Congratulations on your purchase of a quality Silencer security system. Your new Silencer security system has been designed to provide years of trouble free service when operated and maintained in the manner set forth in this manual. Your full knowledge of the features provided by your security system and their methods of operation are essential for day-to-day usage. Please take a moment to read through this manual and become familiar with the features that pertain to your security system. Located at the back of this booklet, we have provided a listing of all the upgrade features available for your security system.

The Model Number of your Silencer Security System is ALA200FKE

The primary function of this system is to provide added value to your existing OEM keyless entry or keyless entry/security system. The ALA200FKE can also be used as a stand alone Silencer remote keyless entry and security system. Please read and follow the procedures enclosed to operate your system.

Determine the Control Device

Your Silencer ALA200FKE can be controlled from the OEM installed remote system or from a SIlencer remote transmitter. Determine which device is controlling your system and proceed to that section of this manual. In some cases, the ALA200FKE will have 2 different controllers. Read the information below as it pertains to all controllers.

System Control by the OEM Keyless Entry Transmitter (Basic Operation)

If the vehicle you purchased came with remote keyless entry transmitters, two of the buttons on the transmitter will be used to lock and unlock your vehicle. These buttons will have the words “LOCK” and “UNLOCK” printed or engraved on them or they will have pictures of a padlock in a locked and unlocked position (see illustration at above). Use the lock and unlock buttons on the transmitter to control your new Silencer security system in the following manner.

Manual Arming and Disarming

ALA200FKE Primary Feature Operation

Other than arming and disarming your security system, the ALA200FKE has a host of features that enhance ownership and the level of security provided by the ALA200FKE system. Please take a moment to become familiar with the operation of these features as you may need to use them at some point in time. To practice operating these features, repeat the enclosed procedure for each feature as it is written or illustrated.

System Override/Valet

A patented removable switch is used to override the security system in the event that the transmitters are lost or fail to operate and to put the security system in non-operational mode (valet) for vehicle servicing etc.

Override Operation (security system is armed)

1. Enter the vehicle, the security systems will begin sounding at this point, and place the override switch into the switch housing. Make sure that the switch button is in the OUT position.

2. Place the ignition key into the ignition switch and turn the ignition switch to the ON position.

3. Within 5 seconds of turning the ignition key ON, press the valet switch button IN until it locks.

4. The vehicle horn will stop sounding.

5. The LED indicator will be solid red.

The security system is overridden and is now in the Valet Mode.

Valet Operation (security system is already disarmed)

1. Place the valet switch into the switch holder making sure that the switch button is in the OFF position (switch button is out).

2. Turn the ignition key to the ON position.

3. Within 5 seconds of turning the ignition key ON, push IN the valet switch.

4. The LED will be on solid indicating that the security system is in the Valet Mode.

Note 1: If the valet switch is already in the ON position when you turn ON the ignition key, the valet function will be bypassed. Turn OFF the ignition key, set the switch to the OFF position and try again. Note 2: If you fail to push IN the valet switch within 5 seconds of turning ON the ignition key, the valet function will be locked out. Turn OFF the ignition key, set the switch to the OFF position and try again.

Starter Disable (Optional Feature)

If your Silencer security system has been installed with the optional starter interrupt relay, This relay will break the connection between your ignition key and the starter on your vehicle. To test this feature, repeat the following procedure:

1. Enter the vehicle and close all the entrances.

Built-In Dual Zone Shock/ Impact Detector

Your SIlencer ALA200FKE has a built-in “Dual Zone” type shock detector. At all times when your system is armed, the built-in shock sensor will detect intrusion attempts at two levels.

Level 1: Light impacts to your vehicle at a non-threatening level will cause the built-in internal beeper to beep 3 times. These three beeps are a pre-warning message to a would-be thief.

Level 2: Heavy impacts to your vehicle such as breaking a window or breaking out the door lock cylinder will cause a full alarm condition and the vehicle horn will start honking.

Note: The removable valet switch can only be inserted into the valet switch housing one way. Do not force the switch or bend the switch terminals.

Optional Features

hirp Delete

The ALA200FKE control module can be programmed by the dealer so there will be no arm/disarm status chirps. The four chirp tamper disarm warning indicator will always be on for your safety and awareness.

To test this feature:

1. Turn off the ignition key.

2. Remove the key.

3. Exit the vehicle and close all the doors.

4. The doors will automatically lock when the system arms.

Note: Leaving a door open or leaving the ignition key in the ON position will stop the automatic arming/locking timers.

WARNING!

• Do not leave your keys inside the vehicle at gas stations.

• Always use your valet switch to put your system in valet mode when you go to the car wash.

• If your vehicle has more than one driver, make sure everyone is familiar with the automatic arming/locking system to prevent the vehicle keys from being locked inside the vehicle.

Optional Disarm / Unlock Methods

There comes a time for every vehicle owner when he/she accidentally locks the keys inside the vehicle. In addition, certain individuals who run, boat, swim, motorcycle or go night clubbing on a regular basis “wish” the could leave their keys in the vehicle locked and secure. Your ALA200FKE can provide a variety of optional “Disarm / Unlock” devices which will allow you to lock the keys in your vehicle while it is secured and still be able to enter the vehicle.

Tap-Code Disarm Device

An optional tap sensor can be added to your ALA200FKE system that will provide a secondary means to disarm the ALA200FKE and unlock the doors. With this device, tapping out a numerical code on the vehicle glass will provide easy entrance into the vehicle.

Note: Automatic arming and automatic locking is required to be programmed on.

Digital Tap Code Device

An easier alternative to tapping an entire code out on the vehicle glass is the “Digital” tap code device. When you wake up this device, it will display numbers and you simply tap on the glass once to select each of the numbers that make up your code

Note: Automatic arming and automatic locking is required to be programmed on.

Digital Keypad Entry

A digital RF keypad transmitter can be attached anywhere on your vehicle. Hidden or out in plain sight. When you return to your vehicle, simply press the numbered keypad with your special code and the ALA200FKE will disarm and unlock the vehicle doors.
