Transmitter Functions This system is programmable, making it possible to assign any trans- mitter button to any specific receiver function. The remote initially comes programmed with Standard Configuration, but may also be customized by an authorized dealer. The buttons in all of the instruc- tions in this manual correspond to a Standard Configuration remote. Standard Configuration Button I The arm/disarm/panic functions are usually controlled by .

Using Your System The buttons described in all instructions in this manual correspond to a standard configuration transmitter, unless otherwise specified. Arming You can arm the security system by pressing for one second. When the system arms, you will hear a short siren sound (chirp) and the parking lights will flash once. Once armed, the status LED will flash once per second to indicate that the system is actively protecting your vehicle. If you hear a second chirp after arming and notice tha

Heavy impacts trip a trigger sequence, which consists of the siren sounding continuously and the parking lights flashing for 30 seconds. If a door is opened, the siren immediately starts chirping and the parking lights start flashing to provide an instant response. Three seconds later, the siren output changes to a continuous blast. This two-stage progressive response allows you time to disarm the security system with your remote transmitter, in case the door is inadvertently opened while t

To disarm the security system, turn the ignition key on and press and release the Valet DRW-35 switch within 15 seconds. The system should now disarm. If the system does not disarm, you may have waited too long to press the Valet switch; turn the ignition off and repeat the process. Panic Mode If you are threatened in or near your vehicle, you can press and hold for 1.5 seconds to trigger Panic Mode on your security system and attract attention. The siren will sound and the parking lights will f

Valet Mode Valet Mode prevents your security system from arming and trig- gering either automatically or with the remote transmitter. In Valet Mode, the system will not arm, but all convenience functions remain operational. This feature is useful when washing or servicing your vehicle. You can access Valet Mode either manually or from the remote transmitter. To enter or exit Valet Mode with the Valet switch: 1. Turn the ignition on. 2. Turn the ignition off. 3. Press and release the Valet

® Nuisance Prevention Circuitry ™ ™ Your security system has Nuisance Prevention Circuitry (NPC ) to prevent annoying false alarms. This circuitry is designed to prevent repetitive trigger sequences due to faulty door pinswitches or envi- ronmental conditions such as thunder, jackhammers, airport noise, etc. Here's how it works: If the alarm is triggered by the same sensor or switch three times within a 60 minute period, your system inter- prets this pattern of triggers as false alarms. After th

Diagnostics The microprocessor at the heart of your system has the ability to constantly monitor all of the switches and sensors connected to it. It can detect any faulty switches or sensors and prevent them from disabling the entire system. It can also record and report any triggers that occur when you are away from your vehicle. Arming Diagnostics If the system is armed at the same time that an input is active (door opening, sensor triggering, etc.), you will hear one chirp to indicate armin

was triggered in your absence. If you hear five chirps when you disarm, this indicates that a specific zone was triggered so many ™ times that the NPC has bypassed that zone. In both cases, the pattern of the flashing status LED indicates which zone was triggered (see Table of Zones). The LED does not, however, report when Warn Away Responses have activated; it only reports Triggered Sequences. The system retains this information in its memory and will continue to chirp four or five times each t

™ Code Hopping The receiver and transmitter use mathematical formulas called algorithms to change their codes each time the transmitter is used. This Code Hopping technology has been developed to increase the security of the unit. By following this set code sequence, the receiver and transmitter stay synchronized, even if the transmitter is used out of range of the vehicle. If, however, the transmitter is pressed many times out of range, or the battery is removed, the transmitter may get tempora

Programming Options Programming options control your system's normal, operational set-up. Most options do not require additional parts, but some may require installation labor. This system's programming options are listed below, with the factory default settings in bold: Active arming (only with the remote) or passive arming (auto- matic arming 30 seconds after the last vehicle door is closed). Arming and disarming confirmation siren chirps can be pro- grammed on or off. ™ Siren tones and

Audio Sensor: Metal on glass, glass cracking, and breaking glass each produce distinctive acoustic signatures. The 506T audio sensor uses a microphone to detect these sounds, and then analyzes them with proprietary acoustic software to determine if the glass has been tampered with or broken. Backup Battery: The 520T Backup Battery ensures that the system stays armed, triggers the alarm and keeps the optional starter kill active if main battery power is disconnected. Field Disturbance Sensor: An

Glossary of Terms Control Module: The "brain" of your security system. Usually hidden underneath the dash area of the vehicle. It houses the microprocessor that monitors your vehicle and controls all of the security system’s functions. ® Failsafe Starter Kill Relay: Located on-board the control module, this is an automatic switch controlled by the security system that prevents the vehicle's starter from cranking whenever the system is armed. The vehicle is never prevented from cranking when th

Trigger or Triggered Sequence: The "setting off" or "tripping" of the alarm. A Triggered Sequence consists of the siren sounding and the parking lights flashing for 30 seconds. Valet Switch: A small, push-button switch mounted inside the vehicle, at a location determined by the installer. This switch is used to override the alarm when a transmitter is lost or damaged, or can be used to put the system into Valet Mode. Warn Away Response: Light impacts to the vehicle generate the Warn Away Respons
