Diagnostics

The microprocessor at the heart of your system is constantly mon i tor ing
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 trig-
gers that occurred during your absence. Refer to the 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/
horn sound to indicate arming and a second siren/horn sound to indi-
cate Bypass Notification.
A Bypass Notification sound means that the security system ignores
the input that was active when the system was armed, until that input
ceases. For more information, please refer to the expanded version of
this manual online at www.automatecarsecurity.com

Disarming diagnostics

Extra sounds that are heard when disarming the system are the Tamper
Alert. If four sounds are heard when disarming the system, then the
security system was triggered in your absence. If five sounds are heard
when disarming the system, a zone was triggered so many times that
the Nuisance Protection Circuitry has bypassed that zone. For more
