Proximity Sensor III Your Concept 300 has our unique Proximity Sensor III, which uses digital signal processing to detect movement inside the passenger compartment. If a thief were to break a window and either enter or lean into the passenger compartment, this sensor would detect this movement and would trigger the alarm. Be aware that the Proximity Sensor uses radar waves to detect movement in the passenger compartment. These radar waves pass through nonmetallic materials such as plastic, carpet, glass and wood. However, metal and metallic-colored paint, metallic-colored plastic and even some metallic film window tinting materials will interfere with or completely block the sensor's radar waves. As such, it is not unusual that the Proximity Sensor zones may need a little readjustment when you first have the Concept 300 installed. In some instances, your Clifford installer may need to try a different location for the sensor. Keep in mind that metal objects above or near the Proximity Sensor location will have a significant impact on operation, so you should never place coins, CDs, cassettes (iron oxide tape) or other metallic objects above or near where the sensor is mounted. Your Authorised Clifford Dealer can make any sensor adjustments needed. Remote controlled override of the Proximity Sensor III Pressing button combination and after remote arming will override the Proximity Sensor (confirmed with 4 indicator light flashes). This comes in handy when you must temporarily leave a pet or a passenger in the vehicle. The sensor is automatically restored the next time you arm. How to interpret the LED status indicator The LED status indicator mounted on your vehicle's dashboard or console will inform you of the system status: LED Condition Meaning Off System is disarmed and in normal operating mode (i.e., valet mode is off) On Valet mode is on, the vehicle may be entered without having to disarm Flashing rapidly (ignition off) System is armed and protecting your vehicle Flashing slowly System is disarmed but the AutoImmobilisation points have engaged (ignition on or off) (see page 9) Pause between slow Either a malfunction (see Smart AutoTesting on page 14) or an intrusion flashes (ignition on) was attempted (see Smart prior intrusion attempt on page 15) Automatic Battery-Saving Mode To conserve vehicle battery power (the LED draws more current than the entire control unit), if your Concept 300 system has remained continuously armed for 48 hours, the flash rate will automatically slow to half the normal rate.

Proximity Sensor III
Your Concept 300 has our unique Proximity Sensor III, which uses digital signal
processing to detect movement inside the passenger compartment. If a thief were to
break a window and either enter or lean into the passenger compartment, this sensor
would detect this movement and would trigger the alarm.
Be aware that the Proximity Sensor uses radar waves to detect movement in the
passenger compartment. These radar waves pass through nonmetallic materials such as
plastic, carpet, glass and wood. However, metal and metallic-colored paint,
metallic-colored plastic and even some metallic film window tinting materials will
interfere with or completely block the sensor’s radar waves. As such, it is not unusual
that the Proximity Sensor zones may need a little readjustment when you first have the
Concept 300 installed. In some instances, your Clifford installer may need to try a
different location for the sensor.
Keep in mind that metal objects above or near the Proximity Sensor location
will have a significant impact on operation, so you should never place coins,
CDs, cassettes (iron oxide tape) or other metallic objects above or near
where the sensor is mounted.
Your Authorised Clifford Dealer can make any sensor adjustments needed.
Remote controlled override of the Proximity Sensor III
Pressing button combination
and
after remote arming will override the
Proximity Sensor (confirmed with 4 indicator light flashes). This comes in handy when
you must temporarily leave a pet or a passenger in the vehicle. The sensor is
automatically restored the next time you arm.
How to interpret the LED status indicator
The LED status indicator mounted on your vehicle’s dashboard or console will inform
you of the system status:
LED Condition
Meaning
Off
System is disarmed and in normal operating mode (i.e., valet mode is off)
On
Valet mode is on, the vehicle may be entered without having to disarm
Flashing rapidly
(ignition off)
System is armed and protecting your vehicle
Flashing slowly
(ignition on or off)
System is disarmed but the AutoImmobilisation points have engaged
(see page 9)
Pause between slow
flashes (ignition on)
Either a malfunction (see Smart AutoTesting on page 14) or an intrusion
was attempted (see Smart prior intrusion attempt on page 15)
Automatic Battery-Saving Mode
To conserve vehicle battery power (the LED draws more current than the entire control
unit), if your Concept 300 system has remained continuously armed for 48 hours, the
flash rate will automatically slow to half the normal rate. After 96 hours, it slows to
one-quarter.
