[. . . ] This feature is useful when washing or servicing your vehicle. You can access Valet Mode either manually or from the remote transmitter. To enter or exit Valet Mode with the Valet switch: 1. Press and release the Valet switch within 10 seconds. DRW-35 The LED system status indicator will light solidly if you are entering Valet Mode and will turn off if you are exiting Valet Mode. © 2001 Directed Electronics, Inc. 9 Remote-Controlled Valet You can also enter or exit Valet Mode by using the remote transmitter: 1. . The LED system status indicator will light solidly if you have entered Valet Mode and will turn off if you have exited Valet Mode. Nuisance Prevention® Circuitry Your security system has Nuisance Prevention CircuitryTM (NPCTM) to prevent annoying false alarms. This circuitry is designed to prevent repetitive trigger sequences due to faulty door pinswitches or environmental conditions such as thunder, jackhammers, airport noise, etc. Here's how it works: If the alarm is triggered by the same sensor or switch three times within a 60 minute period, your system interprets this pattern of triggers as false alarms. After the third trigger, the NPCTM ignores, or bypasses, that sensor or switch (along with any other sensors or switches sharing the same zone) for 60 minutes. If the bypassed sensor is triggered again while it is already being bypassed, the 60-minute bypass period will start over. This ensures that a sensor that is continually being triggered will remain bypassed. 10 © 2001 Directed Electronics, Inc. The vehicle doors are protected differently by NPCTM. If your security system is triggered by an open door for three, full 30-second cycles (one and one half minutes), the system will bypass the doors until the trigger ceases. NOTE: Arming and disarming the system does not reset the NPCTM. The only ways to reset a bypassed zone are for that zone not to be triggered for 60 minutes or to turn the ignition key on. When testing your system, it is important to remember that NPCTM can cause zones to be bypassed and appear to not work. If five chirps are heard when disarming the system, NPCTM has been engaged. To clear the NPCTM memory, simply turn the ignition key on. Diagnostics The microprocessor at the heart of your system has the ability to constantly monitor all of the switches and sensors connected to it. It can detect any faulty switches or sensors and prevent them from disabling the entire system. It can also record and report any triggers that occur when you are away from your vehicle. Arming Diagnostics If the system is armed at the same time that an input is active (door opening, sensor triggering, etc. ), you will hear one chirp to indicate arming and a second chirp a few seconds later to indicate Bypass Notification. A Bypass Notification chirp means that the system ignores the input that was active when the system was armed, until that input ceases. Three seconds after that input © 2001 Directed Electronics, Inc. 11 ceases, the system will resume normal monitoring. For example, if your vehicle has an interior light exit delay and you arm the system before the light turns off, you may hear a Bypass Notification chirp. [. . . ] Siren: A noise generating device, usually installed in the engine compartment of the vehicle. The siren generates the chirps and tones heard when the system is triggered. Transmitter: A hand-held, remote control that operates the various functions of the security system. Trigger or Triggered Sequence: The "setting off" or "tripping" of the alarm. [. . . ]
