Note: The 270 alarm sytem is a compact unit where the alarm and siren are combind, the 278
alarm system is a modular unit where the alarm and siren are seperate. The modular system is
normally used when there is limited space in the engine compart.

4 - ALARM SYSTEM OPERATION
4.1 - ALARM SYSTEM ARMING/DISARMIG
To arm the alarm, press the lock or deadlock** button on the vehicles original remote control; direction
indicators lights flash twice* and the alarm may give two acoustic tones* to indicate that the system is
now armed.
Once armed, the alarm system will operate the comfort closure**/window closure* if these functions
have been incorporated.
The red LED in the receptacle will remain on for 30 seconds (pre-alarm time), then begin to flash to
indicate the alarm system is fully armed.
To disarm the alarm, press the unlock button on the vehicle original remote control or insert a valid
electronic key into the receptacle socket; direction indicators lights will flash once* and the alarm may
give one acoustic tone* to indicate that the alarm system is now disarmed.
Ø at least 3 seconds should pass between locking/unlocking the vehicle, otherwise you may fail
to transmit the new arm/disarm status.
Ø it is possible to use the electronic key to disarm the alarm but not to arm it.
Ø comfort closure is a feature that may already be incorporated into the original remote control of
the vehicle. Check vehicle user guide for operation.
4.2 - ALARM CONDITION
When fully armed if a sensor is activated, the system will generate an alarm condition: direction
indicators flash and the siren sounds for 30 seconds (alarm cycle). At the end of the alarm cycle, if the
same sensor is still activated, the alarm will generate an alarm cycle again.
4.3 - ALARM CYCLE LIMITATION
The system will automatically exclude the sensor, which has generated 8 alarm cycles in one
armed period. All the other sensors will continue to protect the vehicle. The maximum number of
pag. 6
ISUT270-278UK.p6512/05/2006, 10.246
ENGLISH
alarm cycles for every sensor is 8, except for power supply interruption sensor (10 alarm cycles).
Note: If a sensor continues to remain activated whilst in the pre-alarm time, the system will automatically exclude this sensor at the end of the pre-alarm time and not generate an alarm condition.
When the alarm system is next disarmed a shorter than normal flash of the direction indicator
lights and an accoustic tone will be produced to indicate that a sensor was activated whilst arming.
To identify the sensor that was activated, consult the “ ALARM TRIGGER SIGNALLING”
4.4 - SENSOR SELF-TESTING
This facility confirms the correct operation of interior/doors/boot/bonnet detection circuits. This is
indicated by a series of audible tones/illumination of the direction indicators and a series of flashing of the dashboard LED, when one of the circuits is triggered within the pre-alarm time. To self
test the detection circuits:
DOORS/BOOT/BONNET DETECTION CIRCUITS
1Arm the alarm with the remote control.
2Unlock the vehicle manually with a key***.
3Within the first 30 seconds of arming the alarm open and close all doors/boot/bonnet. The
alarm will respond with 3 audible tones, 3 flashes of the direction indicators and the LED will
go out. If vehicle is fitted with a courtesy light delay system, you may have to wait for the courtesy light to go out before testing the next doors/boot/bonnet detection circuits.
INTERIOR DETECTION CIRCUIT (Ultrasonic/microwave sensors)
1 Sit inside the vehicle.
2Arm the alarm with the remote control.
3Within the first 30 seconds of arming the alarm, create movement in front of the interior sen-
sors (ultrasonics - normally mounted at top of windscreen). The alarm will respond with 3 audible tones, 1 flash of the direction indicators and the LED will go out.
Ø 4 seconds must pass between each detection circuit tested before the next self-test signals will
be produced.
Ø turning the ignition key on or disconnecting the power supply to the alarm system whilst in the
pre alarm time or when fully armed will cause an immediate alarm condition.

4.5 - ALARM TRIGGER SIGNALLING
If an alarm condition occurred whilst you were not present, the alarm will signal it through a brief visual
and acoustic disarm signal instead of a long disarm signal.
You will be able to identify the exact alarm cause thanks to the “ ALARM TRIGGER HISTORY” function.
4.6 - ALARM TRIGGER HISTORY
It is possible to know the last 5 alarm triggers which have occurred by turning on the ignition key 3
times within 5 seconds while the alarm system is disarmed.
Each alarm cause is associated to an identification flash code:
FLASH CODES
2 FLASHES/PAUSE:the ULTRASONIC sensor generated an alarm condition
3 FLASHES/PAUSE:the DOOR/HATCH sensor generated an alarm condition
4 FLASHES/PAUSE:the BONNET sensor generated an alarm condition
5 FLASHES/PAUSE:the IGNITION KEY sensor generated an alarm condition
6 FLASHES/PAUSE:the POWER SUPPLY (270 only) sensor generated an alarm condition
7 FLASHES/PAUSE:the BOOT/ADDITIONAL sensor generated an alarm condition
The alarm cause is displayed by the LED flashing as many times as the alarm identification flash code,
e.g.:
ALARM CAUSE
Door-hatch
opening
alarm
At first the most recent alarm identification flash code will be displayed, followed by a short pause
and then the second-last and so on until the fifth one; the display ends automatically and an
acoustic tone will be heard.
