SUBJECT:
THEFT ALARM OPERATIONAL CHARACTERISTICS
PURPOSE
This bulletin describes two theft alarm system operational characteristics.
DETAILS
1. If the lift-gate is opened by the key and the lift-gate is held down (not allowed to "pop-up") the theft alarm system will rearm in less than 2 seconds. Then, when the lift-gate is finally opened, the alarm will sound. This is a normal function.
If the lift gate is not opened within two seconds of unlocking, the theft alarm system "thinks" that a break-in is being attempted. It senses that the "disarm" circuit has been activated for the lift-gate but a corresponding lift-gate "open" signal was not received.
A customer may comment that "At times when the lift-gate is opened the alarm will activate." Explain to the customer that if the lift-gate is not allowed to "pop-up" the system will rearm and activate. It is possible in some situations, a customer may inadvertently hold the lift gate down.
2. When unlocking the doors, the key must be turned to approximately the three o'clock position. The door will unlock if the key is turned to the 1 o'clock position but the theft alarm system may not disarm.
Reminder:
When unlocking the doors turn the key to approximately the 3 o'clock position. If turned incompletely, the alarm system may not disarm.
