If the bypassed sensor tries to trigger the system while it is being bypassed,
the 60-minute bypass period will start over. This ensures that a sensor that
continuously triggers will remain bypassed.
Doors are covered by NPC differently: If the alarm is triggered by an open
door for three full cycles (one-and-one-half minutes), the doors will be
bypassed until the trigger ceases.
NOTE: Arming and disarming the system does not reset this function! The only ways to reset a bypassed zone
are for it to not trigger for 60 minutes, or to turn on the ignition. If testing your system, it is important to
remember that the NPC programming can cause zones to be bypassed and appear to stop working. If five chirps
are heard when disarming, NPC has been engaged. If you wish to clear the NPC memory, turn the ignition key on.
NPC is programmable. See “Programming Options” section of this guide.
Diagnostics
The microprocessor at the heart of your system is constantly monitoring all of
the switches and sensors connected to it. It detects any faulty switches and
sensors and prevents them from disabling the entire system. The micropro-
cessor will also record and report any triggers that occurred during your
absence.
Arming Diagnostics
If the system is armed with an input active (door open, sensor triggering, etc.)
the unit will chirp once when arming and then one more time a few seconds
later. This is called Bypass Notification.
Note: Bypass notification will not occur when using Silent Mode
™
or if chirps have been programmed OFF.
The system will ignore the input that was active when it was armed until it
goes away. Three seconds later it will monitor that input normally. For exam-
ple, if your car has interior light exit delay, and you arm the system before the
interior light goes out, you may get Bypass Notification. Once the light goes
out, however, the doors are monitored normally.
