that sensor or switch (along with any other sensors or switches
sharing the same zone) for 60 minutes.
If the bypassed sensor tries to trigger the system while it is being
bypassed, the 60-minute bypass period will start over. This ensures
that a sensor that continually triggers will remain bypassed.
The mercury tilt switch, the optional luggage carrier/saddlebag
protector, and the ignition switch (Zones 1, 3 and 5, see Table of
Zones section) are protected differently by NPC. If any one of
these zones is triggered for three, full 30-second cycles (one and
one half minutes), the system will bypass the zone until the
trigger ceases.
NOTE: Arming and disarming the system does not reset this function!
The only ways to reset a bypassed zone are for it to not trigger for 60
minutes, or to turn on the ignition. If testing your system, it is
important to remember that the NPC programming can cause zones to be
bypassed and appear to stop working. If five chirps are heard when dis-
arming, NPC has been engaged. If you wish to clear the NPC
™
memory, turn the ignition key on.
Diagnostics
The microprocessor at the heart of your system is constantly mon-
itoring all of the switches and sensors that are connected to it. It
detects any faulty switches and sensors and prevents them from
disabling the entire system. The microprocessor will also record
and report any triggers that occurred during your absence.
