Noise Abatement Circuit:  
The Noise Abatement Circuit prevents annoying repetitive trigger sequences due to faulty door  
pin switches or environmental conditions such as thunder, airport noise, etc.  
The alarm triggers 5 times. Each time, the same sensor / switch is triggering the alarm. The  
Noise Abatement Circuit will interpret this pattern of triggers as a false alarm. After the fifth  
trigger, the Noise Abatement Circuit ignores, or bypasses, that sensor / switch until the other  
sensor / switch is triggered.  
The Noise Abatement Circuit covers doors (hood / trunk) differently: If the alarm is triggered by  
an open door for six full cycles, the doors will be bypassed until the trigger ceases.
