Hi All

We are away in the mh and i cant remember which switches do what for my growler alarm. I want to set it with the security loop through my scooter

I know the blue switch alters the outside lights brightness but i cant remember if its the red light switch that does the loop or the switch with no lights on it

Can anyone please refresh my memory only used it once before lockdown and just cant remember now what to do

Since 2016, caravans before that, folding Caravan, tents before that
It’s the one with no led
Pushy bottom of switch down, plug the loop in and connect it
The red Led is to switch off the internal siren
To turn off internal sensor when setting alarm press ABB ( to leave dogs inside for example)

Do you really want to discuss your MoHo security publicly, why not call Eddie Vanbitz in the morning.

Were you not asked if you liked ABBA at Van Bitz?
I was, so cannot forget the key fob settings....hopefully.
To arm the alarm when sleeping inside, turn off the internal sensor by clicking the key fob once on A, closely followed by two hits on The B button. The exterior doors, plus bike loop if connected are now armed.
In the morning just hit the A button once, the alarm is now deactivated.
Always turn off the internal sirens, they are wickedly loud as I am sure you know.
Dont do as many do and forget its armed in the morning, or during the night, opening the hab door will wake up the neighbourhood!
Good luck, pleasant dreams.

Same here. I’ve learnt something new regarding the key fob. Will try this out (during daylight hours)

Not next to your neighbours either, stand OUTSIDE the van to test, just in case you haven't turned off the internal sirens:eek::eek::eek:
Good luck.

Yes i do thats why i posted my question
Well why not broadcast to the world how your security system works and make it easier for the scumbags to work out a way to overcome the security of our vans although I guess this is what the internet is for. !!!:mad:

a private message would have done the job. So next time a set of keys are nicked they will know how to overide an alarm.

that's why Eddie Vanbitz is always so carful about both briefing and not randomly sending out documentation. Now let me think the number of my combination lock to the garage is 5544 lick heck it is !

Didn't make a lot of difference if the instruction book is online :doh:

I see no issue with this since all systems are identical and the instructions for changing the settings are Freely available. The potential thief has no way of knowing how it is set and so it makes no difference to him. The only way he will find out if the internal sirens/bike loop are set is to actually break in! :doh:

Something strange here, post 8 quotes Eddie vanbitz, but can't see the actual post that is being quoted.

Then I need to apologise, but to me any discussion on a public forum about how a security system works makes the system less secure.

just edited to say it’s not just if someone breaks I. It’s if your keys are stollen
