HOW TO USE YOUR CARAVAN’S EQUIPMENT
PROTECT - AUTOWATCH ALARM
SYSTEM
The Protect system is fitted as standard on
the Buccaneer range. Manufactured by
Autowatch. The Protect system is designed
to give years of trouble free operation. Made
with only the highest quality components and
using state of the art technology you can be
assured that your caravan has the best
electronic protection available.
Each caravan alarm is installed with a
Passive Infrared Detector (PIR), a sensor
that detects movement in the caravan. If the
alarm is on, the siren will sound.
Additional sensors can be purchased from
your retailer to enhance security.
See section below for operation or consult

Sensors
Each caravan alarm is installed with a

from your dealer to enhance security.
Passive Infra Red Sensor
The wireless PIR sensor will detect
movement in the caravan and transmit a
radio signal to the alarm module, if the alarm
is on the siren will sound.
Enhanced Features Arming The
System In “At Home” Mode
In the ‘at home’ mode, any sensor that is
programmed to be isolated, such as the PIR
sensor will not trigger the alarm. Other
sensors, such as the leg sensor, will trigger
the siren. Arm as normal followed by a
second press on the arm/disarm button within
2 seconds. Normal “on” tone followed by “at
home” tone indicating isolation is active.
Settling time of 15 seconds before
responding to triggers. Armed in the isolation
mode will be indicated by a double flash
intermittently of the LED. The “at home”
sensors will be isolated; other sensors will
trigger the siren for 30 seconds.
Arming the System in Test Or Buzz
Mode
In the buzz mode the siren will sound a short
tone when a sensor is triggered instead of
sounding for 30 seconds. It is advisable to
test all the sensors.
