Nuisance Prevention
Your security system has Nuisance Prevention Circuitry
prevent annoying false alarms. This circuitry is designed to prevent
repetitive trigger sequences due to faulty door pinswitches or envi-
ronmental conditions such as thunder, jackhammers, airport
noise, etc.
Here's how it works: If the alarm is triggered by the same sensor
or switch three times within a 60 minute period, your system
interprets this pattern of triggers as false alarms. After the third
trigger, NPC
™
ignores, or bypasses, that sensor or switch (along
with any other sensors or switches sharing the same zone) for 60
minutes. If the bypassed sensor is triggered again while it is
already being bypassed, the 60-minute bypass period will start over,
ensuring that a sensor that is continually being triggered will
remain bypassed.
The vehicle doors are protected differently by NPC
rity system is triggered by an open door for three, full 30-second
cycles (one and one half minutes), the system will bypass the
doors until the trigger ceases.
NOTE: Arming and disarming the system does not reset the NPC
only ways to reset a bypassed zone are for that zone not to be triggered
for 60 minutes or to turn the ignition key on. When testing your system,
it is important to remember that NPC™ can cause zones to be bypassed
and appear to not work. If five chirps are heard when disarming the sys-
tem, NPC™ has been engaged. To clear the NPC™ memory, simply turn the
ignition key on.
