controls all of the alarm’s functions.
Failsafe
®
Starter Kill (if equipped): An automatic switch controlled by
the security system which prevents the vehicle’s starter from cranking
whenever the system is armed. The vehicle is never prevented from
cranking when the system is disarmed, in Valet
®
Mode, or should the
starter kill switch itself fail. Your system is ready for this feature, how-
ever installation of this feature may require additional labor.
Input: Any physical connection to the security system. An input can be
provided through a sensor, pinswitch or by existing systems in the vehi-
cle, such as ignition or courtesy lights.
LED: The LED indicates the status of your system. It is also used to
report triggers and faults in the system or sensors.
Valet
®
Switch: A small push-button switch mounted somewhere in
the vehicle. The switch is used to override the alarm when a transmit-
ter is lost or damaged, or to put it into Valet
®
Mode.
Warn Away
®
Response: The Warn Away
®
Response will work if a dual
zone microwave was installed and the sensor is capable of detecting it.
Zone: A zone is a separate input that the alarm can recognize as
unique. Each input to the system is connected to a particular zone.
Often, two or more inputs may share the same zone.
