USER MANUAL
The alarm is operated via the vehicle original remote control. The built-in radio receiver allows the
owner to wirelessly control the engine immobilizer from the TAG card.
2.1 – SYSTEM ARMING
Press the lock button on the vehicle original remote control; arming is confirmed by a Beep and a
flash of the turn indicators (if signals are enabled).
NB: Before it is fully armed, the system has a 30 sec. arming delay signaled by the LED ON
steady.
2.2 – SYSTEM ARMING WITH SENSOR AND CONFORT EXCLUSION
To arm the system without internal volumetric protection (US sensors), optional wireless PIR
sensors and comfort feature, proceed as follows:
Make sure the system is disarmed and ignition key is in the OFF position.
Touch the override key to its receptacle; the LED will flash quickly.
Close all vehicle doors and press the lock button on the vehicle original remote control.
System arming is confirmed by a Bop and a flash of the turn indicators (if signals are enabled).
2.3 – PASSIVE ARMING
When passive arming is enabled, the system automatically arms approx. 60 sec. after ignition is
switched OFF and after the last door is opened and closed.
Arming is confirmed by a Beep and a flash of the turn indicators (if signals are enabled).
2.4 – ARMING DELAY
There is a 30 sec. delay from the time the system is armed to allow you to exit the vehicle without
triggering an alarm: it will be signaled by the LED powered ON steady.
2.5 – SYSTEM ARMED
After the arming delay the system is fully armed and ready to detect any alarm event. The LED will
start flashing to confirm the armed status.
2.6 – ALARM, INHIBIT TIME BETWEEN ALARMS AND ALARMCYCLES
Alarm events are signaled by optical/acoustic signals. Each event can generate up to 10 cycles for
each input and for each arming cycle with a pause of 5 sec. between each cycle. One alarm cycle
lasts 30 sec.
2.7 – SYSTEM DISARMING
Press the unlock button on the vehicle original remote control. Disarming is confirmed by 2 Beeps
and 2 flashes of the turn indicators (if signals are enabled).
If an alarm event has occurred while you were away from your vehicle, it will be signaled, when you
disarm the system, by 5 Beeps and 5 flashes of the turn indicators (if signals are enabled). Alarm
causes and relative LED signals are listed in par. 2.10.

Dear customer, the S38 self-powered alarm system is supplied with 1 touch key to emergency
override the system and exclude the sensorsand 2 RFID transponders (TAG cards) to engage/
disengage the engine immobilizer. The alarm is compatible with wireless sensors.
Please read the present manual carefully to familiarize yourself fully with the alarm features and
operating procedures and do keep it handy for future reference.

INTRODUCTORY NOTE
Exclusion of sensors and comfort feature is bound to each single arming cycle.
They will reset upon next arming.
When the alarm automatically arms (passive arming), internal sensors and comfort
output (automatic window roll-up) are excluded.
Opening a door during the 60-sec. passive arming countdown will cause the
procedure to interrupt; it will resume once the door is closed.

2.8 – EMERGENCY OVERRIDE VIA TOUCH KEY
The touch key is used to override the system as an emergency backup and to fully disarm the
system in case remote controls are lost or inoperative. By touching the key to its receptacle, the
system disarms and switches OFF. It will not rearm by pressing the remote-control lock button.
2.9 – SYSTEM ARMING AND ENGINE IMMOBILISER
The engine immobilizer is a security feature that prevents illegally starting the engine.
Operation without a paired TAG:
The engine immobilizer (if connected) kicks in upon arming the system and is disengaged when
the system is disarmed.
Operation with a paired TAG:
When a TAG is paired, the engine immobilizer (if connected) is enabled when arming the alarm via
the vehicle original remote control, but it can only be disengaged when the TAG is detected.
If the TAG is detected before the OE remote control, the alarm remains armed and saves the TAG
signal for 20 sec. It will only disarm once it detects the OE remote control. If, when the 20 sec.
timeout expires, no remote control has been detected, the alarm will remain armed, but it will delete
the TAG signal from its memory.
If the OE remote control is detected before the TAG, the alarm remains armed and saves the OE
remote control signal for 20 sec. If, when the 20 sec. timeout expires, no TAG has been detected,
the alarm will remain armed, but it will delete the OE remote control signal from its memory.
There is a 6 sec. inhibit time on the door, boot and ultrasonic inputs to avoid false alarms. If the 6
sec. timeout expires without the TAG being detected, an alarm cycle is triggered. The alarm will
only disarm when it detects the TAG.
N.B. the engine immobilizer can be configured to automatically arm when the alarm is disarmed
and no TAG is detected (Default setting => disabled).
2.10 – ALARM MEMORY
The LED memory allows to identify the last alarm event signaled by 5 flashes of the turn indicators
and 5 Beeps when the system is disarmed (if signals are enabled). Turn ignition key ON and count
the LED flashes; they will indicate the last alarm detected.
The flash sequence is repeated 3 times; to interrupt, turn ignition key OFF.
To activate the transponder simply press the button and keep it pressed for at least 4 sec. The LED
turns ON steady when the transponder is activated. Release the button. The LED will flash every
time data is transmitted.
If no movement is detected within 10 min. the transponder automatically goes into standby mode to
save battery life; to wake it up for another 10 min., move it or press the button. Press the button
again to send a radio signal to the alarm system.
To switch OFF the transponder, press and hold the button for approx. 10 sec., the LED will be ON
steady. It will flash twice just before the transponder switches OFF.
To replace the battery, proceed as follows:
• Gently separate the plastic shells by inserting a flat head screwdriver in the pry-off slot (Fig.1).
• Carefully remove the circuit (Fig.2).
• Remove the discharged battery and insert a new one, taking care not to invert polarity (Fig.3 ).

TAG CARD AND BATTERY REPLACEMENT
To restore normal operation, touch the key to its receptacle. A Beep and a flash of the
LED will confirm the operation.
If the TAG fails to work in the presence of any significant radio frequency interference,
use the touch key to disable the immobilizer.
The RFID transponder (P/N SIG008) must previously be paired to engage/disengage
the engine immobilizer contact the installation dealership for assistance.
