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 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 or voice messages (if using the 516M voice module) 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. The TechSoft Programmer or the
998T
Bitwriter
™
will display separate steps for ignition lock and ignition unlock. They can be programmed on or off independently.
1-4 ACTIVE/PASSIVE LOCKING:
If passive arming is selected in step 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.
1-5 PANIC WITH IGNITION ON:
This step controls whether or not the Panic Mode is available with the ignition
on. In some states, there are laws prohibiting a siren from sounding in a moving vehicle. This feature makes the
system compliant with these regulations.
1-6 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
accommodate the door lock interface in these vehicles. The default setting is 0.8 second door lock pulses.
1-7 FORCED PASSIVE ARMING ON/OFF:
To use this feature, passive arming must be selected in step 1-1. When
turned on, forced passive arming will ensure that the system will passively arm, even if a zone is left open or
invalid. Forced passive arming occurs one hour after the ignition is turned off.
