diagnostics The microprocessor at the heart of your system is constantly mon­i­ tor­ing all of the switches and sensors connected to it. It is designed to detect any faulty switches and sensors and prevents them from disabling the entire system. The microprocessor will record and report any triggers that occurred during your absence. ➜ arming diagnostics Each time this system is armed it runs a diagnostic routine to test for active alarm inputs. If inputs are active when arming, it will bypass the input and report the bypass to the user as described under active arming in the using your system section. The status led will also flash the same number of times as the bypassed input as a visual indicator. When the input returns to the inactive state, the system will begin monitoring it for an alarm trigger input. This feature assures that the vehicle will always be armed and protected by the maximum available number of alarm inputs. ➜ disarming diagnostics If any alarm inputs were triggered while armed, it will be reported to the user during the disarming operation as described under Disarm after trigger in the using your system section. The status led will also flash the same number of times as the trig‑ gered input as a visual indicator. © 2006 directed electronics-all rights reserved 39
