Principle of Operation: Arming

The following two actions are both regarded as arm actions:

The DWA will be Volumetric armed by the first arm action. Volumetric arming is confirmed by rapid flashing of the DWA LED.

Two identical arming actions occurring sequentially within two seconds will put the DWA into Perimeter mode. Perimeter arming is confirmed by blinking of the DWA LED.

Any further arm actions within two seconds will have no effect on the DWA. Following the two seconds, the DWA will ignore any key arm actions. However any further remote arm actions will turn on the interior light for a period of ten seconds. This feature provides a way of locating the car in a large parking lot.

The BC1 will briefly flash the turn signals three times when the car is locked from the out-side and the DWA is armed.
