Clifford Auto Security SuperNova Automobile Alarm User Manual


 
Automatic malfunction bypass
To provide the utmost protection even if a system component malfunctions, your
SuperNova will automatically bypass the faulty point and arm all other triggers and
sensors to provide the utmost possible protection until you can have the system serviced
by your local Authorized Clifford Dealer.
TotalRecall™
The system’s non-volatile memory records the identity of the last activated or
malfunctioning trigger or sensor, which allows your installer to instantly track down a
malfunction and save you substantial servicing costs. To identify the trigger or sensor
held in the system’s non-volatile memory, simply perform the following procedure:
1. With the ignition OFF, flick the PlainView valet switch to its latched side.
2. Press button 1 to “arm” the system, then again to “disarm.”
3. The LED will blink several times, pause, then repeat the blink cycle 4 times.
4. Count the number of blinks in one cycle and refer to the chart that follows:
Number of LED blinks per cycle Trigger/Sensor that Last Activated or Malfunctioned
1 blink
Glass Tampering or Magnetic Resonance sensor
2 blinks
Door trigger
3 blinks
Trunk or hood trigger
FACT™— False Alarm Control and Test
With FACT, you’ll never experience repeated false alarms. If your 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 11–12.)
Smart prior intrusion attempt alert
When you remotely disarm, if you hear 3 chirps instead of the usual one chirp it means
that a trigger or sensor was activated in your absence. When you enter the vehicle and
turn on the ignition, the LED will blink several times, pause, then repeat the blink cycle
4 more times. Count the number of blinks in one cycle and refer to the chart below:
Number of LED blinks per cycle Trigger/Sensor Activated
1 blink
Glass Tampering or Magnetic Resonance sensor
2 blinks
Door trigger
3 blinks
Trunk or hood trigger
Automatic starter interrupt
Your SuperNova automatically prevents engine starting while the system is armed.
