vided by a sensor, pinswitch or by existing systems in the vehicle,
such as ignition or courtesy lights.

indicate the status of your system. It is also used to report trig-
gers and faults in the system or sensors.

™
DoubleGuard
®
shock sensor. This sensor is mounted in the vehicle
and designed to pick up impacts to the vehicle or glass.

compartment of the vehicle. It is responsible for generating the
“chirps” you hear, as well as the six tones you hear while the alarm
is triggered.
Transmitter: Hand-held, remote control which operates the vari-
ous functions of your system.
Trigger or triggered sequence: This is what happens when the
alarm “goes off” or “trips.” The triggered sequence of your system
consists of 30 seconds of siren sounding and parking light flashing.

inside the vehicle. It is used to override the alarm when a trans-
mitter is lost or damaged, or to put it into Valet

unique. Each input to the system is connected to a particular
zone. Often two or more inputs may share the same zone.
