NOTE: As many states have laws regulating security systems, programming NPC off may allow your system to
violate state laws.
Progressive door trigger on or off: When the system is armed and a door is
opened, the system responds with ten chirps prior to beginning the full
triggered sequence. If an instant trigger is desired, progressive door trigger
can be programmed off.
Standard or Ghost Switch
Only disarm mode: In standard disarm mode, the
Valet switch and the VRS
®
switch work in conjunction with the Ghost Switch
as disarm commands. To enhance security, Ghost Switch Only may be
selected. When selected, the Valet and VRS
®
buttons will no longer disarm
the system. The only way you can disarm your system (without a transmitter)
is using the Ghost Switch.
Siren tones and chirp volume: The output of the Revenger
®
Soft-Chirp
®
siren
consists of six different tones in sequence. Any of these tones can be eliminated
by your dealer, resulting in a unique, easily identifiable siren sound. The siren
chirps can be either full volume or 6 decibels quieter than the full alarm blast.
Installation Options
The system has many options that may require extra parts and labor. Some
of the possibilities are listed here.
Progressive unlocking: In most cars with electric power door locks, the system
can be configured so that when the system is disarmed, only the driver’s door
unlocks. A second press of the disarm button within 15 seconds of disarming
unlocks the other doors.
Delayed Accessory Output (DAO): The system provides an output whenever
the ignition is turned off. This output can be used to keep the radio or power
windows on when the ignition is turned off. Opening and closing a door
automatically turns the output off.
Vehicle Recovery System
®
(VRS): VRS is an anti-carjacking device
designed to help in the safe recovery of your vehicle should you be car-
jacked. Please refer to the Vehicle Recovery System section of this manual
below for a complete explanation of how the Vehicle Recovery System operates.
