User manual DEI AUTOMATE 415 Owners Guide

[. . . ] Model 415 Owner's Guide Limited Lifetime Consumer Warranty Directed Electronics, Inc. ("DEI®") promises to the original purchaser to repair or replace with a comparable reconditioned model any DEI unit (hereafter the "unit"), excluding without limitation the siren, the remote transmitters, the associated sensors and accessories, which proves to be defective in workmanship or material under reasonable use during the lifetime of the vehicle provided the following conditions are met: the unit was professionally installed and serviced by an authorized DEI dealer; the unit will be professionally reinstalled in the vehicle in which it was originally installed by an authorized DEI dealer; and the unit is returned to DEI, shipping prepaid with a legible copy of the bill of sale or other dated proof of purchase bearing the following information: consumer's name, telephone number and address; the authorized dealers name, telephone number and address; complete product description, including accessories; the year, make and model of the vehicle; vehicle license number and vehicle identification number. All components other than the unit, including without limitation the siren, the remote transmitters and the associated sensors and accessories, carry a one-year warranty from the date of purchase of the same. This warranty is non-transferable and is automatically void if: the original purchaser has not completed the warranty card and mailed it within ten (10) days of the date of purchase to the address listed on the card; the unit's date code or serial number is defaced, missing or altered; the unit has been modified or used in a manner contrary to its intended purpose; the unit has been damaged by accident, unreasonable use, neglect, improper service, installation or other causes not arising out of defects in materials or construction. [. . . ] Each time, the same sensor or switch is triggering the alarm. The three triggers are within 60 minutes of each other. Your system will interpret this pattern of triggers as false alarms. After the third trigger, your system ignores, or bypasses, that sensor or switch (along with any other sensors or switches sharing the same zone) for 60 minutes. 8 © 1999 Directed Electronics, Inc. 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 is continuously triggering will remain bypassed. Doors are covered differently: If the alarm is triggered by an open door for three full cycles (one-and-one-half minutes), the doors will be bypassed 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 this circuitry can cause zones to be bypassed and appear to stop working. If five chirps are heard when disarming, false alarm protection has engaged. If you wish to clear the memory, turn the ignition key on. Diagnostics The microprocessor at the heart of your system is constantly monitoring all of the switches and sensors 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. © 1999 Directed Electronics, Inc. 9 Arming Diagnostics If the system is armed with an input active (door open, sensor triggering, etc. ) the unit will chirp once when arming and then one more time a few seconds later. This is called bypass notification. Note: Bypass notification will not occur if chirps have been programmed OFF. The system will ignore the input that was active when it was armed until it goes away. Three seconds later it will monitor that input normally. For example, if your car has interior light exit delay, and you arm the system before the interior light goes out, you may get bypass notification. Once the light goes out, however, the doors are monitored normally. Disarming Diagnostics Extra disarm chirps are the tamper alert. If four chirps are heard when disarming, the system was triggered in your absence. If five chirps are heard, a zone was triggered so many times that false alarm prevention circuitry has bypassed that zone. In either case, the status LED will indicate which zone was involved (see Table of Zones section). The system will retain this information in its memory, and chirp four or five times each time it is disarmed, until the next time the ignition key is turned on. 10 © 1999 Directed Electronics, Inc. Table of Zones The zone number is the number of LED flashes used by the system to identify that input. The standard input assignments are listed below, along with spaces to write in any optional sensors or switches you have had installed. ZONE (Number LED Flashes) DESCRIPTION Instant trigger - often used for hood/trunk pin switches Instant trigger - a heavier impact detected by the shock sensor Door switch trigger Optional sensor Ignition trigger DEALER-INSTALLED OPTIONS 1 2 3 4 5 If the Warn Away response is triggered, the LED will not report it. Rapid Resume Logic This DEI® system will store its current state to non-volatile memory. [. . . ] It is also used to report triggers and faults in the system or sensors. 14 © 1999 Directed Electronics, Inc. Valet® Switch: A small push button switch mounted somewhere inside the vehicle. It is used to override the alarm when a transmitter is lost or damaged, or to put it into Valet® Mode. Zone: A zone is a separate input that the alarm can recognize as unique. Each input to the system is connected to a particular zone. [. . . ]
