Electrical connections.
WARNING: to prevent damage to the vehicle electrical system during installation, we recommend to
disconnect the battery negative cable and to reconnect it only after installation is completed. If the battery
is not disconnected, to avoid the possible generation of errors by the original central units of the vehicle, it
is necessary to pay attention during the connections and the use of the installation tools.
Pay attention when joining two or more wires. Avoid to make “quick connections” that do not ensure a good quality.
Also make sure that the wires of the Cobra 469X are routed so that they follow the original wiring of the vehicle to which
they should be joined with the raps.
The addition of fuse is required as specified in the main connection diagram.
In order to avoid human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic fields, the distance of the device
respect to vehicle occupants must be greater than 0,25m
26 ways connector J pin-out
J-1 and J-2 Engine crank inhibition: to get the maximum security level to the system connect the two wires as shown in the
electrical diagrams to prevent the engine starter running. During the cranking phase, measure the value of the current in the circuit that
has been interrupt, to make sure that it does not exceed the technical specifications of the product. Install an additional relay if required.

6. - ACTIVE FUNCTIONALITIES.
6.1 - 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.
6.2 - Perimetric protection with door open warning diagnostic.
The alarm will trigger by opening any door, boot and bonnet. Should you have left any door opened while arming, the system
will signal it by 3 flashes of the direction lights and 3 audible signals (5 audible signals if the arming/disarming audible
signals function has been activated).
6.3 - 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) signalling the sabotage.
6.4 - Engine crank inhibition.
As soon as the system is armed the engine cranking is not possible anymore.
6.5 - Arming the system with the volumetric ultrasonic protection disabled.
This function allows to arm the system leaving temporarily disconnected the interior volumetric protection. The protection
must be disabled any time you leave somebody or an animal in the vehicle. If you want to leave any window opened also
disable the protection to avoid false alarms. All other protections remain active.
To disable the volumetric protection proceed as follow:
Arm the system pressing the “A” pushbutton of the remote control, pressing another time the “A” pushbutton the volumetric
protection (Ultrasonic sensors) is deactivated, the deactivation is confirmed by one flashing of the direction indicators and
one beep.
Pressing another time the “A” pushbutton the volumetric protection is re-activated and the external sensors are deactivated,
the deactivation is confirmed by two flashing of the direction indicators and two beeps.
Pressing another time the “A” pushbutton, the volumetric protection and the external sensors are deactivated, the deactivation
is confirmed by three flashing of the direction indicators and three beeps, or
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 will flash once to confirm only the volumetric protection has been disabled.
By keeping the pushbutton pressed the system will confirm with two flashes that only the additional sensor input 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.
6.6 - Emergency panel LED.
The LED main scope is to show the system arming and disarming conditions. When the system is armed the LED gets
ON and remains illuminated until the 25 s arming period has elapsed. After that it starts blinking. It goes OFF as soon as
the system is disarmed.

INSTALLATION MANUAL 4693-4698

6.7 - Alarms memory.
If the system has gone off (alarm on) during the arming time it will warn you with 3 flashes of the direction lights and 3 audible
signals (5 audible signals if the arming/disarming audible signals function has been activated). It also stores in its memory
the reason of the occurred alarm and shows it on the emergency panel LED. Count the number of flashes and check the
corresponding alarm reason on the table. By turning the key ON the memory will be deleted.

8 - NEW REMOTE CONTROLS AND / OR DRIVER CARDS (optionals) SELF LEARNING PROCEDURE.
(see ‘PAGE 2’ of the “FUNCTIONS PROGRAMMING TABLES” manual).
9. - FUNCTIONAL TEST.
During the first 25 s after the system has been armed all protection functionalities can be tested without triggering an alarm.
Make the following tests during the 28 s inhibition time with the system armed:
open then close one by one all doors and boot - Check if the system is confirming with three audible signal, each door
opening detection.
Check the proper functionality of the volumetric ultrasonic sensor - Make movements, their detection will be confirmed
by a LED flashing.
Open the bonnet then lock the vehicle with the remote control - After 28 s from arming the system will indicate the
bonnet opening with 3 audible signals.
Try to start the engine - If the engine cranking wires have been connected the engine will not start.
Check if the PIN emergency Code works properly - By correctly entering the PIN code the system disarms.
10. - SELF LEARNING PROCEDURE REQUIRED TO REPLACE THE MAIN UNIT OR THE WIRELESS
SIREN REPLACEMENT.
The siren supplied in the kit is delivered already programmed to the main unit. Should you have the need to replace the
siren or the main unit it is required to perform the self learning procedure as follows:
IMPORTANT: don’t perform the procedure on two different vehicles parked closed each other. Their sirens could be
memorized in one main unit only.
A. Power the main unit by connecting the 26 ways connector.
B. Connect the main unit blue wire to GND (only when a wireless siren is fitted).
C. Open the bonnet.
D. Connect the siren blue wire to GND (if not already grounded through the additional bonnet pushbutton).
E. Disconnect the siren 6 ways connector, then plug it again.
F. Within 60 s turn the ignition key ON, an audible signal confirms that the siren has been stored in the system.
G. Turn the ignition key OFF and disconnect the BLU wires of the main unit and of the siren from GND (if grounded through
the additional pushbutton simply open the bonnet).
Check the system functionality arming the system and triggering the alarm to check the proper sounding of the siren.
