Description

IMB5 — Vehicle Immobiliser
Prevent theft. Protect access. Drive with confidence.

Short description
The IMB5 is an intelligent vehicle immobiliser that prevents unauthorised use by detecting authorised ID cards within a secure communication area. If no valid ID is present, IMB5 immediately triggers engine immobilisation, preventing the vehicle from starting.

How IMB5 works
ID detection: When the driver (or authorised user) with a registered ID card enters the vehicle’s communication area, the IMB5 recognises the card and allows normal operation.

Unauthorised use prevention: If the system does not detect a valid ID card, IMB5 treats the event as unauthorised use.

Engine immobilisation: Upon detection of unauthorised use, the IMB5 sends a secure signal to disable the engine start system, preventing the vehicle from being driven away.

Recovery & reset: Authorised users can re-enable the system using their ID card or an approved override procedure (configurable by installer/administrator).
