Some years ago I bought this alarm but never quite got it installed. I now have a use for it but unfortunately the instruction manual has found an unknown place to live. There is no name or model number on it and apparently never was.

I believe it is an Anes or a Clifford but cannot find anything that resembles it on either of their websites.
Can anybody tell by looking at these pics what it is?

Not home made, as I recall it was expensive when I bought it.

One dial adjusts the alarm delay and the other adjusts the horn run time

Sounds to me like its a timer (a few capacitors and resisters)
not an alarm unit (every alarm i worked with has atleast an antenna and more wires than that)

Trust me, it's an automotive alarm, albeit, not as technologically advanced as those made today but it has a microphone trigger and an input from the interior light circuit and another to connect to any other form of trigger such as a motion detector.

The adjustment are for arming delay upon exit and re-entry and the other for alarm duration.

I'd just like to know who the manufacturer was.

See if you can open it up to reveal the circuit board
most company print their name and the model number on them

Do you really need a manual?  I looks like about 3 wires...12v red..ground black...ignition..that terminal on the side perhaps or to a "secret" disarm...a speaker or siren output..and a mic.

It probably works as such..you turn off key..it arms in a set length of time...you open door..the mic pics this up (or whatever it senses)..perhaps voltage as well..real reliable...lol)  then if the ignition is not turned on in a length of time..it makes noise.

That thing has got to be old..like the first alarm ever made..and it looks home made as well..like a science project...but those knobs are classic..perhaps off an old gibson guitar..lol..those might be worth something...I hope I helped because I am willing to bet that there is no manual in exsistance for that piece..the paper would be disintegrated by now..lol...oh man that is funny...hope you find use for it...

best of luck

I won't argue that it's old but I have a use for it.

Thinking about it though, while it is crude, it would probably be almost as effective as the more sophisticated alarms.  Most car thefts are of cars with alarms, and if the alarm system doesn;t disable the electrical system, 90% of alarms that sound are ignored, sometimes even by the police.

So, if you don't know the answer to my question, then i'll hope somebody comes along that does.
