Note:
Please kindly noted that optional accessories are not available in the standard package. But they are available for
purchase separately from manufacturer.
2-Knowlege Before Usage:
2.1- How it works?
The CAT-1X mainframe works as a host box with multi input/outputs. The mainframe will process to get GPS
location and various working status from inputs and wireless sensors, and then send those information to preset
Phone Numbers or IP/Port Server via GSM network. Cell Phone or Server software can send commands to control
outputs action and also acquire different information by available commands.
2.2 Factory Default Setting
• Device SMS Command Password: 1234
• IP/Port/APN: Empty
• Alarm Alert Phone No.(A/B/C/D/G): Empty
• Arm/Disarm Status: Disarmed

6/ 20
• Speed Over Limit: Off
• GEO Fence: Off
• Data Transmit Mode: SMS Default when GPRS Parameter is not configured
• Siren: ON
• Automatic Immobilizer in Armed status: Disabled
• Automatic Power supply switch from external to internal when external power low: Enabled
• External Power low voltage Alert Level: less than 11.5V DC
• Re-Arm: Disabled
• Power Saving Mode: Simple Sleep
• SMS Data Time Zone: GMT+0
• Crash accident Logger and alert : Off
2.3 Power Supply
2.3.1 External Power and Internal Power
CAT-1X works with two power supply mode: External Power and Internal Battery.
It's working normally with external power supply range from 9-36V DC. When the external power is disconnected
or with low voltage output, device will switch to work on internal battery automatically. And it also will send"
Circuit Cut Off" or "External power low voltage" Alert to preset Alerts Phone Numbers.
2.3.2 Sleep Mode consumptions and how it works
Simple Sleep when Ignition Off:
GSM Sleep with SMS/CallActive, NO GPRS Connection and GPS shut down
All Alarms Detection working normally
Power Consumption in standby without alarm trigger: 10mA
Deep Sleep when Ignition Off:
GSM Shut down, NO SMS/Call active, GPS shut down
Alarms trigger detection: Off 6seconds, detect 2seconds in recycle
Average power consumption without alarm trigger: <5mA
NO sleep when Ignition Off:
GSM all ON with SMS/Call active, and GPRS connected with Server with continuously data sending
GPS ON
All alarm detection work normally
2.4 Transmitter Operation
2.4.1 Transmitter Button functions
Disarm
Arm
Mute
Panic
(
Siren
)

7/ 20
Arm: Buzzer sound once, or direction light flash once
Disarm: Buzzer Sound Twice or direction light flash twice.
Mute Key: In siren sounding, press this button to stop the sounding.
In panic, Activate Siren to sound. Or in parking lot, press this button for car finding.
2.4.2 Transmitter and wireless sensor Program to Cat-1X box(OVERRIDE)
If your transmitter is lost or damaged, or the transmitter battery is flat, the system can be overridden by
Ignition switch conjunction with Panic Button.
Please follow below process to finish the transmitter overridden operation:
1. Send SMS command to clear all existing transmitter code which stored in the system
2. Disarm the system by SMS command
3. Press and Hold Panic button
4. Switch Key fromACC off to ON position continuously 7times
5. Buzzer will sound once to indicating Overridden mode entered
6. Press any button of the transmitter
7. Buzzer sound twice again to indicate override success and exit overridden mode
If system get into overridden mode, and no transmitter button was pressed or did not receive any
incoming signal during 20seconds, buzzer will sound bibibi three times and exit override mode
After you pressed the transmitter button during overridden mode, but system failed in accident due to
unexpected reason, system also will sound bibibi three times to indicate failure.
You can start the process again until you get it work success.
Note:
For other wireless sensor, like Door/window contact, Smoke and gas detectors follow the same process to
integrate them to system.\
