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 the Code Hopping feature programmed off.
2-1 SIREN ONLY/VOICE MODULE AND SIREN:
In siren only mode, no data is sent to the three pin voice
module connector. Selecting voice module and siren will send the arm, disarm, and warning responses to
the voice module, but the full trigger response will still be routed to the siren. If Feature 2-1 is programmed for
voice, then the
TechSoft Programmer
or
Bitwriter
will display two voice menus. To view the menus, use the Page
Down key on your keyboard. The voice menus are used to select which voice messages are generated by the
516M
voice module. Each message can be programmed individually for Voice/Siren/Off. The first two messages (system
armed and system disarmed) are only programmable for Siren/Voice. They are turned on and off in Feature 1-2.
The voice menus are not unique for each transmitter. Once they are programmed, any transmitter that has Feature
2-1 programmed on, will follow the settings in the new voice menus. In other words, it is not possible for two
different transmitters to generate different voice messages. All voice transmitters will work exactly the same and
will follow the settings in the new voice menus.
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. Please note that 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 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 entered directly using the number keys of the computer keyboard.
2-3 NUISANCE PREVENTION CIRCUITRY (NPC) ON/OFF:
NPC 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.
NPC only monitors sensor inputs, and does not bypass the door trigger or the ignition trigger at any time. If NPC
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 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 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.
