Functional Description
Overview – Alarm
The Vehicle Alarm System (VAS) will generate an audible
and visual warning if the vehicle doors, bonnet or boot are
opened without first disarming the system using an
authorised remote transmitter key.
There are two types of alarm system:
•Standard
• High Specification (optional). Includes an interior
movement sensor and tilt sensor
The interior movement sensor offers further protection of
the ignition barrel and steering wheel lock, the tilt sensor will
detect unauthorised angular movement of the vehicle.
A Battery Backup sounder (BBS) is used to protect the
sounder from disconnection. The BBS will sound if any
attempt is made to disconnect it from the rest of the alarm
system when the vehicle is armed.
General setting
The system will be armed on the first press of the remote
transmitter ‘Lock’ button. Th e alarm system will arm and
deadlock 25 seconds after receiving the arm request.
Door open
If the alarm system is set when any door, bonnet or boot are
left open, then the alarm will be armed on all closed doors
only, 25 seconds after the alarm set command has been
requested. The open door, bonnet or boot will not be
armed. 5 seconds after the open door, bonnet or boot have
been closed, the alarm will Arm on that door, bonnet or
boot.
Disable the Alarm
The alarm will be disabled following the unlock or boot open
commands from the remote transmitter key or by turning the
ignition key in the ignition barrel.
Reduced guard mode
When the vehicle is in reduced guard mode the mass
movement and tilt sensors are disabled. This allows people
or animals to be left in the vehicle.
With doors, boot and bonnet cl osed, ignition key in position
‘0’ or ‘I’ or within 60 sec after removing the keys the reduced
guard button can be activated.
When the alarm is set, the vehicle will enter reduced guard
mode. To deactivate reduced guard mode simply insert and
turn the ignition key to position ‘II’.
If the alarm is deactivated and then activated without turning
the ignition key to position ‘II’ first, then the reduced guard
mode will remain active.
Alarm Cycle
When the alarm has been activated there will be two
outputs, these are listed below:
Audible output device (Siren)
The audible alarm signal is generated by the battery backed
sounder. Duration of one alarm cycle is 25 seconds. The
maximum number of cycles is ten.
Visible output device DI’s
The turn indicators are activated during and alarm cycle. The
alarm signal is given by flashing all direction indicators for 5
minutes. Following an alarm cycle the vehicle alarm will
remain set.
Panic Alarm
The Panic Alarm is to be used in emergency situations for
attracting attention while in or outside the vehicle.
Activate Panic Alarm
The Panic Alarm can be activated using the Panic Alarm
button on the remote transmitter, there are two ways to
initiate the feature:
• Press the Panic Alarm button for a minimum time of 3 seconds.
• Press the Panic Alarm button tw ice, the second press must
be made within 3 seconds from the first press.
Deactivate Panic Alarm
The panic alarm cannot be deactivated for the first 5 seconds
of operation following its activation. Following the first 5
seconds of the panic alarm cycle, it can then be deactivated
in following ways:
• Pressing the panic button on the remote transmitter.
• The activation time has exceeded (25 seconds).
Panic alarm cycle
When active, the DI’s will flash and the vehicle horn will
sound for 25 seconds.
The ignition key must have be en in position ‘II’ first.
