ALARM Function

When a point of entry is opened while the Anti-Theft System is in the ARM mode, the hazard lamp and horn alarm will activate (ON/OFF 3 times each) for a period of 27 seconds.
Output intervals for the horn alarm and hazard lamps are identical.
The alarm sequence, when activated will continue for the duration of the alarm period even when the entry point is closed.
(The alarm will reactivate if entry port is reopened after the initial alarm sequence completes.)
