1-8 FORCED PASSIVE ARMING ON/OFF: To use this feature, passive arming must be selected in Feature 1-1. When
turned on, forced passive arming will ensure that the system will passively arm, even if a zone is left open or
invalid. Forced passive arming occurs one hour after the ignition is turned off.
1-9 AUTOMATIC ENGINE DISABLE (AED) ON/OFF: AED is a full-time, passive engine disable that works
independently of the security system. When turned on, the three interrupt wires and the the ground-when-armed
wire will activate 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 engine in 30 seconds. AED can be dis-
armed by pressing the disarm button on the transmitter or by using the emergency override procedure (see Owner’s
Guide). AED does not occur in Valet
®
mode..
1-10 CODE-HOPPING
™
ON/OFF: The system uses a mathematical formula to change its code each time the trans-
mitter 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 HORN HONK CHIRPS ON/OFF: If programmed on, the horn will provide audible confirmation when arming
and disarming the system. If programmed off, no horn chirps will be heard when arming or disarming, so that
the horn honks will only sound when the system is triggering or in Panic Mode.
2-2 SIREN DURATION 25/50 SECONDS (or 1-180 seconds if programming with a Bitwriter or PC): The
unit can be programmed to sound the siren for 25 or 50 seconds during the triggered sequence. When pro-
gramming with the PC Programmer or Bitwriter
™
, the siren can be programmed to sound for any length of time
ranging from 1 to 180 seconds.
NOTE: Some regions have laws regulating how long a security system can sound. Be sure to check
for any such laws in your region when programming this feature.
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 regions have laws regulating how many times a security system can trigger before it is considered a nui-
sance and the vehicle is towed away.
