Alarm Features Normal Arm Protection Status LED: The Control Center Status LED flashes as a visual indicator that your vehicle’s security system is active. Failsafe Starter Disable: The Failsafe Starter Disable relay prevents the engine from starting. Note May require additional parts and installation. Sensor Triggers: The shock sensor can distinguish minor impacts from major impacts to the vehicle exterior.
Full Silent Arm Protection Sensor Warn Away, Sensor Full Trigger and Point of Entry activations will only send messages to the remote, with parking light flash and siren outputs defeated. Sensor Warn Away When the system sensors detect a Warn Away trigger the siren chirps and parking lights flash for three seconds. No messages are sent to the Responder LE remote control for Warn Away triggers.
Trigger Zone Fault Report When armed by remote command the system runs a status check of the alarm trigger zones. Faulty zones (usually caused by dome light delay or open trunk) are bypassed and reported via the control center LED and remote, while all other trigger zones remain active and are monitored to protect the vehicle. Should a faulty zone self correct (dome light turns off) it becomes active and is then monitored normally.
NPC (Nuisance Prevention Circuitry) NPC monitors all alarm zones and, if any are triggered excessively, bypasses them until corrected. If a point of entry (trunk, hood, door) is left open following a forced entry, it is bypassed. It becomes active again only after being closed. Bypassed sensors automatically reset after one hour and after the vehicle is driven. Disarming then re-arming the alarm does not reset bypassed sensors. © 2021 Directed. All rights reserved.
