Glossary of terms Control Module: The "brain" of your security system. Usually hidden underneath the dash area of the vehicle. It houses the microprocessor that monitors your vehicle and controls all of the security system's functions. Fault-Proof Starter Interrupt: Located on-board the control module, this is an automatic switch controlled by the security system that prevents the vehicle's starter from cranking whenever the security system is armed. The vehicle is never prevented from cranking when the security system is disarmed, in Valet Mode, or if the starter interrupt fails. Input: Any physical connection to the security system. An input can be provided through a sensor, pinswitch or by existing systems in the vehicle, such as ignition or courtesy lights. LED: A red light mounted inside the vehicle, at a location determined by the installer. The LED indicates the status of your system and also reports triggers and faults in the system or sensors. Shock Sensor: A dual-stage shock sensor, located on-board the control module, that detects impacts to the vehicle. Siren: A noise generating device, usually installed in the engine compartment of the vehicle. The siren generates the chirps and tones heard when the system is triggered. © 2004 Directed Electronics, Inc. 21

Control Module: The "brain" of your security system. Usually
hidden underneath the dash area of the vehicle. It houses the
microprocessor that monitors your vehicle and controls all of
the security system’s functions.
Fault-Proof Starter Interrupt:
Located on-board the control
module, this is an automatic switch controlled by the security
system that prevents the vehicle's starter from cranking when-
ever the security system is armed. The vehicle is never
prevented from cranking when the security system is dis-
armed, in Valet Mode, or if the starter interrupt fails.
Input:
Any physical connection to the security system. An
input can be provided through a sensor, pinswitch or by exist-
ing systems in the vehicle, such as ignition or courtesy lights.
LED:
A red light mounted inside the vehicle, at a location
determined by the installer. The LED indicates the status of
your system and also reports triggers and faults in the system
or sensors.
Shock Sensor:
A dual-stage shock sensor, located on-board the
control module, that detects impacts to the vehicle.
Siren:
A noise generating device, usually installed in the
engine compartment of the vehicle. The siren generates the
chirps and tones heard when the system is triggered.
