BCA-100A Basic Car Alarm

HOME


 

The alarm is designed to lower the cost of theft protection for cars. It’s designed and manufactured in SA. Microprocessor technology makes it very compact, being slightly smaller than a cigarette packet. Installation requires the connection of TWO wires to the car electrical system. It can be installed by someone with little knowledge of a cars electrical system and is well suited to older cars. The alarm is immune to jammers

Note: The alarm is not VESA approved.

 

The BCA-100A is supplied in two versions, the BCA-100A-LPB with a secret push button switch to arm/disarm the alarm. And the BCA-100A-KSW version with a key switch. Both alarms have a status LED.

 

The alarm is usually mounted behind a cover in the driver’s leg well area. With the switch and LED mounted nearby for convenience. 

 

How does it work?

The alarm uses a tiny radar module to detect movement of the car doors, it will also detect a window being broken.  A microprocessor monitors the radar module and controls entry and exit delay’s, plus diagnostics as the alarm powers up and preventing false alarms.

When switched on, the alarm has a 20sec exit delay for all the doors to be closed before being armed.

The alarm continually monitors the car interior and bonnet (if the bonnet switch if installed)

 

Should the bonnet or boot be opened whilst the alarm is armed, the siren will sound immediately for 120sec. If the bonnet or boot are closed, the alarm will reset after the 120sec.

 

When a door is opened, the alarm is triggered but does not enable the siren for 10sec. This is the entry delay. 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 movement is detected and indicate it has been triggered by flashing the status LED approx. twice per second.
