vided by a sensor, pinswitch or by existing systems in the vehicle,

such as ignition or courtesy lights.

indicate the status of your system. It is also used to report trig-

gers and faults in the system or sensors.

™

DoubleGuard

shock sensor. This sensor is mounted in the vehicle

and designed to pick up impacts to the vehicle or glass.

Siren: Noise generating device usually installed in the engine

compartment of the vehicle. It is responsible for generating the

“chirps” you hear, as well as the six tones you hear while the alarm

is triggered.

Transmitter: Hand-held, remote control which operates the vari-

ous functions of your system.

Trigger or triggered sequence: This is what happens when the

alarm “goes off” or “trips.” The triggered sequence of your system

consists of 30 seconds of siren sounding and parking light flashing.

inside the vehicle. It is used to override the alarm when a trans-

mitter is lost or damaged, or to put it into Valet

unique. Each input to the system is connected to a particular

zone. Often two or more inputs may share the same zone.
