Using Your System
Warning! Safety First
The following safety warnings must be observed at all times:
ꢀ
ꢀ
Due to the complexity of this system, installation of this
product must only be performed by an authorized DEI dealer.
When properly installed, this system can start the vehicle via
a command signal from the remote control transmitter.
Therefore, never operate the system in an enclosed area or
partially enclosed area without ventilation (such as a garage).
When parking in an enclosed or partially enclosed area or
when having the vehicle serviced, the remote start system
must be disabled using the installed toggle switch. It is the
user's sole responsibility to properly handle and keep out of
reach from children all remote control transmitters to assure
that the system does not unintentionally remote start the
vehicle. THE USER MUST INSTALL A CARBON MONOXIDE
DETECTOR IN OR ABOUT THE LIVING AREA ADJACENT TO THE
VEHICLE. ALL DOORS LEADING FROM ADJACENT LIVING
AREAS TO THE ENCLOSED OR PARTIALLY ENCLOSED VEHICLE
STORAGE AREA MUST AT ALL TIMES REMAIN CLOSED. These
precautions are the sole responsibility of the user.
ꢀ
Use of this product in a manner contrary to its intended mode
of operation may result in property damage, personal injury,
or death. (1) Never remotely start the vehicle with the vehi-

cle in gear, and (2) Never remotely start the vehicle with the
keys in the ignition. The user must also have the neutral safe-
ty feature of the vehicle periodically checked, wherein the
vehicle must not remotely start while the car is in gear. This
testing should be performed by an authorized DEI dealer in
accordance with the Safety Check outlined in the product
installation guide. If the vehicle starts in gear, cease remote
start operation immediately and consult with the authorized
DEI dealer to fix the problem.
ꢀ
After the remote start module has been installed, contact your
authorized dealer to have him or her test the remote start
module by performing the Safety Check outlined in the prod-
uct installation guide. If the vehicle starts when performing
the Neutral Safety Shutdown Circuit test, the remote start unit
has not been properly installed. The remote start module must
be removed or the installer must properly reinstall the remote
start system so that the vehicle does not start in gear. All
installations must be performed by an authorized DEI dealer.
OPERATION OF THE REMOTE START MODULE IF THE VEHICLE
STARTS IN GEAR IS CONTRARY TO ITS INTENDED MODE OF
OPERATION. OPERATING THE REMOTE START SYSTEM UNDER
THESE CONDITIONS MAY RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE OR
PERSONAL INJURY. YOU MUST IMMEDIATELY CEASE THE USE
OF THE UNIT AND SEEK THE ASSISTANCE OF AN AUTHORIZED
DEI DEALER TO REPAIR OR DISCONNECT THE INSTALLED
REMOTE START MODULE. DEI WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSI-
BLE OR PAY FOR INSTALLATION OR REINSTALLATION COSTS.

Arming
You can arm the system by pressing
of your transmitter for one
second. When the system arms, you will hear a short siren sound,
or chirp, and see the parking lights flash once. If the power door
locks are controlled by the system, the doors will also lock. While
the system is armed, the status LED will flash approximately twice
per second, indicating that the system is actively protecting your
vehicle. If you hear a second chirp after arming and note that the
status LED is flashing in groups, see the Diagnostics Section of this
guide. This extra chirp is called Bypass Notification.
The system can be programmed to arm itself automatically (called
passive arming). If the system is programmed for passive arming, it will
automatically arm 30 seconds after the ignition is turned off and the
system detects that you have left the vehicle by opening and closing
a door. Whenever the system is in its 30-second passive arming count-
down, the status LED will flash twice as fast as it does when the sys-
tem is armed. At the 20-second point of the countdown, the siren will
chirp to indicate that the system is about to arm. At the 30-second
point, the parking lights will flash to indicate that the system is armed.
NOTE: If any protected entry point (such as a door or a switch-protected
trunk or hood) is open, the system will not passively arm (unless forced
passive arming is programmed on. See Programming Options section.)
Additionally, each time a sensor is triggered during the arming count-
down, the 30-second countdown starts over.
Arming your security system protects your vehicle as follows:
ꢀ
Light impacts trigger the Warn Away® signal. When triggered,
the siren chirps and the parking lights flash for a few seconds.

ꢀ
ꢀ
Heavy impacts trip a Triggered Sequence. The sequence con-
sists of the siren sounding continuously and the parking lights
flashing for a pre-programmed period, which can range in
duration from 1 to 180 seconds.
If a door is opened, the system will immediately start chirp-
ing the siren and flashing the parking lights. Three seconds
later, the siren output changes to a continuous blast. This
progressive response gives you time to disarm the system with
your transmitter if you inadvertently open the door while the
system is armed, while still providing instant response (even
if the door is immediately closed).
ꢀ
ꢀ
Turning on the ignition key will trip the same progressive re-
sponse as opening a door.
The optional starter kill prevents the vehicle’s starter from
cranking.
Multi-Level Security Arming
Multi-Level Security Arming allows you to select which of the sys-
tem's inputs or sensors will be active and which will be bypassed
when the system is armed. (See Table of Zones section of this
guide.) Pressing
five seconds of arming the system will activate the Multi-Level
Security feature. Each time is pressed again, a different secu-
(only in Standard Configuration) again within
rity level is selected. The different security levels are selected as
follows:
ꢀ
Pressing
once: The siren chirps once. The system is armed.
10

ꢀ
Pressing
a second time within five seconds: The siren
chirps twice followed by a long chirp. Zone 2 is now
bypassed.
ꢀ
ꢀ
Pressing
three times followed by a long chirp. Zone 4 is now bypassed.
Pressing a fourth time within five seconds: The siren
a third time within five seconds: The siren chirps
chirps four times followed by a long chirp. Zones 2 and 4 are
now bypassed.
ꢀ
Pressing
a fifth time within five seconds: The siren chirps
five times followed by a long chirp. All input zones, except
the ignition, are now bypassed.
NOTE: Multi-Level Security Arming only applies to a single arming cycle.
Once the system is disarmed and then re-armed, all the zones will be
active again.
Arming While Driving
Your security system can be armed while driving the vehicle!
Simply press
on the transmitter while the vehicle is running.
The siren will chirp once to indicate that the security system is
armed, and then once more to indicate that the ignition is on. The
system will not respond to any input except the door triggers, and
the starter kill relay (if installed) will not be activated. Once you
have arrived at your destination, the system will disarm when the
ignition is turned off. The siren will chirp twice and the LED will
then stop flashing. The system can also be disarmed at any time
by pressing
.

Disarming
To turn off, or disarm the security system, press
again. You will
hear two chirps, and the parking lights will flash twice. If the
power locks are controlled by the system, the doors will also
unlock. The siren chirping either four or five times when disarming
indicates Tamper Alert, which is described in the Diagnostics
Section of this guide.
High Security Disarm
Your security system includes a High Security Disarm feature. After
6 seconds of trigger sequence, using the transmitter to disarm the
security system will only stop the trigger sequence (the siren will
stop and the parking lights will stop flashing). However, the sys-
tem will remain armed and the doors will stay locked. This is
extremely useful if you must stop the system from sounding, but
are unable to visually check the vehicle. This feature allows you to
silence and reset the security system when it is triggered, without
having to disarm the system.
High Security Rearm
High Security Rearm is a feature that protects your vehicle in the
event that the security system is inadvertently disarmed. Two
minutes after disarming the security system with the remote trans-
mitter, the system will automatically rearm and lock the doors if a
vehicle door has not been opened. Rearming will take place regard-
less of whether the system has been programmed for active
locking/arming or passive locking/arming.

Disarming Without a Transmitter
If your remote transmitter is lost or damaged, you can manually
disarm your vehicle security system. To disarm the system without
a transmitter, you must have the vehicle's ignition key and know
where the Valet® switch is located. Be sure to check with your
installer at the time of installation for both the location and the
preset response (1-5 presses) of the Valet® switch.
To disarm the security system,
turn the ignition key on and
press the Valet® switch the
DRW-35
preset number of times within
15 seconds. If the system does
not disarm, you may have
waited too long; turn the igni-
tion off and repeat the process.
IMPORTANT! The Valet® switch can be programmed to respond to 1-5
presses for the disarm function. You must check with the installer to ver-
ify the programming for your individual unit.
®
LOCATION OF VALET SWITCH_____________________________
Silent Mode
Use the Silent Mode to temporarily turn off the arm or disarm con-
firmation chirps by briefly pressing
before either arming or dis-
arming the security system. The confirmation chirp(s) will then be
eliminated for that one operation only. To permanently turn off the
arm and disarm confirmation chirps, contact your installation dealer.

NOTE: The Warn Away® Response to lighter impacts is bypassed if the
system is armed using the Silent Mode. This ensures that the siren does
not chirp in an environment where you don't want chirps to be emitted.
The system is still capable of being triggered by heavier impacts; only
the Warn Away® Response generated by light impacts is bypassed.
Panic Mode
If you are threatened in or near your vehicle, you can attract
attention by triggering the system with your transmitter! Just
press and hold
for 1 second, and you will enter Panic Mode.
The siren will sound and the parking lights will flash for 30 sec-
onds. To stop Panic Mode at any time, press
the transmitter.

again.
The status LED will light solid if you are entering Valet® Mode and
will turn off if you are exiting Valet® Mode.
Remote Start
This feature allows you to remotely start and run your vehicle for
a programmable period of time. This makes it possible to warm up
the engine, as well as adjust the interior temperature of the vehi-
cle with the climate control system. If interior heating or cooling
is desired, the climate controls must be preset, and the fan blower
must be set to the desired level prior to remote starting the vehicle.
IMPORTANT! (1) Never remote start your vehicle when the keys are in the
ignition, except when performing Valet® Take-Over, and (2) Never start
the vehicle if it is not in either PARK or NEUTRAL.
Pressing
and
at the same time will begin the remote start
sequence. The parking lights will flash to warn that the motor is
about to start. It is important to release the transmitter buttons

as soon as the parking lights flash. If the buttons are pressed
longer than two seconds, the remote start sequence will stop.
About three seconds after the parking lights flash, the system will
engage the starter until the vehicle is successfully running. If the
motor is not running after six seconds, the system will stop crank-
ing the starter. After three seconds, the system will attempt to
start the motor again. If your motor is not running after three
attempts, the system will stop the remote start sequence. It is not
necessary to disarm your system before remote starting the vehi-
cle. The shock sensor will be bypassed whenever the system is run-
ning the motor.
IMPORTANT! It is unsafe to operate a vehicle’s motor in a garage or other
closed off area. Breathing the exhaust from the vehicle is hazardous to
your health. Never activate the remote start in an enclosed space.
Once the remote start system has successfully started the motor, it
will turn the climate controls on. The motor will run for the select-
ed period of time and the parking lights will flash or light solid
while the motor is running. (See Programming Options Section of
this guide.)
Shutting Down The Remote Start System
Pressing
and
again, during remote start operation, will
shut down the remote start system and the motor will turn off. You
can also shut down the remote start system by pressing on the

because the ignition has been turned on. The vehicle will now
operate as usual.
Valet Take-Over
A vehicle equipped with the Valet® Take-Over system can remain
running after the key is removed from the ignition. This feature is
useful for occasions when you wish to exit the vehicle for short
periods of time, but would like to leave the motor running and the
climate controls on.
®
To perform Valet Take-Over, before turning off the engine:
1. Press and release
and
on the transmitter (or press and
release the optional Momentary switch).
2. Turn the ignition key to the OFF position. (The engine will
stay running.)
3. The engine will run until the programmed time elapses or a
shut down input is received.
NOTE: This feature will not work while the brake pedal is being pressed.

Timer Mode
Timer Mode automatically starts your vehicle engine and runs it for
a pre-programmed time period, every three hours for a total of six
operation cycles. Timer Mode helps to ensure that your engine will
start in the morning after being parked outside during a night of
extremely cold temperatures.
IMPORTANT! This feature must only be used in open areas, never in an
enclosed area such as a garage.
To enter Timer Mode:
1. Start the vehicle by pressing and releasing

Mode has been entered.
The vehicle engine may be allowed to run for its pre-programmed
time period, or it can be shut down while running during Timer
Mode operation by pressing buttons
and
on the transmit-
ter again. In either case, the vehicle will restart every three hours
for a total of six operation cycles. If the system receives a shut-
down input while the engine is running in Timer Mode, the engine
will stop, but will restart, on schedule, again in three hours!

Disabling the Remote Start System
This feature allows your system's remote start unit to be tem-
porarily disabled to prevent the vehicle from being remote started
accidentally. This feature is useful if the vehicle is being serviced
or stored in an enclosed area. To disable the remote start, move
the supplied shutdown toggle switch to the OFF position. The
switch can be installed in a location of your choice. Check with
your installer for recommended locations.

Nuisance Prevention Circuitry
Your system has DEI's Nuisance Prevention Circuitry™ (NPC™). It pre-
vents annoying repetitive trigger sequences due to faulty door pin
switches or environmental conditions such as thunder, jackham-
mers, airport noise, etc.
Example: The alarm triggers three times. Each time, the same sen-
sor or switch is triggering the alarm. The three triggers are within
60 minutes of each other. NPC™ will interpret this pattern of trig-
gers as false alarms. After the third trigger, NPC™ ignores, or
bypasses, that sensor or switch (along with any other sensors or
switches sharing the same zone).
If the bypassed sensor tries to trigger the security system while it
is being bypassed, the 60-minute bypass period will start over. This
ensures that a sensor that is continually being triggered will
remain bypassed.
The vehicle doors are protected by NPC™ differently. If your securi-
ty system is triggered by an open door for three full cycles, the sys-
tem will bypass the doors 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 min-
utes, or to turn on the ignition. If testing your system, it is important to
remember that the NPC™ programming can cause zones to be bypassed
and appear to stop working. If five chirps are heard when disarming, NPC™
has been engaged. If you wish to clear the NPC™ memory, turn the igni-
tion on.

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.
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 deliv-
ery 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 pro-
tection to work.
Shut Down Inputs
This security system uses several inputs to shut down the remote
start operation of the motor or prevent remote start if certain
inputs are active. The two most important are hood and brake
inputs. The hood input will prevent the motor from starting, as
well as shut it down, any time the hood is opened. The brake pedal
will shut down the motor at any time during remote start opera-
tion, as well as preventing the remote start from activating while
it is being pressed.

Starter Anti-Grind Circuitry
Whenever the vehicle is remote started, advanced anti-grind circuitry
will prevent 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.
NOTE: The starter anti-grind circuitry only works when the remote start
system is operating the motor and the Failsafe® Starter Kill relay has been
installed.
Diagnostics
The microprocessor at the heart of your system is constantly mon-
itoring 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
also record and report any triggers that occurred during your
absence.
Arming Diagnostics
If the security system is armed at the same time that an input is
active (such as a door opening or sensor triggering), you will hear
one siren chirp to indicate arming and a second siren chirp to indi-
cate Bypass Notification. A Bypass Notification chirp means that
the security system ignores the input that was active when the
system was armed, until that input ceases. Three seconds after that
22

input ceases, the security system will resume normal monitoring.
For example, if your vehicle has an interior light exit delay and you
arm your security system before the interior light turns off, you
may hear a second Bypass Notification chirp. Once the light turns
off, however, the security system resumes normal monitoring.
NOTE: Bypass Notification does not occur when the system is in Silent
Mode or if the notification chirps have been programmed by the installer
not to sound.
Disarming Diagnostics
Extra chirps that are heard when disarming the system are the
Tamper Alert. If four chirps are heard when disarming the system,
then the security system was triggered in your absence. If five
chirps are heard when disarming the system, a zone was triggered
so many times that the Nuisance Protection Circuitry™ has bypassed
that zone. In either case, the status LED will indicate which zone
was involved (see Table of Zones section). The security system will
retain this information in its memory and chirp four or five times
each time it is disarmed, until the next time that the ignition is
turned on.
Table of Zones
A zone is represented by the number of LED flashes used by the
system to identify a particular type of input. Standard input
assignments are listed in the following table, along with spaces
to write in any optional sensors or switches that have been
installed.

™
Stealth Coding
Technology
The receiver and transmitters use a mathematical formula called an
algorithm to change their code each time the transmitter is used.
This technology has been developed to increase the security of the
unit. The control unit knows what the next codes should be. This helps
to keep the transmitter “in sync” with the control unit even if you
use the remote control out of range of the vehicle. However, if the
remote has been pressed many times out of range of the vehicle,
or the battery has been removed, it may fall out of sync with the con-

trol unit and fail to operate the system. To re-sync the remote sim-
ply press several times within range of the vehicle. The alarm
will automatically re-sync and respond to the transmitters normally.
High Frequency
Your system transmits and receives at 434 MHz. This provides a cleaner
spectrum with less interference and a more stable signal. Enjoy a phe-
nomenal increase in range, even in areas with high radio interference.
Owner Recognition
Owner Recognition is a revolutionary new feature available only
from DEI®. Using a DEI® Bitwriter, hand-held programming tool, your
dealer can program many of the system settings. The programmer
makes it possible to program different settings for each transmit-
ter that is used with the system. Then, whenever a specific trans-
mitter is used, the system will recall the settings assigned to that
transmitter. Owner Recognition lets up to four users of the system
have different settings that meet their specific needs. It is almost
like having four separate alarms in your vehicle, one for each user.
NOTE: Owner Recognition cannot be programmed without a Bitwriter and
the necessary software. Check with your dealer for more information.

Rapid Resume Logic
This DEI® system will store its current state to non-volatile mem-
ory. 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 ser-
vicing the car, when the battery is reconnected the unit will still
be in Valet® Mode. This applies to all states of the system includ-
ing arm, disarm, and Valet® Mode.
Power Saver Mode
Your system will automatically enter Power Saver Mode while
armed or in Valet® Mode, after a period of time in which no oper-
ation has been performed. This lowers the current draw on the
vehicle's battery and prevents the system from draining the bat-
tery. Power Saver Mode takes over under the following conditions:
ꢀ
Power Saver when the system is armed: After the system has
been armed for 24 hours the LED will flash at half its normal
rate, decreasing the system's current draw.
ꢀ
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 one hour period while the
26

system is in Valet® Mode, the LED will shut off. If the system
remains in Valet® Mode, the LED will come back on the next
time the ignition is turned on and then back off.
Programming Options
Programming options control your system's normal, operational
set-up. Most options do not require additional parts, but some may
require installation labor.
The following is a list of the programmable options, with the fac-
tory settings in Bold.
ꢀ
Active arming (transmitter only) or passive arming (auto-
matic arming 30 seconds after the last door has been closed).
Arming/disarming siren chirps on or off.
ꢀ
ꢀ
The ignition controlled door lock feature on or off: When
this feature is programmed on, the doors will lock three sec-
onds after the ignition is turned on, and unlock when the
ignition is turned off. The system can also be programmed
to prevent the door from locking when the ignition is
turned on with any door open. If your installer is program-
ming the security system with the DEI® Bitwriter or a per-
sonal computer and the TechSoft™ Programmer, ignition lock
and unlock are independent features and can be pro-
grammed separately.
27

ꢀ
Passive door locking (with passive arming) or active door
locking (only when arming with the transmitter). Passive
locking allows the vehicle's doors to lock when the security
system passively arms (after the 30-second countdown). This
feature only works if passive arming has been programmed.
Panic mode enabled/disabled when the ignition is turned on.
(Some states have laws against sirens sounding in moving cars.)
Forced passive arming on or off. If your security system is
programmed for passive arming and the forced passive arm-
ing feature has been programmed on, the system will pas-
sively arm after one hour, even if a protected entry has been
left open. Forced passive arming ensures that the system will
be armed if a door has accidentally been left ajar when leav-
ing the vehicle.
ꢀ
ꢀ
NOTE: When the system passively arms after one hour, the entry point
that has been left open, and anything connected to the same zone, is
bypassed and cannot trigger the system. However, the remaining inputs
to the system are fully operational.
ꢀ
Full trigger response 30 or 60 seconds: This determines how
long the full triggered sequence lasts. Some states have laws
regulating how long a security system can sound before it is
considered a nuisance. If your installer is programming the
security system with the DEI® Bitwriter or a personal com-
puter and the TechSoft™ Programmer, the full triggered
response can be programmed for any duration ranging from 1
to 180 seconds.
ꢀ
Automatic Engine Disable (AED) on or off. The purpose of
this feature is to protect the vehicle from being stolen at all
28

times, regardless of whether or not the alarm is armed. If AED
is programmed on, the starter of the vehicle will be disabled
30 seconds after the ignition is turned off. Once the key is
turned off, the LED will flash slowly (one-half its normal
armed rate) to indicate the AED arming cycle. Thirty seconds
later, the starter will be disabled. To start the car, it will be
necessary to arm the car with the remote and then disarm it
with the remote. It is also possible to disarm the AED feature
by turning the ignition key to the “run” position and press-
ing the Valet® button the programmed number of times. AED
is also disabled when the system is in Valet® mode.
NOTE: This feature will only function if the FailSafe® Starter Kill relay has
been installed.
™
ꢀ
Siren tones and chirp volume. The output of the Revenger Soft
™
Chirp siren consists of six different tones in sequence. Any
of these tones can be eliminated by a dealer, resulting in a
unique, easily identifiable siren sound. The chirps can be either
full volume or 6 decibels quieter than the full alarm blast.
The engine can be programmed to run for any duration rang-
ing from 1 to 60 minutes. 12 minutes is the default. After
the programmed run time, the engine will shut down and will
not restart, unless in Timer Mode.
ꢀ
ꢀ
While the remote start system is running the engine, the
parking lights of the vehicle can flash on and off or come on
and light steadily.

Installation Options
The system has many options that may require extra parts and
labor. Some of the possibilities are listed here.
Delayed accessory output (DAO): This system provides an out-
put whenever the ignition is turned off. This output can be used
to keep the radio or power windows on when the ignition is
turned off. Opening and closing a door automatically turns the
output off.
Domelight supervision: The vehicle’s interior domelight can be
configured to illuminate for 30 seconds after the alarm is dis-
armed. If the system is rearmed during that 30-second period, the
domelight supervision will terminate until the alarm is disarmed
once again.
Progressive unlocking: In most cars with electric power door
locks, the system can be configured so that when disarmed, only
the driver’s door unlocks. A second press of the disarm button
within 15 seconds of disarming unlocks the other doors.
Stereo or sensor on/off: The system provides outputs that can be
used to turn a stereo or sensor on and off via the remote.

Security & Convenience
Expansions
Listed below are some of the many expansion options available.
Please consult your dealer for a complete explanation of all the
options available to you.
Audio Sensor: Metal on glass, glass cracking, and breaking glass
produce distinctive acoustic signatures. The 506T audio sensor
uses a microphone to pick up sounds, then analyzes them with pro-
prietary acoustic software to determine if the glass has been struck.
Backup Battery: The 520T keeps the system armed, triggers the alarm
and keeps the starter kill active if main battery is disconnected.
®
Digital Failsafe Starter Kill: The 103T Digital Failsafe Starter Kill
can be used as a serial controller to enhance your vehicle’s security
system. With the 103T, you can control your system’s basic func-
tions from an illuminated, dash-mounted keypad. Simply enter
coded key sequences to control arming, disarming, panic and Valet
Mode functions.
Field Disturbance Sensor: An invisible dome of coverage is estab-
lished by installing the 508D “radar” sensor. Your system can react
to any intrusions into this field with the full triggered sequence.
Mechanical Hood Lock: Prevents the vehicle’s hood from being
opened, keeping thieves away from the system’s siren, the battery
connections, and other components under the hood.

Power Trunk Release: The auxiliary output of the system can operate
a factory power release for the vehicle’s trunk or hatch. Although
the on-board relay can control most power trunk releases, some-
times an optional relay is required. If the factory release is not
power-activated, DEI's 522T trunk release solenoid can often be added.
Power Locks: This system offers lock outputs that can control
some manufacturers' power door lock systems. For other systems,
additional parts may be required.
Power Window Control: Automatic power window control is pro-
vided with the 529T and 530T systems. These can operate power
windows, and can roll them up automatically when the system is
armed, roll them down, or both up and down.

Glossary of Terms
Control Unit: The “brain” of your system. Usually hidden under-
neath the dash area of the vehicle. It houses the microprocessor
which monitors your vehicle and controls all of the alarm's
functions.
®
FailSafe Starter Kill: An automatic switch controlled by the secu-
rity system which prevents the vehicle’s starter from cranking
whenever the system is armed. The vehicle is never prevented from
cranking when the system is disarmed, in Valet® Mode, or should
the starter kill switch itself fail. Your system is ready for this fea-
ture, however installation may require additional labor.
Input: A physical connection to the system. An input can be pro-
vided by a sensor, pinswitch or by existing systems in the vehicle,
such as ignition or courtesy lights.
LED: Red light mounted somewhere in the vehicle. It is used to
indicate the status of your system. It is also used to report trig-
gers and faults in the system or sensors.
Shock Sensor: This system is packaged with a Stinger™
DoubleGuard® shock sensor. This sensor is mounted in the vehicle
and designed to pick up impacts to the vehicle or glass.
Transmitter: Hand-held, remote control which operates the vari-
ous functions of your system.

Trigger or triggered sequence: This is what happens when the
alarm “goes off” or “trips.” The triggered sequence of your system
consists of 30 seconds of siren sounding and parking light flashing.
®
Valet Switch: A small push button switch mounted somewhere
inside the vehicle. It is used to override the alarm when a trans-
mitter is lost or damaged, or to put it into Valet® mode.
®
Warn Away response: Lighter impacts to the vehicle will gener-
ate the Warn Away® response. It consists of several seconds of
siren chirps and parking light flashes.
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. Often two or more inputs may share the same zone.
