1-8 AUTOMATIC ENGINE DISABLE (AED) ON/OFF:
AED is
a full-time, passive starter disable that works independently of the security
system. When turned on, the orange, ground-when-armed output (H1/1) will
go active 30 seconds after the ignition is turned off. The LED will flash at half
its normal rate when the ignition is turned off to indicate that AED is active
and will interrupt the starter in 30 seconds. AED does not occur in Valet mode
and can be bypassed using the emergency override procedure. The transmitter
can also be used to disarm AED.
1-9 ARMED WHILE DRIVING/VEHICLE RECOVERY SYSTEM:
In the default setting (Armed While Driving), the system can be armed with
the ignition on. When armed, the ground-when-armed is not active and the
sensors are bypassed. The door triggers will remain active. If programmed to
the Vehicle Recovery System (VRS®) setting, VRS® will be activated.
1-10 CODE-HOPPING™ ON/OFF:
The system uses a mathematical
formula to change its code each time the transmitter and receiver communicate.
This makes the group of bits or “word” from the transmitter very long. The
longer the word is, the easier it is to block its transmission to the unit. Disabling
the Code-Hopping™ feature lets the receiver ignore the Code-Hopping™
part of the transmitted word. As a result, the unit may have better range with
Code-Hopping™ off.

2-1 SIREN/HORN HONK:
The system can be programmed to output
pulses instead of a continuous output when the system is triggered. This is
useful to honk the factory horn in applications where a siren is undesirable.
Remember that the unit is only capable of supplying 1 amp of current. A relay
will be required to interface with most factory horn systems.
2-2 SIREN DURATION 30/60 SECONDS:
It is possible to
program the unit to sound for 30 or 60 seconds during the triggered
sequence. Some states have laws regulating how long a security system can
sound. When using the 998T Bitwriter, the siren can be programmed to sound
for any length of time ranging from 1 to 180 seconds. Using the SELECT
button of the 998T Bitwriter will adjust the siren duration in one second incre-
ments.
