Automatic Last Door Arming: (Selected By The Blue Loop Wire Inside The Unit):
With The Blue Loop Wire In The Uncut Condition: Last Door Arming Automatically begins after
the ignition has been turned off and the last door is closed. But as long as the door remains open, the
alarm will not arm, "pausing", waiting for that last point of entry to be closed, allowing convenient,
unhurried passenger exit and trunk access. After the last door is closed, alarm will give one siren chirp,
one light flash, and the L.E.D. light will flash fast, confirming all points of entry are closed and the alarm
will arm automatically. A 30 second countdown begins. During this countdown, if a point of entry is
re-opened, the countdown will stop & reset. The countdown will start over again when the point of entry
is re-closed. When the 30 second countdown concludes the alarm will chirp the siren once, flash the
lights once, the doors will lock (if optional interface is installed), and the L.E.D. light will flash slow,
confirming that the alarm is fully armed. You can still arm the alarm instantly from the transmitter.
"Automatic Last Door Arming" offers a high level of security, since you do not have to remember to
turn the alarm system on each time you depart from your vehicle. In addition, automatic arming may
entitle you to an insurance discount.
Note About Arming By-Pass: Arming By-Pass does not work with last door arming feature. This by-
pass feature only works when arming from transmitter because all protected entries must be closed for
the automatic arming countdown to start.
Note: To prevent alarm from automatically arming while the vehicle is being re-fueled you should:
Put alarm in valet mode, keep your door open or turn on your dome light switch so that the alarm thinks
your door is still open. We don't recommend leaving your ignition key turned on.

Current Sensing: (Selected By Green Loop Wire Inside The Unit):
With The Green Loop Wire In The Uncut Condition:
When alarm is armed, current sensing can detect an electrical current spike from the vehicle's
battery. (Example: Dome light comes on when a door is opened or brake lights come on when you step
on the brake pedal). The instant the current spike is detected the alarm will trigger. Current sensing will
not trigger the alarm if a light or electrical device was on upon arming because this feature can only
detect the larger electrical current spike that occurs the instant an electrical device is turned on.
Note: You may need to turn off current sensing due to these problems:
1. Vehicles with door handle touch sensors that turn on dome lights, have a test circuit built in
that comes on 2 minutes after the doors are closed. The vehicle's test circuit sometimes has a
large enough current spike for the alarm current sensing feature to detect and will falsely trigger
the alarm. In this situation the doors need to be wired directly to this security system.
2. Vehicles with engine cooling fans which can come on after the engine is turned off. This will
falsely trigger the alarm from current sensing feature.
Current Sensing And Zone Testing From The L.E.D. Light:
The current sensing feature is activated for 1 second each time this circuit detects the current spike.
Zone Test Example: Turn on head lights and the L.E.D. will flash once and pause. The L.E.D. light will
only flash this one time because this feature can only detect the larger electrical current spike that occurs
the instant an electrical device is turned on. This feature will not detect an electrical device has stayed
"on" during arming.
