THE AUTOMATIC ‘DUAL CIRCUIT’ ENGINE IMMOBILISER
The engine will always be automatically immobilised 30 seconds
after the ignition has been turned off.
(Unless the built-in turbo timer is enabled – see page 6)
This feature must not be turned off or defeated as it is an
AS/NZS Standards or your insurance company requirement.
When the ignition is turned OFF, the dashboard LED will fast flash to indicate the automatic sequence
has commenced. At the end of the 30 seconds, the siren will chirp once as confirmation of engine
immobilisation. The indicators will also flash once and the dashboard LED will slow flash as further
confirmation.
Only the engine is immobilised - the alarm system is not yet armed.
If an attempt is then made to start the engine whilst immobilised, the siren will chirp continuously when
the ignition is on. It stops chirping when the ignition is turned off.
ONCE IMMOBILISED, PRESS BUTTON ONE ON THE
REMOTE CONTROL TO PERMIT ENGINE STARTING
NOTE: If you fully arm the alarm by pressing the remote button, the engine is immobilised immediately
and any attempt to start the engine will cause the siren to sound fully.
The installer of this system will immobilise two of the following possible circuits to prevent engine
starting (current draw per circuit must not exceed a maximum 10amps continuous);
Starter motor
Ignition system
Electric fuel pump
Other engine controlling circuit
4

ARMING
Exit the vehicle and close all the doors (& bonnet & boot).
Press button one on the remote control.
The indicators flash once and the siren will chirp once to indicate that the system is armed.
The dash board warning light, LED, will slow flash to indicate the system is armed.
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.
NOTE: If the engine has automatically immobilised before you had the opportunity to fully arm the
system, press button one twice – once to deactivate the immobiliser and the second time to fully arm
and immobilise the security system.
DISARMING
Press button one on the remote control to disarm the system.
The siren will chirp twice and the indicators will flash twice to indicate disarming.
The doors will unlock if connected to the security system.
If a door is not opened within 30 seconds, the system will automatically re-arm (& re-lock
if connected to your central locking) . See below.
If your remote fails to disarm the security system for any reason, you can disarm the
system by using the PIN override code.
AUTOMATIC SECURITY RE-ARM
The alarm will automatically fully re-arm (and re-lock the doors if connected) if it has been disarmed
by remote but a door has not been opened within 30 seconds. The engine will re-immobilise if the
engine is not started within 30 seconds.

BUILT-IN TURBO TIMER OPERATION
The built-in turbo timer allows the engine to continue running for a pre-programmed time after the
ignition has been turned off. This feature may be used to allow the vehicles turbo to cool down if
excessively hot. In normal driving situations, the turbo timer should not be necessary.
The timer is programmable for duration from 1 to 5 minutes - see ‘programming’.
To enable the turbo timer feature:- with the ignition on, press button 2 on the remote, siren chirps
once. The timer function will now always be ON each time the vehicle is used.
To disable the timer, repeat the above procedure – siren chirps twice – timer is now off.
NOTE: When the engine is running, arming the alarm does not immediately immobilise the engine
or turn on any sensors. An intrusion by opening any door, bonnet or boot will immediately stop and
immobilise the engine and trigger the alarm.
To arm with timer ON:-
Ensure the vehicle is in neutral gear or ‘park’ position and the handbrake is applied.
Turn the ignition off (engine remains running if timer is ON – engine stops if timer is OFF)
Exit the vehicle ensuring all doors, bonnet & boot are closed.
Arm the alarm by remote as normal.
After the programmed time, the engine stops with the immobilisers engaged and
any sensors arm after a 10 second delay to allow for any residual engine vibration.
CAUTIONS ON USING THE TURBO TIMER
1. When people or animals are still inside the vehicle
2. When doors or windows are to be left open
3. If you require immediate full security protection
4. To save fuel
5. Is prohibited by country or state laws or by any other authority.
6. When doing so is likely to cause a risk or danger to others or property
7. When re-fuelling
6

OPEN CIRCUIT BYPASS
If any door, the bonnet or boot is left open upon arming, the siren will chirp once as normal and then
sound briefly to inform you a circuit is still open. If ignored, that circuit will not be protected.
The open circuit (a door, the bonnet or boot) will automatically arm upon closure.
INTRUSION ALERT
When disarming, if the siren chirps 4 times and the indicators flash 3 times you know the system
has been triggered. Refer to the LED flash codes on page 10 to show which circuit has been
triggered.
AUTOMATIC RE-SET
Upon an intrusion, the siren will sound for 30 seconds, after which it will stop and reset to the armed
position. It will then re-trigger on the next intrusion or, for example, if a door is left open.
If a door is left open, the siren will sound for 3 x 30 seconds and then that circuit will be bypassed.
NOISE POLLUTION CONTROL
To reduce noise nuisance and possible false alarms, the system will isolate an individual circuit if it
is triggered three times in succession or is left open. (Eg: 3 x bonnet/boot, 3 x doors, 3 x ignition, 3
x sensor). Reset by remote by disarming and then re-arming, or by turning the ignition ‘on’ then ‘off’.
CENTRAL LOCKING - additional parts, at extra cost, may be required depending on vehicle equipment level.
This security system has built-in relays to operate a vehicles’ existing central locking system by
remote control. When connected, the doors will lock or unlock at the same time as arming or
disarming.
SILENT ARM / DISARM (no siren chirps – alarm models only)
If there is occasion when you don’t want the siren to chirp for either arm or disarm, press button two
then button one within 2 seconds. The chirps may be permanently turned off via the programming
options.
7

SENSOR DISABLE BY REMOTE (alarm models only)
There are times when you may wish to deactivate sensors (such as the impact sensor) to prevent
false alarms. To turn sensors off, but still arm the rest of the system, press button one to arm the
system and within 3 seconds, press button two. You will hear the siren chirp for arming followed
by three tones indicating the sensors are turned off for this time only. To disable the sensors at
some later time after arming, press the 2nd button three times quickly. If the alarm is sounding and
has been triggered by a sensor, pressing the 2nd button disables the sensor from further
detections.
PANIC BY REMOTE (in either armed or disarmed state)
In the event of personal attack or you suspect that your vehicle is being tampered with, the alarm
can be ‘panicked’ by pressing button three on the remote for more than 3 seconds. The siren will
sound and the indicators will flash. Press button one to cancel alarm sounding.
IGNITION, BONNET, BOOT & DOORS
When armed, the siren will sound and the indicators will flash for 30 seconds when any of these are
triggered. If a door, the bonnet or boot is left open, the siren will cycle 90 seconds (3 x 30 seconds)
and the indicators will flash. (If programmed for NSW, the siren will sound for 30 seconds once only)
The system does require your vehicle to be fitted with courtesy light door switches for these to
trigger the alarm. Fitting or replacing door switches will incur additional charges.
CHANNEL 2 OUTPUT (eg: BOOT RELEASE – OPTIONAL CONNECTION)
The system provides an output to control features such as a vehicle’s electric boot release if the
vehicle is equipped (a boot release conversion kit is available as an accessory). This may incur
additional charges depending on the vehicle specification.
To activate;
Press button two on the remote for 3 seconds and the boot will unlock and open
The boot trigger circuit and any interior sensor will be bypassed
Upon closing the boot the bypassed circuits will re-arm automatically
8

GLASS BREAK SENSOR (M60G MODELS – optional on other models)
This sensor is designed to trigger the alarm by detecting the sound of actual glass breakage.
The sensitivity level is set by the installer and should be at its optimum.
2 STAGE IMPACT SENSOR (MODELS M60B/S/G)
This sensor is designed to detect impacts to the vehicle. It should not be triggered by normal wind,
or rocking motions.
If the sensor detects a light impact, the siren will sound a few warning chirps.
If the sensor detects a heavier impact, the siren will sound fully and the lights will flash for
30 seconds.
The sensor is adjustable for sensitivity and is set by the installer.
(This type of sensor may not detect the theft of wheels, we therefore advise the fitment of locking
wheel nuts and our self levelling electronic tilt sensor)
BATTERY BACK-UP SIREN (M60S/G – optional on other models)
Vehicle battery disconnection or cutting the siren wires will cause the battery back-up siren to
sound independently of an alarm trigger. The siren can be turned off with the special keys
provided. You should turn the siren off whenever the car battery needs attention or changing.
CAUTION: Check that the siren has been mounted in such a position so as to avoid water ingress or
heat damage. If washing the engine bay, cover the siren with a plastic bag to prevent water damage.
Heat or water damage is not covered by the warranty.
ARM CONDITION MEMORY
Should the vehicle battery be disconnected, the system memorises the last set position of the alarm.
If the battery was disconnected whilst the system was armed, reconnection will return the system to
the armed state and may trigger the siren.

ALARM CHIRP CONFIRMATION & CODES
a) 1 Chirp - Armed.
b) 1 Chirp/short siren - indicates an open circuit when arming.
c) 2 Chirps - Disarmed.
d) 4 Chirps - Disarmed and indicates that the alarm has been triggered.
e) Continual chirps - Ignition has been turned on when the engine is immobilised
INDICATOR FLASHING (FUSE PROTECTED)
When the siren sounds, the indicators flash simultaneously.
The indicators will also flash on arming and disarming the system.
a) 1 Flash - Armed.
b) 2 Flash - Disarmed.
c) 3 Flash - Disarmed and previously triggered.
DASH MOUNTED WARNING LIGHT – LED
The LED shows the status of the alarm, intrusion and any open circuit when arming.
Turning the ignition ‘on’ resets the flash codes.
a) Fast flashing - 30 second countdown for automatic functions.
b) Slow flashing - system armed.
c) LED off - system disarmed and ignition on.
d) On permanently - in remote code learning mode
e) 1 flash - bonnet or boot has been opened.
f) 2 flash - a sensor has been triggered.
g) 3 flash - a door has been opened.
h) 4 flash - an engine start was attempted.
10

ULTRASONIC SENSOR (optional)
The ultrasonic sensor fill the interior of your vehicle with high frequency sound and is designed to
trigger the alarm when the interior environment changes. Possible changes are the breaking or
removal of glass, a door being opened, or even strong wind through a slightly open window.
For the ultrasonic sensor to operate correctly ensure all doors and windows are closed when
arming the alarm system. (False alarms are generally created by open windows or even strong
wind through the air vents)
Due to the efficiency of this type of sensor, we advise that you do not leave people or animals
inside the vehicle as any movement will trigger the alarm. Should you need to leave people or
animals inside, follow the instructions for ‘sensor disable by remote’ to avoid the alarm being
triggered.
Ultrasonic’s are not recommended for soft top vehicles or vehicles where air movement is likely
within the vehicle.
MICROWAVE SENSOR (optional)
The microwave sensor is designed to trigger the alarm when a microwave field
registers physical movement. 2 fields are generated, one outside the vehicle to give
perimeter protection, and one inside to give interior protection.
Intrusion into the perimeter area chirps the siren as a warning, whilst intrusion into
the interior fully sounds the siren. The fields are adjustable for size and should have
been set by the installer at their optimum. It is advisable to limit the exterior field to
about the width of the door mirrors and the interior to approximately ¾ of the vehicle
width. Do not leave people or animals inside the vehicle as any movement will trigger
the alarm. Should you need to leave people or animals inside when arming, follow the
instructions for ‘sensor disable by remote’.
Note: As the microwave produces circular protective fields, some areas of large vehicles may not be protected.
11

PROGRAMME OPTIONS
AUTOMATIC (LAST DOOR) ARMING - PROGRAMMABLE
This feature is factory set in the ‘off’ position. You may have this programmed ‘on’ for added
security. The alarm will then arm automatically 30 seconds after the last door is closed.
The doors will not lock so that keys cannot be locked inside
If the engine immobilises prior to the opening and closing of a door, this feature is
bypassed. Press button one to unset the immobiliser and press again to arm the system.
The opening of a door, bonnet or boot during the 30 seconds will suspend the countdown
and recommence on closure.
IGNITION SAFETY DOOR LOCK - PROGRAMMABLE
If the system has been connected to a vehicles’ central locking, the doors will lock 3 seconds after
the ignition is switched ‘on’ and unlock when the ignition is turned ‘off’.
If a door is left open for more than 3 seconds after the ignition has been turned on the safety door
lock feature will be inoperative.
SIREN CHIRPS - PROGRAMMABLE
The arm/disarm chirps can be permanently turned off. The indicators confirm the arming and
disarming. The siren will still chirp for automatic functions.
TURBO TIMER – PROGRAMMABLE
The built-in turbo timer is programmable for duration from 1 to 5 minutes.
TURBO INTERFACE FUNCTION – PROGRAMMABLE
This allows an engine to remain running from an aftermarket turbo timer if the built-in timer is not
required. When the turbo timer stops, the immobilisers and any alarm sensors become active after a
10 second delay. An intrusion through the doors whilst the engine is running will immediately
immobilise the engine (all models) and sound the alarm (alarm models only).
12

ROLLING CODE REMOTE CONTROLS
Two remote controls 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. We do not recommend leaving the spare remote and car keys in the vehicle.
The remote security code of your alarm system changes each time you press the remote button.
This coding system is referred to as Rolling Code, or Random Encryption, therefore eliminating the
possibility of anyone recording it (code grabbing).
The batteries in the remote controls should be changed annually or when you notice any of the
following;
System does not respond to the remote signal (see below)
Operation is intermittent
Reduced operating range – less than 5 metres
The LED fails to light
Replace with 2 x CR2016 lithium batteries.
If, for some reason, the security system does not disarm by the remote control, use the PIN code to
override the system – see page 15.
REMOTE CONTROL ‘CODE LEARNING’
The main alarm module has a learning capacity to memorise up to four remote controls.
If you wish to add further remotes, or a remote has to be replaced, the new remote needs to be
code learnt into the main module. If you have lost a remote, it should be deleted from memory so it
cannot be used.
An irregular or interruption to the vehicle’s power supply may cause the remote not to work due to
loss of remote memory. If your alarm fails to respond to the remote try re-learning them (may require
the system to be overridden using the PIN code), or see your Mongoose dealer for assistance.
13

TO LEARN REMOTE CONTROLS
Disarm the system
Drivers door must be open
Turn the ignition ON/OFF 3 times (ignition remains off)
The siren will chirp 3 times, the indicators will flash 3 times and the dashboard LED will
light permanently to confirm you have entered remote code learning mode.
Press button one on the 1st remote – siren will chirp once as confirmation of reception
Press button one on the 2nd remote – siren will chirp twice as confirmation of reception
Repeat for up to four remotes (siren will chirp 3 times for the 3rd and 4 times for the 4th )
Leave the system for 10 seconds and the learning mode is completed. This is confirmed
by three fast chirps and light flashes.
NOTE: When learning a new replacement or additional remote, the original remote(s) must be
re-learnt or they will be erased from memory and will not operate this system.
To delete a lost remote from memory:
Re-learn the existing remote as detailed above. The lost remote is now deleted and will not operate
the security system. When a replacement is obtained, learn both the existing and new remote into
memory as detailed above.

PIN CODE:

TESTING YOUR ALARM
We recommend frequent testing to ensure correct operation.
•Without disarming the system, unlock and open a door with the ignition key - the alarm should
sound, excluding immobiliser model M60i. Check all other doors, bonnet and boot by the same
procedure.
•Check the impact sensor, M60B/S/G, by giving the vehicle varying degrees of impact - be
careful to do this on areas of the vehicle not likely to be damaged by impact. Light impacts
should chirp the siren whilst heavier impacts should fully sound the siren.
•Check the glass break sensor, M60G, by tapping the glass with a coin. Varying degrees of
tapping should be tried to see the level of sensitivity. Be careful not to break the glass.
•To test the engine immobilisers, enter the vehicle and shut all doors, arm the system by remote
and try to start the engine - it should not start and the siren (if fitted) should sound.
•To test the optional ultrasonic sensors, leave a window open when arming. Wait say 20
seconds to allow the sensor to stabilise. Through the open window wave your arms inside the
vehicle – the alarm should sound.
•To test the optional microwave sensor, arm the system and wait at least 10~20 seconds for the
sensor to stabilise. Moving a hand over the outside of the side windows should chirp the siren a
few times. How close you have to get to the vehicle tells you the exterior field size.
•To test the interior, leave a window open when arming and reach in and wave an arm around
the siren should fully sound. How far you have to reach in tells you the interior field size.
