Pandora DXL-0050L User manual

Pandora would like to thank you for choosing
our DXL-0050L service and security system
Pandora is a brand of Russian Experimental Engineering Factory, a full production cycle
electronics R&D facility. We design and produce car service-security systems for more than 10 years
and have reached a considerable success on domestic markets – biggest security system markets in
the world. Our systems are made to withstand severe weather conditions and criminal situation of
northern Eurasia.
Pandora DXL-0050L is a premium car service-security system, built for cars with on-board
voltage of 12V. It is a complex engineering solution which includes car security system, telemetry,
remote and automatic engine start and various service options, all accessible via RF control remote
that can replace your factory remote. This system is designed to be all-in-one car service and security
solution and requires no additional modules: it includes algorithmic keyless bypass that works with
many popular car models. For even more convenience, it allows remote control over Webasto or
Eberspaecher preheaters – and even sequential use for automatic engine start.
WARNING!
IT IS STRONGLY ADVISED TO HAVE PROFESSIONAL CAR MECHANIC INSTALLING
THE SYSTEM. CERTIFIED INSTALLERS ARE RARE OUTSIDE RUSSIA, BUT ANY CAR
ELECTRONICS INSTALLER SHOULD BE ABLE TO INSTALL PANDORA DXL0050L
USING INSTALLATION SCHEME IN THIS MANUAL AND ALARMSTUDIO SOFTWARE.
MOST FEATURES ARE HIGHLY DEPENDENT ON COMPETENT INSTALLATION.
OUR SYSTEMS ARE THOROUGHLY TESTED FOR QUALITY, SO IF A FEATURE FAILS
TO PRODUCE EXPECTED RESULTS, MOST LIKELY THE PROBLEM IS IN IMPROPER
INSTALLATION.
It is essential for systems functioning that you read and understand instructions in this manual.
Note that all radio devices are subject to interference, which could affect proper performance.
This device has limited external factors resistance. It should not be subjected to water beyond occasional splatter, or operated in
temperatures outside -40 to +80 oC range.
IMPORTANT! Note that this manual describes remote and manual functions for the
most part. Functionality of the system is vast and would require a book-sized manual to
fully describe. Instead we use a handy software named AlarmStudio that functions as both
programming tool and an extended installation & functionality manual. It requires Windows
and can be downloaded at pandorainfo.com
Product is in conformity with Electromagnetic Compatibility
Directive EMC 2004/108/EC and R&TTE Directive 1999/5/EC

If there were new alarming events during the time system was armed, siren will sound 4 times,
and turn signals will flash 4 times, the remote will sound ‘WARNING!’ringtone (after ‘DISARMING’
ringtone) and will indicate zones triggered. All recent alarm events can be viewed in the event history.
Emergency disarming
In case you cannot disarm the system using a remote, use special service PIN-code:
Factory preset PIN-code is 1-1-1-1. Use VALET button to input PIN-code.
Entering PIN-code is available only if the ignition is switched
off.
1. Using VALET button, input the first digit of the code
(press the button a number of times, equal to the first digit;
pauses between presses should not exceed 1 second). The
system will confirm with red LED indicator flash.
2. Use the same procedure to input the second, third and fourth digit. Every input will be
confirmed with red LED flash.
3. The system will confirm correct PIN-code with red and green flashes of LED indicator. If the input
was incorrect, it will be indicated with long red flash. New input can be attempted after 5 seconds.
4. If the system was armed, it will be disarmed after entering the correct PIN-code.
If the system is disarmed and the engine is stopped, after entering PIN-code the system will enter
programming mode.

To independently unlock the trunk, no matter if the system is armed or not, press button and
hold it for 1 second.
If the system is armed when this action is performed, the trunk will be disarmed, shock and
supplementary sensors of the trunk will be disabled. All the other security zones will remain armed.
If the trunk was not opened in 15 seconds after using ‘unlock trunk’command, the system will lock
it again, enable sensors and arm trunk security zone.
Locking/unlocking doors when the engine is running
The system controls doors locking when the engine is running. To lock doors, shortly press
arming button, to unlock doors, press disarming button.
There is an automatic movement lock mode that will lock the doors at the car movement and will
unlock them when the ignition is being switched off. In no less than 5 seconds after the ignition was
switched on, the doors will be locked automatically when the car starts moving, and unlocked when
the ignition will be switched off (programmable). If any door was opened after the ignition had been
switched on, automatic locking will be disabled to prevent locking the keys inside the car.

Remote and automatic engine start
The system allows for remote engine start using remote engine start command or automatic
engine start using preconfigured automatic engine start function. Remote start can be used to heat
engine and interior, charge battery or to cool the interior with air conditioning.
Remote and automatic start can only be used when the system is armed.
If the car has manual transmission, automatic start will only occur if programmed neutral
procedure was followed when the car was arming.
Remote and automatic engine start on automatic transmission cars will only occur if transmission
selector lever was left in a ‘P’ position.
When using remote and automatic engine start functions, make sure that the car is secured with
handbrake or some other means of fixating the car on a parking position.
While system is in remote and automatic start mode, it keeps performing all security functions
save for shock sensor, which will have lower sensitivity during engine start and for a short time after
while algorithm adjusts to the new normal. To compensate, motion sensor sensitivity, responsiveness
and range will be increased. If any security zone will be triggered, the engine will be immediately
stopped and alarm mode will be entered. Herewith all immobilizer functions will be activated.

If you are planning to use remote and automatic engine start on a car with manual transmission,
you will need to perform following actions before arming:
1. While the engine is running, fixate the car with the handbrake and put manual transmission
lever (shift-stick) to the neutral position.

16 Pandora DXL-0050L service-security system
2. Turn the key in the ignition lock to the OFF position (the engine should still be running) and
take it out of the lock.
3. Leave the car, close the doors.
4. Press button to arm the car and lock the doors. On LCD remote the engine operation icon
will be spinning and security mode status icon will light.
5. The engine will be stopped. Now the system is ready to perform remote and automatic engine start.
This procedure ensures that whenever remote start occurs, your car will not move by itself.
Remote engine start
If the system is prepared for remote start, to execute it, press and hold for 3 seconds. Sound
signal will confirm the command, LCD will show crossed out shock sensor icon and flashing
engine operation icon signifying preparation to the engine start. In a few seconds, the engine
will be started, the remote will play ‘ENGINE START’ ringtone and show spinning engine operation
icon .
Engine operation duration depends on system settings – either heating time or threshold temperature

If the engine was started using remote or automatic start, remote engine start command will extend
its operation period by 10 minutes. This procedure can be repeated multiple times.
Automatic engine start
The system allows setting up modes of automatic engine start and stop. Synchronized real-time
clock on the remote and base unit and other autonomous system settings allow many engine start
options without needing to have the remote in command radio range.

It is recommended to put system into maintenance mode before handing it to the car service or
valet parking. When this mode is switched on, security system stops interfering with built-in electron-
ics and disables all functions to ease maintenance or parking. Moreover, you will not have to leave the
remote to the valet or the mechanic. Disabling valet mode is not possible without using the remote.
This feature is implemented to prevent recording additional remotes during maintenance without
the owner knowing.
