Glossary of terms
Control Unit: The “brain” of your system. Usually hidden un-
der the dash area of the vehicle. It houses the microprocessor
which monitors your vehicle and controls all of the system’s
functions.
Control center: The control center contains the system’s radio fre-
quency antenna, the valet and override switch, and the status
LED. For maximum remote control range, the control center is usu-
ally located at the top of the windshield, centered near the rear
view mirror.
Fail-Safe Starter Kill: An automatic switch controlled by the se-
curity system which prevents the vehicle’s starter from cranking
whenever the system is armed. The vehicle is never prevented
from cranking when the system is disarmed, in Valet mode, or
should the starter interrupt switch itself fail. Your system is ready for
this feature, however installation may require additional labor.
Input: A physical connection to the system. An input can be pro-
vided by a sensor, pinswitch or through an existing system in the
vehicle, such as ignition or courtesy lights.
LED: A blue display light used to indicate the status of your system,
located on the control center.
Shock Sensor: This is a sensor mounted in the vehicle that is de-
signed to pick up impacts to the vehicle or glass.
