INSTALLATION NOTESAlarm Unit:lMount the alarm unit with the

screws provided in a suitableposition in the passengercompartment.

l The active range of the radiokey transmitter is approximately3 metres but may varydepending on the type ofvehicle and prevailing weatherconditions.

lMount the Emergency TouchOverride Receptacle in alocation that is accessible.This may be in a switch blank,dashboard, glove box etc.

lMount the ultrasonic transmitterand receiver units inside thevehicle and position them toscan the maximum internalarea of the vehicle. Theyshould not be positioned nearair vents. The top of each �A'pillar is the normal position forthe ultrasonic transmitter andreceiver units, being carefulthat they are not fouled bythe sun visors.

CENTRAL DOOR LOCKING COMMANDS

Confirm the type of door locking system the vehicle has andconnect using the appropriate application.

1. Single Point Locking System:For vehicles fitted with a single point locking system (centraldoor locking system can only be operated from the driver�sdoor). Fit the door motor and connect as shown in diagram8. Connect the Violet/Orange to a positive supply via a fuseholder and 7.5 Amp fuse. The alarm is preset for a 1 secondoutput on the Violet & Orange wires (Lock/Unlock).

2. Negative Command Door Locking System:For vehicles fitted with a negative command central doorlocking system connect as shown in diagram 9. The alarm ispreset for a 1 second output on the Violet & Orange wires(Lock/Unlock).

3. Positive Command Door Locking System:For vehicles fitted with a positive command central doorlocking system connect as shown in diagram 11. Connect theViolet/Orange to a positive supply via a fuse holder and 7.5Amp fuse.

4. Direct Motor Control:For vehicles which require the alarm to directly power theexisting door motor wire to operate the central door lockingsystem, connect as shown in diagram 10. For this to operatecorrectly the door motor wires must be negative while themotor is in the rest position.

OPTIONAL HRM - Hyperfrequency Radar Module (Microwave Sensor) InstallationFUNCTIONThe H.R.M. emits a microwave signal which forms a detection envelope within which anymovement will result in an alarm trigger. It is only active when the alarm is armed and takes atleast 15 seconds to stabilise and become active from arming. They are designed to beconcealed behind plastic or fabric trim, which do not affect microwave emissions.INSTALLATIONBefore mounting the H.R.M. it is essential to establish the optimum location. This is normallyin the centre console, horizontally in between the back of the front seats, for 4 seater vehicles.In 2 seater vehicles the H.R.M. is best located at the front of the centre console facing back at anangle of 45 degrees. To do this, leave the H.R.M. until the rest of the installation is complete, then:1. Connect up the H.R.M.2. Place the H.R.M. in your preferred location and go through the set-up procedure.Note A: The microwave detection envelope is transmitted from the adjuster side of the H.R.M.Note B: Microwave transmissions are blocked by metal, so console brackets, radios, seat frames etc. willaffect the performance of the H.R.M. The use of the vehicle must be taken into account, i.e. if the H.R.M.is mounted beneath a coin tray, the detection envelope will be completely changed if the tray issubsequently filled with coins. It is, therefore, essential that the H.R.M. is not mounted behindany area which could possibly be covered by metal objects in the normal use of the vehicle.

3. It may be necessary to move the H.R.M. orincline it to achieve desired coverage.

Note C: Two or more H.R.M.'s may berequired to cover larger vehicles.

4. Mount in the optimum location using thebracket provided.

5. If badly adjusted/positioned the H.R.M. maytrigger from outside the confines of thevehicle. Always check for stray radiationthrough the windows and sunroof.

INSTALLATION NOTES

Note (1) - If additional cable is required, use only cable of thesame or greater current handling capacity.

Note (2) - Ensure that all connections are electrically soundand made through a suitable connector andprotected from water ingress. Poor connectionsmay cause erratic operation of the alarm system.

Note (3) - Take care to route cables away from the exhaust,cooling systems and any moving parts. Secure thealarm's harness to original vehicle's harness or toa good fixing point of the vehicle.

Note (4) - All alarm wiring should be lapped using tape ofsimilar appearance to the original vehicle. Extratape may be added to the vehicle's original harnessto give similar appearance.

Note (5) - The alarm circuit board includes special circuitbreakers which protect the main circuit board andthe indicators from attack by shorting. The 15 Ampfuse in the alarm harness's power supply (Redwire) is to protect the harness from shorting dueto poor installation. It is recommended that thefuse holder and fuse is installed.

Note (7) - Cable tie the ultrasonic and glass break cables tothe main alarm harness siren each side of the2-way connectors to ensure they cannot beaccidentally disconnected.

STATUS HISTORY - DIAGNOSTIC READ OUT

If the alarm has triggered in your absence you will be notifiedby the indicators flashing 4 times when the alarm isdisarmed. The status history will then be displayed by asequence of flashes from the alarm's LED. This will indicatethe following:

1 Flash Door, boot or bonnet opened

2 Flashes Optional microwave sensor trigger

3 Flashes Ultrasonic sensor trigger or glass break trigger

4 Flashes Ignition sense - Ignition turned on while alarmarmed

5 Flashes Voltage drop sensor triggered

6 Flashes Tamper mode

7 Flashes Serial line data link

8 Flashes Serial line data link

MULTIPLE TRIGGERS

The alarm will also display multiple triggers, therefore if thedoor is opened and the ultrasonic then detects movementinside the vehicle the LED will display 2 flashes followed by 3flashes.

CLEARING DIAGNOSTIC MEMORY - STATUS HISTORY

Turning the ignition �On' or arming the alarm system willclear the Status History.

REMOTE KEY AND TOUCH KEY PROGRAMMINGPROCEDURE

Note:

i All Remote keys or Touch keys required to operate thealarm system must all be programmed at the same time.This includes all existing Remote/Touch keys as well asnew keys. Any Remote/Touch keys not reprogrammed atthis point will not operate the alarm system.

ii You will require the unique Pin code number from thecustomer for this procedure. If the number has beenmisplaced it can be obtained by faxing the AlarmTechnical Help Line quoting the model number of thealarm and the alarm�s serial number which can be foundon a white label under the alarm harness cover on backof the alarm.

iii A maximum of four Remote keys and four Touch keyscan be programmed into the alarm system.

iv If only Remote keys require programming it is notnecessary to re-code the Touch keys at this time and viceversa.

Procedure for Programming/Re-Programming:

A Remote key preparation.

B Entering the Pin number.

C Programming the Remote keys/Touch keys.

D Exit programming and test.

Remote Key Preparation:This procedure is not required to program Touch keys.A1 Press both buttons on the remote control until the LED

on the Remote key stops flashing (approximately 10seconds). On releasing the buttons the LED on theRemote key will illuminate.

A2 Repeat procedure A1 for ALL Remote keys required tooperate the alarm system. This includes existing and newRemote keys.

Entering Pin Number:Each alarm system has a unique Pin Code number which canbe found on the card in the alarm box. This Card must begiven to the customer on delivery of the vehicle.

B1 Turn the Ignition ON and OFF 3 times within 7 seconds.The LED will Illuminate for approx. 3 seconds.

B2 Immediately the LED extinguishes, switch the IgnitionON.

B3 Count the number of flashes until this is equal to the 1stnumber of your Pin code (i.e. 2 flashes = No. 2, 4 flashes= No.4) then turn the Ignition OFF and back ON.

B4 Repeat procedure B3 for the following 3 digits of yourPin Code remembering to turn the Ignition OFF and backON after each Code number.

B5 With the Ignition in the On position, push an existingTouch key into its receptacle.IF Pin Number is correct the LED will illuminate.

Note: If at any time you fail while entering your Pin Code.Turn the ignition OFF for 10 seconds and start again.
