Your 4-button/12-channel remote controls The 4-button/12-channel remote controls are ultra-sophisticated miniature radio transmitters powered by a tiny 12-volt battery. A weak remote control battery will reduce range (see page 18 for battery replacement instructions). Electrical interference and even sunspots can interrupt the signal from your remote control to the system. If this happens, repeatedly press the remote control button (this is more effective than holding the button).
What each button/channel does Your Concept 50x remote controls come preprogrammed so that certain channels command certain functions. The following chart indicates what each remote control channel number does, and how to transmit each channel number.
TO REMOTELY TURN ON A TIMED ACCESSORY. . . . . . . Button 2 (channel 2) controls an electronic interlock that lets you separately command two functions with the same channel: one when the system is armed, another when disarmed. Pressing button 2 whilst the alarm is armed will activate the system’s timed output for any duration you wish between one second and two minutes (the factory setting is 30 seconds; see User-selectable features on pages 16-20). TO REMOTELY OPEN THE BOOT . . . .
How to interpret the chirps and indicator light flashes When you use the remote, the system responds with chirps and indicator light flashes: Chirps and flashes Meaning 1 Your system is disarmed 2 Your system is armed 2 and then 4 Armed but there is a door open or the sensor is malfunctioning (see Smart AutoTesting on page 14) 3 Disarmed but there was an intrusion attempt whilst you were away (see Smart prior intrusion attempt on page 8) 4 Armed but the bonnet or boot is ajar (see Smart AutoTesti
UltraSecure Coded Valet Mode Your secret valet code NOTE: If you temporarily lose the use of your remote controls, you can disarm the system by enabling valet mode. All car alarms have a valet mode that turns off the security features. This mode is also used to turn off the alarm if it is not responding to the remote. However, thieves can disable other alarms in seconds by hotwiring the ignition and flicking the alarm’s easy-to-find “hidden” valet switch.
To enable valet mode 1. Turn the ignition switch to its “ON” position or start the engine. 2. Enter your valet code on the PlainView switch, then return the switch to its centre position. 3. You now have 5 seconds to press the latched position to enter valet mode. The system’s LED will glow continually for ongoing visual confirmation of valet mode. To exit valet mode The system will automatically exit valet mode the next time that the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position (e.g.
Keyless entry in valet mode Even if valet mode is enabled, you can still remotely control the convenience features. For instance, press button 1 (channel 1) as if you were disarming: the doors will unlock (confirmed by one indicator light flash) and the interior lights will turn on. Press button 1 again and the doors lock (confirmed by two flashes). You can also use the other channels to activate options such as a remote boot release or remote engine starting.
Built-In Two-Point AutoImmobiliser Thirty seconds after you turn off the ignition, the system’s built-in two-point AutoImmobiliser electronically disengages your vehicle’s starter motor and electronic fuel pump to ensure against theft of your vehicle. The LED Status Indicator will repeatedly flash to indicate that AutoImmobilisation has been activated. Even if a thief were to cut all the wires or even find the Concept 50x control unit and disconnect it, he would still be unable to start the engine.
Smart AutoTesting Each time you remotely arm the system, it tests all triggers and sensors. If the bonnet or boot is open, the system will immediately alert you with 4 chirps and 4 indicator light flashes instead of the usual 2 and 2. If a door is ajar, you will receive the usual 2 chirps and 2 flashes, then, 5 seconds later, 4 chirps and 4 flashes. (The door ajar warning will not work on vehicles with factory-delayed or dimming courtesy lights).
SmartPowerUp II If power is removed, SmartPowerUp II ensures the system will automatically restore itself to its previous state when power is restored. So if a thief disconnects the power whilst the system is armed and then restores it in an attempt to start the car, the system will re-arm and instantly sound the siren whilst immobilising the vehicle.
User-selectable features Your Concept 50x allows you to set many of its features to your own personal preferences via a few flicks of the PlainView switch. Once you’ve changed a few settings, you’ll find that programming Concept 50x is so easy that you can even do it whilst driving! The system comes with all of its features preprogrammed as noted by the bold type in the Table of user-selectable features on pages 19-20. To change any of the settings, use the steps noted below.
EXAMPLE 1: Turn on AutoArm & Lock When the system AutoArms (see page 9), it does not normally lock the doors to ensure that you cannot accidentally lock the keys inside the vehicle. To enable this feature, you’ll note that “AutoArm & Lock” is in column 3, row 2 of the table on pages 19-20. The “off” in bold type indicates the factory setting. The following example will turn on AutoArm & Lock. 1.
Notice that you did not have to reselect column 2. If you don’t touch the switch, the system stays in the column for 10 seconds to allow you to select any other feature(s) in the same column without having to re-enter the column number. Of course, you may also toggle the latched side to select a new column. If you wait more than 10 seconds, the system automatically jumps back to the “Feature Select” position. This is the “standby” position: ready for entry of a new programming selection.
Table of user-selectable features: 1 chirp = OFF, two chirps = ON.
