1. Introduction
About the Security System
The Sigma S-Series security systems build on the features of previous Sigma
models and offer the highest level of security, convenience and flexibility.
Operated correctly, this Sigma security system will protect your vehicle
against today’s sophisticated thief, however this security system is designed
as a deterrent against the theft of, or from a vehicle, and as such cannot offer
any guarantee against such occurrences. Always follow the advice of the
Police, always lock your vehicle, park in a well-lit area whenever possible and
never leave valuable items in a vehicle where they can be seen. Due to the
advances in vehicle security, more vehicles are being stolen using the
owner’s keys or in car-jacking situations. S30 and S34 models have an
optional Internal Panic Button facility, sophisticated locking options and
offer a Key Theft Protection feature (optional keypad required for S34) to
prevent carjacking and the theft of a vehicle even with the keys, however,
always ensure your keys are not left unattended or in a vulnerable place.
Your local Police Crime Prevention Officer will be pleased to advise you
about general vehicle security precautions.

Parts included in your Sigma Vehicle Security System
• Certificate of Installation. When completed correctly by your installing dealer
this certificate may entitle you to a discount on your vehicle insurance premium
(applies to most major insurance companies).
• Electronic Control Unit. The security system’s ECU is concealed within the
vehicle and connected to the various points, forming the “brain” of the whole
system. The immobilisation relays and wiring plugs are covered by a steel
housing to protect them from physical attack on the S30 models with Thatcham
approved immobilisation.
• Immobilisation. 2 self-arming, independent, engine immobilisation circuits are
provided on the S30 Thatcham approved security system. A single
immobilisation circuit is also available on the S34 security system, which only
becomes self-arming if the Key Theft Protection feature is turned on.
• Perimeter Protection. Provided by independent boot/bonnet and door circuits.
The door circuits also being configurable for positive or negative inputs.
• Radio Keys. Two, single button, weatherproof, high security Radio Keys which
are resistant to radio frequency code scanning/grabbing and incorporate a 66-
bit random code encryption.
• Siren. The compact high power Siren unit has an independent self-contained
power supply and is connected to the Security System’s control unit by a secure
data-link.
• Tri-colour LED. The dashboard mounted LED (light emitting diode) is the
security system’s status light and also acts as a visual deterrent.
• Ultrasonic Sensors. Intelligent, self-adjusting, ultrasonic sensors provide
interior protection and are mounted inside the passenger compartment.
• Unique PIN Code. Two self-adhesive labels show the unique PIN code and serial
number for your security system. These should be kept in a safe place.
Optional Items
• Accessories. Pagers, Internal Sirens, LEDs and Window Closers etc. can be
activated from the unit’s accessory outputs (max. current 200mA).
• Additional Sensors. Glass Break, Tilt, Dual/Single Stage Shock and Dual/Single
Zone Microwave Sensors can be plugged directly into the sockets on the rear of
the unit to work alongside the security system’s Ultrasonic Sensors that provide
interior protection. A pre-warn facility is built into the security system for Dual
Stage Sensors.
• Internal Panic Switch. A dash mounted switch that will instantly trigger the
siren and flash the indicators in the event of personal attack.
• Multifunction Keypad. The dashboard mounted Keypad can be used as an
emergency override to arm/disarm the security system (refer to page 21), to
change the way the system operates (page 25) and is required to operate the
system’s Key Theft Protection feature (pages 11 & 14).
• Touch Key Override. A dashboard mounted Receptacle and two Touch Keys
provide a heavy-duty emergency override to arm/disarm the security system.
• Two Button Radio Key. Allows additional control of the alarm system’s outputs
when the Extended Lock Pulse, Total Closure, and Total Open/Boot Release
features are required to be operated from the Radio Key in addition to Panic
Mode. Also required to Remotely Delete Ultrasonic Sensors off.

Programmable Features*
The security system is microprocessor controlled and this enables you to benefit
from a number of enhanced user-friendly convenience and security features. If you
wish to have any of these enabled, consult your dealer. These include:
• Auto-Arm can automatically arm the security system a timed period after
the last door is closed, if the system is accidently left disarmed. This feature
can also include locking if required.
• Auto-Rearm can automatically re-arm the security system (and re-lock the
doors) if a door is not opened in a timed period following the system having
been disarmed.
• Closed Loop Protection Built in accessory protection circuit.
• Door Open, Closed Loop & Auto-Arm Warning Bleeps will alert you, with a
series of bleeps when first armed, that a door, boot or the bonnet is open,
the Closed Loop Protection circuit is broken or Auto-Arm is selected.
• Extend CDL Lock Output this feature enables the CDL Lock Pulse to be
extended when the Radio Key button remains held on arming (up to a
maximum of 26 seconds). This feature provides an alternative method to
operating Total Closure on vehicles equipped with a Total Closure circuit
that can be operated in this way.
• Headlamp Illumination provides an output to illuminate the vehicle’s
headlamps on arming (and disarming if required) to illuminate your way
from the vehicle.
• Interior Lamp Illumination provides an output to illuminate the vehicle’s
interior lamp on disarming the system.
• Key Theft Protection with this feature selected, even if the vehicle’s keys
and Radio Key are used to disarm the alarm system the vehicle can only be
started after entering the correct 4-digit PIN into the Keypad.
• Safety Lock/Unlock can automatically lock the doors and boot when the
ignition is turned on, unlocking them again when the ignition is turned off.
• Total Closure this feature can provide an output when arming the system.
The output can be operated in one of 2 ways; “Timed” in which case the
output always occurs upon arming for a preset period, or “Hold Down”
where the output only occurs when, and for the period that, the Radio Key
button remains depressed (up to a maximum of 26 seconds).
• Total Open/Boot Release this feature can provide an output when
disarming the system. The output can be operated in one of 2 ways; “Timed”
in which case the output always occurs upon disarming for a preset period,
or “Hold Down” where the output only occurs when, and for the period that,
the Radio Key button remains depressed (up to a maximum of 26 seconds).
• 2nd Stage Unlock This feature allows the user to only unlock all the vehicle’s
doors and boot when specifically required. Normal disarming of the system
provides a Standard CDL Unlock output that can be configured to unlock
the driver’s door only, however, pressing the Radio Key button again briefly
provides a 2nd Stage. Unlock output to unlock the remaining doors and the
boot.
* Some of the above features may not be available on certain vehicles or may
require additional labour and/or parts, incurring extra cost. Please consult your
installing dealer.

2. Basic Operation of the Security System
Arming the Security System
• Vacate the vehicle closing all windows, doors, boot and bonnet.
• Briefly press and release the Radio Key button, whilst standing near the vehicle.
• The security system will acknowledge arming by illuminating the vehicle’s
hazard warning lights for a 3 second period (if the hazard lights flash 2, 3, 4, 5 or
6 times at this point this indicates that certain sensors have been deleted - see
page 9).
• The doors will lock if this facility is included with your security system.
The security system will then enter a “pre-set state”, which comprises of the Settle Time
and Ultrasonic Threshold Time. This period is used by the security system’s
microprocessor to monitor the vehicle’s internal environment and adjust the sensitivity
of the ultrasonic sensors if necessary.
If a door, boot or bonnet has been inadvertently left open or the optional Closed Loop
Protection Circuit is broken the siren will continuously bleep, (if the Door Open, Closed
Loop & Auto-Arm Warning Bleep feature is selected), for 15 seconds as a warning to
close everything securely. If this happens, disarm the security system (see below), close
all doors etc. securely, and re-arm. Failure to do this within 15 seconds will result in a full
alarm trigger.
Disarming the Security System
• Briefly press and release the Radio Key button, whilst standing near the vehicle.
• The security system will acknowledge disarming by illuminating the vehicle’s
hazard warning lights for a 1 second period.
• If the alarm has been triggered during the armed period, then the siren will emit
3 Trigger Warning Bleeps.
• The doors will unlock if this facility is included with your security system.
Ultrasonic Interior Protection
The S-Series range of alarm systems are all supplied with sophisticated microprocessor
controlled Ultrasonic Sensors as the primary interior protection system. Unlike
conventional ultrasonic detectors this system ensures that an actual entry has
occurred rather than just air movement, air pressure fluctuation, seat belt movement,
etc.
Whenever the system is armed:
• Initially the dashboard LED displays a rapid green flash for the first 15 seconds.
This is the Settle Time, during which the Ultrasonic Sensors are inactive. This
allows the air movement inside the vehicle to stabilise.
• The dashboard LED then displays a long bright amber flash for the next 15
seconds. During this Ultrasonic Threshold Time, the Ultrasonic Sensors are now
active. The alarm system’s microprocessor monitors the interior of the vehicle,
and if any “background” movement is detected that would otherwise cause a
false alarm, the sensitivity is reduced from that programmed by the installer.
The amber LED will illuminate for a second, to indicate the detection of any
“background” movement.

9
• After the first 32 seconds a short bright red flash from the dashboard LED every
second indicates that the system is now fully armed and the Ultrasonic Sensors
are set to their pre-programmed maximum or their automatically reduced level
if some “background” movement was detected during the Threshold Time.
The detection system also employs a movement/time method where a certain amount
of movement in a given time is also required to cause a trigger.
This method of detection offers a high level of protection against false alarms
commonly associated with other systems employing inferior methods of detection.
Arming the Security System with Ultrasonic Sensors Deleted
It may sometimes be necessary to arm the security system with certain sensors deleted
- such as the Ultrasonics Sensors if you wish to leave people or animals inside the
secured vehicle, although sensible safety precautions should be exercised if
considering this action!
The Ultrasonic Sensors, and any other optional sensors that may have been added to
the Dual or Single Stage Accessory Sensor Sockets, can be deleted in a number of
combinations. This can be done in three ways:
1. Using the optional Keypad, before exiting the vehicle:
See Page 25 for details.
2. Using the optional Two Button Radio Key, from outside the vehicle after
arming the system:
See the Two Button Radio Key operating instructions for details.
3. Using the Radio Key and ignition, before exiting the vehicle:
• With the vehicle’s ignition turned on, briefly press and release the Radio
Key button the necessary number of times to select the sensor
combination required, shown in the table on the following page.
• The dashboard mounted LED will flash each time the Radio Key button
is pressed.
• Turn off the vehicle’s ignition.
• Vacate the vehicle closing all doors, boot and bonnet.
• Briefly press and release the Radio Key button, whilst standing near the
vehicle.
• The security system will acknowledge arming with the necessary sensor
combination by flashing the vehicle’s hazard warning lights the
corresponding number of times, instead of the normal 3 second
illumination.
• The doors will lock if this facility is included with your security system.
In all cases the deleted sensors will be restored the next time you arm the security
system in the normal way.

10
Panic Mode/Siren Test
To enter Panic Mode press and hold the Radio Key button down for 3 seconds, the
system will change state (i.e. from armed to disarmed or disarmed to armed) and then
enter Panic Mode. Whilst in Panic Mode the siren will sound and the hazard lights will
flash indefinitely. To exit Panic Mode, briefly press and release the Radio Key button.
This time the system will not change state, just exit Panic Mode.
N.B. If any of the Extended CDL Lock Pulse, Total Close or Total Open/Boot Release
features have been programmed to occur when the Radio Key button is “Held Down”,
then Panic Mode will no longer be available from the Single Button Radio Key. The
optional Two Button Radio Key should be used if Panic Mode is still required from the
Radio Key in addition to “Hold Down” operation of these features from button 1.
Starting the Vehicle – S30 Models without Key Theft Protection
The security system is armed and disarmed with the Radio Keys, however the two
immobilisation circuits on the S30 also automatically set a pre-set time (the Stall & Start
Time; usually 30 seconds) after the ignition is switched off. This is a Thatcham MIRRC
requirement, so that the driver cannot forget to set the immobilisation system.
Disarming the system and starting the vehicle:
Whilst the security system is fully armed the dashboard mounted LED will display a
short bright flash every second.
• Press the Radio Key button briefly to disarm the security system in the normal
way.
• The dashboard mounted LED will be switched to a solid green state for a pre-
set time (the Stall & Start Time; usually 30 seconds). Whilst the LED is solid green
you may start the vehicle.
If the ignition is not turned on whilst the green LED is illuminated (i.e. within 30 seconds
of disarming the system, or turning the engine off), the immobiliser will re-set. When
the immobiliser automatically re-sets, this is indicated by a short bright red flash from
the dashboard LED every 3 seconds.
Starting an immobilised vehicle:
• To start the vehicle simply turn on the ignition, briefly press and release the
Radio Key button (the dashboard mounted LED will flash once).
• Start the vehicle.
You may repeat this “switch ignition on – press Radio Key button – start vehicle”
sequence as often as you like.
Alternatively, when the dashboard LED is displaying a short bright red flash every 3
seconds, arm then immediately disarm the security system, then start the vehicle
within 30 seconds (dependent on programming) whilst the LED is solid green again.
