Standard Features of the Concept 5O

✔ Thatcham-Evaluated— The Concept 50 complies with the British

Insurance Industry’s Criteria for Vehicle Security as evaluated by Thatcham, the Motor Insurance Repair Research Centre.

✔

Lifetime Warranty

— The system control unit and remote controls are

covered for as long as you own the vehicle (see the warranty card for details).

✔ FACT — False Alarm Control and Test

— Another patented Clifford

innovation, FACT absolutely, positively puts an end to recurring false alarms.

✔ A Pair of 4-Button/12-Channel Remote Controls— Fingertip command

from a distance via the Rosewood or CarbonFibre style remote control.

✔ AntiScan— Blocks electronic scanners from disarming your system. ✔ Anti-CodeGrabbing (ACG) with Random Code Encryption— Since the

remote control never transmits the same code twice, the random code encryption makes the remote control code-grabbers used by thieves completely useless.

✔ Multiple-Car Control— Allows you to command Concept systems on your

other vehicle(s) with the same remote control.

✔ UltraSecure Coded Valet Mode— Ensures that no unauthorised person

can engage the valet mode to turn off the system as they can with other brands of alarms.

✔ Patented Remote Control Code Learning

— Your Authorised Clifford Dealer can match up to a total of four 12-channel ACG remote controls to the system. In addition, the code of a lost or stolen remote can be deleted immediately to ensure that the missing remote control can never again be used to disarm your system.

✔ Unbreachable Digital ComLink— Your Concept 50 maintains a coded

digital communications link between the central processing unit microprocessor and the immobiliser’s microprocessor. If a thief tries shorting, cutting or rerouting these lines, the coded data transfer will be interrupted and your Concept 50 will ensure that the thief will not be able to start the engine.

Standard Features of the Concept 5O (cont.)

✔ Failsafe MultiPoint Autoimmobiliser— Automatically ensures that your

vehicle is completely immobilised while you’re away. While armed, your Concept 50 electronically disconnects your vehicle’s ignition system, starter motor and electric fuel pump, making theft virtually impossible. What’s more, even if a thief were to tear the Concept 50 control unit out of your vehicle, he would Clifford’s Failsafe circuitry assures your safety by making sure that the immobilisation electronics cannot be activated while driving, even if the system fuse were to blow.

be unable to start the engine! And

✔ Remote Headlight Activation Capability

— Remotely turn on the headlights to illuminate your way to and from your car for any duration you wish between one second and two minutes (requires an optional relay).

✔

Remote Window and Sunroof Closure Capability

— On certain vehicles (including several models of BMW, Volkswagen and Jaguar), the addition of an optional relay enables the system to fully close all the power windows and sunroof every time you arm the system with its remote control.

✔ Dual-Sensor Protection— Provides double the security via these two

high-technology Clifford sensors:

The system’s Glass Tampering Sensor detects any attempts to break any of the vehicle’s windows.

The Volumetric Radar Sensor will immediately activate the alarm if anyone reaches into your vehicle’s passenger compartment. Unlike ultrasonic sensors, the Volumetric Radar Sensor is impervious to wind and temperature variations, guarding your vehicle even if the windows are left open.

✔ Remote Controlled Sensor Override— Just a press of a button on your

remote control instructs the system to override both sensors. It’s perfect for those times when you need to leave a passenger or pet in the vehicle.

✔ Dual-Mode Chirp Silencing— Whenever you remotely arm or disarm, the

siren “chirps” and the indicator lights flash. Whenever you wish, you may silence the chirps with either of these two methods:

Remote chirp muting — Just press button 3 to silently arm and disarm. Long-term chirp silencing — A few flicks of a switch is all it takes to silence

the chirps until you choose to reactivate them.

Standard Features of the Concept 5O

✔ Remote Door Locking/Unlocking— No more fumbling with keys in the dark

(cont.)

or bad weather. A single press of remote control button 1 simultaneously arms the system and locks the doors, another press disarms and unlocks.

AutoLock — Automatically locks the doors when the ignition is turned “on” AutoUnLock — Automatically unlocks when the ignition is turned “off”

✔ Patented Smart AutoTesting

— Automatically tests all sensors and triggers

every time you remotely arm and specifically identifies any malfunction.

✔

Patented Malfunction AutoBypass

— Automatically bypasses any trigger or sensor malfunction and arms all other points to continue providing the utmost possible protection.

✔ TotalRecall— Non-volatile memory stores the identity of the last trigger

or sensor activated to provide diagnostic information.

✔ Patented Smart Prior Intrusion Attempt Alert— Specifically identifies the

sensor or trigger activated by an attempted intrusion while you were away.

✔ AutoArming— Automatically (passively) arms itself if you forget.

Visual Acknowledgment — The indicator lights flash twice to confirm initiation of the 30-second AutoArming countdown.

User-Selectable Lock upon AutoArming — Allows you to set the system to automatically lock the doors every time the system AutoArms.

✔ Advanced CMOS Microprocessor— Commands and monitors all system

functions more than 1,000,000 times per second, yet draws less power than your vehicle’s clock.

✔ Remote Controlled Courtesy Lighting— Turns on your car’s interior lights

when you disarm and keeps them on for 30 seconds or until you start the engine, whichever occurs first.

✔ Built-In Indicator Light Flasher— Visually confirms alarm status from a

distance, and repeatedly flashes the indicator lights when the alarm is tripped.

✔ Control Unit with 4 Channels — For accessories such as a remote boot

release, power window control, memory seat activation, remote headlight activation, even remote engine starting.
