OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM
REMOTE CONTROLS - 4 BUTTON x 2
Two 4 button remote control keys are supplied with the system which enable you to arm and disarm 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.
ARMING
Before arming the system, turn the engine off and remove the keys from the ignition. Ensure all windows, doors,
bonnet and boot are closed.
The system is armed by depressing the LOCK remote button momentarily (0.5 seconds). It is important to press the
button for the recommended time as a shorter duration may not activate the system. Verify that the LED on the remote
illuminates. If it does not light, the battery may need changing.
You will notice the indicators flash once and the siren chirps once to indicate that the system is armed. The dash
mounted warning light, LED, will slow flash after 7 seconds to indicate armed mode.
If your vehicle has central locking, and it has been connected to this security system, the doors will lock at the same
time as arming.
ARMING REMINDER
If the alarm is not armed within 10 seconds of closing the last door, the alarm will remind you by chirping the siren 3
times with lights flashing. (This feature cannot be programmed off)
If ‘last door arming’ is programmed ON, the alarm will automatically arm after 60 seconds. The doors will not lock to
prevent keys being locked inside. (See ‘last door arming’)
DISARMING
Press the UNLOCK remote control button to disarm the system. The siren will chirp twice and the indicators will flash
twice. The doors will unlock if this system has been connected to the vehicles central locking system.
4

SILENT ARMING
Press to silently arm the system without the siren chirps – lights still flash.
When silently armed, the shock sensor is bypassed. Disarming is automatically silent.
ENGINE IMMOBILISER
This security system is equipped with an engine immobiliser to prevent engine starting when the system is armed. The
authorised installer of this product should have advised you which circuit has been immobilised. If you require the anti-
hijack feature either the ignition or electric fuel pump should be immobilised.
CENTRAL LOCKING - KEYLESS ENTRY*
This security system has built-in relays to control central locking systems. The system is programmable to operate
standard electric or vacuum systems.
* Certain vehicles may require additional parts to enable the correct use of this feature. These parts are not included in
this system. Kits are available to convert vehicles with manual door locks to electric operation.
AUTOMATIC - LAST DOOR ARMING (PROGRAMMABLE – OFF as default)
The system can be programmed to arm automatically 60 seconds after closing the last door (or bonnet or boot).
Opening a door within this time will suspend the countdown and recommence on door closure.
To turn on ‘last door arming’: With ignition ON, press LOCK for 2 seconds. Confirmed by one chirp and light flash.
To turn off ‘last door arming’: Repeat above. Confirmed by two chirps and light flashes.
DOORS, BONNET AND BOOT PROTECTION
The siren will sound and the indicators will flash for 25 seconds should any of these be opened when the system is
armed.
Note: The system requires your vehicle to be fitted with courtesy door light switches. Fitting door switches will incur
extra costs if not standard in your vehicle.
5

DEFECTIVE ZONE BYPASS
If any door, the bonnet or boot has been left open when arming, the siren will chirp 3 times as a warning. The open
circuit will then be bypassed if not closed and arm after 10 seconds.
An intrusion via a bypassed circuit will not trigger the alarm.
IMPACT SENSOR - 2 STAGE
The sensor is designed to detect vibrations such as an impact, vehicle towing causing shock, or glass breakage
caused by hitting. It may also be triggered by shock waves produced from loud exhausts, thunder and heavy vehicle
traffic. It is not normally triggered by normal wind or rocking motions. If the sensor receives a light impact the siren
fast chirps for a few seconds. It sounds fully for 15 seconds if it detects a heavier impact.
The sensitivity level is set by the installer and should be at its optimum. Over sensitivity can cause false alarms. A
trigger of the shock sensor will not sound the siren if it has been bypassed by the remote.
SHOCK SENSOR BYPASS
The shock sensor can be bypassed to prevent false alarms. Arm the system by pressing LOCK and within 5 seconds
press LOCK again. The siren will chirp 5 times to confirm the sensor is bypassed.
SMART ARMING DELAY
When arming, if the shock sensor is detecting shock or impact – such as detecting the door being slammed, the
system will delay arming until the sensor is inactive to prevent a false alarm. However, the immobiliser is instantly
active.
AUTOMATIC RE-SET
The siren will sound for 5 to 30 seconds, depending on the circuit triggered, after which it will stop and reset to the
armed position. It will then re-trigger on the next intrusion or if a circuit was left open.
PANIC
In the event of personal attack, the alarm can be ‘panicked’ for 15 seconds by pressing the RED button for more than
2 seconds. Press any button to cancel.
6

ANTI-HIJACK (default is OFF)
In the event of an attempted vehicle theft whilst driving, press for 2 seconds to activate anti-hijack. The siren will
sound periodically and the lights will flash until UNLOCK is pressed to cancel. This will also immobilise the engine if
programmed on.
To turn engine kill on: Press UNLOCK and for 2s with ignition on. One chirp confirms
To turn engine kill off: Repeat above. Two chirps confirm
ARM CONDITION MEMORY
Should the vehicle battery be disconnected, the system memorises the last set position of the alarm. If the alarm was
disarmed, reconnection does not cause the alarm to sound. If the battery was disconnected whilst armed,
reconnection will cause the system to trigger. To cancel, disarm with the remote control.
ALARM CHIRP CONFIRMATION CODES
This is an audible indication of system status.
A) 1 Chirp - Armed
B) 2 Chirps - Disarmed
C) 2 Chirps, then 1chirp after door open – Disarmed and indicates the alarm has been triggered
D) 3 Chirps – Arming reminder or light impact of shock sensor
E) Chirps for 15 seconds – Heavy impact of shock sensor or ‘panic’
DASH MOUNTED WARNING LIGHT - LIGHT EMITTING DIODE (LED)
The dash mounted LED shows the status of the alarm;
A) Twice then pause - System armed
B) Three times then pause - Alarm triggered by impact
B) ON for 2 sec’s then pause - Alarm triggered by doors, bonnet or boot.
C) LED off - System off
D) Continuously lit - Valet mode
7

EMERGENCY OVERRIDE - Ensure you know the location of the emergency switch.
At the time of installation, a hidden push button switch was fitted under the dashboard.
If the alarm fails to respond to the remote control, or you have misplaced it, you can override the alarm as follows;
1) Open the door with the ignition key - the siren will sound and the indicators will flash & turn the ignition on
2) Press the override push button for 2 seconds - this will cancel the alarm sounding and override the system.
VALET MODE
To turn on: Press and hold the override switch, then turn the ignition ON – system will enter valet mode after 5
seconds and confirmed by one siren chirp. LED will stay lit to indicate valet mode.
To turn off: Repeat to turn the alarm system back on which is confirmed by two siren chirps. LED will go out.
SECURITY RE-ARM (& RE-LOCK)
The alarm will automatically re-arm if it has been disarmed by remote but the doors have not been opened within 25
seconds. Doors also re-lock if central locking connected.
(This feature may not be operative if your vehicle has interior dome light delay)
IGNITION SAFETY DOOR LOCK - PROGRAMMABLE
When connected to a vehicle with central locking, the doors will lock 20 seconds after ignition ‘on’ and unlock with
ignition ‘off’. If a door is left open during engine starting, the safety door lock feature will be inoperative when the door
is closed.
Press LOCK & UNLOCK at same time with ignition ON to turn feature on (1 chirp) or off (2 chirps).
TEMPORARY PARKING WARNING (default is ON)
If you wish to temporarily park with the engine running, opening a door will cause the lights to flash to warn other
vehicles that someone is exiting your vehicle.
To turn warning on: Press LOCK button and at the same time for 2 seconds. 1 chirp confirms
To turn warning off: Repeat above. 2 chirps confirm
8

WINDOW WIND-UP
This security system has the ability to automatically close all vehicle electric windows when the alarm is armed. Extra
parts at additional cost may be required to enable this feature.
ELECTRONIC SIREN
If washing the engine bay, cover the siren with a plastic bag to prevent damage. Heat or water damage is not covered
by the warranty.
REMOTE CODE LEARNING
If you wish to add further remotes, or a remote has to be replaced, the new remote needs to be learnt into the alarm
system.
If a remote is lost and are fearful that someone may try to use it, the lost remote can be deleted from memory – just
learn the remaining remote – the lost one is then deleted from memory.
NOTE: An irregular or interruption to the vehicles power supply, such as battery jump starting, can cause loss of
remote memory. If your alarm fails to respond to the remote try re-learning them.
TO MEMORISE A NEW REMOTE:
a) Disarm the system by remote or the override method.
b) Open the door and press and hold the override switch.
c) Turn the ignition off/on three times (leave ON 3rd time). Dash LED lights constantly to indicate learning mode.
c) Press any button on the 1st remote. Dash LED will flash 3 times to confirm learning
d) Press any button on the 2n d remote. Dash LED will flash 3 times to confirm learning.
e) Turn the ignition OFF and release the override switch to complete the learning.
If no remote button is pressed within 10 sec’s of entering learning mode, the system will exit.
This procedure can be repeated for up to 4 remotes.
Learning just one remote erases all previous. All existing remotes must be learnt at the same time.
