Smart AutoTesting™
In the rare event of a trigger or sensor malfunction, your Nova III will alert
you of the problem and will store the identity of the specific malfunctioning
point in its built-in, non-volatile memory. Here’s how it works: Arm the alarm
with the remote control. If the system detects a malfunctioning trigger, you
will immediately hear four chirps and see four parking light flashes instead
of the usual 2 chirps/2 flashes. If a sensor malfunction is detected, the
system will issue the usual 2 chirps and 2 flashes, then, 5 seconds later, it
will emit 4 chirps and 4 flashes.
NOTE: Since this is a warning indication, you will hear the 4-chirp signal
even if you are using the chirp muting feature.
Malfunction AutoBypass™
Once the Smart AutoTesting feature identifies a trigger or sensor malfunc-
tion and records it in its built-in, non-volatile memory, your Nova III will
instantly override the defect and arm all other points. Your vehicle will never
be without some measure of protection. You should, as soon as possible, take
your vehicle to your Authorized Clifford Dealer for servicing.
TotalRecall™ of Last Activated Trigger or Sensor
The Nova III’s non-volatile memory automatically stores the last trigger or
sensor activated, thereby providing an invaluable diagnostics means. To recall
the identity of the last activated trigger or sensor, use the following procedure:
1. Disarm your Nova III with button I on the remote control.
2. With the ignition OFF, flick the valet/programming switch.
3. Press button I until you hear 2 chirps, release, then press button I
again until you hear 1 chirp. The LED status indicator will blink 1 - 3
times, pause, then repeat the blink cycle four more times. Count the
number of blinks per cycle and refer to the table below:
LED Blinks
System Component that Malfunctioned
1 blink
Magnetic Resonance Sensor or optional sensor(s)
2 blinks
Door trigger
3 blinks
Hood or trunk trigger
Your Nova III will hold this information in its non-volatile memory indefinitely
or until there is a subsequent activation.
