Shock Sensor
: This is a sensor mounted in the vehicle that is
designed to pick up impacts to the vehicle or glass.
Siren
: Noise generating device usually installed in the engine
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
various functions of your system.
Trigger or Triggered Sequence
: This is what happens when the
alarm "goes off" or "trips". The triggered response of your system
consists of 30 seconds of siren sounding and parking light flashing.
Valet Switch
: A small push-button switch mounted somewhere
inside the vehicle. It is used to override the alarm when a trans-
mitter is lost or damaged, or to enter or exit Valet mode.
Warning Zone Response:
Lighter impacts to the vehicle will
generate the Warning Zone response. It consists of several
seconds of siren chirps and parking light flashes.
Zone
: A zone is a separate input that the alarm can recognize as
unique. Each input to the system is connected to a particular
zone. Two or more inputs often share the same zone.
