Glossary of terms

Control Unit: The "brain" of your system. Usually hidden underneath the dash
area of the vehicle. The control unit houses the microprocessor which monitors
your vehicle and controls all system functions.
Input: A physical connection to the system. An input can be provided by a sen-
sor, pinswitch or by existing systems in the vehicle, such as ignition or courtesy
lights.
LED: A red light mounted at a discretionary location inside the vehicle. It is used
to indicate the status of your system.
Shock Sensor: This system has a dual zone shock sensor mounted in the vehicle.
It is designed to pick up impacts to the vehicle or glass.
Transmitter: A hand-held, remote control which operates the various functions
of your system.
Trigger or Triggered Sequence: When an alarm "goes off" or "trips." The trig-
gered sequence of your system consists of the siren sounding and parking lights
flashing for the programmed duration.
Valet button: A small push button mounted at a discretionary location inside
the vehicle. It is used to override the starter interrupt when a transmitter is lost or
damaged, or to enter or exit Valet Mode.
Warning Zone Response: Lighter impacts to the vehicle will generate the Warn-
ing Zone response. It consists of several seconds of siren chirps and parking
light flashes.
Zone: A zone is a separate input that the alarm can recognize as unique. Each
input to the system is connected to a particular zone. Often two or more inputs
may share the same zone.
