This device complies with part 15 of FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following
two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This

Field Disturbance Sensor: An invisible dome of coverage is established by
the 508T “radar” sensor. Your system can react to any intrusions into this field
with the triggered sequence.
Backup Battery: The 520T keeps the system armed, triggers the alarm and
keeps the starter kill active if main battery power is disconnected.
Electronic Hood Lock: This prevents the vehicle’s hood from being opened
whenever the system is in alarm mode, keeping thieves away from the
system’s siren, the battery connections, or other components under the hood.
Audio Sensor: Metal on glass, glass cracking, or breaking glass produce
distinctive acoustic signatures. The 506T and audio sensor uses a microphone
to pick up sounds, and then analyze them with proprietary acoustic software to
determine if the glass has been struck.
Power Trunk Release: The channel 2 output of the system can operate a
factory power release for the vehicle’s trunk or hatch. (An optional relay may
be required.) If the factory release is not power activated, the DEI's 522T trunk
release solenoid can often be added.
Power Locks: This system offers lock outputs that can control some manufac-
turers' power door lock systems. For other systems, additional parts may be
required.
Valet
®
Start System: For the ultimate in convenience, the Valet
®
start system
can start your vehicle, monitor engine functions, and power your climate
control system with a push of a button! Over-rev protection, open-hood
lockout, brake pedal shutoff, and automatic timer shutoff are all included.
(Only for automatic transmission, fuel-injected gasoline vehicles).
Power Window Control: Automatic power window control is provided with the
529T or 530T systems. These can operate power windows, and can roll them
up automatically when the system is armed, down when you transmit channel
2 or 3, or both up and down. The 530T also provides one touch switch opera-
tion.
