Operating your security system

Remote Controls
Two remote controls are supplied with the system which enable you to arm and disarm the your security system. One remote control should be kept with your car keys and the other with your spare car keys in a safe place. We do not recommend leaving the spare remote and car keys in the vehicle.

Rolling code Remote Controls
The security code of your security system changes each time you press the remote control button. This coding system is completely random therefor eliminating the possibility of recording it (code grabbing). As there are billions of code combinations the chances of duplication are literally billions to one. Additional remote controls may be added as the security system can memorise up to four remote controls.

Code Learning
The main security module has a learning capacity to memorise the remote programmed into it. The two remotes supplied are pre-learned and have different I.D. codes to each other. The module can memorise up to four. If you wish to add further remotes, or a remote control is has to be replaced, the new remote (s) needs to be learnt into the main module. If for instance you have lost a remote, and are fearful that someone may try to use it, the lost remote can be deleted from memory.
Please return your vehicle to an authorised installer to carry out this procedure.

Arming the system
Before arming the system, turn off and remove the keys from the ignition. Close all doors and windows, and check that the bonnet and boot are closed. The system is armed by pressing button one on the remote control momentarily (1.0 to 1.5 seconds).
It is important to press the button for the recommended as a shorter time may not activate the system. Verify that the small red LED on the remote illuminates.
You will notice the indicators will flash once and the siren will chirp once to indicate that the system is arming.
The dashboard warning LED will slowly flash to indicate armed mode.
If your vehicle has central locking, and has been connected to this security system, the doors will lock while the system is arming.

Dis-Arming the system
Press button one, on the remote control to disarm the system. The siren will chirp twice  and the indicators will flask twice. If your vehicle has central locking, and has been connected to this security system, the doors will unlock while the system is disarming.

Silent arming / disarming (without the chirps)
Press button two followed by button one to silently arm or disarm the system. The chirps may be permanently turned off at the time of installation.

Automatic engine start disable
This security system automatically disables the circuit to prevent engine starting. The engine will be automatically disabled in 60 seconds. (To start the engine, press button once to arm and press button one again to disarm)

Automatic (last door) arming - Programmable
This feature is factory set in the "off" position. You may choose to have this feature "on" for added security. Upon closing the last door, the system fast flashes the LED for 30 seconds, after which it chirps the siren once and gives one flash of the indicators to indicate the system has automatically armed. Opening the door during the 30-second countdown will suspend the countdown and re-start on door closure.

Security re-arm
The alarm will automatically re-arm if it has been disarmed by remote but a door has not been opened within 30 seconds. This is independent of whether or not automatic arming

Panic by remote
In the event of personal attack, or you suspect that your motor vehicle is being tampered with, the alarm can be "panicked" by pressing button one on the remote for more than 3 seconds. The siren will sound and the indicators will flash for 30 seconds. To cancel the panic earlier, press the button one on the remote (Panic can operate with the ignition on or in Valet mode)

Doors, Boot and Bonnet
The siren will sound for 30 seconds each time any of these are opened when the system is armed. If one of these is left open the siren will cycle 3 (30-second) times. The system does require the vehicle to be fitted with courtesy light door switches for these to trigger the alarm. If these are not fitted to your vehicle the alarm will not operate correctly. Fitting or replacing door switches will incur extra costs.

Instantaneous arming / trigger
The system is immediately armed when set by remote, or after 30 seconds if programmed for automatic arming. The siren sounds immediately when triggered.

Automatic reset
The siren will sound for 30 seconds after which, it will stop and reset to the armed position. It will then re-trigger on the next intrusion.

Indicator flashing
When the siren sounds, the indicators flash simultaneously.

Intrusion Alert
When disarming, if the siren chirps four times and the indicators flash 3 times you know the system has been triggered. Refer to "LED Flash Codes" to show which circuit has been triggered.


Indicator (light flash) confirmation codes
This is a visual indication of system status.

Flashes Status
1 Flash System Armed
2 Flashes System Disarmed
3 Flashes System Disarmed and previously triggered
Flashing System Armed - the alarm was triggered and is sounding

Chirp confirmation codes
This is an audible indication of system status.

Chirps Status
1 Chirp System Armed - Full seal achieved
2 Chirps System Disarmed - System has not been triggered
3 Chirps System Armed - Door, boot or bonnet may be open.
4 Chirps System Armed - The alarm has been triggered.

Dash mounted warning light - Light Emitting Diode (LED)
Located on or near the dash board area, the LED is a small flashing light that indicates the vehicle is fitted with a security system. The LED also tells the status of the alarm, intrusion and security integrity codes. Turning the ignition "on" resets the flash codes.

Flashes Status
Slow flashing System armed
Not flashing System disarmed
Fast flashing 30 second countdown of automatic functions
On permanently System in valet mode
1 flash & pause Indicates the shock sensor has been triggered or defect by-pass when the system was armed
2 flash & pause Indicates bonnet or boot has been opened or defect by-pass when the system was armed
3 flash & pause Indicates a door has been opened and triggered or defect by-pass when the system was armed

Valet mode (Dashboard LED permanently on)
Valet mode turns off the alarm system but still allows the remote operation of the central locking if connected. Valet mode should only be used when you intentionally want to disable the alarm, such as when the vehicle is in for service or is being parked by an attendant. 

To activate:
Turn on the ignition and press the over-ride push-button once. The dashboard LED will now stay permanently on indicating valet mode.
To return the system to its normal operation, repeat the above step.


Override function
In the case of your remote control is not able to operate the security system, when the system is armed and alarming, turn on the ignition and press the over-ride push-button once to momentarily override the security system.

2 stage impact (Inertia) sensor
This sensor is designed to detect impact to the vehicle such as to the body-work, glass breakage or vehicle towing. It should not be triggered by normal wind, or rocking motions or frequencies similar to that of shattering glass.
Each time the "pre-Warn" sensor receives a firm impact, the siren will "tweet" six times as a warning. If the sensor receives a heavier impact, the analyser circuit will determine this and sound the siren for 30 seconds. The sensitivity level is set by the installer and should set be at its optimum. Avoid over sensitivity, as people nearby may not respond due to too many false alarms. (This type of sensor may not prevent wheel theft, we advise the fittment of lock nuts.)

Auxiliary outputs - (electric boot release - if vehicle already equipped)
The system provides 2 auxiliary outputs and can be connected to control an electric boot release or any other desired circuit. 
Channel 2
Pressing button two for 2.5 seconds activates this auxiliary output for 0.8 seconds.
Channel 3
Pressing both buttons for at least 1.5 seconds activates this auxiliary output for as long as both the buttons are pressed.

Ignition safety door lock - programmable
If the system has been connected to the vehicles central locking, the doors will lock 3 seconds after ignition  "on" and unlock with ignition "off". If a door is left open for more than 3 seconds after the ignition has been turned on the safety door lock feature will be inoperative.

Central locking - (additional parts may be required at extra cost)
This security system has built in relays to operate a vehicles' existing central locking system by remote control. When connected, the doors will lock or unlock at the same time as arming or disarming.

Sensor-disable by remote
There are times when you may wish to deactivate sensors such as impact / glass breakage sensor, and the optional interior microwave or ultra sonic sensors, to prevent false alarms through heavy traffic noise or other disturbances.
To turn off these sensors but arm the doors, boot and bonnet, press button one as normal and then press buttons one and two together within 5 seconds. You will hear another long chirp indicating the sensors are turned off.

Anti Car-Jack feature - (programmable)
This security system features three optional forms of anti car-jacking protection. The anti Car-jacking features may be activated by 1.) Turning "on" the ignition switch, 2.) Opening and closing a door after the ignition has been turned on, or 3.) By pressing the 3rd channel output. But only when the ignition is on.

The anti car-jacking feature automatically activates as described below for each of the three described conditions, provided that each has been programmed to operate. 
1. In each of the three methods, the vehicle operator has 53 seconds to press the valet switch to cancel the anti car-jacking feature. 
2. If not canceled, at 53 seconds the siren will start chirping to remind the operator that anti car-jacking may still be canceled by pressing the Valet Switch.
3. At 60 seconds, the anti car-jacking feature fully engages, sounding the siren and flashing the indicators.
4. Thirty seconds after the siren fully sounds and the indicators flash, the starter interrupt will engage. During this 30-second period, if the ignition is turned of, the starter interrupt will instantly engage.

Once fully activated, the anti car-jacking feature can only be deactivated by 
Note: The entire procedure must be completed within 5 seconds
1. From the "Ignition On" position
2. Turning the, ignition "off" then "on" again
3. Press the "Valet Switch" once.

When the anti car-jacking feature is fully engaged, the system will not respond to the transmitters, nor will it automatically reset after 60 seconds. The anti car-jacking operation will continue until deactivated or the main car battery is completely drained.

Programmable options
When the system is being installed, there are a few choices to enable or disable certain features. Discuss these with the installer prior to installation:-

Pos. Feature 1 Chirp 2 Chirps Default

Programming the features
The feature default settings are as the above list, but the installer or user can reprogram the features as you prefer. 
The procedure to alter the above options is as follows:-
1. Disarm the system, Turn on the Ignition Switch. Within 15 seconds, press the Valet switch three times, and then turn off the ignition. You will hear 1 short and 1 long chirp to confirm that you have entered "Programming" mode, and then within 3 seconds turn on the ignition. You will now be in Programming mode - Position 1.
2. Press the valet switch once to change to the next position (and so on) The position you are in will be confirmed by as many flashes of the dash LED (ie 3 flashes and a pause means you are in Position 3)
3. Press the remote button1 (Ch1) to set the feature on with 1 chirp confirmation, or press button 2 (Ch2) to set the feature off with 2 chirps to confirm.
4. Press the valet switch once to change to the next position (and repeat # 3)

Security upgrades
Microwave (Radar) interior / exterior sensor - single zone or dual zone options.
An invisible radar beam protects the interior of your vehicle. Any mass physical movement within this beam triggers the alarm. Suitable for enclosed or convertible vehicles. The single zone model provides interior protection only, whilst the dual zone offers perimeter protection as well as interior.

Ultrasonic interior sensor
High frequency sound protects the interior of your vehicle and any changes to the interior environment will trigger the alarm. Only suitable for fully enclosed vehicles.

Power Window lifters
When you arm the security system this upgrade will automatically wind up the vehicles electric windows.
