Diagnostics
The microprocessor at the heart of your system is constantly monitor-
ing the switches and sensors connected to it. It detects any faulty
switches and sensors and prevents them from disabling the entire sys-
tem. The microprocessor also records and reports any triggers that
occurred during your absence.
Arming diagnostics
If the system is armed with an input active (door open, sensor trigger-
ing, etc.) the unit will chirp once when arming and then one more time
a few seconds later. This is called bypass notification.
The system will ignore the input that was active when it was armed until
the input is no longer active. Three seconds later it will monitor that
input normally. For example, if your car has interior light exit delay, and
you arm the system before the interior light goes out, you may get
bypass notification. Once the light goes out, however, the doors are
monitored normally.
Disarming diagnostics
Extra disarm chirps are the tamper alert. If four chirps are heard when
disarming, the system was triggered in your absence. If five chirps are
heard, a zone was triggered so many times that NPC has bypassed that
zone. In either case, the status LED will indicate which zone was
involved (see Table of Zones section). The system will retain this infor-
mation in its memory, and chirp four or five times each time it is dis-
armed, until the next time the ignition key is turned on.
NNoottee::
Bypass notification will not occur if chirps have been
programmed OFF.
