In December of 2016 I began work on a new design for an anti theft car alarm specifically designed to be used in classic cars.

Primarily, it had to be designed to operate on any vehicle, 6 or 12 volts, positive or negative ground, and definitely had to incorporate an engine kill switch.  But above all, it had to be simple, uncomplicated and easy to install. No multiple page installation instructions in 6 different languages. It also had to be able to be installed and operate on motorcycles or any other piece of mobile equipment, (ATV, or off season recreational machines)  that was prone to theft. It had to be able to accept custom optional add-on modules such as remote control key fob, acceleration, vibration or shock sensors, engine oil pressure loss and engine overheat conditions, or even a rain sensor for convertibles. By early spring, the first prototype alarm was finally in the testing stage, over the following months changes and modifications were developed to the point it is at now.  All summer long, it was demonstrated at car shows from southern Ontario to southern BC. It has been well tested and evaluated by car guys over the summer and has now been in production since Sept 2018.

Vintage Radio Service & Electronics

Zero Volt Alarm & Monitor System

 

Overview

 

This system, by Vintage Radio Service & Electronics, was almost 2 years in the design, build and test phase, and was originally conceived for use in vintage Classic Cars.

It utilizes neodymium magnetic mounts and requires no drilling of holes to mount the unit. Also and foremost, because of the prolonged storage and sparse use of Classics, it uses zero battery current while in “Armed Mode.”  Once a door is opened however, power is only then supplied to the system and is automatically in Activated mode. If the key fob button is not pressed within 12 – 15 seconds, the unit is automatically in Alarm Mode and a 120db siren is activated.  At the same time, an internal relay energises and the ignition system is completely disabled, rendering the engine inoperable. Even if the wires are yanked off the unit, and pulled apart, the engine is still unable to be started.

For those that remove the battery from their vehicles for winter storage, the unit will protect your vehicle for a full year or more on 8 AA batteries. (12 volts) Batteries and clip not included.
