Why are all systems short circuit protected?
ALL Directed systems are designed with short circuit protection built in. In recent years thieves have discovered that an easy way to defeat many of our competitors’ systems was simply to break a taillight lens, short out the parking light bulb inside, and then trigger the alarm. Since many alarms also flash the parking lights when triggered, the short circuiting of the parking light bulb would lead to the short circuiting of the alarm as well, making it short work for the thief. To completely prevent this from happening, all Directed Security systems include several forms of short circuit protection. The first form is fuse protection for all critical circuits including main power, siren, and parking light output. This most basic form of protection prevents a thief from defeating our systems by simply shorting out a parking light bulb or the siren. The second form is advanced integrated circuit technology which allows all other outputs to detect short circuit conditions and temporarily
