VanBitz Strikeback Help please (1 Viewer)

@eddievanbitz

We had a bit of an issue setting the alarm in overnight mode last night - probably an operator IDtenT issue ......

i thought the setting was A B B but the alarm sounded as we moved around the motorhome So I read the book but wasn't sure if I should press A (short press) and then A (long press) or just a single A long press. Didn't want to set the alarm off again so didn't set it last night.

Can anyone help please?

Press small button once (not sure which is A or B) until led flashes quickly, the alarm is checking circuits.
After a few seconds press larger button, 3 short blips. Press larger button again, 3 more blips.
Wait to check that led is flashing slowly, alarm is set and all should be OK.
Sleep soundly.

Thanks....I was just typing that. Certainly the way I used to disable the interior alarm

Thanks for that. I "thought" that was what I had done but will try again later. No doubt we will have complaints if it goes off more than once

The book says a long press on the small button but isn't clear as to if it is a short press first

 

[Puddleduck]

I assume it is the little button to take it off in the morning

Martin just asked!

Yes, just un-set the alarm as normal. But remember that this also un-sets the interior sensor disablement, so you need to do it all again if needed

Remember you have 20-25 seconds when arming to complete the command for night/pet mode.. If you press the butons as indicated too quickly then you may not arm it correctly... so basically dont rush

There you go, Page Six

Arm Strikeback in the normal way. Then press “Button B” twice. The system will flash the lights 3 times and beep 3 times after each press. The LED will flash very fast for the first 25 seconds to confirm, then flash the normal alarmed mode. The full system will automatically reset when the system is next activated after disarming from this mode.

Wish I had a strike back alarm on my van - got a wretched scorpion system and tracker already fitted when I bought it. Bloody nightmare trying to set it with the interior sensor turned off

It is all (apparently) fitted by le Voyageur or by the dealer when new and although I hate it after three vans with Strikeback, I can't justify replacing both that and the tracker - but if I win the lottery I'll be booking in at Cornish farm tout de suite.......... if only to admire your new gin palace

Thanks @eddievanbitz .
Our Growler is set EVERY night, no matter how safe the campsite/aire appears to be.
Having bolstered Eddies profits by that amount I’m determined to get value for money out of the wreckage.

Ours is never set at night. The other half worries in case it goes off and wakes the neighbours.

A very timely reminder thread as it’s our first night in the Moho since the alarm was fitted so now alarm all set with us inside!

Had a Growler on two vans now and over almost seven years. As I posted above it’s set every night, home and away, and we’ve never had a false alarm.
We spend about 160-170 nights a year in the MoHo.
Worry not.

Richard.

Depend s on where we are parked up but when we do set it almost with out fail in my morning Kellogg man state I open the door and set it of then spend ages faffing around trying to find the fob to turn it of.

To the rescue...

 

[DBK]

We have a different system but it has an intuitive feature. When set the indicators flash twice but three times when disarming it. The intuitive bit is ON has two letters and OFF has three so the number of flashes tells you what it is doing. A simple thing but it works for a simple soul like me.

Woe, Woe Woe!! All this talk of alarms, we need to get the priorities right! Gin Palace? Pray tell, I'm booked in next week for Growler / Non Starter etc. Question do you have to make an additional booking for the Gin Palace??

Costs extra to look at it old chap..... the money keeps Eddie in beer for the Rugby season.

P.S. ripping XV582 Black Mike to bits at the end of the month for her final trip down to St Athan.....

Ah I see, a Rugby Man thank goodness for that! I cant be doing with all this poncy Football gets on me Pip!
Black Mike is going to be on display at St Athan .... Sort of homecoming for her I guess. Treat her carefully mate!

Guess your beer store is pretty safe then Eddie! 2012 was the last time when Farrell pulled it out of the hat for us. Not by 30 points though
Note to self book Cornish farm 2nd November and 9th November
P.S. Does it have to be 30 points?

If not, then the expression “prizing from cold dead hands” comes to mind. Mind you, the hot chocolate is legendary....... as is the quality of fitting and after sales

All was well ...... it was me being too impatient first time round

Giving a download link is fine when there is a good internet link but I was having real problems getting any connection where we were

No internet at all last night.

Still all sorted now.
