false alarm prevention circuitry
Your system has false alarm prevention circuitry. It prevents annoying
repetitive trigger sequences due to faulty door pin switches or environ-
mental conditions such as thunder, jackhammers, airport noise, etc.
Example
If the alarm triggers three times within a 60-minute period and each
time the same sensor or switch triggers the alarm, false alarm preven-
tion circuitry will interpret those triggers as false alarms. After the third
trigger, false alarm prevention circuitry ignores, or bypasses, that sensor
or switch (along with any other sensors or switches sharing the same
zone) for 60 minutes.
If the bypassed sensor tries to trigger the security system while it is
being bypassed, the 60-minute bypass period will start over. This
ensures that a sensor that is continually being triggered will remain
bypassed.
The vehicle doors are protected by false alarm prevention circuitry dif-
ferently. If your security system is triggered by an open door for three
full cycles, the system will bypass the doors until the trigger ceases.
nnoottee:: Arming and disarming the system does not reset this
function! The only ways to reset a bypassed zone are for it
to not trigger for 60 minutes, or to turn on the ignition. If test-
ing your system, it is important to remember that the false
alarm prevention circuitry programming can cause zones to
be bypassed and appear to stop working. If five chirps are
heard when disarming, false alarm prevention circuitry has
been engaged. If you wish to clear the false alarm preven-
tion circuitry memory, turn the ignition on.
