DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Volumetric protection
Using the handset transmitter will turn on and off
volumetric protection. In volumetric mode the vehicle
interior is protected using the ultrasonic sensor. Using
the handset also arms and disarms the vehicle
perimetrically. Cranking is disabled when volumetric
and perimetric protection is armed.
NOTE: If armed volumetrically the vehicle
CANNOT be disarmed using the key.
Alarm horn
When an intrusion is detected the alarm horn will
sound intermittently (Switzerland and Denmark
continuous horn sound) and the hazard lights flash
(where territorial regulations allow) for 30 seconds.
The alarm must be retriggered before alarm horn will
sound again.
Vehicle status indication
Vehicle status is indicated by up to three devices: (a)
alarm horn, (b) hazard lights, (c) dash board LED.
When the vehicle arms in either mode the hazard
lights will flash three times and the LED will flash
rapidly for 10 seconds. LED will then flash at a slower
rate while vehicle is armed. When the vehicle disarms,
hazard lights will flash once and LED will extinguish. If
LED remains lit, it indicates that the alarm has been
triggered. Turning on ignition or arming the alarm will
extinguish LED. The LED will give a long pulse flash
to indicate the ultrasonic unit being activated.
Central locking
Central locking is controlled by the alarm ECU and
may be operated by the key, sill button(s) or handset.
The system works on both front doors on four door
vehicles or driver’s door on two door vehicles.
NOTE: The central door locking system
will shut down for a short period after
more than 15 consecutive operations.
Inertia switch
An inertia switch is incorporated in the alarm system
ECU. If ignition is on and the vehicle receives an
impact sufficient to activate the inertia switch, the ECU
will signal to unlock central locking actuators and flash
hazard lights. Central locking will remain disabled for
30 seconds. To reset turn ignition off and then on after
the 30 second period has elapsed.
Ultrasonic unit
The unit operates by emitting an air pressure carrier
wave and receiving the wave back. Any disturbance
within the vehicle which disturbs the wave will be
detected, triggering the alarm.
When the volumetric sensor is activated it monitors
movement within the vehicle for 15 seconds before
detecting and responding to intrusions. If the sensor
detects movement within the vehicle it delays arming
until a 15 seconds quiet period has elapsed. If
continuous movement is detected the alarm will not
arm volumetrically.
Radio frequency system
The RF system uses four frequencies according to
market. If the coaxial aerial is not fitted system
performance will be impaired. Both ECU and handset
have a colour coded label.
