Viper 3103V - A guide

This product is intended for installation by a professional installer only! Attempts to install this product by a person other than a trained professional may result in severe damage to a vehicle’s electrical system and components. 

A button guide:

• Pressing the unlock/lock button on the remote arms/disarms the system on the vehicle.
• Hold the unlock/lock button on the remote activates the panic feature. Read more about this feature below.
• Holding the AUX/* button will activate an alternative feature, such as opening the trunk.
• Pressing the AUX/* button and the unlock/lock will activate a 2nd alternative feature.
• Pressing the AUX/* button and then pressing the unlock/lock button right after will arm/disarm the system on the vehicle silently.

Active arming:

You can arm the system by pressing LOCK for one second. When the system arms you will hear a short siren sound or chirp, and the parking lights flash once. If the vehicle’s power door locks have been connected to the system, the doors lock. 

• The LED will be flashing when system is armed to let you know that it is active.
• If you hear a second chirp after arming and see the LED flashing in groups, refer to the diagnostics section of the guide. This is referred to as a "Bypass notification"

Passive arming:

The system can be programmed to arm itself automatically, this is called passive arming. If the system is programmed for passive arming, it will automatically arm 30 seconds after the ignition is turned off and the system detects that you have left the vehicle by opening and closing a door. 

• The LED will flash twice as fast as it does when it is armed to let you know that it is counting down.
• The system cannot passively arm if any entry point of the vehicle is open.

Threat detection:

• Light impacts trigger Warn Away. When triggered, the siren chirps and the parking lights flash for a few seconds.
• Heavy impacts trigger a full alarm response. This consists of the siren sounding continuously and the parking lights flashing for a pre-programmed period, which can range in duration from 1 to 180 seconds. 
• If a door is opened, the system will immediately start chirping the siren and flash the parking lights. Three seconds later, the siren output changes to a continuous blast. This progressive response gives you time to disarm the system with your remote if you inadvertently open the door while the system is armed.
• Turning on the ignition will trip the same progressive response as opening a door. The optional starter interrupt prevents the vehicle from starting.  

Real Panic Sound:

The RPS output will make your alarm sound completely different than any other vehicle and provide a unique sound that will draw attention to your vehicle when you need it most. This can be enabled by holding down on the star symbol on the remote control.

Disarming:

To disarm the system, press UNLOCK. You will hear two chirps, and the parking lights will flash twice. If the power locks are connected to the system, the doors will unlock. If the siren chirps either four or five times when disarming, refer to the Diagnostics section of this guide. This is called Tamper Alert. 

Disarming without your remote:

This feature allows you to disarm the security system without the remote control, should it be lost, damaged, or disabled. To disarm the system without a remote, you must have the vehicle’s factory key and know where the Valet button is located. 

1. Turn the ignition to the ON position.
2. Press and release the Valet button 1 time within 15 seconds.
3. After 5 seconds the system should disarm. If the system does not disarm, you may have waited too long. If this is the case, turn off the ignition and try again.

Real Panic Sound:

The RPS output will make your alarm sound completely different than any other vehicle and provide a unique sound that will draw attention to your vehicle when you need it most. This can be enabled by holding down on the unlock/lock button on the remote control.

Valet mode:

You can prevent your security system from automatically arming and triggering by using Valet Mode. This is very useful when:

• Washing the vehicle.
• Having it serviced.

In Valet Mode, the security system will not arm, even with the remote transmitter, but all convenience functions (door locks, trunk release, etc.) will continue to work normally.

To enter or exit from Valet mode:

1. Turn the ignition on
2. Turn the ignition off
3. Press and release the Valet switch within 10 seconds of turning ignition off

To enter or exit with the remote from valet mode:

1. Press unlock/lock
2. Press AUX/*
3. Press unlock/lock 

Nuisance Prevention Circuitry:

Prevents annoying repetitive trigger sequences due to faulty door pin switches or environmental conditions such as thunder, jackhammers, or airport noise

For example, if the alarm triggers three times within a 60-minute period and each time the same sensor or switch triggers the alarm, NPC will interpret those triggers as false alarms. After the third trigger, NPC ignores, or bypasses that sensor or switch (along with any other sensors or switches sharing the same zone) for 60-minutes. 

If the bypassed sensor tries to trigger the system while it is being bypassed, the 60-minute bypass period starts over. This ensures that a sensor that continually triggers will remain bypassed. Doors are covered by NPC differently; if the alarm is triggered by an open door for three full cycles, the doors are bypassed until the trigger ceases.

Diagnostics:

If the system is armed while an input is active, the unit chirps once when arming and then one more time a few seconds later. This is called Bypass Notification.

The security system continually ignores the zone that was active until the input stops. Three seconds after the input stops, the system monitors that input normally. 

Extra disarm chirps are known as Tamper Alerts. If four chirps are heard when disarming, the system was triggered in your absence. If five chirps are heard, a zone was triggered repeatedly, and the Nuisance Prevention Circuitry bypassed that zone (see NPC section of this guide). 

The in-vehicle status LED indicates which zone was involved. (See ‘Table of Zones’ section of this guide.) The system retains this information in its memory and continues to chirp four or five times each time it is disarmed, until the next time the ignition is turned on. 

Table of Zones:

The zone number is the number of LED flashes used by the system to identify that input. The standard input assignments are listed below. Note: Warn Away responses are not reported in the table of zones. 

Code Hopping:

If the transmitter has been pressed many times out of range of the vehicle, or if the battery has been removed, it may get out of sync with the control unit and fail to operate the system. To re-sync the remote control, simply press LOCK several times within range of the vehicle. The alarm will automatically re-sync and respond to the transmitters normally.
