Clifford concept 50 Automobile Alarm User Manual


 
Failsafe MultiPoint AutoImmobilisation
Concept 50 has a multipoint AutoImmobiliser that, when active, will immobilise
your vehicle by electronically interrupting the ignition, starter and fuel pump.
AutoImmobilisation occurs 30 seconds after you turn off the ignition. It will also
occur 30 seconds after disarming the system. AutoImmobilisation is completely
independent of the alarm’s AutoArming feature. The dashboard LED will
repeatedly flash slowly when the immobiliser is active, and rapidly when both the
immobiliser and alarm are active. Be aware that after disarming your Concept 50,
you must turn on the ignition within 30 seconds or AutoImmobilisation will occur.
NOTE: If the engine will not start, more than 30 seconds have passed since
remote disarming or since turning off the vehicle’s ignition switch. Thus, the
system has automatically engaged the immobilisation circuitry. You may de-
activate immobilisation simply by pressing remote control button 1 or button 3
once to fully arm the system, then again to fully disarm.
Failsafe Operation: To ensure your safety, the immobilisation circuitry cannot
under any circumstances be activated while you are driving, even if the system
fuse were to blow.
Encased in Steel: To provide even greater assurance against any possibility of
tampering, Concept 50’s immobilisation electronics are encased in steel.
Remote controlled sensor override
Normally the sensors detect movement in the passenger compartment and
high-pitched sounds similar to glass breaking while the system is armed. Concept 50
lets you arm and then override the sensors via the remote control. It’s perfect when
you need to leave a passenger or pet in the vehicle. To override the sensors:
1. Arm with remote control button 1/channel 1.
2. Anytime thereafter, transmit channel 9 (LevelShift button twice, then press button
1).You will note that the vehicle’s indicator lights will flash four times to
confirm that the sensors have been overridden. The sensors will automatically be
reactivated the next time the system is armed.
How to interpret the LED status indicator
The LED on your car’s dashboard or console will inform you of the system status:

Off System is disarmed and in normal operating mode; you may drive the vehicle

which occurs 30 seconds after the ignition is turn off; see page 12).
