The only way to reset a bypassed zone is for 60 minutes or to turn on the ignition.

  • Page 21: Diagnostics

    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.

  • Page 22: Disarming Diagnostics

    disarming diagnostics Extra disarm chirps are the Tamper Alert. If three chirps are heard when disarming, the system was triggered in your absence. If three chirps are heard, the LED status indicator will indicate which zone was involved when you turn the ignition on (see the Table of Zones section). The sys- tem will retain this information in its memory.

  • Page 23: Table Of Zones

    table of zones The zone number is the number of LED flashes used by the system to identify a specific input. The standard input assignments are listed below, along with spaces to write in any optional sensors or switches you have had installed. If the Warning Zone response is triggered, the LED will not report it.
