Glossary of Terms
Control Unit: The “brain” of your system. Usually hidden under-
neath the dash area of the vehicle. It houses the microprocessor
which monitors your vehicle and controls all of the alarm's
functions.
FailSafe ® Starter Kill: An automatic switch controlled by the secu-
rity system which prevents the vehicle’s starter from cranking
whenever the system is armed. The vehicle is never prevented from
cranking when the system is disarmed, in Valet ® Mode, or should
the starter kill switch itself fail. Your system is ready for this fea-
ture, however installation may require additional labor.
Input: A physical connection to the system. An input can be pro-
vided by a sensor, pinswitch or by existing systems in the vehicle,
such as ignition or courtesy lights.
LED: Red light mounted somewhere in the vehicle. It is used to
indicate the status of your system. It is also used to report trig-
gers and faults in the system or sensors.
Shock Sensor: This system is packaged with a Stinger ™
DoubleGuard ® shock sensor. This sensor is mounted in the vehicle
and designed to pick up impacts to the vehicle or glass.
Transmitter: Hand-held, remote control which operates the vari-
ous functions of your system.
