The CA-550 tilt detector
2/2
MGX51010
The CA-550 tilt detector
installation, operation manual
The CA-550 tilt detector detects movement of the car in two
axes (x and y). No mechanical parts are used in the detector.
Detection is achieved through electronic acceleration metering.
The digital analysis used in this detector ensures high
resistance against the false alarms.
When the alarm is armed
(power supply connected) the reference position of the detector
is stored in the memory after which the position of the detector is
continuously checked, compared and updated. If the tilt of the
car is changed by more than 1
°,
the detector will be triggered.
Specification:
Power
9
-
16V
(DC)
Power consumption
typ.1 mA
Operating
temperature
-40
°C
to
+85
°C
Maximum sensitivity (for both axes)
1° (built-in digital filter)
Angle of operation with max. sensitivity preservation
± 45° from reference (horizontal) position
Installation position of the detector
± 15° from horizontal (both axes)
Output
negative pulse with a duration of 0.5 s
Maximal output load
80 mA
The CA-550 complies with the essential requirements of: 95/56/EC Directive relating to devices
to prevent the unauthorized use of motor vehicles and
89/336/EC EMC Directive - Protection
concerning electromagnetic compatibility when is used for its intended purpose
Wiring:
Red
Power 12V
. It can be connected either permanently to +12V, or to the switching
output of the alarm (where +12V is present when the alarm is armed).
Black
GND
–
connect to the original grounding of the car.
White
Output
- if the detector is triggered the output will be connected to GND for 0.5 sec. It is
short-circuit protected. The output should be connected to the external detector input of
the car alarm.
Installation:
The CA-550 tilt detector should be installed on the floor in the interior of the car where there is no danger
of mechanical damage or high humidity (the lowest part of the floor). Fix it using a double sided Velcro
sticker or by screws. The detector must be installed in a horizontal position with a maximal deviation of
±
15°
in both axis (x and y). If the detector is fixed by a screw, only one bigger hole in the middle of the detector
should be used. The smaller holes in the corners of the detector are not designed for this purpose. The
screw should be tightened carefully so as not to damage the housing of the detector.
Function:
When the alarm is armed (power supply connected) the reference position of the detector will be stored in the
memory (max 30 seconds). The position of the detector is continuously checked, compared and updated. If the
tilt changes by more then 1
°,
the output will be switched to ground for 0.5 sec. Default parameters are re-set
after detector activation. It can take up to 30 seconds (depends on the amount of detected tilt). If the maximum
output load of 80 mA is exceeded, the electronic fuse will temporarily switch off the output. A built-in digital filter
ensures that the detector will not be triggered by a short tilt of the car, caused, for example, by sudden burst of
wind after which the car will return to its original position.
Maintenance
The device does not require any special maintenance. To check correct functioning, we recommend
triggering an intentional alarm from time to time.
Note:
Although this product does not contain any harmful materials we suggest you to
return the product to the dealer or directly to the producer after usage.
