transmitter functions This system uses computer-based code learning to learn the transmitter buttons. This makes it possible to assign any transmitter button to any system function. The transmitter initially comes programmed with standard configuration, but may also be customized using the CliffNet Wizard PC program. The buttons in all of the instructions in this manual correspond to a standard configuration transmitter.
Button Silent arm and disarm is controlled by this button. Button, then Button Accessory B output is controlled by these buttons. Button, then Button These buttons activate SmartWindows. Button, then Button Accessory C output is controlled by these buttons. Button twice, then Button These buttons activate remote valet. Button twice, then Button These buttons disable the sensors.
using your system The buttons used in the instructions in this manual correspond to the standard transmitter configuration. If your transmitter has been custom configured, the icons on your transmitter buttons may not correspond to the indicated functions. arming with transmitter You can activate, or arm, the system by pressing on your trans- mitter for one second. When the system arms, you will hear two short siren sounds, or chirps, and see the parking lights flash twice.
ally armed at that point. The system arms and the doors lock (if connected and programmed for passive locking) at 30 seconds, but the siren will not chirp. The early chirps provide you with a 25-second warning prior to arming. note: If any protected entry point (a door or a switch-protected trunk or hood) is open, the system will not passively arm. Additionally, each time a protected entry is triggered during the arming countdown, the 30-second countdown starts over.
Silencing section of this guide.) However, if the alarm completes the full trigger cycle when disarmed you will hear three chirps. disarming without a transmitter This feature allows you to disarm the system without the transmitter should it be lost, damaged, or disabled. In order to disarm without a transmitter, you must have the vehicle’s ignition key, know where the PlainView 2 Valet switch is located, and have the PIN code.
transmitter chirp muting To temporarily turn off the arm or disarm chirps, use transmitter chirp muting. Simply press on the transmitter, and the confirmation chirp(s) will be eliminated for that one operation only. The parking lights will flash to confirm the arm/disarm command. If you want the arm/disarm chirps turned off permanently, please refer to the UserSelectable Features section of this guide.
intellistart and smartwindows sensor bypass When the system sees a command to start the vehicle via the Intellistart, it bypasses all sensors and will continue to bypass these sensors until the remote start shuts down. When the system sees a SmartWindows command for up or down operation, the unit will automatically bypass all sensors until the windows complete their operation. auxiliary channel bypass All sensor will be bypassed while a pulsed or timed auxiliary output channel is active.
disarm/valet mode Entering your pin code using the PlainView 2 Valet switch allows you to disarm the system or enter valet mode without using the transmitter. In valet mode, the security system will not arm, even with the transmitter, but all convenience functions (door locks, trunk release, etc.) will continue to work normally. To disarm or enter Valet Mode: 1. Turn the ignition on. 2. Enter PIN code (factory setting is 2 - this procedure is described later in this manual). 3.
transmitter valet mode To enter or exit Valet Mode, press twice and then . The LED status indicator will light solid when Valet Mode is entered, or will turn off when Valet Mode is exited. one-time auto-arming bypass This will bypass the auto arm feature once only. 1. With the key, turn the ignition on, then off within two seconds. 2. The siren will chirp once to confirm auto arming bypass. 3. The system will not auto arm.
multiple event total recall This will report the last eight system triggers. 1. Press and hold of the PlainView 2 Valet switch. 2. While still holding release the button. 3. The LED will start to blink to indicate the most recent trigger and proceed down to the eighth trigger. If fewer than eight triggers are stored in memory, the LED will blink continuously until the system is armed/disarmed using the transmitter or the ignition is turned on.
Doors are covered by FACT II differently; if the alarm is triggered by an open door for three full cycles, the doors will be bypassed until the trigger ceases. FACT II is programmable. See the Programming Options section of this guide. note: Arming and disarming the system does not reset this function! The only way to reset a bypassed zone is for 60 minutes or to turn on the ignition.
diagnostics The microprocessor at the heart of your security system is constantly monitoring all of the switches and sensors that are 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. arming diagnostics If the system is armed while an input is active (door open, sensor triggering, etc.
disarming diagnostics Extra disarm chirps are the Tamper Alert. If three chirps are heard when disarming, the system was triggered in your absence. If three chirps are heard, the LED status indicator will indicate which zone was involved when you turn the ignition on (see the Table of Zones section). The system will retain this information in its memory. Refer to the Multiple Event Total Recall section of this guide.
table of zones The zone number is the number of LED flashes used by the system to identify a specific input. The standard input assignments are listed below, along with spaces to write in any optional sensors or switches you have had installed. If the Warning Zone response is triggered, the LED will not report it.
high frequency Your system transmits and receives at 433 MHz. This provides a cleaner spectrum with less interference and a more stable signal. smart power up II This security system will store its current state to non-volatile memory. If power is lost and then reconnected the system will recall the stored state from memory. This means if the unit is in Valet Mode and the battery is disconnected for any reason, such as servicing the car, when the battery is reconnected the unit will still be in Valet Mode.
z Power Saver when the system is armed: After the system has been armed for 48 hours, the LED will flash at half its normal rate, decreasing the system's current draw. z Power Saver in Valet Mode: When the system enters Valet Mode the LED illuminates steadily. If the vehicle is not used (ignition is not turned on) for a period of one hour while the system is in Valet Mode, the LED will shut off.
