S4 Series alarm technical specifications
Construction
Nylon outer casing, with metal end cone protecting the siren. The housing contains the PCB which is fully potted, so
protecting the PCB itself from; attack, water ingress and component failure through vibration.
Each product can easily be distinguished by the colour of seals between the alarm sections as follows:
S4 C1 Red (Category 1) has RED Seals
S4 C221 Green (Category 2-1) has GREEN Seals
S4 C4 Yellow (Category 4) has YELLOW Seals
For ease of description from this point on each alarm will be distinguished by its coloured gaskets (e.g. the Cat 4 product
is the S4 Yellow)
The all black wiring harness exits the unit and is terminated at set of multi-plugs 20cm from the alarm. A 2m black
harness with coloured tags on the end connects to this plug. The inter-connection is protected by a metal security
housing. This housing must be installed to comply with insurance criteria.
2 remotes are provided as standard on all products. The remotes are anti-scan, anti grab with 2
26
Code combinations.
The remotes for the S4 Red and Green products can be combined with the OE ignition key and OE transponder system if
required.
The S4 Yellow ‘moon’ transmitters have identical coding protocols to the Red/Green transmitter types.
Should a customer wish to combine their ignition key with the remote when they have purchased a Yellow product, all
they need to do is purchase and code in one of the Red/Green type transmitters.
All S4 units contain a Trovan® transponder tag which enables the unit to be scanned to establish identity/ownership.
