Features and Benefits of the PowerCode PC 5100
TM
OEM Keyless Integration
The PowerCode PC 5100TM utilizes your factory keyless entry
remote controls and adds a complete vehicle security system while
retaining factory functions.
All Entrances Protected
Opening any door or entrance protected by the security system
triggers the alarm’s 125db siren (or vehicle horn) and flashes the
vehicle parking lights.
Starter Disable
The PowerCode PC 5100TM protects your vehicle from theft by
disabling the starter when the system is armed.
IT-s TM
InteriorTheft Sensor
This patented sensor uses infra-red technology to reliably detect
vehicle impact associated with attempted intrusion. The IT-sTM
sensor guards against vehicle body damage, and theft car
equipment (such as airbags) and personal belongings.
Interior Status Indicator
The bright-red warning light is an effective visual deterrent to a
would-be thief.

Arming the Security System
To arm the system, exit the vehicle, close all doors, then press* the
LOCK button on your OEM Keyless Entry Remote Control.The siren**
will “chirp” twice†and the parking lights will flash twice, indicating the
system is armed. The status indicator (red warning light on the dash)
will blink steadily, once per second.
Pre-arm Mode
If the siren chirps and the parking lights flash only once, this indicates
that the vehicle courtesy light is on, or that an entrance is not closed
securely. Check to see that doors, hood, and trunk are properly
closed. Once all entrances are secured (and the courtesy light is off),
the system will chirp / flash again.The system is now fully armed. (If
the entrance is not secured within 4 minutes, the system will arm and
ignore the unsecured entrance until it is closed.)
Disarming the Security System
To disarm the system, press the UNLOCK button on your OEM
Keyless Entry Remote Control. The siren will chirp and the parking
lights will flash once.
Attempted Intrusion Identification
If the siren chirps four times when disarming, this indicates that the
system was triggered in your absence. The status indicator will also
flash rapidly. Perform the following operation to determine the protected
zone that triggered the system:
After disarming, press the emergency override button.
The siren will chirp to indicate
the cause of the alarm trigger:
Using Your Remote Transmitter
Existing Keyless Entry or Security Remote
1 chirp IT-s Interior Theft Sensor
2 chirps Door
3 chirps Hood
4 chirps Trunk/Optional Sensors
5 chirps Ignition was turned on

Disarming UsingTrunk Pop
If your OEM Keyless Entry Remote Control is equipped with a remote
trunk opener, pressing the TRUNK button will disarm the vehicle
security system. This will allow you to enter the trunk without triggering
the security system.
WhenYour Security System is Triggered
The PowerCode PC 5100TM will trigger if one of the following events
occurs while the system is armed:
• Any protected entrance is opened
• The vehicle ignition is turned on
• The vehicle is jolted hard enough to signal the impact detector
Once the alarm is triggered, the siren (or horn) sounds and the
vehicle parking lights flash for 30 seconds. The system will then re-
arm, awaiting the next intrusion attempt. To stop the siren while
keeping the alarm armed and doors locked: press the LOCK button
(on the OEM Keyless Entry Remote) while the system is triggered.
The Interior Status Indicator
The Status Indicator is a high-intensity red light mounted in a visible
location on the vehicle dashboard.This red light gives a visual
indication of the alarm system’s state of operation.Note the chart below:
If the Status Indicator is... ....then the Security System
Flashing Green is disarmed
Flashing Slowly is armed
Flashing Very Quickly was triggered in your absence
(see Attempted Intrusion ID - page 4)
Flashing Intermittently is in Valet mode(LED is Green)
