Diagnostics
The microprocessor at the heart of your system is constantly monitoring
all of the switches and sensors connected to it. It is designed to detect
any faulty switches and sensors and prevent them from disabling the
entire system. The microprocessor will also record and report any trig-
gers that occurred during your absence.
Refer to System Status Chirps and Table of Zones sections of this guide
for diagnostic information.
Arming
If the security system is armed at the same time that an input is active
(such as a door opening or sensor triggering), you will hear one siren
chirp to indicate arming and a second siren chirp to indicate Bypass
Notification.
A Bypass Notification chirp means that the security system ignores
the input that was active when the system was armed, until that input
ceases. Three seconds after that input ceases, the security system will
resume normal monitoring.
For example
: if your vehicle has an interior light exit delay and you arm
your security system before the interior light turns off, you may hear a
second Bypass Notification chirp.
Once the light turns off, however, the security system resumes normal
monitoring.
Note:
Bypass Notification does not occur when the system is in Silent
Mode or if the notification chirps have been programmed off by the
installer.
