transmitter functions

This system uses computer-based code learning to learn the transmitter buttons. This makes it possible to assign any transmitter button to any system function. The transmitter initially comes programmed with standard configuration, but may also be customized using the CliffNet Wizard PC program. The buttons in all of the instructions in this manual correspond to a standard configuration transmitter.

warning! Operation of the remote start module if the the vehicle starts in gear is contrary to its intended mode of operation. Operating the remote start system under these conditions may result in property damage or personal injury. Immediately cease the use of the unit and repair or disconnect the installed remote start module. Clifford will not be held responsible or pay for installation or reinstallation costs.

using your system

The buttons used in the instructions in this manual correspond to the

standard transmitter configuration. If your transmitter has been custom

configured, the icons on your transmitter buttons may not correspond

to the indicated functions.

arming with transmitter

You can activate, or arm, the system by pressing on your trans-

mitter for one second. When the system arms, you will hear two short

siren sounds, or chirps, and see the parking lights flash twice. The LED

will begin to flash steadily. If the vehicle’s power door locks have been

connected to the system, the doors will lock.

While the system is armed, the LED status indicator will flash approxi-

mately once per second showing that the system is actively protecting

your vehicle. If you hear more than two chirps when arming, refer to

the Diagnostics section of this guide. These extra chirps confirm a mal-

function autobypass.

arming without transmitter

The security system also can be programmed to arm itself without a

transmitter (called passive arming). If the system is programmed for

passive arming, it will automatically arm 30 seconds after the ignition

is turned off and the system sees you leave the vehicle by opening and

closing a door. The siren will chirp twice and the lights will flash twice

five seconds after the last door has been closed. The system is not actu-

ally armed at that point. The system arms and the doors lock (if con-

nected and programmed for passive locking) at 30 seconds, but the

siren will not chirp. The early chirps provide you with a 25-second warn-

ing prior to arming.

When armed, your vehicle is protected as follows:

The LED will flash as a visible theft deterrent.

Light impacts will trigger the Warning Zone signal. When triggered, the siren will sound for a few seconds.

Heavy impacts will trigger the system. The triggered sequence is 30, 60, or 90 seconds of constant siren sounding and flashing parking lights.

If a protected entry (door, hood, or trunk) is opened, the system will immediately trigger the siren and flash the parking lights.

disarming

To disarm the system, press . You will hear a chirp and the parking lights will flash once. If the power locks are connected to the system, the doors will unlock. If the siren chirps three times when disarming, refer to the Diagnostics section of this guide. This is called Tamper Alert. If the siren is active when the system is disarmed you will hear two chirps but the system is not disarmed. (Refer to the Remote Siren Silencing section of this guide.) However, if the alarm completes the full trigger cycle when disarmed you will hear three chirps.

nnoottee::

If any protected entry point (a door or a switch-protected trunk or hood) is open, the system will not passively arm. Additionally, each time a protected entry is triggered during the arming countdown, the 30-second countdown starts over.

disarming without a transmitter

This feature allows you to disarm the system without the transmitter should it be lost, damaged, or disabled. In order to disarm without a transmitter, you must have the vehicle’s ignition key, know where the PlainView 2 Valet switch is located, and have the PIN code. Be sure to check with the installer for the location of the PlainView 2 Valet switch. Please refer to the Disarm/Valet Mode section of this guide for instructions to enter the pin code.

remote siren silencing

This system offers remote siren silencing. Remote siren silencing is a feature that makes it possible to silence and reset the system when it is triggering without disarming the system. If the system is triggered and the siren has been sounding, press on the transmitter to stop the trigger and return the unit to the armed state. This prevents you from disabling the system should you wish to silence it without visually checking the vehicle. After resetting the system, press again to disarm the system.

transmitter chirp muting

To temporarily turn off the arm or disarm chirps, use transmitter chirp

muting. Simply press on the transmitter, and the confirmation

chirp(s) will be eliminated for that one operation only. The parking

lights will flash to confirm the arm/disarm command. If you want the

arm/disarm chirps turned off permanently, please refer to the User-

Selectable Features section of this guide.

transmitter sensor disable

To temporarily disable a sensor input, arm the system, press

twice and then . The lights will flash four times and

all sensor warn away ones are bypassed. Press the buttons again; the

lights flash four times and both warn away and full trigger sensor

zones are bypassed until the system is disarmed. This can be performed

anytime the system is armed.

1. Arm the system.

2. Press twice and then .

3. The lights will flash four times; all warn away zones are now bypassed.

4. Transmit the sensor bypass channel again.

5. The lights will flash four more times; the sensor warn away and full trigger zones are now bypassed.

6. The sensor zones will reset when disarmed.

intellistart and smartwindows sensor bypass

When the system sees a command to start the vehicle via the

Intellistart, it bypasses sensors and will continue to bypass these sensors

until the remote start shuts down.

When the system sees a SmartWindows command for up or down

operation, the unit will automatically bypass all sensors until the win-

dows complete their operation.

auxiliary channel bypass

Alarm sensors will be bypassed while a pulsed or timed auxiliary output

channel is active.

panic mode with smart door locking

If you are threatened in or near your vehicle, you can attract attention

by triggering the system with your transmitter! Just press for

two seconds to enter Panic Mode. The siren will sound and the park-

ing lights will flash for the programmed duration. If the ignition is on,

the doors will lock; if the ignition is off, the doors will unlock. To stop

Panic Mode at any time press on the transmitter again.

disarm/valet mode

Entering your pin code using the PlainView 2 Valet switch allows you

to disarm the system or enter valet mode without using the transmit-

ter. In valet mode, the security system will not arm, even with the trans-

mitter, but all convenience functions (door locks, trunk release, etc.)

will continue to work normally.

To disarm or enter Valet Mode:

1. Turn the ignition on.

2. Enter PIN code (factory setting is 2 - this proce dure is described later in this manual).

3. After the last digit of the pin code is entered:

a. To disarm the system: press and release

b. To enter valet mode: Press and hold

for

three seconds.

The LED status indicator will light steadily when Valet Mode has been

entered.

To exit Valet Mode:

1. Turn the ignition on.

2. Enter PIN code.

3. After the last digit press for one second.

The LED status indicator will turn off when valet

mode has been exited.

To enter or exit Valet Mode:

To enter or exit Valet Mode, press twice and then .

The LED status indicator will light solid when Valet Mode is entered, or

will turn off when Valet Mode is exited.

one-time auto-arming bypass

This will bypass the auto arm feature once only.

1. With the key, turn the ignition on, then off within two seconds.

2. The siren will chirp once to confirm auto arming bypass.

3. The system will not auto arm.

During auto arming bypass the system will not roll up the windows if

SmartWindows is connected, and the accessory output will not auto-

activate when using the remote to arm the system.

low battery warning

When the transmitter battery is low, the system will generate a low-

pitched tone when disarmed.

multiple event total recall

This will report the last eight system triggers.

1. Press and hold of the PlainView 2 Valet switch.

2. While still holding , arm and disarm the system, then release the button.

3. The LED will start to blink to indicate the most recent trigger and proceed down to the eighth trigger. If fewer than eight triggers are stored in memory, the LED will blink continuous-

nnoottee::

The system will revert to normal auto arming when the system

sees the ignition on for at least three seconds.

ly until the system is armed/disarmed using the transmitter or the ignition is turned on. For more information, please refer to the Table of Zones section of this guide.

false alarm control technology (FACT II)

Your system offers FACT II, a feature that prevents annoying

repetitive trigger sequences due to a faulty sensor or environmental

conditions such as thunder, jackhammers, airport noise, etc.

Here’s how it works: The alarm triggers three times. If the same sensor

is triggering the alarm and the first and the third triggers are within 60

minutes of each other, FACT

II will interpret this pattern of triggers as

false alarms. After the third trigger, FACT

II ignores, or bypasses, that

sensor (along with any other sensors sharing the same zone) for 60

minutes.

If the bypassed sensor tries to trigger the system while it is being

bypassed, the 60-minute bypass period will start over. This ensures that

a sensor that continually triggers will remain bypassed.

Doors are covered by FACT

II differently; if the alarm is triggered by an

open door for three full cycles, the doors will be bypassed until the trig-

ger ceases. FACT

II is programmable. See the Programming Options

section of this guide.

nnoottee::

Arming and disarming the system does not reset this function! The only way to reset a bypassed zone is for 60 minutes or to turn on the ignition. If testing your system, it is important to remember that the FACT II programming can cause zones to be bypassed and appear to stop working. If you wish to clear the FACT II memory, turn the ignition key on.

select siren sounds

To customize siren sounds, please refer to the selectable siren sounds

feature in the User Selectable Features grid. Once in programming

mode, press on the transmitter to begin playback of the avail-

able sounds.

Press on the PlainView 2 Valet switch while playing the desired

sound to add that sound; press while playing the desired sound to

delete that sound.

diagnostics

The microprocessor at the heart of your security system is constantly monitoring all of the switches and sensors that are connected to it. It detects any faulty switches and sensors and prevents them from disabling the entire system. The microprocessor will also record and report any triggers that occurred during your absence.

arming diagnostics

If the system is armed while an input is active (door open, sensor trig-

gering, etc.) the unit will chirp twice when arming and then four more

times five seconds later. This is called Bypass Notification.

nnoottee::

Additional tones can be accessed through the CliffNet Wizard.

The security system will ignore the input that was active when the sys-

tem was armed, until the input goes away. Three seconds later the sys-

tem will monitor that input normally.

1. If a door is open the siren will chirp 4 times – 5 seconds after the arming chirps.

2. If a sensor is active the siren will chirp 4 times – 10 seconds after the arming chirps.

disarming diagnostics

Extra disarm chirps are the Tamper Alert. If three chirps are heard when

disarming, the system was triggered in your absence. If three chirps are

heard, the LED status indicator will indicate which zone was involved

when you turn the ignition on (see the Table of Zones section). The sys-

tem will retain this information in its memory. Refer to the Multiple

Event Total Recall section of this guide.

The zone number is the number of LED flashes used by the system to identify a specific input. The standard input assignments are listed below, along with spaces to write in any optional sensors or switches you have had installed. If the Warning Zone response is triggered, the LED will not report it.

anti-code grabbing (ACG)

This unit features Anti-Code Grabbing (ACG) with Random Code

Encryption. This means the receiver and transmitters each use a math-

ematical formula called an algorithm to change their code each time

the transmitter is used. This technology has been developed to increase

the security of the unit. The control unit knows what the next codes

should be.

high frequency

Your system transmits and receives at 433 MHz. This provides a cleaner

spectrum with less interference and a more stable signal.

smart power up II

This security system will store its current state to non-volatile memory.

If power is lost and then reconnected the system will recall the stored

state from memory. This means if the unit is in Valet Mode and the bat-

tery is disconnected for any reason, such as servicing the car, when the

battery is reconnected the unit will still be in Valet Mode. This applies

to all states of the system including arm, disarm, and Valet Mode.

power saver mode

Your system will automatically enter Power Saver Mode while armed or

in Valet Mode, after a period of time in which no operation has been

performed. This lowers the current draw on the vehicle's battery and

prevents the system from draining the battery. Power Saver Mode takes

over under the following conditions:

Power Saver when the system is armed: After the system has been armed for 48 hours, the LED will flash at half its normal rate, decreasing the system's current draw.

Power Saver in Valet Mode: When the system enters Valet Mode the LED illuminates steadily. If the vehicle is not used (ignition is not turned on) for a period of one hour while the system is in Valet Mode, the LED will shut off. If the system remains in Valet Mode, the LED will come back on and restart the 1 hour timer the next time the ignition is turned off.

programming

cliffnet wizard installation software programming

Cliffnet Wizard provides access to all available system features and

some that are not available when manually programming with the

Valet switch. Cliffnet Wizard is compatible with Microsoft Windows

95/98/2000/ME/XP/NT so most programming operations can be

accomplished by pointing and clicking with a mouse. This eliminates

the need for programming grids and lengthy programming sequences.

glossary of terms

Control Unit:

The "brain" of your system. Usually hidden underneath

the dash area of the vehicle. It houses the microprocessor which mon-

itors your vehicle and controls all of the system's functions.

Input

: A physical connection to the system. An input can be provided

by a sensor, pinswitch or through an existing system in the vehicle, such

as ignition or courtesy lights.

LED

: Blue light mounted somewhere in the vehicle. It is used to indi-

cate the status of your system. It is also used to report triggers and

faults in the system or sensors.

PlainView 2 Valet Switch

: A small two-button switch mounted some-

where inside the vehicle. It is used to override the alarm when a trans-

mitter is lost or damaged, or to enter or exit Valet mode.

Siren

: Noise generating device usually installed in the engine compart-

ment of the vehicle. It is responsible for generating the "chirps" you

hear, as well as the six tones you hear while the alarm is triggered.

Transmitter

: Hand-held transmitter which operates the various func-

tions of your system.

Trigger or Triggered Sequence

This is what happens when the alarm

goes off or trips. The triggered response of your system consists of the

siren sounding and parking light flashing for the programmed duration.

UltraSecure Immobilizer

: A feature on the module which prevents the

vehicle’s engine from operating whenever the system is armed. The

vehicle is never prevented from running when the system is disarmed,

in Valet mode, or loss of power.

Warning Zone Response:

Lighter impacts or movement close to the vehi-

cle will generate the Warning Zone response. It consists of a warning

siren blast or beep.

Zone

: A zone is a separate input that the alarm can recognize as

unique. Each input to the system is connected to a particular zone. Two

or more inputs often share the same zone.

security & convenience expansions

Here we have listed only some of the many expansion options avail-

able. Please contact your dealer for a complete list of all the options

available to you.

Backup Battery:

The 520T keeps the system armed, triggers the alarm and

keeps the immobilization circuits active if main battery power is discon-

nected.

Power Trunk Release: The button can operate a factory power

release for the vehicle’s trunk or hatch. (An optional relay may be re-

quired.) If the factory release is not power activated, the Directed®'s

522T trunk release solenoid can often be added.

Power Window Control:

Automatic power window control is provided

with the SmartWindows system.

Remote Start System:

For the ultimate in convenience, the IntelliStart

remote start system can start your vehicle, monitor engine functions,

and power your climate control system with a push of a button! Over-

rev protection, open-hood lockout, brake pedal shutoff, and automat-

ic timer shutoff are all included.
