feature descriptions

The features of the system are described below. Features that have additional settings that can be selected only

when programming with the PC interface or Bitwriter are indicated by the following icon: 

1-1 ACTIVE/PASSIVE ARMING:

When active arming is selected, the starter kill will arm (if connected) only when

the transmitter is used. When set to passive arming, the starter kill will arm (if connected) 30 seconds after the

ignition key is turned off.

1-2 CHIRPS ON/OFF:

This feature controls the chirps that confirm arming and disarming of the system. A siren

or horn must be connected to the H1/10 BROWN wire.

1-3 IGNITION CONTROLLED DOOR LOCKS ON/OFF:

When turned on, the doors will lock three seconds after the

ignition is turned on and unlock when the ignition is turned off. 

1-4 ACTIVE/PASSIVE LOCKING:

If passive arming is selected in Menu One, Feature 1-1, then the system can be

programmed to either lock the doors when passive arming occurs, or only lock the doors when the system is armed

with a transmitter. Active locking means the doors will not lock when the system passively arms. Passive locking

means that the doors will lock whenever the system passively arms the starter kill (if connected).

1-5 DOOR LOCK PULSE DURATION: 

Some European vehicles, such as Mercedes-Benz and Audi, require longer lock

and unlock pulses to operate the vacuum pump. Programming the system to provide 3.5 second pulses will accom-

modate the door lock interface in these vehicles. The default setting is 0.8 second door lock pulses.

1-6 DOUBLE PULSE UNLOCK OFF/ON:

Some vehicles require two pulses on a single wire to unlock the doors.

When the double pulse unlock feature is turned on, the BLUE H2/C wire will supply two negative pulses instead

of a single pulse. At the same time, the GREEN H2/A wire will supply two positive pulses instead of a single pulse.

This makes it possible to directly interface with double pulse vehicles without any extra parts.

1-7 CHANNEL TWO OUTPUT:

In the 

delayed validity 

default setting the Channel 2 output will output a negative (-) signal after the

Channel 2 button is pressed for more than 1.5 seconds and will continue until the button is released. 

Selecting 

instant validity

will output a negative signal from the Channel 2 output immediately when the

Channel 2 button is pressed and will continue until the button is released. 

The 

latched 

output selection will output a negative signal as soon as the Channel 2 button is pressed and

will continue until the button is pressed again. 

The 

latched/reset with ignition 

output selection operates just like the latched output but will reset or stop

when the ignition is turned on.
