System Overview The ZeroRPM ClimateGuard is designed to keep a canine officer safe from heat exhaustion by alerting the handler of unsafe temperature levels through several methods. These include a pager system and an inside-the-vehicle voice annunciator, along with honking the horn and flashing the emergency lights and wig-wags. Simultaneously, the rear windows are automatically rolled down and a fan is turned on to cool the canine officer.

Alarm Temp. Setting End User NOTICE: The ClimateGuard alarm temperature settings must be set for the appropriate geographic area. They will be either (88°/93°) or (90°/95°). NOTICE: There will be a 5-minute snooze delay under the following circumstances: 1) When ClimateGuard is activated, there is a 5-minute period before the system will begin reading temperature.
Fail Corrective Action(s) Place the key in the ignition. Did the voice annunciator state either: 1) “ClimateGuard Active 88° (or (93°)” or T001 2) “ClimateGuard Active 90° (or 95°)”? NOTICE: If ClimateGuard is already activated, the system will not state this message.
