2Using Your Nova 400 Security System! Remote ControlEach of the pair of remote controls is a miniature radio transmitter with a typical range of up to 100feet. Obstructions radio interference, cellular transmissions or a weak remote control battery mayreduce the range, or interrupt transmission (if the system does not immediately respond, release andpress the button again; this works better than holding the button down). The second remote can beused by a second driver of the vehicle. or kept as a spare.! Using the Remote ControlYour 3-button/6-channel remote control is the key to your security system. It incorporates Nova 400Security Stealth Coding technology which offers the most advanced protection available against"code-grabbing' devices. It’s an ingenious user-friendly device that can control six different functions,yet it has only three buttons. You will use the remote control to arm and disarm the system, lock andunlock the doors, activate its panic feature, and control options such as headlight activation, remotetrunk release and Nova 400 Security systems on your other vehicles.! To transmit channels 1, 2 or 3:Just press button 1, 2, or 3. For instance, to transmit channel 3, press button 3. When youtransmit, the LED will flash.! To transmit channels 4, 5 or 6:Channel 4: Press button 1 and 2 together.Channel 5: Press button 2 and 3 together.Channel 6: Press button 1 and 3 together.When you transmit, the LED will flash. TO ARM THE SYSTEM...Press button 1 once. You will hear two chirps and the parking lights will flash twice. The LED will flashrepeatedly and the car doors will automatically lock. Any attempt to break into the car will immediatelydisable the engine, sound the siren and flash the parking lights. TO DISARM THE SYSTEM...Press button 1 again. One chirp and one flash of the lights will confirm disarming. In addition, the cardoors will automatically unlock and the interior lights will turn on and stay on for 30 seconds or untilyou start the engine. TO SILENTLY ARM OR DISARM THE SYSTEM...Press button 3. The system will arm or disarm with all the indications noted above except the chirpacknowledgments.LEDButton 1Button 3Button 2
3 TO ACTIVATE THE PANIC FEATURE...Press button 1 for 3 seconds. The lights will flash repeatedly and the siren will blare for 5 minutes, oruntil you press button 1 again to turn it off. If the remote door lock/unlock is enabled, the doors willalso unlock so that you can immediately enter the vehicle. If you panic the system when you'rebehind the wheel (with the ignition on), the doors will automatically lock to stop potential assailantsfrom entering your vehicle. TO ACTIVATE AN OPTION WHEN THE ALARM IS DISARMED...Button 2 can only control an option when the system is disarmed. If you have one of the followingoptions installed, pressing button 2 while the alarm is disarmed will either:★ Remotely open the trunk OR ...★ Remotely open the fuel-tank door.

4! Remote Controls with Hopping Coding:Whenever car owners remotely arm or disarm other alarms, car thieves with electronic “code-grabbers" can instantly capture and record off the air the digital codes transmitted by their remotecontrols. When the owner leaves, the thief can play back the code to disarm the system and unlockthe doors. But Nova 400 Security's Hopping Coding remote controls randomly change the code everytime you use them, and the system will not respond if any code is re-transmitted. This makes carthieves' code-grabbers completely useless against the Nova 400 Security System.! Electronic Scan Prevention (ESP)Many car thieves also use electronic scanners that rapidly transmit one remote control code afteranother to defeat ordinary alarms. ESP prevents scanners from disarming your system.! Selectable Passive ArmingSimply close and lock your car doors. Five seconds later, the parking lights will flash twice to indicatethat the 30-second passive arming sequence has begun. Thirty seconds later, the system will armitself to ensure your vehicle is always protected. Since the system arms itself, you will need to disarmit with the remote control when you come back. If you have the passive arming feature set on, whenfueling your car, either put the alarm in valet mode. Use the Quick Override of Passive Arming feature(see below) or leave one of the doors open (the system not passively arm if a door is open). If youprefer, you may turn off the Passive Arming feature. See the (User-programmable Features sectionon page 9)! Quick Override of Passive Arming: Prevents passive arming when fueling the vehicle andother times when you wish to temporarily prevent the pass arming. To activate Quick Overrideof Passive Arming, rapidly turn the ignition switch to "ON" then "OFF" twice. You will hear asingle chirp to confirm that the system will not passively arm. The passive arming feature willautomatically return to normal operation the next time you park your car.! Passive Self-Locking: Normally the system will not automatically lock the doors when itpassively arms to prevent you from accidentally locking your keys and remote control insidethe vehicle. If you prefer, you can easily set the Nova 400 Security to automatically lock thedoors every time the system passively arms. See the User-programmable Features section onpage 9.! Valet Mode With Remote Controlled ActivationWhenever the alarm is put in valet mode, all of the alarm functions are bypassed. This preventspassive arming and accidental activation of the alarm. You should use valet mode whenever your caris to be serviced by mechanics, car wash personnel or driven by valet attendants. It also comes inhandy if you ever lose your remote control or its battery dies. Be sure to ask your installer to showyou where the valet switch is located.! To REMOTELY turn ON valet mode:1. Transmit channel 5 (Press button 2 and 3 together).2. If the alarm is disarmed, the parking lights will flash twice and the LED will glowcontinuously to indicate that the alarm is in valet mode.3. If the alarm is armed, the alarm will disarm, the parking light will flash 2 long flashes and theLED will glow continuously to indicate that the alarm is in valet mode.! To REMOTELY turn off valet mode:1. Transmit channel 5 again. (Press button 2 and 3 together).2. The parking lights will flash once and the LED will turn off to indicate that the alarm is innormal operating mode.! To manually turn ON valet mode:1. Insert your ignition key and turn it to the "ON" position, or start the engine2. Flip the valet switch.3. The LED will glow continuously to indicate that the alarm is in valet mode.! To manually turn OFF valet mode:1. Insert your ignition key and turn it to the "ON" position, or start the engine2. Flip the valet switch.
53. The LED will turn off to indicate that the alarm is in normal operating mode.! Keyless Entry in Valet Mode: Even if you have turned the valet mode ON. You will still beable to remotely control all the convenience features. For instance, simply press button 1 as ifyou were arming or disarming and your car's doors will lock or unlock. You can also transmitchannels 2. 3 & 6 to activate other options.! Automatic Door ControlFor your safety and that of your passengers, the system automatically locks the doors when you turnon the ignition switch to start the engine and unlocks them once the ignition is turned off. If you prefer,you may rum off the Automatic Lock/Unlock feature. See the User-programmable Features sectionon page 9.! Dual-Level Tampering WarningYour system equips with to a dual-level warning, instead of the full alarm blast. When the dual-stageimpact sensor detects slightly impact, system will warn-away the vandal or thief. You will hear twoshort siren warning. If sensor detects heavily impact, siren will scream for its full 30 seconds duration.! Alarm State MemoryIf you car's battery is disconnected and later on reconnected, the system automatically returns to itslast state before power was removed, whether it was armed, disarmed or in valet mode. So if amechanic disconnects the battery while it's in valet mode, he won't trip the alarm when reconnectingthe power. Yet if a thief removes power while the alarm is armed and reconnects it, the alarm willinstantly sound, the parking lights will flash and the starter will be disabled.! Automatic System CheckEach time you remotely arm your vehicle, it will perform a series of tests on all triggers and sensors.If a trigger (which detects the opening of doors, the hood or the trunk) malfunction is found, you willbe visually and audibly alerted immediately with 4 chirps and flashes instead of the usual 2.! Specific Malfunction Identification: The system not only tells you if the problem is a triggeror sensor, but it can also indicate the specific trigger sensor that is malfunctioning. This featurenot only saves you time but money as well because your installer won't have to spend hourstrying to determine where the problem lies. Here's how it works:1. You receive the 4-chirp/4-flash signal.2. Disarm with the remote control.3. Turn the ignition ON.4. The LED indicator inside the vehicle will flash a number of times.5. Count the number of blinks in one cycle (for your convenience, the blink cycle repeats 4 moretimes) and refer to the chart that follows:Number of LED blinks per cycle after disarming Malfunction1 blink Dual-zone impcat sensor2 blinks Door trigger3 blinks Trunk or hood trigger! LED Status IndicatorThe LED on your car's dashboard or console will inform you of the system status:LED Condition MeaningOff System is disarmedOn Protected valet modeFlashing System is armedFlashing in cycles Trigger/sensor malfunction or trigger/sensor activatedin a previous intrusion attempt
6! Attempted Theft AlertThe system will let you know if there was an attempt made on your vehicle while you were away.When you remotely disarm, if you hear 3 chirps instead of usual one chirp it means the alarmsounded in your absence. The system will tell you which trigger or sensor detected the attempt.When you enter the vehicle, the LED will blink several times, pause, then repeat the blink cycle.Count the number of blinks in one cycle and refer to the chart that follows:Number of LED blinks per cycle afterdisarming Trigger/Sensor Activated1 blink Dual-zone impact sensor2 blinks Door trigger3 blinks Trunk or hood trigger! How to Interpret the Chirps and Parking Light FlashesWhen you press the remote control buttons the system will respond with chirps (unless you have thechirp muting feature turned on) and flashes the parking lights to the system status. The meaning ofthese chirp/flash acknowledgments is as followsNumber of chirpsand flashes Meaning1 Disarming of the alarm2 Arming of the alarm2 and then 4 Armed and there is a sensor malfunction (automatically bypassed)3 Disarmed and there was an intrusion attempt4 Armed and there is a trigger malfunction (automatically bypassed)! Selectable Chirp ControlWhenever you wish, you may completely silence the system’s arm/disarm chirps. The short-term andone-time chirp muting capabilities are especially valuable when parking late at night in a quietresidential area. You have two choices:! Chirp Canceling: Lets you completely silence the chirps until you wish to restore them. SeeUser-Programmable Features on page 9.! One-Time Remote Chirp Muting: The most simple of all. To remotely arm or disarm the alarmsilently, press button 1 and 2 together.! Remote Headlight Activation OR Window/Sunroof ClosureThe system’s built-in timer can control one of two great features (these features require optionalwiring and a relay):★ Remote Controlled Headlight Activation OR .★ Remote Controlled Window/Sunroof Closure (available only on certain vehicles)If connected to the headlights, you may set the timer duration to any interval between 1 second and2.5 minutes. See the User-Programmable Features on page 10.WARNING: If your built-in timer controls window/sunroof closure in your car. DO NO changethe timer setting! This requires installer-only programming. Changing the value will adverselyeffect operation and may cause damage.
7User-Programmable FeaturesYour vehicle security system allows you to set many of its features to your own personal preferences.We have made the programming procedures very simple: to make a change, you just flick the valetswitch a few times. The system comes the factory with all of its features pre-programmed as noted inthe table on pages 9-10. To change any of the settings, use the procedure noted. To restore the to itsfactory setting, just repeat the procedure:1. Select the feature you wish to program from the table on pages 9-10. There are 2 stages ofprogramming. To enter 1st stage insert the ignition key and turn it to the ON position, to enter2nd stage turn the ignition key from ON position to OFF position.2. Note the number of flicks and chirps associated with that feature.3. Immediately flick the valet switch back and forth, counting the number of chirps you hear. Stopwhen you reach the number of chirps associated with the feature you wish to program.4. If noted, do the "secondary action.''5. After a 3-second pause, you will hear 1-6 chirps, depending on the feature being programmed,to confirm that you have changed the setting of the feature. Turn the ignition OFF.6. Repeat steps 1-5 for any other features you wish to program.ExampleTo change the passive arming feature from its factory setting of ON to OFF, you would note from thetable on page 9 that changing the state of passive arming requires four (4) flicks of the valet switch.You would do the following:★ Turn the ignition key to the ON position.★ Immediately after the ignition is turned on, flick the valet/program switch back and forth four timeswhile counting the number of confirmation chirps.★ When the 4th chirp sounds, wait 3 seconds. The system will sound one chirp to confirm that thepassive arming setting has been turned OFF.★ Turn the ignition OFF.
