• Alarm Page Alert: an alarm page alert is a single beep that repeats every sixty seconds after an alarm warn or full trigger page has been received. It will continue to beep until it has been cleared by the user. • Alarm Page: to clear an Alarm Page Alert, press any button on the remote control. Until the alert is cleared, the buttons on the remote control will not transmit commands. a.

remote start safety features This system has several important safety features to ensure proper operation of the motor and prevent accidental damage to the engine or its components. ➜ starter anti-grind circuitry Whenever the vehicle is remote started, advanced anti-grind circuitry prevents the starter from engaging, even if the key is turned to the start position. This prevents damage to the starter motor if the key is turned to the start position during remote start operation.
PAGE 42
➜ over and under rev protection The system monitors the engine speed and will automatically shut the engine off if the RPMs rise above or fall below the programmed levels. This feature prevents damage to the motor due to fuel delivery system failures or other problems which may cause the engine to race. note: The system uses a wire connected to the vehicle to sense engine speed. This wire must be connected in order for over and under rev protection to work.
PAGE 43
diagnostics The microprocessor at the heart of your system is constantly moni toring all of the switches and sensors connected to it. It is designed to detect any faulty switches and sensors and prevents them from disabling the entire system. The microprocessor will record and report any triggers that occurred during your absence. ➜ arming diagnostics Each time this system is armed it runs a diagnostic routine to test for active alarm inputs.
PAGE 44
note: sensor inputs that are triggered too many times will be bypassed using a feature called NPC for Nuisance Prevention. ➜ nuisance prevention circuitry This diagnostic feature monitors the sensor inputs for excessive trig‑ gers and bypasses them automatically to avoid annoying repeated trig‑ gers. how it works If any sensor input is triggered 3 times within a one hour period, it will be bypassed for one hour. The input will still be moni‑ tored, but the alarm will not sound if a trigger is detected..
