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. 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 light mounted somewhere in the vehicle. It is used to indicate the status of your system. It is also used to report triggers and faults in the system or sensors. Shock Sensor: This is a sensor mounted in the vehicle that is designed to pick up impacts to the vehicle or glass. Siren: Noise generating device usually installed in the engine compartment of the vehicle. It is responsible for generating the "chirps" you hear, as well as the six tones you hear while the alarm is triggered. Remote control: Hand-held, remote control which operates the various functions of your system. © 2006 directed electronics 39
