Intruder alarm

Perimeter protection

~1min read

This protection monitors:

  • the doors,
  • the boot,
  • the engine hood,
  • +BAT,
  • +APC.

Case of incorrect closure of openings

The siren emits a short sound when the vehicle is locked if an opening is open.

A time delay starts; the user has 45 seconds to close the opening. Once the time delay has elapsed, perimeter monitoring is activated.

The alarm memorises the open opening and does not trigger:

  • closing the open opening triggers the alarm,
  • opening the correctly closed openings triggers the alarm.

Triggering: perimeter protection

Perimeter protection is active 5 seconds after the alarm is put on standby.

The alarm is triggered in the following cases:

  • when the state of an opening changes,
  • or when the +BAT supply is lost,
  • or when +APC appears.
