Clifford ACE 2000 Automobile Alarm User Manual


 
Smart prior intrusion attempt alert
If you hear three chirps when you disarm, it means that a trigger or sensor was activated in your absence. When you turn on the ignition, the LED will flash 1-8
times, pause, then repeat the flash cycle 4 more times. Count the flashes in one cycle and refer to the chart on the previous page.
Multiple-event TotalRecall™
The system’s memory records the identity of the last eight activated or malfunctioning triggers and sensors, which allows your installer to instantly track down
malfunctions. To identify the triggers and sensors held in the system’s memory, use the following procedure:
1. Remotely arm and disarm while pressing the blank button on the PlainView 2 switch.
2. The LED will flash 1-10 times to indicate the most recently activated point, pause, flash 1-10 times to indicate the second most recently activated
point, and so on.
3. Write down the number of flashes between pauses and refer to the chart above.
With the optional CliffNet Wizard, you’ll see this chronological report right on screen.
SmartPowerUp™ 2
If power is removed, SmartPowerUp 2 ensures the system automatically restores itself to its previous state when power is restored. So if a thief disconnects
the power and then restores it in an attempt to start the car, the system will re-arm and instantly sound the siren while continuing to immobilize the
starter. If your vehicle is to be serviced by a mechanic, just put the system in valet mode. If the mechanic needs to interrupt power, your system will
automatically return to its valet mode state when power is restored; there will be no alarm activation.
Optional CliffNet Wizard™ & DataPort Interface Connector
If you opted to have the Clifford DataPort interface connector installed with your system, you can use our CliffNet Wizard software to access your system
through your Windows PC. CliffNet Wizard will show you, on your PC screen, all your user-programmable feature settings. You can change settings
simply by mouse-clicking the graphical button for each feature. You can customize features, add or delete remote controls, change remote control button
assignments, view a chronological history of trigger and sensor activations, and much more. It’s actually fun! And secure. To learn more and download
this free software, go to www.clifford.com/wizard.
User-selectable features
You may set many of the features to your own preferences. Once you’ve changed a few settings, you’ll find that programming the system is so easy that
you can even do it while driving. The system comes with all of its features preprogrammed as noted by the bold type in the Table of user-selectable features. To
change any of the settings, use the steps noted below. To restore the feature to its factory setting, just repeat the procedure.
NOTE: For greater programming ease and even more system control, consider the CliffNet Wizard Windows PC

How to change a user-selectable feature:
Briefly, here’s how it will work:
You will pick a feature from the following Table of User-Selectable Features, noting the feature’s column and row numbers.
You’ll enter program mode by entering your valet code and pressing the button of the dash- or console-mounted PlainView 2
switch until you hear a chirp.
Press the blank PlainView 2 switch button the same number of times as the column number, then the button a number of
times equal to the row number.
Step-by-step programming instructions
1. Refer to the Table of user-selectable features and make note of the column (across) number and the row (down) number of the feature(s) you wish to
program.
2. Turn the ignition on, or start the engine (skip this step if the engine is running).
3. Enter your valet code, then press and hold the button of the PlainView 2 switch for about 4 seconds until you hear a siren chirp.
4. Select the feature column: Press and release the blank button of the PlainView 2 switch the same number of times as the column number you wish.
Pause. You will hear the same number of chirps as the column number, audibly confirming your selection.
5. Select the feature row: Press and release the button the same number of times as the row number. You’ll will hear a chirp each time you press to help
you count.
NOTE: You have 5 seconds to enter the rownumber after selecting the column number. If you wait too long, the system
jumps back to the “Feature Select” position (this is indicated with 3 chirps). If you wait another 60 seconds, the system
will exit program mode.
6. Pause. You will hear either one or two chirps: Two chirps = ON, one chirp = OFF (If there is a
NOTE
for the selected feature, perform the actions
noted).
NOTE: Some features, such as AutoStart (column 2, row 4) used with the optional IntelliStart 4 accessory, have
multiple settings. Simply reselect the feature additional times to progress through each possible setting.
7. You may now select another feature or exit program mode:
