  • Page 8: System Maintenance

    System Maintenance The system requires no specific maintenance. Your remote control is powered by a small, lightweight 3-volt lithium battery that will last approximately one year under normal use. When the battery weakens, operating range will be reduced and the LED on the remote will dim.

  • Page 9: Transmitter Functions

    Transmitter Functions The receiver uses a computer-based Learn Routine to learn the transmitter buttons. This makes it possible to assign any transmit- ter button to any receiver function. The transmitter initially comes programmed with Standard Configuration, but may also be customized by an authorized dealer.

    Pressing a fifth time within five seconds: The siren chirps five times followed by a long chirp. All input zones, except the ignition, are now bypassed. NOTE: Multi-Level Security Arming only applies to a single arming cycle. Once the system is disarmed and then re-armed, all the zones will be active again.

    If the bypassed sensor tries to trigger the system while it is being bypassed, the 60-minute bypass period will start over. This ensures that a sensor that continually triggers will remain bypassed. Doors are covered by NPC differently: If the alarm is triggered by an open door for three full cycles, the doors will be bypassed until the trigger ceases.

  • Page 19: Arming Diagnostics

    Arming Diagnostics If the system is armed while an input is active (door open, sensor triggering, etc.) the unit will chirp once when arming and then one more time a few seconds later. This is called Bypass Notification. NOTE: Bypass Notification will not occur when using Silent Mode chirps have been programmed OFF.

  • Page 21: Code-Hopping

    Code Hopping The receiver and transmitters each use mathematical formulas called algorithms to change their codes each time the transmitter is used. This technology has been developed to increase the secu- rity of the unit. The control unit knows what the next codes should be.
