Clifford concept 50 Automobile Alarm User Manual


 
Smart prior intrusion attempt alert
If you hear three chirps (instead of the usual one chirp) upon disarming, it means the
system sounded in your absence. When you enter the vehicle and turn on the ignition (or
start the engine), the LED will flash several times, pause, then repeat the flash cycle 4
more times. Count the number of flashes in one cycle and refer to the chart on page 13.
Smart Self-Powered Siren
This siren has its own built-in back-up battery, so even if a thief cuts all the wires,
the siren will continue to wail. Comes with two security override keys in case you
ever need to turn off the siren.
Smart-charging: Other battery-backed sirens continually draw charging current
from your vehicle’s battery. In time, this can drain your battery. Clifford’s
Smart Self-Powered Siren only draws charging current while the vehicle’s
ignition is on, i.e., while you’re driving. This prevents battery drain.
Long-term chirp silencing: Whenever you wish, you may silence your Concept
50’s arm/disarm chirps until you wish to restore them. The indicator light
flashes will continue to provide visual confirmation of remote controlled arming
and disarming. See UltraSecure Coded Programming Mode on pages 16-17.
Remote controlled chirp muting: Remote controlled chirp muting capabilities
are especially valuable when parking late at night in a quiet residential area. To
arm or disarm silently, simply press button 3/channel 3 on your remote control
instead of the usual button 1/channel 1.
Siren duration:
When the system detects an intrusion attempt, the alarm is set to
sound for 30 seconds. However, if you prefer, you may change it to 60
seconds. See the UltraSecure Coded Programming Mode section on pages
16-17. To ensure against battery drain or towing of the vehicle due to noise
pollution, the siren will sound for no more than 5 continuous minutes.
Self-powered: If a thief were to cut the siren’s wires, the siren will continue to
sound for 5 minutes.
Low battery warning: If at any time the siren’s back-up battery voltage is low or
it fails to hold its charge, the normal arm and disarm chirps will be muted to
alert you of the problem. Once the back-up battery is charged, the chirps will
automatically be restored.
FACT— False Alarm Control and Test
With FACT, you’ll never experience repeated false alarms. If the siren goes off, DO
NOT remotely disarm the system; allow it to run for the full siren duration. Before
sounding a second time, the system automatically checks for another activated trigger
or sensor to verify that an intrusion is in progress. Should the siren sound again, you
will know for sure that someone is tampering with your vehicle. If you prefer, you
may disable or re-enable the FACT feature, see UltraSecure Coded Programming
Mode
on pages 16-17.
