Glossary of terms Control Unit: The "brain" of your system. Usually hidden under the dash area of the vehicle. It houses the microprocessor which monitors your vehicle and controls all of the system's functions. Control center: The control center contains the system's radio frequency antenna, the valet and override switch, and the status LED. For maximum remote control range, the control center is usually located at the top of the windshield, centered near the rear view mirror. Fail-Safe Starter Kill: An automatic switch controlled by the security system which prevents the vehicle's starter from cranking whenever the system is armed. The vehicle is never prevented from cranking when the system is disarmed, in Valet mode, or should the starter interrupt switch itself fail. Your system is ready for this feature, however installation may require additional labor. Input: A physical connection to the system. An input can be provided by a sensor, pinswitch or through an existing system in the vehicle, such as ignition or courtesy lights. LED: A blue display light used to indicate the status of your system, located on the control center. Shock Sensor: This is a sensor mounted in the vehicle that is designed to pick up impacts to the vehicle or glass. © 2008 Directed Electronics - All rights reserved. 31
