The features of the system are described below. If the system is being programmed with a DEI

Bitwriter

™

or 996T

and a personal computer the options available may change. PC programmable options are indicated by the follow-

ing icon:

Menu #1 - Basic Features

1-1 ACTIVE/PASSIVE ARMING:

When active arming is selected, the system will only arm when the transmitter is

used. When set to passive, the system will arm automatically 30 seconds after the last door is closed. To alert the

consumer of passive arming, the siren will chirp 20 seconds after the door is closed. This provides the consumer

with an audible warning prior to the system actually arming. At the 30 second mark, the system will arm but the

siren will not chirp.

1-2 CHIRPS ON/OFF:

This feature controls the chirps or voice messages (if using the 516M voice module) that

confirm the arming and disarming of the system.

1-3 IGNITION CONTROLLED DOOR LOCKS ON/OFF:

When turned on, the doors will lock three seconds

after the ignition is turned on and unlock when the ignition is turned off.The TechSoft Programmer or the 998T

Bitwriter

™

will display separate steps for ignition lock and ignition unlock. They can be programmed on or off inde-

pendently.

1-4 ACTIVE/PASSIVE LOCKING

: If passive arming is selected in step 1-1, then the system can be programmed

to either lock the doors when passive arming occurs, or only lock the doors when the system is armed via the trans-

mitter. Active locking means the system will not lock the doors when it passively arms. Passive locking means that

the system will lock the doors when it passively arms.

NOTE: Remember, when passive arming is selected, the unit will chirp 20 seconds after the last

door is closed. The system does not actually arm or lock the doors until 30 seconds after the door

has been closed.

1-5 PANIC WITH IGNITION ON:

This step controls whether or not the Panic Mode is available with the ignition on.

In some states, there are laws prohibiting a siren from sounding in a moving vehicle. This feature makes the

system compliant with these regulations.

1-6 DOOR LOCK PULSE DURATION:

Some European vehicles, such as Mercedes-Benz and Audi, require longer

lock and unlock pulses to operate the vacuum pump. Programming the system to provide 3.5 second pulses, will

accommodate the door lock interface in these vehicles. The default setting is 0.8 second door lock pulses.

1-7 FORCED PASSIVE ARMING ON/OFF:

To use this feature, passive arming must be selected in step 1-1. When

turned on, forced passive arming will ensure that the system will passively arm, even if a zone is left open or invalid.

Forced passive arming occurs one hour after the ignition is turned off.

1-8 AUTOMATIC ENGINE DISABLE (AED) ON/OFF:

AED is a full-time, passive starter disable that works

independently of the security system. When turned on, the orange, ground-when-armed output (H1/1) will go active

30 seconds after the ignition is turned off. The LED will flash at half its normal rate when the ignition is turned off

to indicate that AED is active and will interrupt the starter in 30 seconds. AED does not occur in Valet

mode and

can be bypassed using the emergency override procedure. The transmitter can be used to disarm AED; however,

the system must be armed and then disarmed with the transmitter, in order to disarm AED.

1-9 ARMED WHILE DRIVING/VEHICLE RECOVERY SYSTEM:

In the default setting (Armed While Driving), the

system can be armed with the ignition on. When armed, the ground-when-armed is not active and the sensors are

bypassed.The door triggers will remain active. If programmed to the Vehicle Recovery System (VRS

) setting, VRS

will be activated.
