The vehicle doors are protected differently by NPC
™
. If your secu-
rity system is triggered by an open door for three, full 30-second
cycles (one and one half minutes), the system will bypass the
doors until the trigger ceases.
NOTE: Arming and disarming the system does not reset the 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 NPC™ can cause zones to be bypassed
and appear to not work. If five chirps are heard when disarming the sys-
tem, NPC™ has been engaged. To clear the NPC™ memory, simply 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 trig-
gers that occur when you are away from your vehicle.
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 a few seconds later 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
