Glossary of Terms

2-Way Remote: A hand-held, remote control which operates the

various functions of your system and receives feedback and pages from

the alarm system.

Control Center: The control center contains the system’s radio-fre-

quency antenna, the valet and override switch, and the Status LED.

For maximum remote-control range, the Control Center is usually lo-

cated at the top of the windshield, centered near the rear-view mirror.

Control Module: 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 (if equipped): An automatic switch controlled by

the security 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 feature, how-

ever installation of this feature may require additional labor.

Input: Any physical connection to the security system. An input can

be provided through a sensor, pin-switch or by existing systems in the

vehicle, such as ignition or courtesy lights.

In-vehicle status LED: A light used to indicate the status of your

system. It is located on your systems control center.

Shock Sensor: This system has a dual zone shock sensor. This

sensor is mounted in the vehicle and designed to pick up impacts

to the vehicle or glass.

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

system consists of the siren sounding and parking lights flashing

for the programmed duration.
