How does it work?
The alarm uses a radar module to detect movement inside the vehicle . The microprocessor monitors the radar module, controls entry and exit delay, and prevents false alarms.
When switched on, the alarm has a 10sec exit delay for all the doors to be closed before arming.
The alarm continually checks for movement plus the bonnet and boot (if the switches are installed).
Should the bonnet, boot, be opened whilst the alarm is armed, the siren will sound immediately for 120s after 120s, the alarm will reset.
When a door is opened, the alarm is triggered but has a 4sec entry delay before the siren sounds. If the alarm isn’t disabled within the entry delay period, the siren will sound for 120sec. After the 120sec, the alarm will reset if no further movement is detected. The alarm will indicate it has been triggered by the status LED flashing approx twice per second.

❓ Why doesn’t the alarm use a remote?
Our goal is to deliver an alarm that’s simple to install and effortless to use.
Adding a remote would significantly raise the cost.
Integrating with the car’s electrics would make installation far more complex.
Most importantly, eliminating the remote makes the alarm 100% immune to jamming
How can the alarm use radar to detect an intrusion ?
The BCA-100 uses a small radar module to detect movement within a car. As it uses a radio signal, the alarm can be hidden behind plastic covers in the car.
How does the bonnet switch help me ?
Should the bonnet be forced open to steal the battery or engine parts, the alarm will trigger instantly. The switch is an optional extra yet vey easy to install. It requires a single wire from the switch to terminal 5 on the alarm.
If the bonnet switch isn't used, terminal 5 can be left unconnected.
During the exit delay period, the alarm checks the status of the bonnet switch. if it detects the bonnet is open, the alarm chirps continually as a warning.
