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 applica-
tions 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 TechSoft Programmer or Bitwriter, the siren can be
programmed to sound for any length of time ranging from 1 to 180 seconds. Use the right and left
arrows or the + and - keys on your keyboard to change the siren duration in 1 second intervals.
Holding down the key will rapidly increase or decrease the setting. The desired siren duration can
also be directly entered by using the number keys on your computer's keyboard. When using the
Bitwriter, pressing the SELECT button will adjust the siren duration.
2-3 FALSE ALARM CONTROL TECHNOLOGY (FACT) ON/OFF:
FACT stops repeated
triggering of the same zone. If one zone is triggered three times in one hour, that zone is bypassed
for one hour, starting from the time of the third trigger. During that hour, if the system detects a
trigger on that zone again, the system resets the one hour timer. If one hour passes and the zone has
not triggered again, the zone is activated and can trigger the system again. FACT monitors sensor
inputs and door triggers, but does not bypass the ignition trigger at any time. If FACT is turned off,
the system will respond to repeated triggers on the sensor inputs and will do so indefinitely. Some
states have laws regulating how many times a security system can trigger before it is considered a
nuisance and the vehicle is towed away.
2-4 PROGRESSIVE DOOR TRIGGER ON/OFF:
The security system responds to a door trigger
input with a progressive response. When the door is opened with the system armed, the siren will
chirp 10 times prior to the full triggered sequence. The door trigger is still treated as an instant
trigger and closing the door quickly will not prevent a full triggered sequence from occurring. If the
progressive door trigger is programmed off, the full siren output will occur the moment the door is
opened.
2-5 VALET PULSE COUNT 1 to 5 PULSES:
The security system can be programmed to count the
number presses of the valet switch before disarming the security system or VRS. The factory default
setting is one pulse. The unit can be set for 2 to 5 pulses using the two-chirp setting to select the
pulse count. G

Valet/Program can be connected to any switch in the vehicle that provides a positive (+) momentary
pulse.
