Key Features of the FIRE ANT® System:
Immediate Alerts: The FIRE ANT® system activates when the engine temperature exceeds safe limits (around 110°C). It triggers an audible alarm through the vehicle’s stereo system, which plays a clear message instructing the driver to pull over and switch off the ignition immediately. This feature ensures that drivers cannot ignore warnings, as the volume is set by the unit itself and cannot be turned down.
Visual Indicators: Alongside the audio alerts, a flashing light can be installed on the dashboard to provide a visual cue that the engine is overheating. This dual-alert system significantly increases the chances of prompt action by the driver.
Text Message Notifications: The FIRE ANT® system includes a text alert function that sends notifications to the vehicle owner or employer when an overheat event occurs and again when the vehicle is turned off. This feature provides a log of incidents, which can be crucial for fleet management or personal record-keeping.
Functionality Without Coolant: A standout aspect of this system is its ability to function even in scenarios where coolant levels are low or absent. This means that it can detect overheating conditions regardless of coolant status, making it particularly reliable in emergency situations.
Installation Flexibility: The device can be installed under a vehicle’s dashboard or behind the center console, allowing for versatile placement depending on vehicle design and user preference.
Professional Installation Recommended: While installation can be done by individuals with basic wiring knowledge, professional installation is recommended to ensure proper functioning and integration with existing vehicle systems.
Preventive Maintenance Focus: The FIRE ANT® serves as a proactive measure against potential engine damage due to overheating, which can lead to costly repairs or total engine failure if not addressed promptly.
Overall, these features make the FIRE ANT® Engine Overheat Warning System an advanced choice for those looking to enhance their vehicle’s safety against overheating risks.
