Module Comparison Explained

Explanations for the features mentioned on the previous page.

Standards met	Dynamco takes pride in the design and manufacture of all it's systems. Ensuring systems conform to relevant standards allows our clients to receive unbiased and technical appraisal of equipment. AS/NZS4601.1999 is the Australia and New Zealand standard for vehicle immobilisers. AS/NZS3749.1.1997 is the Australia and New Zealand standard for intruder alarms - road vehicles.
De-activation type	To allow the engine of a vehicle to run the immobiliser must first be disarmed. Jackplug - digital code is transferred through device that look similar to a 6mm stereo headphone jack. jackplug is inserted into and retracted from socket. Touchkey - digital code is transferred through specially moulded hand piece. Touchkey is momentarily mated with receptacle. Transponder - codes are transmitted through air and picked up by inductive antenna mounted near ignition switch. Immobiliser disarms when ignition is switched on and transponder is present. Remote - code are transmitted by radio frequency. Each transmitter will arithmetically alter it's code each time the transmit button is press. This stops theives recording codes and re-playing them when the owner has left their vehicle.
Number of hand pieces	A spare hand piece is supplied with every system. It may be used by another person, as each hand piece is tracked independently.
Battery Backup Siren	When a thief removes the battery terminals, the vehicle horn is unable to sound. A battery backup siren provides it's own self contained power supply. If power is removed the siren will continue to sound until it's own battery is exhausted. The built-in NiCad battery trickle changes it's self from the vehicle's power grid.
Soft tone siren	A siren produces a 1KHz signal sound when arming/disarming. And normal siren noise when triggered fully.
Transponder style disarm	Transponders use induced signals from an antenna mounted near the ignition switch to disarm the immobiliser. Remote controls can be enhanced with transponder feature. Enables the user to disarm the alarm/immobiliser simply by switching the car's ignition switch on. The transponder responds to the ignition switch.
Emergency override	In case of lost, stolen or broken hand piece, all Cyclops systems provide a high security emergency over-ride. The over-ride is a simple to use as counting LED flashes and switching the vehicle's ignition on. In accordance with Australian Standards, the over-ride only allows you to driver the vehicle once per use. When the engine is switched off, the automatic arming ensures the vehicle is secured once more. Simply use the P.I.N again to drive the vehicle further (until the spare hand piece is available).
Auto arming immobiliser	An immobiliser has little use if it requires the user to arm it each time. All Cyclops immobilisers (and the immobiliser section of our alarms) are designed to automatically kill the vehicle engine within 40 seconds of switching the engine off.
Immobilisation circuits	To stop an engine from starting/running, critical circuits must be interrupted. To comply with standards, all systems need to have a minimum of two built in normally open circuit breakers. We also use special energising sequences to minimise contact arcing, which extends the life of each relay.
Immobilisation capacity (amps)	The "size" of an automotive immobilisation circuit is defined by the amount of current it is able to pass when closed circuit. All Paralyser immobilisers (except P275 & P455) are rated at 30amps maximum. Enabling installer to immobiliser practically any circuit in your vehicle. P275 is rated to 15amps, P455 - 8amps.
Doors, bonnet, boot protection	Alarms constantly monitor all connected door, bonnet and boot switches. Opening any of these doors triggers the alarm in full.
Glass breakage protection	Audio sensor monitors all sounds from the cabin of the vehicle. All frequencies except those associated with breaking glass are filtered. Ensures the alarm is not prone to false alarms from vibration.
Audible arm / disarm confirm (horn/siren)	Arming a remote alarm is accompanied by two chirps from the siren or horn. Disarming the remote alarm is accompanied by one chirp.
Visual arm / disarm confirm (indicators)	When a car security system is armed or disarmed, it's an advantage for the indicators to confirm the operation. This feature is most common on the remote system. Where the feature is available, the indicators will flash twice for arm and once for disarm.
Visual alarm warning
LED status indicator	Primarily to inform the user whether the car is immobilised or not, all systems come complete with an ultra bright flashing LED. The second and perhaps a more important aspect is the theft deterrent factor. A would be thief may look for an easier target if they see your vehicle is fitted with a security system.
Diagnostics	When an intruder is detected by any zone of the alarm, the zone number is recorded. Upon next disarm, the alarm will report the triggered zone by flashing both the indicators and the red status LED, the number corresponding to the zone.
Intelligent siren timer	Noise regulation require car alarms to sound no more than 40 seconds per trigger. Triggers also need to be separated by a 5 second gap of silence. Cyclops alarm systems comply with these requirements and go further. Each zone will only trigger three times per arm cycle. If no-one has come out to check the vehicle, the alarm will isolate that one zone, leaving all other still active.
Millivolt sensing	Cyclops alarms monitor the battery voltage of the vehicle. When any accessory is switched on, a very very small voltage (millivolt) drop is caused at the battery. The voltage drop is used to detect intrusion into any entry of the vehicle that is guarded by a courtesy light switch.
Horn pulse option	The siren/horn output of Cyclops alarm and immobiliser systems can send a constant 30 second or a pulsed 30 second signal. The constant signal is used for sirens, so you hear a normal siren sound. When the vehicle horn is used in place of a siren, installers will change the siren/horn option to pulse. Resulting in multiple horn toots rather than one long sound.
Central locking outputs	When a Cyclops remote immobiliser or alarm is armed/disarmed, the module will output signals the can trigger central locking controllers. The door
Central locking pulse extension	Pneumatic central locking systems required three second long pulses to enable the central locking pump to charge it's air lines. Remote alarm/immobiliser may have a built-in feature which allows an installer to increase or decrease the length og the central locking pulse.
Two stage unlocking	Special CPU's have been developed to provide central locking signal which all the user to remotely unlock the driver before unlocking the remaining doors.
Auto re-lock	Auto-relock occurs after a remote alarm/immobiliser has been disarmed and no doors are opened for a given length of time. Doors will be re-locked and alarm re-armed.
Activates courtesy light	Upon disarming a remote alarm or immobiliser system will switch on the vehicle's courtesy light, for thirty seconds, or until the ignition switch is turn on (which ever happens first).
Panic / Car locator	We've included this feature on our P355, P375 & P385 because of the radio nature of the remote controls. While the system is armed, holding the either button for more than four seconds engages the siren/horn and indicators. To cancel the "panic", press the primary button once.
Remote boot release	This is mainly a convenience feature. When a remote system is disarmed, press the secondary button for four seconds to activate a boot release signal. Extra hardware needs to installed for the feature to work. The vehicle must also be able to remotely release the boot or hatch.
Remote window closer	Additional hardware can be connected to a Dynamco remote immobiliser or alarm to provide a complete window closing feature. Arm the immobiliser by remote control and all electric windows will close.
Warranty	Dynamco provides a manufacturers guarantee that control modules are free from manufacturing faults for 24months. Dynamco also provides a manufacturers guarantee that remote controls and sirens are free from manufacturing faults for 12 months.
