The Centurion S-9 is equipped with a conversational code that increases its resistance to electronic hacking

. The transfer of this code from the key fob to the system is that the latter does not immediately execute the command. The alarm sends a coded confirmation request to the key fob. The key fob, in turn, generates feedback and sends it to the system, which, if the answer is correct, executes the command. This action lasts a fraction of a second.

Centurion S-9 comes with two key fobs. One of them has an LCD display

. It displays data on the security status of the vehicle. This information is updated every time a command is executed, sensors are triggered, modes are programmed, and so on.

Some problems with the alarm system and their solutions

1. Battery The battery in the control panel is dead; it can be fixed by replacing it.
2. Radio interference. Quite often, radio waves interfere with the operation of the security system. You should bring the key fob close to the alarm receiver.
3. Battery. It is possible that the battery has died, resulting in a lack of voltage in the network.

There are situations when, in order to restore the functionality of the security system, you need to know the model of the alarm, but the owner does not know the brand, then identification should be carried out using the key fob. For example, the Tango and Twist keychains are almost identical to each other, but differ from the Xanta model range.

As customer reviews show, Centurion brand alarms are quite popular among motorists. They have earned their popularity due to their reasonable price and excellent quality.
