diagnostics
The microprocessor at the heart of your security system is constantly
monitoring all of the switches and sensors that are connected to it. It
detects any faulty switches and sensors and prevents them from dis-
abling the entire system. The microprocessor will also record and report
any triggers that occurred during your absence. Refer to the System
Status Chirps and Table of Zones charts for diagnostic information.
arming diagnostics
If the system is armed while an input is active (door open, sensor trigger-
ing, etc.) the unit will chirp once when arming and then one more time a
few seconds later. This is notification that the zone is opened or bypassed.
The security system will ignore the input that was active when the sys-
tem was armed, until the input goes away. Three seconds later the sys-
tem will monitor that input normally. For example, if your vehicle has
interior light exit delay, and you arm the system before the interior light
goes out, you may hear open zone notification chirps. Once the light
shuts off, however, the doors are monitored normally.
disarming diagnostics
Extra disarm chirps are notification that the alarm was previously trig-
gered. If four chirps are heard when disarming, the system was trig-
gered in your absence. If five chirps are heard, a zone was triggered so
many times that false alarm prevention circuitry has bypassed that
zone. The status LED will indicate which zone was involved. (See Table
nnoottee:: The open zone notification will not occur when using
Silent Arm/Disarm or if chirps have been programmed OFF.
