Types of old clifford alarm models. Some Clifford problems

Car security systems from the American brand Clifford have been known to Russian car owners since the 90s of the 20th century. Clifford systems have set high standards for the functionality and reliability of car alarms, and also managed to win the trust of both professionals and ordinary users.

Clifford Matrix 350 is a new security system with feedback and the function of automatic and remote start of the car engine. This security system is designed and manufactured taking into account the specifics harsh Russian conditions, differs in convenience and ease of use, ease of programming (the need to change settings is minimized) and can be installed on almost any car model.

High functionality

The security system is equipped with a wide range of security and service functions that will provide additional comfort when using the car. The car alarm provides the ability to block the starter and connect an additional engine blocking circuit. The system is equipped with 2-level shock sensor with the ability to remotely disable zones, built-in relays to control door locks, mode "Valet", siren, outputs for controlling additional devices and much more. Separately, I would like to note the presence of the function " Turbo cooldown"" designed specifically for vehicles equipped with a turbocharged engine. This feature allows you to extend the life of the turbocharged engine and save the owner's time.

Custom keychain design

The security system package includes a compact key fob with color LCD display, which has a non-standard design. The keychain is made in ultra-thin body that meets the latest trends in electronics design. Another feature of the keychain is that it is powered not from batteries, but from built-in battery which can be recharged via the miniUSB port. The set comes with a rubber case protector to protect the keychain from damage. The connection between the system and the key fob is protected by dynamic code.

Remote engine start

Complete remote engine start system universal- it is compatible with automatic and manual transmissions, diesel and gasoline engines, and ignition systems equipped with a button SmartStart... The system allows you to automatically start the engine when the temperature drops below the set value, by timer(every 1, 2, 3 or 6 hours), as well as every day. In addition, you have the ability to remotely start using a key fob.

Clifford Car Alarms Review

ATTENTION! Found a completely simple way to reduce fuel consumption! Don't believe me? An auto mechanic with 15 years of experience also did not believe until he tried it. And now he saves 35,000 rubles a year on gasoline!

Car alarm Clifford Matrix numbered 350 is a security system in which there is a two-way type of communication and the ability to start the engine system automatically and at a certain distance from the car. The car alarm has a key fob that is equipped with a multi-color LCD display.

The keychain, which functions as a communicator, has its own unique and rather expressive design, representing a tablet in a greatly reduced form. The kit itself contains a rubberized case that serves as a projector for a communication key fob. Such a reliable case will be able to protect the keychain itself if it falls, and can also prevent it from slipping out of the palm of your hand.

What features does the Clifford car alarm system boast?

Functions that can be programmed

Functions performed by the remote starting system of the engine system

Often in conferences, questions arise about Clifford alarms. In this small article I will try to answer some of these questions regarding the most common models.

Models, key chains and their interchangeability.

There are three types of old model keychains, two-button, three-button and five-button. In the photos, unfortunately, there are only two types, two-button keychains have a rectangular and black case with square buttons.

Three-button keyfobs are found on the Super-Nova2 and Saber2 models. Five-button - the most common type of key fob, it is equipped with alarms of the Cyber-5.9 models; Concept-10,20,40,50,60; AvantGuard-3; Intelliguard-700,800,900, etc. The color of the keychain body can be gray, black and wood-like.

The latter type of keyfobs can replace three-button ones, but I have not tried the reverse operation. Problems with the operation of key fobs are described in the articles, and the key fob (alarm) does not work part 3. You can add that very often the big one fails - the central button of the keychain, the replacement of the button helps. The keychain LED is also often soldered off.

Keychains may not be interchangeable due to different operating frequencies. American standard band 315MHz, domestic band 433MHz.

Sirens.

I already wrote about Clifford sirens in the Clifford Alarm Sirens article. It makes no sense to repeat yourself. The only thing that can be added is that the Medallion siren is a powerful speaker, the control circuit is assembled in the alarm unit itself, and if you replace it with a simple siren speaker, the latter can quickly burn out. Often there was a malfunction in the form of burnout of the output stage on TIP 31 and TIP 32 transistors working just for this siren.

Battery for autonomous siren: p / n: GP30AAK6Y6 7,2V 300mAh G6
Consists of six batteries C30K - C 5L13E

Instability of work.

This is the sore spot of these alarms. The fact is that when the power is turned off, a slow voltage drop occurs on the alarm processor, then the generator fails and the alarm goes into an incomprehensible mode. We were often contacted with a similar problem and sometimes it is enough for the alarm unit to just lie down for several hours on the table to completely discharge all the capacitors. And then manipulations with the "Jack" button and key chains revive the alarm.

If, after all, the key fob does not come to life, then it makes sense to try to program it again (or the key fob (alarm) does not work. Part 1 or the key fob (alarm) does not work. Part 2). If Clifford has a coded Jack mode, then you need to know the code or try the factory code "2". If all the above operations do not help, then it makes sense to change the memory chip. The microcircuit ratings are usually erased. The memory chip has eight legs and is located next to the processor. Instead, it is necessary to solder a new, obviously clean (from the store) 93LC46 (or 93C46). Then, after turning on the power, try to enter the code "2", perhaps the last operation can be repeated several times. Next, you need to program the remote controls and all functions according to the table for this model, strictly following all conditions and notes.

Chip ratings.

Besides the memory microcircuit, I had to change only one worn out microcircuit. It was ULN20003, it is responsible for the operation of the central locking relay, blocking, additional channels, etc. Therefore, it is not very difficult to calculate it.

Functions of programming tables.

There are situations when, after a failure in the operation of the alarm, undocumented functions are activated. This was the case with the Saber 2 model. The programming table does not indicate the central locking control point from turning on the ignition switch. In this case, you can try to enable or disable a function not indicated in the table, not forgetting that two siren signals indicate on, and one off. If the necessary changes in the operation of the signaling do not occur, then it is better to return the state of the function back.

Important: When replacing the memory chip or other failures, it is advisable to program the state of the functions without connecting the alarm to the car. Because Some functions, for example, central lock operating time, can bring the vehicle equipment out of standing.

Shock sensor.

Several times there was a sensor malfunction on the Cyber ​​9 model, it simply did not work, regardless of the adjustment. An autopsy revealed the destruction of the TLC272CP microcircuit (A).

Volume sensor.

On Cyber ​​- 5 models, false alarms often occur due to self-excitation of this sensor. This is usually determined by a self-test LED. From time to time, the sensor board became very dusty and oxidized from condensation, with the client's consent, this sensor was removed, of course, washing with alcohol and a brush would probably revive the sensor, but since this erases part of the protective layer of the board, oxidation can occur very quickly, especially in winter.
