have occurred. In the same review
the point was made that because
of the operational need for
operational immediacy vehicles
often now have a generic key.
Now, with a Guardian Anti-Theft
device installed, even having the
‘right’ key will be of no use to
thieves.
Guardian Anti-Theft gets around
this problem with a simple remote
control unit which can be armed
by pressing a single button when
the operator leaves the cab. Even if
the engine is on and the key in the
ignition, the unit cannot be driven
away unless the uniquely coded
remote control is used to disarm
the Guardian unit.
Because Guardian AntiTheft devices are not badged
or easily identifiable from
other components on heavy
plant, agricultural equipment
or construction vehicles, it
is impossible for any thief or
hijacker to readily identify it

is protected by Guardian and
extremely difficult for them to
locate the central control box or
the wiring loom linked directly to
the engine itself.
With multiple millions of
pairing configurations between
a Guardian control box and
its remote controls, there is no
danger of duplication or for
cloning or hacking to get around
the security provided by this
outstanding new product. Even
the most professional of vehicle
thieves will have no insight into
how Guardian can be disabled
and even the most determined
will not be able to detect
For security reasons, Business
Buddy (UK) Ltd – the sole UK,
Europe and USA distributors of
this product – will not be divulging
the precise details of the internal
engineering of the core control
unit which is a mere 17cm x long,
8.5 cm wide and 5.3 cm deep.
Installation is straightforward,
quick - and all necessary wiring
and connectors are provided.
It should also be noted that the
internal engineering of the core
Guardian Anti-Theft device is one
third ‘bogus’ elements and has
rugged semi-potted electronics
within the enclosure. Should
the unit be opened to establish
how the unit can be disabled,
there is no indication of which
components are redundant and
which are not.
