BOSCH ALARM DOUBLE • To help deter vehicle thieves, Robert Bosch has developed two new electronic alarm systems.
The 20c system, priced at 2143.76 plus VAT, is activated by means of a six-button keypad which can be fitted to the dashboard. The driver sets up the system by pressing two buttons on the key pad, which responds by flashing a signal on an LED display. On returning to the vehicle the driver opens the door and punches in a fourdigit personal code within a pre-set time delay to neutralise the system. Any error in the keying triggers the alarm.
The Bosch 201, priced at 2179.11 plus VAT, uses a miniature infra-red transmitter the size of a cigarette lighter which activates the receiver inside the vehicle from up to 10 metres away. Pressing the button switches the system on, or off, and since there are 13,000 variations in the code Bosch claims that every owner is assured of a unique code.
Both of the new Bosch alarms can be used with the Bosch Plus 3 Microtonic alarm, which has a built-in computer to memorise the position of the vehicle relative to the ground' beneath. Any shift in that level due, for example, to the removal of a wheel or an attempt to tow the vehicle away, triggers the alarm.
