Back-Up Battery & Pre-Warning Shock Detection
Back-Up Battery:
This system includes a 9-volt alkaline battery with a slide bracket holder. The 9-volt battery is all
that is required to provide alternate power to operate the alarm in the event the vehicle's battery is
disconnected. A built-in protection circuit will not allow the 9-volt battery to back feed into your
vehicle's electrical system or to flash the lights when the alarm is triggered, thereby conserving the
9-volt battery's power.
Imagine the look on a thief's face when your vehicle's hood is opened, triggering the alarm, and
cuts the vehicle's battery but the alarm keeps sounding! Also, in the event the siren's wires are cut, the
starter interrupt circuit will stay activated and prevent the vehicle from being driven away.
Replacement 9-volt alkaline batteries can be purchased anywhere batteries are sold. We
recommend the battery be replaced with another alkaline battery every 18 months or after the 9-volt
battery has operated the alarm on its own for any length of time. Under the following conditions, a new
9-volt alkaline battery's life is anticipated to be approximately:
1. 4 days as the only power source to the alarm while in the armed condition with the L.E.D. light
flashing. The accessory sensor device will not function when the 9-volt battery is in use.
2. 50 triggered alarm cycles. A triggered alarm cycle is the 60-second period after the alarm is
triggered, where the siren is sounding, the starter interrupt is activated, and the system
automatically turns off and re-arms to again protect the vehicle.
3. 100 separate transmitter arm and disarm activations.
4. 2 years if the 9-volt battery circuit has not been activated.
Pre-Warning Shock Detection Circuit:
This circuit requires connection to a detection sensor device. When the sensor is triggered, the
security system will respond by chirping the siren 3 times, flashing the lights once and locking all the
doors. After this circuit has been triggered 5 times it will automatically shutdown until the alarm
system is re-armed again. This will prevent the alarm from being a nuisance to the general public.
Programmable Functions

BLUE LOOP WIRE. (AUTOMATIC LAST DOOR ARMING):
Must open the alarm brain unit to locate this blue loop wire.
Note: All doors must have proper connection of alarm blue, green or violet wire to activate the last
door arming timer. Refer to pages 17, 18 & 19 for proper connection.
With Last Door Arming Turned "On" (Blue loop wire is uncut) the alarm will arm
automatically 30 seconds after the last door is closed. Alarm may also be armed immediately from
the transmitter.
With Last Door Arming Turned "OFF" (Blue loop wire is cut) the alarm can only be armed
from the transmitter.
GREEN LOOP WIRE. (12 VOLT CURRENT SENSING): When alarm is armed, current sensing
can detect a positive current draw from the vehicle battery. (Example: Dome light comes on when
door is opened or brake lights come on when you step on the brake pedal). This will trigger "On"
alarm. Note: Vehicles with door handle touch sensor that turns on dome lights, requires connection
of Green or Violet wire to the door circuit and requires this current sensing feature to be turned
off.
