False Alarm Deactivation; Shock Sensor (Zone 4); Vehicle Locator / Panic Mode; Sensor Deactivation - Fortin RM441 Mode D'emploi

FALSE ALARM DEACTIVATION

This option will disable any zone that triggers the alarm 3 consecutive times. The zone will automat-
ically re-enable once the LOCK button or the UNLOCK button is pressed.

SHOCK SENSOR (ZONE 4)

The Alarm system supports FSS2Z (2 stage - 3 wire) Shock Sensors. The Shock Sensor will produce
a short audible warning on a weak shock, and will trigger a full alarm on a strong shock. Whenever
the vehicle is running with the Remote-Starter the shock sensor is ignored until the Remote-Starter
shuts down. However the Alarm can be set to monitor the Shock Sensor if the vehicle is Armed
AFTER the vehicle is Remote-Started.

VEHICLE LOCATOR / PANIC MODE

To locate your vehicle in a busy parking lot press the LOCK button for 3 seconds to sound the
horn / siren (if installed) and fl ash the parking lights. Press unlock to cancel this Mode.
Note : If an Alarm pre-triggered zone is in memory, this Mode will NOT clear this zone from memory.

SENSOR DEACTIVATION

In cases where a sensor is too sensitive and causes false alarms, it is possible to disable some of
the zones. The Shock Sensor (zone 4), Auxiliary In (zone 7) and the Tilt Sensor (zone 8).
To disable all of these zones press the auxiliary FUNCTION button followed by either the LOCK
button or the UNLOCK button . Confi rmation of 1 signal indicates the zones are activated and
2 signals indicates the zones are deactivated.

TRANSMITTER RANGE

Several factors may affect the operating range of the remote transmitter :
•
A weak transmitter battery.
•
The operating environment such as in the city and airports due to radio interference, cell phone
towers, etc.
•
Several types of metal such as the vehicle itself, other vehicles, the windshields tint lines and
large buildings.
•
The vehicle's shape. Vans generally have poorer range.
•
The shape of the vehicle's roof and the A-pillars cause considerable radio-frequency defl ection.
As a result, the direction in which the vehicle is facing with relation to the remote transmit-
ter can affect range. Facing the front of the vehicle generally produces the greatest range;
secondly facing the back. Facing either side of the vehicle will usually give the poorest range.
•
The range will be signifi cantly poorer in crowded parking lots as opposed to empty
parking lots.
•
Hold the transmitter at shoulder height or hold it against your chin so your body acts as a larger
antenna.
•
The operating range will be somewhat poorer on vehicles equipped with a factory alarm or
keyless entry system.
