Clifford concept 50x Automobile Alarm User Manual


 
Smart Self-Powered Siren with Unbreachable Digital ComLink
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. Furthermore, this unique Clifford-designed and
manufactured siren has all these important additional enhancements:
Unbreachable Digital ComLink: Clifford’s ingenious Digital ComLink is a serial
communications link that ensures that — if the system fuse is pulled, or if power to
the system is interrupted, or if any siren wire is tampered with while the system is
armed — the siren will instantly activate for five minutes. However, if the system is
disarmed and power is interrupted for authorized servicing, the siren will remain
silent. This eliminates the need for a special separate shutoff key common to other
battery-backed sirens. This ingenious Clifford feature guards against any possibility of
a thief tampering with the system.
Smart-charging: Other battery-backed sirens continually draw charging current
from your vehicle’s battery. In time, this can drain the car’s 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.
Personalized Siren Sounds: Most alarm sirens have a single “warble” tone. A
few offer “six-tone” sirens that cannot be adjusted or require destruction of circuit
wires to change the sounds (the change is permanent and cannot be changed
again). Your Concept 50x siren is different. As shipped from the factory, it sounds
six different alarm sounds. However, you may turn any of the six sounds on or off
to create a different combination of sound patterns. In all, there are 64 different
combinations. You may set your own Personalized Siren Sounds so if you hear a
siren at a distance, you will know for sure whether or not it is your car. See the
User-selectable features section on pages 16-20.
Long-term chirp silencing: Whenever you wish, you may silence your Concept
50x’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 the User-selectable features section on pages 16-20.
Remote controlled chirp muting: This is especially valuable when parking late
at night in a quiet residential area. To arm or disarm silently, press button 3 on
your remote control instead of the usual button 1.
QuietChirps: You can control the volume of the arm and disarm chirps. As
shipped from the factory, your system issues full-volume chirp acknowledgments.
If you prefer, you may reduce the chirp volume to a level that is clearly audible,
yet less obtrusive. See the
User-selectable features
section on pages 16-20.
Automatic 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 automatically muted to alert you of the problem. Once the back-up battery is
charged, the chirps will automatically be restored.
Noise Abatement Circuitry: Automatically limits siren sounding to 2.5 minutes
even if a door is left open in the wake of an intrusion attempt.
