I hate false alarms, too. My Clifford system has a "dual zone" piezo sensor which detects vibration. The first "zone" is more sensitive and activates a loud, but short, SQUAWK from the siren. The second "zone" detecting more vibration sets off the alarm. The first squawk happens when diesels roll by, or parking bumps occur, or pedestrians lean against your bus. However, you can set the sensitivity of both "zones" separately with the remote control very easily. There is also a False Alarm Control and Test (FACT is their trademark) so you don't experience REPEATED false alarms. Say, you park next to a park for a few days. On the second day the park is turned in to a jack hammering construction site, or an airport. Before sounding the alarm a second time, the system checks for another activated trigger to verify an intrusion is in progress. Regards, David Bogle Brooklyn '87 Syncro Westfalia |
