AUTOLOCKSMITHING SPONSORED BY SECURITY HARDWARE AKL LAUNCHES NEW COUNTER TOP TRANSPONDER TESTER The new TDB004 Counter Top Transponder Key Tester from Advanced Keys Ltd offers a simple check to ensure a key or remote control has a working transponder fitted and also provides a fast, easy way to check if the transponder is responding. This innovative Tester enables 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. Additionally, it is not always easy to check whether there is a transponder fitted when diagnosing vehicle key and immobiliser problems, so the TDB004 offers a simple cost-effective solution, saving time and money. The TDB004 has a large aperture to allow most keys and remotes to be checked, and gives an indication that DATA is being sent by the transponder and the frequency at which the transponder is communicating, by way of LEDs and a sounder. The TDB004 can work off a mains 5 volt power supply or 3 x AA batteries, normal or rechargeable, again, adding to its flexibility and cost-effectiveness. It will run for a minimum of 20 hours with good quality batteries. Extra useful touches include an automatic power off feature to save battery life and a low battery indicator. As a further sales and marketing tool, the TDB004 front panel can be customised to incorporate different marketing and sales messages, translations, different graphic requirements.
