Executive VIP 4000

Security System For Factory Installed Keyless Entry Systems

MODEL: K9-FIVE

I n t r o d u c t i o nT a b l e O f C o n t e n t s

Congratulations on your purchase of an Executive Security system. The Executive series of personal convenience and security products are designed by Omega Research and Development, a leader in vehicle security since 1976. When beginning to use this system, you will be surprised at its user-friendly design, considering the system delivers features and benefits that not only anticipate but exceed your expectations.

The Executive VIP 4000 is a fully-featured antitheft system which can detect an unauthorized entry and respond by flashing the exterior lights, honking the horn and relocking the doors (if an optional interface is installed). The VIP 4000 becomes armed when you use your existing factory remote keyless entry transmitter to lock your doors, and becomes disarmed when your transmitter unlocks the doors. An Easy Valet allows you to disarm and temporaly override the security system in the event of your transmitter becoming inoperable or being lost.

Being that the VIP 4000 is a universal add-on security system for existing keyless entry systems, the exact operations of the VIP 4000 are determined in some extent to the particular vehicle and/or keyless entry system. Please remember that this guide outlines average operating parameters of the system. Please ask your new car salesperson to arrange a demonstration of the operation of your new security system.

In learning how to operate your security system, please become familiar with the following three principal components: your existing factory Keyless Entry Remote Transmitter, the Red LED Status Indicator and the Easy Valet

Switch, in conjunction with the ignition key,

DisarmingUsing The Transmitter: The VIP 4000 may be actively disarmed at any time

while the system is armed by using the existing factory keyless entry transmitter to unlock the doors. The security system will respond by honking the horn or chirping the optional siren twice and turning on the parking lights. The parking lights will automatically turn off 60 seconds later unless one of the following occur: 1) the lights will turn off 10 seconds after a door has been opened, or 2) the lights will turn off instantly if the ignition switch is turned "On". This unique feature lights the area around the vehicle, lighting the way to your car.

Note: If the security system was triggered and reset while you were away from the vehicle

the disarm confirmation changes to four horn honks (or siren chirps) and four parking light flashes before the parking lights turn on for the normal 60 seconds.

Note: The Automatic Rearming feature will rearm the system 90 seconds after disarming

unless a door is opened. If the Last Door Arming feature has not been selected, this will stop any further automatic arming.

If the Last Door Arming feature has been selected, however, once a door has been opened, shutting the door will start this process, indicated by a horn honk (or siren chirp) and the parking lights flashing off once (the parking lights stay on for 10 seconds after opening the door). Turning the ignition switch "On" will prevent the security system from arming 30 seconds after the door was shut upon entering the vehicle.

Disarming The System Without The Transmitter: In the event the transmitter is lost, damaged, or its batteries become exhausted, the Easy Valet can be used to disarm the system. The Easy ValetTM Switch is a small push-button that is usually

Active Arming: The VIP 4000 may be actively armed at any time when the ignition

switch is "Off" by using the existing factory keyless entry transmitter to lock the doors. A passive form of arming, Automatic Last Door Arming, is optional and is discussed on Page

14. The system will respond with one horn honk or one optional siren chirp and one parking light flash unless the Active Arming Bypass feature is activated.

The VIP 4000 features an Automatic Rearming feature which prevents accidental disarming. This commonly occurs when the transmitter button is accidentally pressed while walking away from the vehicle as the keys are being put into a pocket or purse. This feature is discussed in detail on Page 12.

Active Arming Bypass: Upon active arming (using the transmitter), if the hood and trunk protection circuit or if an optional sensor is in a triggered state, the VIP 4000 will still arm. However, it's confirmation response will change to three horn honks (or siren chirps)

S y s t e m A c t i v a t e d

and three parking light flashes. This will indicate that the trunk or hood is not secure or that an optional sensor is in a state that normally occurs only when the sensor detects an intrusion or shock to the vehicle. This allows securing of the trunk or hood, or inspection of the sensor.

Please note that the other protection circuits, such as the doors and current sensing (explained on Page 15), are fully operational and will activate the security system if violated. The system will remain operational except for the bypassed circuit(s). Thus, if the Active Arming Bypass is activated by a defective sensing switch or optional sensor, the VIP 4000 can still be used until the problem is corrected. If the bypassed circuit is corrected while the system is armed, protection will resume on that circuit.

located in unabtrusive location accessible to the driver. In addition to providing a method to disarm the system without the transmitter, this switch also enters the VIP 4000 into Valet Mode, which is discussed on Page 9. To disarm, follow this procedure:

STEP 1. With the system in the armed condition, enter via the driver's door (be

aware that the security system will trigger the instant the door is opened,

sounding the horn or optional siren and flashing the parking lights). STEP 2. Use the ignition key to turn "on" the ignition switch. STEP 3. Within 5 seconds, press the Easy Valet Switch. The security system will

instantly disarm.

S y s t e m A r m e d

While the VIP 4000 is armed, the Red LED Status Indicator will be flashing. In addition to visual deterrence, the LED Status Indicator shows events that have occurred or actions that will take place in the system's operation. It is normally mounted in a conspicuous location easily seen from outside the vehicle.

The Starter Interrupt output will also activate. The Starter Interrupt will prevent the engine from starting when an attempt is made to start the engine. To minimize battery drain, this device does not draw electrical current unless the ignition switch is turned to the "Start" position.

While armed, the VIP 4000 monitors all protected circuits for an intrusion attempt. If an optional sensor is utilized, the sensor will also be activated to monitor intrusion attempts. Sensors are available which include those that monitor shock to the vehicle, detect changes in atmospheric pressure within the vehicle, and radar sensors that can detect motion inside and outside the vehicle.
