• Panic mode enabled/disabled with the ignition on: Some states have laws
against siren capability in a moving vehicle.
• Automatic Engine Disable (AED) on or off: The purpose of the feature is to
protect the vehicle from being stolen at all times, regardless of whether or
not the alarm is armed. If AED is programmed on, the starter of the vehicle
will be disabled 30 seconds after the ignition is turned off. Once the key is
turned off, the LED will flash slowly (one-half its normal armed rate) to indicate
the AED arming cycle. Thirty seconds later, the starter of the vehicle will be
disabled. To start the car, it will be necessary to arm the car with the remote
and then disarm it with the remote. It is also possible to disarm the AED feature
by turning the ignition key to the “run” position and pressing the Valet
®
button
once. AED is disabled when the system is in Valet
®
mode.
NOTE: This feature will only function if the FailSafe
®
Starter Kill relay has been installed.
• Forced passive arming on or off: If your system is programmed for passive
arming and the forced passive arming feature has been programmed on, the
system will passively arm after one hour, even if a protected entry has been
left open. This feature is useful if a door has accidentally been left ajar when
leaving the vehicle. Forced passive arming ensures that the system will be
armed in every situation.
NOTE: When the system passively arms after one hour, the entry point that has been left open, and anything
connected to the same zone, is bypassed and cannot trigger the system. However, the remaining inputs to the
system are fully operational.
• Full trigger response 30 or 60 seconds: This determines how long the full
triggered sequence lasts. Some states have laws regulating how long a
security system can sound before it is considered a nuisance. If your installer
is programming the system with a personal computer and the TechSoft
Programmer, the full triggered response can be programmed for any duration
from 1 to 180 seconds.
• Nuisance Prevention Circuitry
®
on or off: Please refer to the NPC section of this
manual for a complete explanation of how NPC operates. If NPC is programmed
off, the security system will respond to inputs from any sensor indefinitely.
