Operating the Code Alarm Elite 2000 Alarm System

Remote Controlled Functions

Remote controlled door lock/unlock, illuminated entry/exit and remote controlled trunk release may require additional parts and labor to hook-up. Because additional parts and labor may be required these features are referred to as optional features and not standard features.

Note: The term ZONE used herein refers to any door, hood, trunk or sensor monitored by the security system.

Arming System When There Is An Active Zone: When there is an open door or other sensor trigger present (active zone) when the system enters pre-arm, the system begins a 4-1/2 minute countdown at the end of which, it bypasses the active zone. The siren then emits the second arm chirp indicating the system is armed with the bypassed zone unprotected. If the active zone becomes inactive before the 4-1/2 minute countdown ends, the system will then fully arm with all zones protected. If the bypassed zone turns inactive after the 4-1/2 minute countdown ends, that zone will remain unprotected until the system is disarmed and then rearmed.

How the Security System Protects Your Vehicle

1. The visual status indicator flashes once per second creating a powerful, visual theft deterrent.
2. The engine will not start. The security system's "starter interrupt" electronically disables the starter motor.
3. All protected zones are continually monitored. Disturbance to any protected zone will trigger an alarm cycle.
4. The shock sensor monitors for impact to the body of the car. A light impact will cause the siren to sound a short lite-touch chirp to warn away a potential intruder. Heavier impact will trigger an alarm cycle.
5. Disturbance to any additional sensors installed with system will trigger an alarm cycle.

When An Alarm Cycle Is Triggered: When a protected zone is violated, the following events occur:

• LED flashes rapidly
• Siren sounds continuously
• Vehicle parking lights flash once per second

This series of events is called an alarm cycle. The alarm cycle lasts for one minute and then shuts down returning the security system to a fully armed state, except when:

• The violated opening is left open, the alarm cycle shuts down for 10 seconds then resumes to attract more attention to the vehicle. This cycle repeats until the violated opening is closed.
• If any sensor is triggered five times, the sensors will be bypassed until the system is disarmed and then rearmed. All other protected zones are still armed and alert.

Elite Series Personal Safety Features

Auto Functions: In addition to the remote controlled security features, there are two automatic features designed to enhance your personal safety.

• Illuminated Entry/Exit: In addition to the interior dome light turning on when the system is disarmed, the system will turn on the dome light each time the ignition key is turned off to illuminate your exit from the vehicle. The dome light will stay on for one minute or until the vehicle is re-started or the security system is armed.
• Automatic Door Lock/Unlock: If all protected openings are closed when the ignition key is turned to the on position, the security system will Lock the doors. When the key is turned back off, the system will unlock the doors to allow an easy exit from the vehicle.

Personal Protection Alarm: Provides an extra measure of personal security should you need to attract attention to your vehicle or yourself. To activate the Panic mode press and hold the "P" button on the remote control transmitter for one second. When activated, panic mode will sound the siren continuously and flash the parking lights for 30 seconds. Panic mode can be shut off at anytime by pressing the ARM/DISARM button. Panic mode can be activated at anytime regardless of whether the security system is armed or disarmed.

Optional Feature

The optional feature output is capable of many different functions. Although normally for trunk release, it can instead be used to control such applications as remote car start or stereo system valet. Consult your installer about these and other possible applications. They will be able to suggest which are best suited for your system.

Trunk Release*: Press the 'O' button on the remote control transmitter. When the system receives the transmitted signal, it will respond by activating the trunk release output. If the security system is armed when the trunk release output is activated, the security system will be disarmed and the doors unlocked. If you are going to leave the vehicle unattended, remember to rearm the security system with the remote control transmitter. When the ignition key is on, the optional feature output is disabled to prevent the trunk or hatch from being opened while driving.

*Vehicle must be equipped with electric trunk/hatch release.

System Maintenance

Your CODE ALARM security system does not require any specific maintenance except for occasionally changing transmitter batteries. However. it is suggested that the system be armed and all protected zones should be checked about once a month to make sure that they trigger an alarm cycle. Should the system malfunction in any way, contact your CODE ALARM dealer as soon as possible for service.

CHANGING THE TRANSMITTER BATTERIES: During normal usage the batteries in your remote control transmitter should last about three years. When the battery begins to weaken you will notice that the transmitter range will begin to decrease. It is suggested that you change the transmitter battery every three years even if you do not notice a decrease in transmitter range.

1. Insert a coin into the slot on the side of the transmitter case and twist to split the case halves apart.
2. Carefully separate the case halves.
3. Remove the old batteries from the back half of the transmitter case.
4. Replace with new batteries (P/N 2016), making sure that the positive side (+) of the batteries are facing down into the back half of the transmitter case.
5. Snap the transmitter case halves back together.
