REALLY USEFUL TOOLS!
One of the critical components of an
immobiliser system is the coil or antenna
fitted around the ignition barrel. When
diagnosing problems with the immobiliser
system, there is always the question of
“is the immobiliser antenna transmitting
a correct signal to power the key
transponder”
…..Now by using the AD30
Transponder Coil Detector this question
can be quickly and easily answered, saving
valuable time and money.
The AD30 is placed near the ignition
barrel in the steering column and provides
a visual and audible indication of antenna
power. Additionally on certain vehicles,

by switching the ignition on, a further
indication of a transponder signal being
sent by the ignition key and received by
the antenna can also be provided.
The AD35 Remote Control Tester has
been designed to offer a quick and
accurate way to test radio frequency (RF)
remote controls and also infra-red (IR)
remote controls. It offers a simple check
that the remote is sending a signal, but
more important that the frequency it is
sending is correct. This is important for
imported vehicles and systems, as there
are a number of different frequencies used
across the world.
Other features include a rear magnet so
the unit can be fixed inside a van for easy
storage, or if you are working on a vehicle
or engine it can be fixed somewhere safe
and not slip off. An automatic power off
also helps conserve battery life.
The new TDB002 & TDB004
Transponder Key Testers offer a simple
check to ensure a key or remote control
has a working transponder fitted and also
provides a fast and easy way to check if the
transponder is responding.
These innovative Testers enable
locksmiths, garages, key shops and other
point of sale businesses to show customers
that their car, truck or motorcycle key has
an electronic transponder located inside
the key, which will help boost the sales of
transponder key replacements. Staff at the
shops and other retail outlets can explain
to the customers why it is so important to
have a spare key - owing to the cost of lost
key replacement when transponders are
involved.
In addition, it is not always easy to check
whether there is a transponder fitted when
diagnosing vehicle key and immobiliser
problems, and so these Testers offer a
simple cost-effective solution, saving both
time and money.
