1、 ANSI/CEA Standard Remote Starter Safety ANSI/CEA-885 R-2013 April 2007 NOTICE Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) Standards, Bulletins and other technical publications are designed to serve the public interest through eliminating misunderstandings between manufacturers and purchasers, facilitati
2、ng interchangeability and improvement of products, and assisting the purchaser in selecting and obtaining with minimum delay the proper product for his particular need. Existence of such Standards, Bulletins and other technical publications shall not in any respect preclude any member or nonmember o
3、f CEA from manufacturing or selling products not conforming to such Standards, Bulletins or other technical publications, nor shall the existence of such Standards, Bulletins and other technical publications preclude their voluntary use by those other than CEA members, whether the standard is to be
4、used either domestically or internationally. Standards, Bulletins and other technical publications are adopted by CEA in accordance with the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) patent policy. By such action, CEA does not assume any liability to any patent owner, nor does it assume any oblig
5、ation whatever to parties adopting the Standard, Bulletin or other technical publication. This document does not purport to address all safety problems associated with its use or all applicable regulatory requirements. It is the responsibility of the user of this document to establish appropriate sa
6、fety and health practices and to determine the applicability of regulatory limitations before its use.

9、nutes under any circumstances. In addition, cumulative run times (without customer intervention) for example, in a self starting mode which may be looking to start the vehicle when the temperature or battery voltage drops-shall not exceed more than 30 minutes in any two hour period, excepting where
10、the vehicle stalls. 4 In-Gear Detection Any remote starter complying with this standard shall incorporate a feature preventing a vehicle from starting or driving off after starting the remote starter. In particular, a remote starter shall not start if the vehicle is in-gear. And, if the vehicle is s
11、hifted into gear, then the vehicle shall immediately shut down. If any special steps are necessary for the installer to insure this is met these steps in the directions shall be clearly marked in bold print and with some wording giving the installer ample warning of the issues. 5 Safety Inputs Provi
12、sions for each of the safety inputs identified in Sections 5.1, 5.2 or 5.3 shall be directed in the manual as required inputs on the product. In addition, before starting the vehicle for the first time, the remote starter shall verify that at least one of the safety inputs is connected. 5.1 Hood Inp
13、ut Activating an input after the vehicle has been started via remote start control should terminate remote start operation. If the hood input is active (for example, the hood is opened) at the time a start sequence is initiated, the vehicle shall not start. 5.2 Brake Input An input shall be provided
14、 from the brake switch to terminate an existing run cycle or prevent the vehicle from starting via remote start. 5.3 Service “Valet” Mode The service or “valet” mode can contribute to the safety of the vehicle when it is in service to prevent injury. If a start sequence is initiated while the system
15、 is in service mode, the system shall not start. 6 Vehicle Security Integrity Many vehicles that will have a remote starter installed will have an existing security system already in place. The installed remote starter shall interface with the vehicle security system in a manner that does not disabl
16、e, or compromise, the existing vehicle security system, except during run-time. CEA-885 2 7 Power Handling During operation of the remote starter consecutively, for two times its maximum prescribed run time at room temperature, in an open area, no point of the high current circuits connected to the
17、ignition switch shall exceed a temperature of 100 degrees Celsius. This includes the fuse, fuse holder, harness connectors, PCB circuit traces and relays in the circuit. The manufacturer shall verify these temperatures with suitable test equipment. All wire that is part of these circuits shall be su
18、itably rated to handle the current. This shall be verified by activating the remote starter for two times its run time with a 30 amp load (either resistive or inductive) connected to each of its high current outputs, one output at a time. 8 Product Labeling All remote starter units shall include a p
19、roduct warning with instructions that the installer mount the label in a conspicuous location in/on the vehicle. 9 Government Regulations All products meeting this standard shall comply with applicable federal and local regulations. For example, In the U.S., NHTSA regulations and FCC Part 15 regulat
20、ions apply. 10 Package Labeling To indicate compliance with CEA-885, the following wording shall be used on product cartons, brochure sheets and in general advertising: a) In compliance with CEA-885; OR b) Compliance measured against CEA-885. An example of such wording is “compliant with CEA-885 sta
21、ndard.” CEA Document Improvement Proposal If in the review or use of this document a potential change is made evident for safety, health or technical reasons, please email your reason/rationale for the recommended change to standardsce.org.
