EXP-52 OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
A. REMOTE CONTROL TRANSMITTER OPERATION
The new remote control transmitter (XT-54) included with the EXP-52
offers the code rolling feature which will prevent illegal use of a code-
grabber with an attempt to record the code of your transmitter.
1. ARM/DISARM
TO ARM THE EXP-52
Press the ON/OFF button once to
arm. The siren will chirp one (1)
time, the lights will flash, and all
doors will lock. (*)
TO DISARM THE EXP-52
Press the ON/OFF button once to
disarm. The siren will chirp two (2) times, the lights will flash, and all
doors will unlock.(*)
NOTE(*): Your vehicle must be equipped with power door locks and
optional relays may be required. Additionally, all doors will lock
automatically each time the ignition key is turned on, and unlock each
time the ignition key is turned off. Please see Section (H).
2. TEMPORARY CHIRP DELETE FROM REMOTE
Upon approaching the vehicle (whether armed or disarmed) push the
AUX button on the remote control transmitter for half (0.5) second, then
very quickly push the ON/OFF button on the transmitter to arm or disarm
in the usual manner. The chirp sound will be silenced only for this
particular operation. The sequence must be repeated each time if it is

3. PANIC FUNCTION
The EXP-52 remote control may be used as a remote panic switch to
trigger the siren in cases of emergency. To activate the PANIC
FUNCTION press and hold the ON/OFF button on the remote transmitter
for a minimum of 3 seconds. The siren will sound. To stop the PANIC
FUNCTION press the ON/OFF button on the transmitter.
4. DELETING THE PRE-WARNING SENSOR CIRCUIT (If installed)
The EXP-52 offers the dual stage SIS-5 impact sensor to pre-warn a
light impact on the vehicle with a siren chirp before triggering the alarm.
The alarm will trigger with the third violation within 15 seconds. The
EXP-52 also provides a pre-warning sensor input for an additional
sensor like a radar sensor to pre-warn approach to the vehicle.
To delete the pre-warning sensor, press the ON/OFF button again within
5 seconds after arming. The siren will confirm deletion with a low chirp.
NOTE: Deleted sensor(s) will return to normal operation upon
disarming the EXP-52. Sensor(s) deletion procedure must be followed
each time the EXP-52 is armed. This operation deletes only the pre-
warning sensor of the alarm.
NOTE: This pre-warning feature is set inactive by thefactory, and must
be activated at the time of installation if this feature is desired.
5. TRUNK/HATCH RELEASE
To remotely release the electric trunk or hatch on the vehicle you must
first disarm the EXP-52. After disarming, push the AUX button on the
transmitter for THREE (3) seconds. Trunk or hatch will release and
open. NOTE: The alarm will not control mechanical/latch trunk release
mechanisms.

6. OPTIONAL ACCESSORY OPERATION
Simultaneously pressing both the ON/OFF and AUX buttons will allow
third channel operation. A negative pulse begins and will continue until
buttons are released. It is not recommended to press the buttons
longer than 3 seconds.
7. SECOND CAR OPERATION
Refer to SECTION “(K)” of this operation manual. Arming and disarming
will be determined by how the transmitters have been programmed for
multiple vehicle operation.
8. CHANGING THE REMOTE TRANSMITTER BATTERY
The EXP-52 remote transmitter uses one (1) 12 volt miniature battery,
#EL12, #VR22, or Radio Shack #23-144. It will provide approximately
one year of operation before replacement is necessary.
To replace the battery, carefully remove
the case screw located at the end of the
remote where the key ring attaches to the
case. Use a small blade Phillips
screwdriver. Before removing the battery
note the direction of its terminals. Install
the new battery exactly the same, using
caution so as not to bend, or otherwise
damage the battery contacts. Replace the
case cover and carefully tighten the screw.
Do not over-tighten the screw! Test the
transmitter to insure it arms and disarms
the alarm.
