The CA-550 tilt detector 2/2 MGX51010
The CA-550 tilt detector installation, operation manual
The CA-550 tilt de tector detects mo vement of the car in tw o
axes (x and y ). No mechanical parts are u sed in the det ector.
Detection is ac hieved through electronic acce leration meterin g.
The digital ana lysis used in t his detector e nsures high
resistance ag ainst the false al arms. 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 sensitivit y (for both axe s) 1° (built-in digital filter)
Angle of operation with max. sensitivity p reservation ± 45° from referenc e (horizontal) positi on
Installation position of the detector ± 15° from horiz ontal (both axes)
Output negative pulse with a durati on 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 supply + 12V. It can be connected either permanently to +12V, or to the s witching
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 insta lled on the floor in the interior of the car where there is no dang er
of mechanical da mage or high humidity (the low est part of the floor). Fix it using a double sided Ve lcro
sticker or by scre ws. The detector must be installed in a hor izontal position w ith a maximal deviat ion of ± 15°
in both axis (x and y). If the dete ctor is fixed by a screw, only one bigger hole in the middle of the d etector
should be used. The smaller holes in the corners of the detector are not designed fo r this purpose. The
screw should be ti ghtened carefully so as not to damage the hou sing of the detector.
Function:
When the alarm is armed (power supply connected) the re ference position of the detector will be stored in the
memory (max 30 seconds). The pos ition of the detector is continuousl y 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 o utput. 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.
Maintenan ce
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 materi als we suggest you to
return the product to the dealer or directly to the p roducer after usage.
