Interior Light Illumination: The interior domelight can be con-

figured to illuminate for 30 seconds after the alarm is disarmed. If

the system is rearmed during that 30-second period, the interior

light illumination will terminate until the alarm is disarmed once

again.

Glossary of Terms

Control Module: The "brain" of your security system. Usually hid-

den underneath the dash area of the vehicle. It houses the micro-

processor that monitors your vehicle and controls all of the secu-

rity system’s functions.

Fault-Proof Starter Interrupt: Located on-board the control mod-

ule, this is an automatic switch controlled by the security system

that prevents the vehicle's starter from cranking whenever the

security system is armed. The vehicle is never prevented from

cranking when the security system is disarmed, in Valet Mode, or if

the starter interrupt fails.

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

can be provided through a sensor, pinswitch or by existing systems

in the vehicle, such as ignition or courtesy lights.

LED: A red light mounted inside the vehicle, at a location deter-

mined by the installer. The LED indicates the status of your system

and also reports triggers and faults in the system or sensors.
