Glossary of Terms Control Module: The "brain" of your security system. Usually hidden underneath the dash area of the vehicle. It houses the microprocessor that monitors your vehicle and controls all of the security system's functions. Fault-Proof Starter Interrupt: Located on-board the control module, this is an automatic switch controlled by the security system that prevents the starter from cranking whenever the system is armed. The vehicle is never prevented from cranking when the system is disarmed, in Valet® Mode, or if the starter interrupt fails. Impact Sensor: A dual-stage shock sensor, located on-board the control module, that detects impacts to the vehicle. Input: Any physical connection to the security system. An input can be provided through a sensor, pinswitch or by existing systems in the vehicle, such as ignition or courtesy lights. LED: A red light mounted inside the vehicle, at a location determined by the installer. The LED indicates the status of your system and also reports triggers and faults in the system or sensors. Siren: A noise generating device, usually installed in the engine compartment of the vehicle. The siren generates the chirps and tones heard when the system is triggered. Remote: A hand-held, transmitter control that operates the vari- ous functions of the security system. 18 © 2005 Directed Electronics, Inc. (Canada)
