1. - INTRODUCTION.
This system is equipped with a built-in CAN interface
(Controller Area Network) that allows it to detect CAN
data from the electric vehicle platform. The system can be
armed/disarmedwiththevehicleoriginal remote controlor
with the Cobra remote control (if supplied).
2.-ARMING AND DISARMING WITH THE VEHICLE
ORIGINAL REMOTE CONTROL OR WITH THE
COBRA REMOTE CONTROL.
Toarm thesystem pressthedoor lockingpushbutton ofthe
vehicle original remote control or, if the system is provided
with it, the “A” pushbutton of the Cobra remote control.
The arming status is confirmed by:
• vehicle doors locking (with the Cobra remote only if the
CDL connections have been made);
• Audible signals (if activated);
• Flashes of the direction lights (only when the vehicle
original remote control is used);
• LED of the emergency panel illuminated.
The protection features of the system become active after
a 25 s arming period has elapsed (when the LED of the
emergency panel starts blinking).
Button A > to arm the alarm and to
lock doors.
Todisarm the systempress thedoor unlocking pushbutton
of the vehicle original remote control or, if the system is
provided with it, the “B” pushbutton of the Cobra remote
control.
The disarming status is confirmed by:
• Vehicle doors unlocking (with the Cobra remote only if
the CDL connections have been
made);
• Audible signals (if activated);
• Flashes of the direction lights (only when the vehicle
original remote control is used);
• LED of the emergency panel OFF.
Button B > to disarm the alarm and to
unlock doors.
Note: if also the Driver Card is provided it will be also
possible to arm and disarm the system by pressing
its pushbutton.
Thesystemisdelivered withasetof standardfunctionalities
(active functions). The installer is able to activate some
more functionalities (programmable functions) with an
impact on the security and comfort the system will offer.
The following are the lists of the two groups.

4600 USER MANUAL
3. - ACTIVE FUNCTIONS.
3.1 - Interior protection with ultrasonic volumetric
sensor.
The system protects the vehicle interior with a volumetric
ultrasonic sensor. Any attempt to get into the vehicle will
be detected and the alarm will trigger.
3.2 - Perimetric protection with door open warning
diagnostic.
Thealarmwilltrigger byopeninganydoor,bootandbonnet.
Should you have left any door opened while arming, the
system will signal it by 3 flashes of the direction lights and
3audible signals(5 audible signalsif thearming/disarming
audible signals function has been activated).
3.3 - Cable cutting protection (only for systems with
back-up battery siren).
The alarm will trigger if the system is not power supplied
(cutting of cables - battery disconnection) signaling the
sabotage.
3.4 - Engine starting inhibition.
As soon as the system is armed the engine starting is not
be possible anymore.
3.5 -Arming the system with the volumetric ultrasonic
protection disabled.
This function allows to arm the system leaving temporarily
disconnected the interior volumetric protection. The
protectionmust be disabledany time youleave somebody
or an animal in the vehicle. Also if you want to leave any
windowopened pleasedisablethe protectionto avoidfalse

To disable the volumetric protection proceed as follow:
switch the engine off being sure that the ignition switch
has been turned to the OFF position. Within 5 s press the
emergency panel pushbutton and keep it pressed until it
willflash onceto confirmthatthe volumetricprotection only
has been disabled. By keeping the pushbutton pressed
the system will confirm with two flashes that the additional
sensor input only has been disabled, with three flashes
for both of them disabled. The selected protection will
remain disabled until the system will be disarmed. It will
be automatically restored at the next arming.
Note: onsome vehicles thesystem automatically disables
the volumetric protection if any windows is left
opened.
Ask your installer if this functionality is provided by the
system fitted on your vehicle.

4600 USER MANUAL
4. - PROGRAMMABLE FUNCTIONS.
4.1 - Activation and volume adjustment of the
audible arming and disarming signaling.
This function allows to activate a short audible signal to
confirm the system’s arming and disarming.
4.2 - Passive arming.
The system will automatically arm after 30 s the ignition
key has been switched off and the driver side door has
been opened and closed, so 30 s after the driver has left
the vehicle.
4.3 - Auto re-arming.
The system will automatically re-arm if, after 115 s, it has
beendisarmed andno onedoor hasbeen opened(nobody
gets on the vehicle).
4.4 - Auto re-arming with doors locking.
As for auto re-arming, but doors will lock (if the CDL
connections have been made).
4.5 - Passive engine starting inhibition.
The starting inhibition becomes active after 115 s the
vehicle has been switched OFF. The starting inhibition is
immediately deactivated if the Driver Card is detected or
whena correct emergencyPIN Codehas been digiton the
emergency panel. This functionality is totally independent
from the other ones.
4.6 - Confort window closing with Cobra remote
control.
This is a native function of the vehicle, so at first check if it
is available. By keeping pressed the Cobra remote control
pushbutton“A” youcan closethe windowsfrom adistance.
If not you can ask your installer to fit an additional window
closing module.
Warning: for safety reasons we recommend to close the
windows remaining close to the vehicle.
4.7 - Anti hi-jacking.
This function prevents the vehicle for being stealing while
driving. It has been studied to also guarantee the driver
safety. If the driver is not recognized by the system he will
be considered as not authorized to drive the vehicle. The
systemwill generate analarm sequence andit will prevent
the vehicle to start again after it has been switched OFF.

8USER MANUAL 4600
During the normal usage of the vehicle the driver is
recognized by the system in two ways:
- automatic: by the Driver Card matched to the system
(if provided);
- manual: by entering with the emergency panel
pushbutton the first two digits of the PIN Code.
The driver recognition must happen any time the ignition
key is turned to the ON position or when, with the ignition
key already ON, the driver side door is opened and then
closed to get off the vehicle. If the driver is not recognized
within60s theemergencypanel LEDstarts flashingquickly
signaling the missed driver recognition for the next 30 s.
