Diagnostics
The microprocessor at the heart of your system is constantly monitor-
ing all of the switches and sensors connected to it. It is designed to
detect any faulty switches and sensors and prevent them from dis-
abling the entire system. The microprocessor will also record and report
any triggers that occurred during your absence.
Refer to System Status Chirps and Table of Zones sections of this guide
for diagnostic information.
Arming
If the security system is armed at the same time that an input is ac-
tive (such as a door opening or sensor triggering), you will hear one
siren chirp to indicate arming and a second siren chirp to indicate
Bypass Notification.
A Bypass Notification chirp means that the security system ignores
the input that was active when the system was armed, until that input
ceases. Three seconds after that input ceases, the security system will
resume normal monitoring.
For example, if your vehicle has an interior light exit delay and you
arm your security system before the interior light turns off, you may
hear a second Bypass Notification chirp.
Once the light turns off, however, the security system resumes normal
monitoring.
Note: Bypass Notification does not occur when the system is in
Silent Mode or if the notification chirps have been programmed
off by the installer.
