Vodaphone alarm

[Robo69]

Hi All,
I have recently changed my motorhome and the new to me van has a Vodaphone A46 alarm fitted. I’m assuming this was an after market fitment rather than an Autotrail supplied option, but of course I could be wrong. The van is a 2017 Apache.
Unfortunately I have little information other than knowing that it is armed by the remote locking. I just wondered if the doors etc are armed when the vehicle is locked from the inside using the lock switch on the dash. Any info on this alarm would be a great help.

If you are unsure, have a look at the boot/garage opening, the habitation door, inside the bonnet etc for sensors, armed when contact broken. As a last resort, arm the alarms and try opening various external doors.

Thank you both, I will try what you have suggested. There are sensors on the lockers and bonnet.

Why don't you just try it rather than second guessing.
Nobody take a blind bit of notice when car alarms go off.

I have a 2013 Auto Trail Mohawk for mine the dash button activates the central locking for all doors but does not set the alarm, the alarm sets when you lock the doors with the fob or the key in the door. As said above play with the different options to see what happens.

Thanks Diabalo,
That does help and I will have a play around.

That's the same for our system except that when key is used to lock the doors the alarm is not set, only by using the fib.

You could be right St Bognor about locking with the key, note to self check next time at van.

The other thing is when I lock from inside with the dash button the red light on the button stays on for a few seconds then goes out, also the step retracts, but that may just be the my set up as the step is programmable for when it opens and closes automatically. So you may have to be mindful that the step maybe retracted if you don't unlock from the inside to make them deploy.

Thanks all, I tried It this evening and you are right the dash lock just locks the doors with out setting any alarm. I’m not sure if it’s possible with this system to actually have the perimeter alarm on whilst in the van.
I have to say I rarely stay anywhere where I’ve felt I need to do that but just wondered.
