Passive arming
If the ignition is switched o for less than 4 minutes (approx),
there is no requirement to re-enter an authorisation code, this
is for your convenience. If the ignition has been switched o
for more than 4 minutes (approx), the system will re-arm itself,
thus requiring an authorisation code or Personal Transceiver.
Personal Transceiver
ATTENTION!!!
Personal Transceiver is not included in standard Skybrake
TOUCH set and can be purchased separately. Please ask your
local Skybrake dealer.
Personal Transceiver is a wireless battery powered driver
identication tag, which informs the security system about the
presence of the driver. It’s designed to be alternative device to
unblock security system and start your vehicle without using
keypad PIN code.
ATTENTION!!!
Do not leave the Personal Transceiver inside the vehicles or in
a 5 meter range, whilst the vehicle is not attended. This device
overrides your security, and should therefore be kept on your
person at all times.
NOTE:
Personal Transceiver operates within a 5 metre range, it
transmits a signal every 10 seconds. Therefore once the
ignition is switched on, it may take up to 10 seconds for the
Green keypad LED to illuminate and for the engine to be
started.
The Personal Transceiver consists of following parts:
1. Enclosure (part1)
2. Enclosure (part2)
3. Electronic board
4. Battery
REPLACEMENT BATTERY
The battery will last for approximately one year, if the Personal
Transceiver stops working or works intermittently, please
replace the battery rst.
To replace the battery: Separate the enclosures marked 1 & 2,
slide the battery out of the unit and replace with a new fully
charged CR2430 (Li-Mn 3V) battery.
ATTENTION!!!
Installation of this security product is additional protection
for your vehicle, but it does not protect your vehicle from all
possible thefts.
PRODUCT WARRANTY
The warranty for the Skybrake TOUCH is 24 months from the
date of installation. The warranty is valid in the event that
the installed system does not work due to the fault of the
manufacturer or the materials used.
The warranty is not valid in the event that the product has
suered mechanical damage or if it has been incorrectly
installed or used.
The guarantee does not apply to the CR2430 power source.
SYSTEM COMPONENTS
The Skybrake TOUCH security system is a unique, modular
wireless protection system. This provides the highest security
level to protect your vehicle from unauthorized use. With the
use of a keypad PIN code or wireless Personal Transceiver
(optional), it is very easy to identify the driver and allow the
vehicle engine to start.
The security system consists of the following
elements:
● Keypad module
● Personal Transceiver (optional)
● Blocking module
● Plastic PIN code card, (For use when the PIN code has been
lost or forgotten)
Keypad module
Using the keypad module, the driver can enter his own PIN
code followed by the # button, to provide authorisation for
the blocking module to disarm.
There are two LED status lights, twelve soft key buttons and an
internal buzzer. By turning the ignition on, the backlit keypad
will become live, and the red LED will illuminate. By entering
any of the stored authorisation codes correctly followed by
the # button, the red
LED will extinguish
and the green LED will
illuminate, allowing the
user to start the engine.
After a short period,
the keypad backlight
will dissipate leaving
just the green LED
status light on.

will emit one long beep. In this instance, switch o the
ignition and go back to step 1.
NOTE:
Once the keypad has accepted a correct code entry, it will stay
in this state and will remain so until the ignition is switched
OFF.
The PIN code must be entered each time the ignition is
switched on, except when the ignition has been switched OFF
for less than 4 minutes approx. (read section passive arming).
Using Personal Transceiver
It is possible to disarm the system using Personal Transceiver,
proceed as follows:
1. With the Personal Transceiver within a 5 metre range of
the vehicle.
2. Turn ON the ignition and wait until a double beep will
sound, the keypad red LED will turn OFF, and the green
LED will turn ON. (Normally This could take up to 10
seconds)
3. The system is disarmed, now you can start the engine.
ATTENTION!!!
Do not leave the Personal Transceiver inside the vehicles or in
a 5 metre range, whilst the vehicle is not attended. This device
overrides your security, and should therefore be kept at home
in a safe place or on your person at all times.
NOTE!!!
The signal from the Personal Transceiver is transmitted
once per 10 seconds. If you are in an area with a lot of
digital transmissions, the communication between Personal
Transceiver and other security system’s components may take
longer.
PIN CODES
PIN codes: The Skybrake TOUCH keypad can store up to 5
User codes and one Master code, the Master code is used to
add and delete your ve user codes. Therefore a secondary
user should be given one of the ve possible User codes,
which they can not modify add or delete other codes with.
Only the Master code can do this, in the event of a Master code
being lost or forgotten, please refer to the PIN code card also
supplied with this system.
All PIN codes can be 4 to 8 digits long; the PIN code entry is
conrmed with the # key.
Example: Factory default is “0000” then press the # to
conrm, you will hear two short beeps and
the green LED light will illuminate. If the
incorrect code has been entered the keypad
will emit one long beep, the keypad will
then lock out. In this instance, please switch
the ignition o and then back on again, this
will reset the keypad ready for a correct
code to be entered.
ATTENTION!!!
Factory default code should be changed at time of installation,
please refer to master code setting later in this manual.
CODE DEFINITIONS
Master PIN code: The Skybrake TOUCH keypad comes
supplied with a factory default PIN
code of “0000”. It is important to
change this to a new 4 to 8 digit
unique Master PIN code that only
the owner should know. The Master
PIN code is used to add and delete
up to 5 additional user codes.
User PIN code: With the use of the Master PIN code,
an additional ve access codes can
be added for non owner driver
authorisation. Any of these can be
deleted or changed at any time. A
user code does not have access to
add or delete any authorisation codes.

5
Override PIN code: In the event of the Master PIN code
being lost or forgotten, the unique
8 digit Override code should be
used to reset the security system.
After the Override code has been
entered, the security system will
delete all PIN codes from memory,
and the Master PIN code will be
reset to the factory default code of
“0000”.
NOTE:
The Override code can be found on the PIN code card, by
scratching o protection layer (see PIN code card).
ADDITIONAL USERS CHART
If more than one user has access to this vehicle, additional
PIN codes can be stored. A total of ve additional user PIN
codes (except master PIN code) can be stored in the system’s
memory (see table).
