Welcome to the world of high-technology vehicle security and convenience C ongratulations on the purchase of your XL4000 vehicle security/convenience system. Clifford Electronics has long been recognized as the world’s leading manufacturer of high-technology vehicle security systems and accessories. In fact, Clifford Electronics holds more patent[...]

Your 4-button/12-channel remote controls The 4-button/12-channel remote controls are ultra-sophisticated miniature radio transmitters powered by a tiny 12-volt battery. Range is up to 100 feet. A weak remote control battery will reduce range. Electrical interference and even sunspots can interrupt the signal from your remote control to the system. [...]

What each button/channel does Your XL4000 remote controls come pre-programmed so that certain channels command certain functions. If you wish, you can actually assign any channel except 9 through 12 to any function (see pages 20-24). The following chart indicates what each remote control channel number does, and how to transmit each channel number.[...]

TO ACTIVATE THE PANIC FEATURE . . . . . . . . . . Press button 1 (channel 1) for 3 seconds. The parking lights will flash repeatedly and the siren will blare for 30 or 60 seconds (user-selectable), or until you press button 1 again to turn it off.

Anti-CodeGrabbing™ (ACG) with Random Code Encryption A Clifford exclusive that protects you and your automobile from the most effective and onerous car stealing device ever used by car thieves — a code-grabber. Code-grabbers are far more effective and efficient than scanning. Unlike scanners that sequentially transmit one digital code after ano[...]

UltraSecure™ Coded Valet Mode Your secret valet code In seconds, thieves can disable all other alarm brands by hotwiring the ignition and flicking an easy to find “hidden” valet switch. Your system has safeguards that absolutely ensure a thief cannot enable the valet mode as a way of “turning off” your system. How? To enable valet mode, t[...]

To exit valet mode 1. Turn the ignition switch to its “ON” position or start the engine. 2. Flick the switch back to its center position. The LED will turn off to confirm that the system is now in its normal operating mode. Setting your own secret valet code Since all XL Series systems have the same factory-set code, it is highly advisable that[...]

FACT™— False Alarm Control and Test With FACT, you’ll never experience repeated false alarms. If the Insignia Siren goes off, DO NOT remotely disarm the system; allow it to run for the full siren duration. Before sounding the siren a second time, the system automatically checks for another activated trigger to verify that an intrusion is in p[...]

Remote controlled sensor adjustments Due to ever-changing conditions, all alarms require periodic fine-tuning of their sensors. An improperly adjusted sensor is the most common cause of false alarms. With other alarms, this requires repeated trips back to the dealer. Not so with XL4000. You can adjust sensitivity electronically without tools and wi[...]

1. Remotely disarm, then turn on the ignition. The LED status indicator inside your vehicle will blink 1-3 times, pause, then repeat. 2. Count the number of blinks in one cycle between pauses (for your convenience, the blink cycle repeats a total of 5 times) and refer to the chart below: Number of LED blinks between pauses Trigger/sensor indication[...]

Long-term chirp silencing: Whenever you wish, you may silence your XL4000’s arm and disarm chirps until you decide to restore them. The parking light flashes will continue to provide visual confirmation of remote controlled arming and disarming. See User-selectable features on pages 20-24. Remote controlled chirp muting: Remote controlled chirp m[...]

User-selectable features Your XL4000 allows you to set many of its features to your own personal preferences. Although the system’s programming capabilities are very extensive, we have made the programming procedures very simple: to make a change, you just flick the PlainView switch a few times. Once you’ve changed a few settings, you’ll find[...]

EXAMPLE 1: Turn on AutoArm & Lock: You can set the system to automatically lock the car doors when the system AutoArms (see page 21). To turn on the AutoArm & Lock feature, you’ll note that “AutoArm & Lock” is in column 3, row 2 of the Table (on pages 23-24). The “off” in bold type indicates the factory setting. The following [...]

Note that it’s in column 3, row 4 (latched, center, latched, center, latched, center, wait for the 3-chirp/column 3 confirmation, then 4 momentary presses). After a brief pause, you’ll hear two chirps to confirm that the siren duration is now set to 60 seconds. 5. To exit the program m[...]
