CA-320 Accent Car Alarm
This remotely controlled alarm is suitable for 12V negative ground cars and has secure radio communication with ANTI-SCAN. The CA-321 is a simplified version without built-in ultrasonic/vibration detectors.
Arming and disarming of the system is confirmed by the turn indicators blinking and by a siren chirp (selectable). While the ignition key is on, the system can not be armed. This protects the car from having the alarm accidentally activated while driving. A visual warning of the presence of the alarm is provided by an LED indicator, which also provides an "Alarm memory" function, indicating which input was triggered.
Door lock outputs allow the central locking system to be controlled by the remote control (programmable output pulse duration). A signal to close electrically powered windows is also available. A built-in current sensor will trigger the alarm if any electrical equipment is switched ON while the "Accent" is armed. The current sensor activates 10 minutes after arming. This prevents the cooling fan from triggering the alarm. Arming of the current sensor is optionally selected when arming the car alarm, and can also be disabled completely in the setting mode.
A built-in ultrasonic detector (CA-320 only) protects the passenger compartment. It detects any movement in the protected airspace. When the "Accent" is not armed, the ultrasonic generator is turned off. This protects the passengers from unnecessary ultrasonic bombardment. Arming of the ultrasonic sensor is optionally selected when arming the car alarm.
A built-in vibration detector (CA-320 only) has a digital filter which provides immunity to false alarms. This detector has selectable functions for warning or alarm triggers. Arming of the vibration detector is optionally selected when arming the car alarm, and can also be disabled completely in the setting mode.
The "Accent" can be armed without the ultrasonic, vibration and current detectors by pushing button B on the remote control.
An automatic Dome light control is provided by an extra door switch input/output (negative trigger). It turns ON the dome light after disarming and the opening of any door. The light will remain ON until you switch ON the ignition (max. 60 sec.).
The car alarm contains two independent trigger inputs (AL1 and AL2). The AL1 is a negative alarm trigger, and the AL2 provides selectable polarity and reaction (alarm or warning). When the armed system is triggered, there can be two different reactions. Warning - a short siren and blinkers signal (0.5 sec.) or ALARM - siren sounds for up to 30 seconds and the turning indicators flash for 60 seconds. An optional wireless pager can be connected (PG-2W). Panic alarm can also be triggered by remote control.
A built in powerful immobilizer (3 relay contacts) can disable important systems (starter, ignition, electrical fuel pump etc.).
The "Accent" provides optional REARM and AUTOIMMO functions. REARM checks if the car has been entered within one minute of disarming. If not, the alarm is automatically rearmed and the doors are locked again. AUTOIMMO function will block the car automatically 5 minutes after ignition key is turned off. Optional functions can be modified in setting mode by a professional mechanic after installation.
