note: sensor inputs that are triggered too many times will
be bypassed using a feature called NPC for Nuisance
Prevention.
➜
nuisance prevention circuitry
This diagnostic feature monitors the sensor inputs for excessive trig‑
gers and bypasses them automatically to avoid annoying repeated trig
‑
gers.
how it works
If any sensor input is triggered 3 times within a one hour period,
it will be bypassed for one hour. The input will still be moni
‑
tored, but the alarm will not sound if a trigger is detected..
If the input is triggered while bypassed, the one hour bypass
timer will start over. This will assure that a repeatedly triggered
input will remain bypassed until stable for at least one hour.
resetting the sensor input
A bypassed sensor input will reset automatically if not triggered
for one hour. To reset a bypassed sensor input manually the igni
‑
tion must be turned on, disarming and rearming the alarm will
not reset a bypassed input
➜
system status chirps
The siren will chirp when arming/disarming the system. The pattern
of chirps will audibly report the system’s status as described next.
