Arming the system
When key “A” is pressed to turn the alarm on the control system reads the system sensors. If the sensors are OK then
the system will arm, there will be a short strobe flash for 1 second and a short audible beep from the control unit to
indicate that the system is armed.
If a sensor is not OK then the system will not arm. A lon strobe flash and lon audible beep from the control unit (2
seconds) will indicate the failure to arm. The user can then rectify the situation and try a ain.
Arming
Normal Mode
Pressin “A” arms the system in normal mode with both the sensors (PIR/Reed Switches) and Movement sensors
active. Any activation in this mode will activate the strobe and sound the siren.
Disarming the System
Pressin “D” will disarm the system.
Key features of Operation when in Alarm
Siren
•When alarm activated the siren will sound for 15 seconds then reset. If activated a ain, siren will sound for
another 15 seconds then reset. There is a maximum of 3x siren activation's then the siren will not resound.
When the alarm is disarmed and rearmed the number of activation's will reset a ain.
Strobe
•When alarm activated the strobe will run for 35 seconds, it has a rollin sequence that will chan e every 5
seconds. After 35 seconds it will o into power save mode, this will mean it is on for 1 second and off for 3
seconds. When the alarm is disarmed the strobe power save will reset.
Anti-Tow
•The Anti-Tow system will only activate on the movement sensor and not the PIR. When activated (between 1
and 5 seconds after sensin initial vehicle movement) the brakes will lock for 10 seconds. Each time after this
that the movement sensor is activated the brakes will lock for another 10 seconds. Multiple activation’s can
occur sequentially.
Please note: Installaon of the braking relays and braking circuit is oponal and not required for the correct

operaon of the alarm system
Anti-Hitch
•The Anti-Hitch sensin operates when the system detects an attempt to hitch the vehicle. It reacts in the same
way as the Anti-Tow sensin by activatin the alarm and brakes.
Adding additional sensors to the system
1. Press “D” 3x to enter pro rammin mode
2. Press “A” to add a sensor
3. Activate the sensor for the control unit to re ister, it will beep to confirm added. If the sensor is already in the system
a lon beep will be heard to notify you of this.
4. If another sensor required, repeat step 2/3
5. When finished press “D” to exit
6. If you have for otten to exit, system will time out and exit pro rammin mode automatically
Wired Sensors (oponal)
Wired sensors (PIN switches) can be added to the system. All wired sensors must be N.O type and mulple sensors can
be wired in parallel. Connect as per installaon instrucons. If the sensor is closed (ac ated) when arming the alarm
it will not arm and pro ides a long beep warning that the system is not ready. Check any wired sensor and rearm.
Changing motion sensiti ity
The moon sensi ity has 5 se%ngs, 1 (low) to 5 (high), the unit comes inially set to 3 - Mid. There are many factors
that can e+ect the required sensi ity. Vehicle weight, weight distribuon, suspension type and posion, tyre type and
pressure, cara an legs up/down as well as many en ironmental factors including road surface, wind and other
condions. The mounng posion of the alarm control unit is also a factor that has an e+ect on operaon.
Press “C” to change. System beeps once if high sensi ity through to 5 mes for low sensi ity
Whilst e ery ehicle is di+erent, the following is a guide on the starng point for the sensi ity se%ngs.
Tow and door direction
The tow and door direcons need to be set depending on the mounng orientaon of the unit as this allows the
mo ement sensing to operate correctly. There are six opons, 1 to 6. For tow direcon choose the opon
corresponding to the diagram below where the side chosen is facing the front of the ehicle. Ie if 2 is facing the front,
select 2 (3 is the front and 6 is the rear of the Control unit). The door direcon is the side of the ehicle with the entry
door (ie passenger/kerb side of those without a door).
Tow Direcon
1. Press “D” 3x to enter programming mode
2. Press “B” to change. System beeps
corresponding to the numbers shown.
3. Press “B” to change again or “D” to exit
Door Direcon

1. Press “D” 3x to enter programming mode
2. Press “C” to change. System beeps corresponding to the numbers shown.
3. Press “C” to change again or “D” to exit
It is essenal that the Tow and Door direcons be set to allow for correct operaon
It is highly recommended that whene er the alarm is armed that the rear cara an legs are in the down posion as this
pro ides addional stability and assists in reducing false alarms.
Sensor Battery Replacement
Each sensor has an expected battery lifetime of between 12 and 24 months under standard operatin conditions. When a
low battery condition if reached the sensor will flash every 10 seconds indicatin that it is time to replace the battery.
Please note that hi h use (ie livin in van / constant operation) situations will shorten the life of the battery and will
require more frequent chan es.

reduce the chances of false alarm. We recommend the following maintenance schedule:
Monthly
Check sensors and control unit physically OK with isual inspecon. Check sensors for any >ashing indicaon of low
ba?ery. Ensure there is no e idence of cobwebs around the sensors.
Annually
Full alarm test including ac aon of all zones
PIRs – walk test to ensure correct operaon. Remo e co er of PIR to ensure no ingress by any insects, >uids etc.
