Truck alarm: features of choice

Today, it is increasingly rare to find a car that is not equipped with a security system. Without it, it is difficult to manage both the owners of cars and truck drivers, especially given that the latter often carry expensive goods, the total cost of which significantly exceeds the price of the vehicle itself. Because of this, the alarm for the truck has a more complex system and provides reliable protection against burglary, but it is more expensive than similar products designed for passenger cars.

Description

The security system includes many useful functions, they are easily managed with a keyring. Some options have additional functions, such as GPS, secret circuits entering the motor start circuit, immobilizer, starting the engine at a distance. Particularly popular was the remote launch, indispensable in the cold season and allowing the driver to get into the heated car.

What kind of alarm system to put on the truck?

The assortment of stores presents various types of systems that are selected in accordance with the requirements of the owner and the features of the vehicle. Among them is the following:

• Electronic;
• Satellite;
• Mechanical.

When choosing a particular option, it is necessary to take into account the on-board truck network and select the device in accordance with this parameter. It is recommended for drivers involved in the transport of valuable goods to choose on systems with several sensors that do not have a connection to the central unit. Such devices allow you to guard both the cab and cargo compartment around the clock and securely.

Quite often, transport intended for the transport of food or furniture is equipped with security systems designed for cars, by adding power supplies of appropriate voltage. But such a use case is not rational due to a wide range of devices and the possibility of choosing a system with a suitable cost and functionality.

How to set the alarm on the truck

The installation of the device does not require special skills and can be done by any car owner. First of all, you need to find a point of supply voltage, it should be noted that the negative wire often has a black shell, and the positive one - a red one. Power to the main energy consumers is delivered via separate conductors, to which the electromagnetic relay of the system is connected.

Imported trucks have an electric drive closing the door locks, to which a fuse of 10-15 amps is connected to the anti-burglar device. At the same time, the motor blocking device can be connected to both the starter circuit and the ignition circuit.

Limit switches are the main sensors of the alarm system. They are connected to the normal contacts, which work on the short circuit. In the absence of them, it is necessary to install the limit switches that come with the signaling itself. It is desirable to put them on the doors of the semitrailer and the bonnet cover. It is possible as a parallel connection of elements, and at different points of the system. The latter option allows you to identify the exact cause of the trigger.

Functions

With a modern extensive selection of security systems, it is easy enough to get confused. They are divided into several types and can be equipped with a large number of functions, for example, motor blocking or feedback. In addition, quality alarm for trucks 24v should have the following additions:

• Volume and shock sensor ;
• Reaction to the opening of doors;
• Autostart;
• Two-way communication.

Let us consider the following singularity. The alarm on the truck can be spaced and monoblock. The first option is considered safer, since it consists of several elements located in different parts of the car, and significantly complicates the task of crackers. Advantages of the monoblock design include fast installation and simple operation.

Features

One of the criteria of choice is the conditions of transport. Most trucks are left at night for special parking and parking. Optimal option is the alarm for a truck with a pager, when triggered, a signal is issued on the key fob. So the peace of others will not be disturbed, and the driver will be quickly informed in case of breaking. Pagers transmit the signal over long distances, the simplest system works at a distance of 500 meters.

The use of a siren is sometimes complicated by the corrosion of sensors mounted on the battery box, this can be avoided by sirens with autonomous power. Also worth noting is the existence of a navigator, which allows you to find out the location of the vehicle in the event of its theft, but this addition has only expensive signaling on the truck.
