[. . . ] Model 417 Owner's Guide Limited Lifetime Consumer Warranty Directed Electronics, Inc. ("DEI®") promises to the original purchaser to repair or replace with a comparable reconditioned model any DEI unit (hereafter the "unit"), excluding without limitation the siren, the remote transmitters, the associated sensors and accessories, which proves to be defective in workmanship or material under reasonable use during the lifetime of the vehicle provided the following conditions are met: the unit was professionally installed and serviced by an authorized DEI dealer; the unit will be professionally reinstalled in the vehicle in which it was originally installed by an authorized DEI dealer; and the unit is returned to DEI, shipping prepaid with a legible copy of the bill of sale or other dated proof of purchase bearing the following information: consumer's name, telephone number and address; the authorized dealers name, telephone number and address; complete product description, including accessories; the year, make and model of the vehicle; vehicle license number and vehicle identification number. All components other than the unit, including without limitation the siren, the remote transmitters and the associated sensors and accessories, carry a one-year warranty from the date of purchase of the same. This warranty is non-transferable and is automatically void if: the original purchaser has not completed the warranty card and mailed it within ten (10) days of the date of purchase to the address listed on the card; the unit's date code or serial number is defaced, missing or altered; the unit has been modified or used in a manner contrary to its intended purpose; the unit has been damaged by accident, unreasonable use, neglect, improper service, installation or other causes not arising out of defects in materials or construction. [. . . ] After the third trigger, your system ignores, or bypasses, that sensor or switch (along with any other sensors or switches sharing the same zone) for 60 minutes. If the bypassed sensor is triggered again while it is already being bypassed, the 60-minute bypass period will start over. This ensures that a sensor that is continually being triggered will remain bypassed. If your security system is triggered by an open door for three, full 30-second cycles (one and one half minutes), it will bypass the doors until the trigger ceases. NOTE: Arming and disarming the security system does not reset NPC. The only ways to reset a bypassed zone are for that zone not to be triggered for 60 minutes or to turn the ignition key on. When testing your system, it is important to remember that the False Alarm Prevention Circuitry can cause zones to be bypassed and appear not to work properly. To clear the memory, turn the ignition key on. Diagnostics The microprocessor at the heart of your system has the ability to constantly monitor all of the switches and sensors connected to it. It can detect any faulty switches or sensors and prevent them from disabling the entire system. It can also record and report any triggers that occur when you are away from your vehicle. © 2000 Directed Electronics, Inc. 9 Arming Diagnostics If the system is armed at the same time that an input is active (door opening, sensor triggering, etc. ), you will hear one chirp to indicate arming and a second chirp to indicate Bypass Notification. A Bypass Notification chirp means that the system ignores the input that was active when the system was armed, until that input ceases. Three seconds after that input ceases, the system resumes normal monitoring. For example, if your vehicle has an interior light exit delay and you arm the system before the light turns off, you may hear a second Bypass Notification chirp. Once the light turns off, however, the system resumes normal monitoring. NOTE: Bypass Notification does not occur if the chirps have been programmed by the installer not to sound. Disarming Diagnostics Your security system has a Tamper Alert feature that notifies you of triggers that occur while you are away from your vehicle. If the siren emits four chirps when you disarm, this indicates that the system was triggered in your absence. Five chirps when disarming indicates that a specific zone was triggered so many times that the Nuisance Prevention Circuitry has bypassed that zone. In both cases, the pattern of the flashing status LED will indicate which zone was triggered (see Table of Zones). The LED does not, however, report when Warn Away Responses have been activated; only full Triggered Sequences are reported. The system retains this information in its memory and continues to chirp four or five times each time it is disarmed, until the next time the ignition is turned on. 10 © 2000 Directed Electronics, Inc. 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. ZONE (Number of LED Flashes) DESCRIPTION Instant trigger - often used for hood/trunk pinswitches DEALER-INSTALLED OPTIONS 1 2 3 4 5 Instant trigger - a heavier impact detected by the on-board shock sensor Door data bus trigger Optional sensor Ignition trigger NOTE: The Warn Away response will not report on the LED. Programming Options Programming options control your system's normal, operational setup. Most options do not require additional parts, but some may require installation labor. [. . . ] Trigger or Triggered Sequence: The "setting off" or "tripping" of the alarm. A Triggered Sequence consists of the siren sounding and the parking lights flashing for 30 or 60 seconds. Valet Switch: A small, push-button switch mounted inside the vehicle, at a location determined by the installer. This switch is used to override the alarm when a transmitter is lost or damaged.
