Hi
We have a Cobra A4615 installed on a Ford Transit base and I am ashamed to say that we usually do not set the alarm at night, which means that we dont lock the cab doors, just rely on the pile of cushions to restrict entry
Next week we are off to the continent for the first time and need to be able to disable the internal ultrasonic detectors so that we can lock the vehicle, set the alarm, and still move around inside
The manual says:
"To disable the volumetric protection proceed as follow:
switch the engine off being sure that the ignition switch has been turned to the OFF position. Within 5 s press the emergency panel pushbutton and keep it pressed until it will flash once to confirm that the volumetric protection only has been disabled. By keeping the pushbutton pressed the system will confi rm with two flashes that the additional sensor input only has been disabled, with three flashes for both of them disabled. The selected protection will remain disabled until the system will be disarmed. It will be automatically restored at the next arming"
I cannot seem to get this correct. It is not clear to me when the alarm should be set. I leave the key in the ignition, turn ignition to OFF and press the remote lock button on the key, which also sets alarm. The alarm LED is on continously then flashes as I first press the button, and then on release, after a while, the LED starts pulsing and then the alarm goes off
The alarm works fine when leaving the van and setting all sensors. I'm sure that this ability to disable the internal sensors was working OK when I tried it last year. Is there some kind soul with the same alarm that can give me some pointers on setting it correctly?
TIA
