1-8 FORCED PASSIVE ARMING ON/OFF: To use this feature, passive arming must be selected in Feature 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.
1-9 AUTOMATIC ENGINE DISABLE (AED) ON/OFF: AED is a full-time, passive starter disable that works inde-
pendently of the security system. When turned on, the orange, ground-when-armed output (H1/1) will activate
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, using the transmitter, to disarm AED.
1-10 ARMED WHILE DRIVING (AWD) ON/OFF: 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.
1-11 CODE HOPPING™ ON/OFF: The system uses a mathematical formula to change its code each time the trans-
mitter and receiver communicate. This makes the group of bits or "word" from the transmitter very long. The
longer the word is, the easier it is to block its transmission to the unit. Disabling the Code Hopping™ feature
lets the receiver ignore the Code Hopping™ part of the transmitted word. As a result, the unit may have better
range with Code Hopping™ off.
2-1 SIREN OUTPUT CONSTANT/PULSED: The system can be programmed to output pulses instead of a continu-
ous output when the system is triggered. This is useful to honk the factory horn in applications where a siren is
undesirable. Remember that the unit is only capable of supplying 1 amp of current. A relay will be required to
interface with most factory horn systems.
2-2 SIREN DURATION 30/60 SECONDS: It is possible to program the unit to sound for 30 or 60 seconds
during the triggered sequence. Some states have laws regulating how long a security system can sound.
When using the TechSoft Programmer or Bitwriter™, the siren can be programmed to sound for any length of time
from 1 second to 180 seconds. Use the right and left arrows or the plus (+) and minus (-) keys on your keyboard
to change the siren duration in 1 second intervals. Holding down the key will rapidly increase or decrease the setting.
The desired siren duration can also be directly entered by using the number keys on your computer's keyboard.
2-3 NUISANCE PREVENTION CIRCUITRY™ (NPC™) ON/OFF: NPC™ stops repeated triggering of the same zone.
If one zone is triggered three times in one hour, that zone is bypassed for one hour, starting from the time of
the third trigger. During that hour, if the system sees a trigger on that zone again, the system resets the one
hour timer. If one hour passes and the zone has not triggered again, the zone is activated and can trigger the
