FUNCTIONS LINKED WITH A VEHICLE
When the transceiver is installed in a vehicle, functions linking with a vehicle, such as Ignition Sense or Horn Alert, can be
used.
23.1 Turning the Transceiver ON or OFF by Linking with the
Ignition Sense Port State (Ignition Sense)
Ignition Sense can be used to automatically turn the transceiver ON or OFF linked with the status of the Ignition Sense port
of a vehicle. While the vehicle engine is running, the Ignition Sense port should be in the high state and when the vehicle
engine is not running, the Ignition Sense port should be in the low state.
Ignition Sense can be enabled or disabled using KPG-111D/ DN.
Note
To use Ignition Sense, the optional KCT-46 Ignition Sense cable and the Ignition Line of the vehicle must be connected.
Configuration using KPG-111D/ DN

Usage of the Ignition Sense Port
The method for turning the transceiver ON or OFF using the Ignition Sense port varies depending on the configuration for
Ignition Sense Type.
 Turning the transceiver ON or OFF according to the state of the Ignition Sense port
The transceiver can be turned ON or OFF according to the state of the Ignition Sense port if "Ignition Only" is
configured for Ignition Sense Type.
The transceiver is automatically turned ON when the Ignition Sense port goes high and is automatically turned OFF
when the port goes low. The transceiver cannot be turned ON or OFF by pressing the Power switch.
 Turning the transceiver ON or OFF using both the Ignition Sense port and power switch
The transceiver can be turned ON or OFF using both the Power switch and the Ignition Sense port if "Ignition and
Switch" is configured for Ignition Sense Type.
The transceiver can be turned OFF by pressing the Power switch even if the vehicle engine is running (the state of the
Ignition Sense port is High). However, the state of the Power switch is not retained.
Also, the transceiver is turned ON when the state of the Ignition Sense port switches from low to high.
Configuration using KPG-111D/ DN

The Amount of Time until the Transceiver Is Turned OFF (Timed Power-off)
Timed Power-off is the amount of time from when the vehicle stops running (the state of the Ignition Sense port is low) until
the transceiver is automatically turned OFF.
If the amount of time configured for Timed Power-off elapses after the vehicle's engine stops running, the transceiver is
automatically turned OFF. This function is convenient for continuing communications even if the vehicle engine is not
running.
