Diagnostics

The microprocessor at the heart of your system is constantly

monitoring 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

also record and report any triggers that occurred during your

absence. Refer to the System Status Chirps and Table of Zones

sections of this guide for diagnostic information.

Arming diagnostics

If the security system is armed at the same time that an input is

active (such as a door opening or sensor triggering), you will hear

one siren chirp to indicate arming and a second siren chirp to

indicate Bypass Notification. A Bypass Notification chirp means

that the security system ignores the input that was active when

the system was armed, until that input ceases. Three seconds after

that input ceases, the security system will resume normal moni-

toring. For example, if your vehicle has an interior light exit delay

and you arm your security system before the interior light turns

off, you may hear a second Bypass Notification chirp. Once the

light turns off, however, the security system resumes normal

monitoring.

Note: Bypass Notification does not occur when the sys-

tem is in Silent Mode or if the notification chirps have

been programmed off by the installer.
