    Introduction Thanks for choosing the Bus-Scan ® ALERT. It's a stand-alone system that can send text message (SMS) alerts to your smart phone whenever a child reminder alarm occurs on your vehicle, and displays the location of that vehicle. It is intended to extend the reach of the alarm that is generated when the proper vehicle check has not been performed.

    1.0 FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) How does it work? The Bus-Scan® ALERT uses a micro SIM card (not included)—just like your smart phone. Just subscribe to your carrier's most economical plan, because the usage is so infrequent (it uses data only during an alarm condition). Is it complicated to install and use? Both are simple.

    2.0 Wiring Bus-Scan Alert provides four alarm conditions: Child Check • Panic Button • Door Alarm • Motion Alarm • To provide the most flexibility during installation, the Child Check, Motion and Door alarms have two inputs: One that activates at +12 VDC, and one that activates when Ground is applied.
  • Page 6: Door And Motion Alarm Sequence

    2.2 Door and Motion Alarm Sequence NOTE: Since vehicles have door and motion activity during the course of normal operation, of course it is undesirable to have Door and Motion text alarms being sent constantly. Therefore, we have provided internal logic to activate those features only when required. In that sense, the operation is similar to that of a car alarm—it's automatically armed after the ignition is turned off, and the vehicle has been exited.

    2.3 General Block Diagram All Bus-Scan Alert wire assignments are shown above. Only the Ignition and Panic Button inputs are activated by single polarities: The Ignition (+12 VDC) and the Panic Button (Ground). All others have dual inputs (+12V and Ground), to provide flexibility in installation.

    2.4 Schematic Wiring Diagram 3.0 Setup 3.1 Installing a SIM Card 1. Remove the cover by squeezing its sides inward, and pulling toward you. Be careful not to place any stress on the antenna cable(s) when removing. 2. Insert your micro SIM card carefully into the hinged SIM holder. Make sure to gently slide and latch the card securely in place.

    3.5 Setting the Trigger Point to send a Child Reminder Alarm To help prevent false text message alarms, the Bus-Scan Alert can be set with a trigger threshold. Occasionally a driver will forget to perform the required inspection (and trigger the child check alarm).
  • Page 10: Requesting The Current Location Of The Vehicle

    3.6 Requesting the Current Location of the vehicle Even when a vehicle is not in an alarm condition, it can be useful to know its current location. To query the location, use your smart phone to send a text message consisting of two question marks ??.
  • Page 11: Bus-Scan® Alert Warranty
