FACT™— False Alarm Control and Test
With FACT, you’ll never experience repeated false alarms. If your Medallion Siren goes
off, DO NOT remotely disarm the system while the siren sounds; allow it to run for the
full siren duration. Before sounding the siren a second time, the system automatically
checks for another activated trigger to verify that an intrusion is in progress. Should the
siren sound again,
you will know for sure
that someone is tampering with your vehicle.
(To disable FACT, see
User-selectable features
on pages 19–21.)
Smart AutoTesting™
Each time you remotely arm your Concept 50, it will perform a series of tests on all
triggers and sensors. If the hood or trunk is open when you arm the system, Concept 50
will immediately alert you of the problem by issuing 4 chirps and 4 parking light
flashes instead of the usual 2 and 2. If a door is ajar, you will receive the usual 2 chirps
and flashes, then, 5 seconds later, there will be 4 chirps and 4 flashes. (This door ajar
warning will not work on vehicles that have factory-delayed courtesy lights).
If one of the
sensors
is malfunctioning, you will receive the usual 2 chirps and 2 flashes,
then,
10 seconds later
, there will be 4 chirps and 4 flashes.
NOTE: Since this is a warning indication, you will hear the 4 chirps even if you
have the chirp muting feature turned on.
Specific malfunction identification: The system can also indicate the specific
trigger or sensor that is malfunctioning. This feature saves you time and money
since your installer won’t have to spend hours trying to determine where the
problem is. If you receive the 4-chirp/4-flash signal upon remote disarming,
perform the following to identify the malfunctioning trigger or sensor:
1. Remotely disarm, then turn on the ignition. The LED status indicator inside the
vehicle will be flashing, pause, then repeat.
2. Count the number of blinks in one cycle between pauses (for your convenience, the
blink cycle repeats a total of 5 times) and refer to the chart below:
Number of LED blinks between pauses Malfunction
1 blink
Magnetic Resonance Sensor
2 blinks
Glass tampering sensor
3 blinks
Door trigger
4 blinks
Trunk trigger
5 blinks
Hood trigger
6 blinks
Proximity Sensor or other optional sensor
Automatic malfunction bypass
To provide the utmost protection even if a system component malfunctions, your
Concept 50 will automatically bypass any faulty point and arm all
other
triggers and
sensors until you can have the system serviced by your local Authorized Dealer.
