ANTI-NUISANCE SOFTWARE
All Laserline alarm system will automatically exclude the sensor which has generated a maximum of ten cycles. All other sensors will continue to protect your vehicle.

ALARM TRIGGER SIGNALLING
If an alarm condition occurred whilst you were not present, the alarm will signal it through a brief visual and acoustic disarm signal instead of a long disarm signal or by continuing to flash a code on the LED after disarming (depending on the alarm model). You are able to identify the exact alarm cause thanks to the “ALARM TRIGGER MEMORY” or flash code features (depending on the alarm model).

ALARM TRIGGER MEMORY
It is posible to interrogate the systems memory to identify the last 5 alarm triggers which are displayed by flash codes on the LED (depending on the alarm model).

BATTERY BACK-UP SIREN
If there is any interruption of the power supply to the alarm whilst armed (e.g. vehicle battery disconnection or cut wires) the rechargeable Ni-Cad batteries will take over and keep the siren sounding.

CASUAL RE-ARMING
On your return to the vehicle if you disarm the system but do not open any door, boot/hatch within 30 seconds the alarm will automatically re-arm itself (and lock doors if applicable). Useful if you accidentally disarm the system without noticing. Selectable on installation.

COMPACT UNIT
Alarm "brain" and siren combined for under bonnet (only) application.

GLASS BREAK SENSOR**
Additional device that detects the sound of breaking glass e.g. vehicle window being smashed.

INCLINATION SENSOR**
Additional device which is sensitive to the vehicle being jacked more than 1 degree from its rest position e.g. vehicle being towing away or jacking of vehicle to remove a wheel.

MICROWAVE DETECTOR**
Detects a mass entering the vehicle. More suitable than ultrasonics if an open top or cabriolet needs interior space protection.

MODULAR UNIT
Alarm "brain" and siren mounted separately due to limited space under bonnet.

PANIC FACILITY
In a personal attack situation depressing button B on the remote control will sound the siren for 10 seconds (or until button B is pressed again)

PASSIVE ARMING
Should you forget to arm the system when leaving the vehicle, 10 seconds after the ignition is switched off and the last door, boot/hatch is closed, the alarm will arm itself. Note the doors will not lock!. Selectable on installation.

REMOTE CONTROL
All current 3 and 2 button remote controls have a microprocessor that randomly changes the code every time the remote control is activated. The same code is NEVER sent twice and the system control unit NEVER accepts the same code twice. Commonly known as random encrytption remote controls.

SYSTEM SELF TEST
This facility allows you to confirm the correct operation of interior sensors/doors/boot/bonnet detection circuits. This is indicated by a series of audible tones/flashing of the dashboard L.E.D, when one of the circuits is triggered within the pre-alarm time.

THATCHAM
The Motor Insurance Repair Research Centre, or Thatcham as they are widely known was established in 1969 by British Insurers. The Centre is independently operated with a Board of Directors drawn from amongst the 31 insurer members who fund thier work. Thatcham's pioneering work in vehicle security field, in collaboration with vehicle and security equipment manufacturers, together with the police has brought about a major reduction in UK vehicle crime. The Thatcham security testing regime is considered to be one of the most rigorous in the world and acts as a model for crime prevention efforts internationally.
