glossary of terms

Control Unit: The “brain” of your system. Usually hidden underneath the dash area of the vehicle. The control unit houses the microprocessor which monitors your vehicle and controls all system functions.

Fault-Proof Starter Interrupt: An automatic switch controlled by your system that 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 if the starter interrupt switch itself fails. Your system has feature- ready circuitry for the starter interrupt, however installation may require additional labor.

Input: A physical connection to the system. An input can be provided by a sensor, pinswitch or by existing systems in the vehicle, such as ignition or courtesy lights.

LED: A red light mounted at a discretionary location inside the vehicle. It is used to indicate the status of your system.

Shock Sensor: This system has a dual zone shock sensor. This sensor is mounted in the vehicle and designed to pick up impacts to the vehicle or glass.

Transmitter: A hand-held, remote control which operates the various functions of your system.
