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 disabling the entire system. The microprocessor will also record and report any triggers that occurred during your absence. arming diagnostics If the system is armed while an input is active (door open, sensor triggering, etc.) the unit will chirp twice when arming and then four more times five seconds later. This is called Bypass Notification. The security system will ignore the input that was active when the system was armed, until the input goes away. Three seconds later the system 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 Bypass Notification chirps. Once the light shuts off, however, the doors are monitored normally. disarming diagnostics Extra disarm chirps are the Tamper Alert. If three chirps are heard when disarming, the system was triggered in your absence. If three chirps are heard, the LED status indicator will indicate which zone was involved when you turn the ignition on (see the Table of Zones section). The system will retain this information in its memory. Refer to the Multiple Event Total Recall section of this guide. © 2004 directed electronics, inc. 15
