CA-01 Car Alarm „Pulse“

 

- instructions, basic installation

The „Pulse“ brand name compact car alarm is suitable for all cars 

equipped with 12V voltage and  a negative ground. The CA-01 is easy to 
install and suitable for D.I.Y. installers. 

Arming of the „Pulse“

 

by the ignition key is simple and convenient. If 

installed, arming can also be done by a hidden push button switch. The 
CA-01 working mode is indicated by an LED indicator.  

The built-in vibration detector has a digital filter which provides a high 

immunity to false alarms. Its response, either a warning or alarm trigger, is 
selectable. A built-in current sensor will trigger the alarm if an electrical 
equipment is switched ON while the CA-01 is armed. The current sensor 
activates 10 minutes after arming. This prevents the cooling fan from 
triggering the alarm. A negative trigger input can be used for a hood and 
trunk sensor, or for any additional detector. A negative door switch trigger 
input provides an entrance delay and this link also works as an Automatic 
Dome light control output. 

When an ALARM is triggered, the built-in siren will sound. It is also 

possible to add an optional external siren in the passenger compartment, 
and a wireless pager. If an external immobilization relay is installed, any 
unauthorized use of the car will be blocked. 

Some features of the car alarm can be customized in the setting mode. 

Basic installation of the „Pulse“ is very simple, but it can be extended if a  
more advanced system is desired.

Installation 

Disconnect the battery before starting the installation. Keep in mind that if 
your car has some memory functions, these may be erased if you 
disconnect the battery. No one should be inside an airbag equipped car 
when the car battery is being connected or disconnected. Refer to the car 
owners' manual before disconnecting the battery. 

The CA-01 unit is suitable for engine compartment installation. It can also 

be installed in other locations if desired. Find a location which is not too 
close to any hot  objects (exhaust, radiator etc.) and which is not exposed to 
water. Attach the unit firmly to a solid part of the car body using screws. A 
firm fix will assure proper  performance of the built-in vibration sensor. If you 
drill a hole during the installation, be sure to avoid damaging any other 
components of the car. 

Route the CA-01 wires with the electrical harness of the car. Check 

each connection made to ensure that it is solid and properly insulated. 
Use only a real crimping tool to make connections. Complete and check 
all wiring before switching on the power.  If you do not use some wires, 
cut them about 10cm from the car alarm unit and fix  with insulating tape 
to the other CA-01 wires.

 

 

Wires 

BLACK = Grounding

 - connect this wire to the original GND point in the 

car 

BLUE = Ignition Key Input

 - connect the blue wire to the ignition key 

switch (+12V when ignition is ON) 

WHITE = Alarm Negative Trigger 

can be used for any external sensor 

GRAY = Door Switches 

input, Dome Light Control output - is a negative 

alarm trigger input. It also functions as the dome light control output. 
Connect this wire to the door switches (we recommend to have switches 
installed in all doors). When a door opens, and the CA-01 is armed the 
alarm will be triggered (after entrance delay). With the system is disarmed, 
opening the door turns on the interior dome light till the ignition key is 
switched on (max. 30 seconds)  

NOTE: The maximum load of the interior light can be 10W. 
GREEN = External Immobilization relay or Siren 

output, +12V, max. 

800mA  (not used in basic installation) 

YELLOW = LED indicator

, drill a 6.5mm (4/16") diameter hole in the 

dashboard and install the LED with its plastic holder. Connect the second 
end of the wire from LED to the ground 

RED = Positive Supply

 - connect this red wire to a direct inlet from the 

positive terminal of the battery. Switch on the power after installation is 
completed.

 

Operation

 

Arming - 

Switch on and off the ignition key twice within 3 seconds before 

you exit the car. The car alarm will start making a ticking sound. This sound 
indicates that you have a 30 seconds exit delay to leave the car  and close 
all the doors. After this period the CA-01 will arm (confirmed by one siren 
chirp) and the LED indicator will start flashing. 

If you hear 

four fast siren chirps when arming

, it indicates that an 

input is activated; for example, a door is not closed properly. If you do not 
close the door, this input will be automatically disabled. The exit delay can 
be terminated by switching on the ignition key. 

Note: We recommend switching off the heater and air conditioner fan 
before arming.

 

 

Disarming - 

After opening the car door (or after vibration detector 

triggering) the car alarm will start to make a ticking sound. This sound 
indicates that you have a 15 seconds of entrance delay (adjustable) to 
switch on the ignition key. Disarming is indicated by two siren chirps and 
the turning off of the LED. When the system is disarmed, opening the 
door turns on the interior dome light till the ignition key is switched on 
(max. 30 seconds)  

If the siren chirps three times and the LED continues to flash, this 

indicates the Alarm Memory. The Alarm Memory informs you that the 
alarm was triggered since CA-01 was armed. You can see which input 
triggered the alarm by the LED blinking pattern (see the following table). 
The LED alarm memory  indication is switched off automatically 1 minute 
after switching on the ignition key.

Alarm - 

In alarm mode the siren sounds for 30 seconds and then the car 

alarm will return to the armed mode. If an immobilization relay is installed, 
it will block the engine (see advanced installation).

 

 

Accidentally triggered alarm - 

may be stopped by switching on the 

ignition key. The car alarm will disarm, but the immobilization relay will 
stay blocked if installed (see advanced installation).

 

 

Maintenance - 

There is no special maintenance required. We recommend 

to check door, hood and trunk switch functions periodically.

 

 

Notes: Each of the detectors and trigger inputs can only trigger alarms a 
maximum of four  times during each arming period. The built-in digital filter of 
the vibration detector will trigger the alarm only if multiple vibrations are 
detected. This provides a high immunity to false alarms. The current 
consumption sensor activates 10 minutes after arming, preventing the 
cooling fan from triggering the alarm. If the power for car alarm is switched 
off and then on again, the CA-01 will return to the same function it was in 
before the disruption in power.
