CAR & VEHICLE DEFENDER
CSS Vehicle Sensor
The CSS Vehicle Sensor and Car Defender has been developed to combat vehicle theft, (particularly keyless) offering a new line of defence to deter intruders by raising the house alarm in the event of an attempted theft.
Working in conjunction with your home alarm system, the CSS Vehicle Sensor and Car Defender is a three-axis accelerometer device recommended for vehicle security. With three configurable detection modes, it can be set to trigger for shock only, tilt only, or activate if either shock or tilt is detected. The device comes with a specially designed, brightly-coloured silicone rubber mount, allowing users to strap it to a vehicle’s steering wheel for reliability and visual deterrence.
CSS Vehicle Sensor Features:
- Selectable Detection Modes
Once the device has been professionally installed on the system,
users have the option to configure shock, tilt or either shock/tilt to
their preference by pressing and holding the button on the front. - Tilt only – Tilt mode has one setting, on or off. The device requires a tilt angle of 4° to trigger the detector.
- Shock only – Shock mode has three sensitivity settings; low, medium and high. At the highest setting, the detector will trigger with less force. The lowest setting requires more force to trigger.
- Tilt or Shock – This mode will activate on either shock or tilt detection – an
intruder hitting the vehicle or tilting the steering wheel will
activate the alarm - Universal Mounting
The device comes with a specially designed, brightly-coloured
silicone rubber mount, allowing users to strap it to a vehicle’s
steering wheel for reliability and visual deterrence. Alternatively,
the device can be secured with the included 3M tape for a wide
variety of uses. - Back to Home
The Car Defender secures vehicles within home range of the
control panel*. Where the vehicle has left the home range and
later returned, the device’s supervision will reset after 5 minutes
or the user can reset it manually by pressing the B2H button
on the device, which is the recommended method. The device
will indicate signal strength with a flashing LED; green indicates
good signal strength and red suggests poor.
*Obstructions may interrupt signal strength if the vehicle is
parked on a public road or street outside the property - The 10 Minute Safety Feature
Once users have selected their chosen settings, these are
locked-in after a period of 10 minutes. This feature stops users
accidentally changing the settings and potentially invalidating
the device. Once locked, the settings can only be changed by
opening - Conformally Coated PCB
The Car Defender’s PCB is conformally coated, so it can be used
in changeable environments*, making it ideal for bikes, vans or
trailers too.
*As the device is not IP rated, it is not recommended for harsh,
wet condit
