ALARM VOLUMETRIC SURVEILLANCE NOT WORKING

When the alarm is switched on using the remote control, the system is activated correctly but the volumetric sensors do not intervene.

The volumetric sensors operate at a hyperfrequency and are fitted in the two doors, one in each door and are connected to the Body Computer Node by means of a line known as A-BUS.

The volumetric sensors are operated and controlled by the Body Computer via a series of encrypted messages and can be excluded by the customer using the special button. If there is a failure the Body Computer Node detects and memorizes the causes of the malfunction
