AntiScan
Thieves can disarm some other brands of car alarms with a “scanner” that rapidly
transmits one remote control code after another until it hits on the one that disarms
the alarm. Clifford’s AntiScan detects any scanner and blocks the codes it generates.
Anti-CodeGrabbing (ACG) with Random Code Encryption
ACG protects you and your automobile from the most effective and onerous car
stealing device ever used by car thieves — a code-grabber. Code-grabbers literally
record, from hundreds of meters away, the code sent by your car alarm remote
control. Then the thief simply plays back the code when you’re gone, instantly
disarming the alarm and unlocking the doors. Your Concept 50 has Clifford
Electronics’ proprietary ACG technology, which uses complex proprietary digital
signal processing and unbreachable encryption to randomly change the digital code
every time you use the remote control. Your remote will never transmit the same
code twice, and the control unit will never accept the same code twice.
Clifford Electronics also offers an optional ACG interface (#64-128/ACG) to your
electric garage door/gate opener that not only allows you to command your garage
door and/or gate opener(s) via your Clifford remote control, but also protects your
garage and home from burglars with code-grabbers.
Unbreachable Digital ComLink
This ingenious Clifford feature guards against any possibility of a thief tampering
with the system. Concept 50 maintains a coded digital communications link
between the central processing unit microprocessor and the immobiliser’s
microprocessor. If a thief tries shorting, cutting or rerouting these lines, the coded
data transfer will be interrupted and Concept 50 will instantly immobilise the
vehicle and ensure that a thief will not be able to start the engine.
AutoArming
If you forget to remotely arm your Concept 50, the alarm it will arm itself
automatically (“passively”) 30 seconds after the ignition has been turned off and all
the vehicle doors are closed. For your convenience, if you re-open any door(s)
within the 30-second count- down, alarm AutoArming will restart from the
beginning once all doors are closed.
Visual acknowledgment:
Five seconds after you exit the vehicle and close all
the doors, the indicator lights will flash twice to confirm that the AutoArming
countdown is progressing. Then, 25 seconds later, the system will AutoArm.
Lock upon AutoArming:
To ensure you can’t accidentally lock your keys inside
the car, the system is preset not to lock the doors upon AutoArming. To change
this setting, see UltraSecure Coded Programming Mode on pages 16-17.
