system maintenance The system requires no specific maintenance. Your transmitter is pow- ered by a miniature 3V lithium battery that will last approximately one year under normal use. When the battery weakens, operating range will be reduced and the system will provide a low battery warning chirp indi- cation when disarming.
transmitter functions This system uses computer-based code learning to learn the transmit- ter buttons. This makes it possible to assign any transmitter button to any system function. The transmitter initially comes programmed with standard configuration, but may also be customized using the CliffNet Wizard PC program.
using your system The buttons used in the instructions in this manual correspond to the standard transmitter configuration. If your transmitter has been custom configured, the icons on your transmitter buttons may not correspond to the indicated functions. arming You can activate, or arm, the system by pressing on your trans- mitter for one second.
not chirp. The early chirps provide you with a 25-second warning prior to arming. n n o o t t e e : : If any protected entry point (a door or a switch-protected trunk or hood) is open, the system will not passively arm. Additionally, each time a protected entry is triggered during the arming countdown, the 30-second countdown starts over.
disarming without a transmitter This feature allows you to disarm the system without the transmitter should it be lost, damaged, or disabled. In order to disarm without a transmitter, you must have the vehicle’s ignition key, know where the PlainView 2 Valet switch is located, and have the PIN code. Be sure to check with the installer for the location of the PlainView 2 Valet switch and instructions for entering the PIN code.
transmitter sensor disable To temporarily disable a sensor input, arm the system, press the simultaneously. The lights will flash four times and all warn away trigger zones three and eight are bypassed. Press the buttons again; the lights flash four times and both warn away and full trigger zones three and eight are bypassed until the system is disarmed.
auxiliary channel bypass Alarm sensor input zones three and eight will be bypassed while a pulsed or timed auxiliary Output is active. panic mode with smart door locking If you are threatened in or near your vehicle, you can attract attention by triggering the system with your transmitter! Just press two seconds to enter Panic Mode.
After the last digit continue to hold three seconds. The LED status indicator will light steadily if you are entering Valet Mode and will turn off if you are exiting Valet Mode. To exit Valet Mode: 1. Turn the ignition on. 2.
low battery warning When the transmitter battery is low, the system will generate five quick chirps when disarmed. n n o o t t e e : : The self-powered smart siren will generate a low-pitched tone. instant auto-arming bypass This will bypass the auto arm feature once only.
and proceed down to the eighth trigger. If fewer than eight triggers are stored in memory, the LED will blink continuous- ly until the system is armed/disarmed using the transmitter after recalling the final trigger.

Since this will only occur while the system is armed, there is no need for a siren override key. Unlike other back-up battery sirens that constantly drain the car battery, Clifford’s design draws charging current only when the ignition is on (i.e., engine running). If the internal battery is discharged, the arm/disarm chirps are muted.
diagnostics The microprocessor at the heart of your security system is constantly monitoring all of the switches and sensors that are connected to it. It detects any faulty switches and sensors and prevents them from dis- abling the entire system. The microprocessor will also record and report any triggers that occurred during your absence.

anti-code grabbing (ACG) This unit features Anti-Code Grabbing (ACG) with Random Code Encryption. This means the receiver and transmitters each use a math- ematical formula called an algorithm to change their code each time the transmitter is used. This technology has been developed to increase the security of the unit.
power saver mode Your system will automatically enter Power Saver Mode while armed or in Valet Mode, after a period of time in which no operation has been performed. This lowers the current draw on the vehicle's battery and prevents the system from draining the battery. Power Saver Mode takes over under the following conditions: Power Saver when the system is armed: After the system has been armed for 48 hours, the LED will flash at half its nor-...
programming options Programming options control what your system does during normal operation, and require few or no additional parts. However, some may require additional installation labor. Following is a list of the program settings, with the factory settings in bold: Active arming (only with the transmitter) or passive arming (automatic arming 30-seconds after the last door is closed).
False Alarm Control Technology (FACT ) on or off: Please refer to the FACT section of this guide for a complete explanation of how FACT operates. If FACT is pro- grammed off, the security system will respond to inputs from any sensor indefinitely.

auto unlock - ignition/off Ignition: The doors will automatically unlock as soon as the ignition is turned off. Off: The doors will not automatically unlock when the igni- tion is turned off. passive lock - on/off On: The doors will lock when the system passively arms. This feature only applies when passive arming is programmed on.

It houses the microprocessor which mon- itors your vehicle and controls all of the system's functions. Normally Open/Normally Closed Immobilizer : An automatic switch con- trolled by the security system which prevents the vehicle’s starter from cranking whenever the system is armed.

It is used to override the alarm when a trans- mitter is lost or damaged, or to enter or exit Valet mode. Warning Zone Response: Lighter impacts to the vehicle will generate the Warning Zone response.
security & convenience expansions Here we have listed only some of the many expansion options avail- able. Please contact your dealer for a complete list of all the options available to you. Backup Battery: The 520T keeps the system armed, triggers the alarm and keeps the starter interrupt active if main battery power is disconnected.
Directed Electronics recommends you return to your installing Clifford dealer to have your system checked for correct operation. The first check is due one year after the installation date and at yearly intervals thereafter. n n o o t t e e : : There may be a small charge incurred for this service.
