After the first 32 seconds a short bright red flash from the dashboard LED every
second indicates that the system is now fully armed and the Ultrasonic Sensors
are set to their pre-programmed maximum or their automatically reduced level
if some “background” movement was detected during the Threshold Time.
The detection system also employs a movement/time method where a certain amount
of movement in a given time is also required to cause a trigger.
This method of detection offers a high level of protection against false alarms
commonly associated with other systems employing inferior methods of detection.
Arming the Security System with Ultrasonic Sensors Deleted
It may sometimes be necessary to arm the security system with certain sensors deleted
- such as the Ultrasonics Sensors if you wish to leave people or animals inside the
secured vehicle, although sensible safety precautions should be exercised if
considering this action!
The Ultrasonic Sensors, and any other optional sensors that may have been added to
the Dual or Single Stage Accessory Sensor Sockets, can be deleted in a number of
combinations. This can be done in three ways:
1. Using the optional Keypad, before exiting the vehicle:
See Page 25 for details.
2. Using the optional Two Button Radio Key, from outside the vehicle after
arming the system:
See the Two Button Radio Key operating instructions for details.
3. Using the Radio Key and ignition, before exiting the vehicle:
•
With the vehicle’s ignition turned on, briefly press and release the Radio
Key button the necessary number of times to select the sensor
combination required, shown in the table on the following page.
•
The dashboard mounted LED will flash each time the Radio Key button
is pressed.
• Turn off the vehicle’s ignition.
•
Vacate the vehicle closing all doors, boot and bonnet.
•
Briefly press and release the Radio Key button, whilst standing near the
vehicle.
•
The security system will acknowledge arming with the necessary sensor
combination by flashing the vehicle’s hazard warning lights the
corresponding number of times, instead of the normal 3 second
illumination.
• The doors will lock if this facility is included with your security system.
In all cases the deleted sensors will be restored the next time you arm the security
system in the normal way.
