VIP RS3200 Plus: Introduction
Congratulations on your choice of the RS3200 PLUS add-on security system to protect your vehicle! To get the most from the system, we strongly recommend that you read this completely to learn all of its features and functions.
The RS3200 PLUS provides security through point-of-entry monitoring, glass breakage detection and ignition switch monitoring. While ARMED, the system will be TRIGGERED and sound an Alarm when a door, trunk or hatch is forcibly unlocked or opened*, or when a window is tapped on or broken. During the Alarm, the vehicle's horn sounds and the headlights, tail lights and front marker or turn signal lights flash. Also, the vehicle's starter is disabled, preventing engine start. In addition to the comprehensive protection, the RS3200 PLUS works in conjunction with your vehicle's remote keyless entry system, enabling you to ARM and DISARM the security system at the same time the doors are remotely locked and unlocked. In vehicles equipped with a buzzer, it will chirp when the system is Remote ARMED and DISARMED.
An important note about your system
Throughout this guide, there are references to the STATUS MONITOR(1)(2) for this system. Illustrated below, this panel holds the LED indicator (for the system's operating status) and the GLASS BREAKAGE SENSOR'S microphone. In vehicles equipped with an engine immobilizer system, there is a LED already installed, so the RS3200 PLUS utilizes the vehicle's engine immobilizer system LED(3) instead and a microphone mounted in a separate location. If your vehicle falls into this category, remember to look at that LED when the information refers to the STATUS MONITOR. If you do not know where the LED is located, refer to your vehicle's owner's guide for specific information.
* When the system is PASSIVELY (AUTOMATICALLY) ARMED, there is an ENTRY DELAY that will elapse when a door is opened before an Alarm is TRIGGERED.
