feature descriptions
The features of the system are described below. Features that have additional settings that can be selected only
when programming with the Bitwriter are indicated by the following icon:
1-1 ACTIVE/PASSIVE ARMING:
When active arming is selected, the system will only arm when the transmitter is
used. When set to passive, the system will arm automatically 30 seconds after the last door is closed. To alert
the consumer of passive arming, the siren will chirp 20 seconds after the door is closed. This provides the con-
sumer with an audible warning prior to the system actually arming. At the 30 second mark, the system will arm,
but the siren will not chirp.
1-2 CHIRPS ON/OFF:
This feature controls the chirps that confirm the arming and disarming of the system.
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. There are separate steps for ignition lock and
ignition unlock. They can be programmed on or off independently.
1-4 IGNITION CONTROLLED UNLOCK:
When turned ON the doors will unlock when the ignition is turned OFF.
1-5 ACTIVE/PASSIVE LOCKING:
If passive arming is selected in 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 via the
transmitter. Active locking means the system will not lock the doors when it passively arms. Passive locking means
that the system will lock the doors when it passively arms.
NOTE:
Remember, when passive arming is selected, the unit will chirp 20 seconds after the last door
is closed. The system does not actually arm or lock the doors until 30 seconds after the door has
been closed.
1-6 PANIC WITH IGNITION ON:
This feature controls whether or not the panic mode is available with the igni-
tion on. In some states, there are laws prohibiting a siren sounding in a moving vehicle. This feature makes the
system compliant with these regulations.
