Scher Khan Magicar 5 is a budget car alarm with two-way communication and a range of 1500 m. According to the principle of operation and functions, this model is somewhat different from others. For this reason, many car owners have questions about setting up and autostarting Sherkhan Magikar 5.
How to enable autorun
The installation instructions offer several options for configuring autorun:
- on command (in this case you can start and turn off the car from the key fob);
- according to a set timer (the motor will be activated at a time set by the user);
- by temperature mode (this option is effective for turning on the engine at low outside temperatures);
- according to the voltage of the on-board network.
You can set it to autorun by command as follows.
- With an automatic transmission, the gearshift knob must be moved to the “parking” position. If the car has a manual transmission, the transmission lever is set to neutral and the handbrake is activated.
- Door locks must be locked.
- Press and hold key 2 on the remote control for 2 seconds.
- After these steps, you must turn off the ignition and leave the car.
- When the driver's door is closed, the engine will stop.
- To resume work, press key 2.
A motorist who uses autostart on Sherkhan Magikar 5 must fulfill several important requirements.
- This function should only be used if the vehicle is in a well-ventilated area. In addition, the car must be clearly visible.
- Do not start the automatic engine when there are people in front of (or behind) the vehicle.
- When parking, the car must be securely secured in place. This requires a properly functioning parking brake.
- Autostart Sherkhan 5 in cars with manual shifting is used using program neutral.
- The oil and coolant levels should be checked regularly.
- The alarm control panel (key fob) should be kept away from children.
By temperature
To set autostart according to the temperature in the car interior, set up a temperature controller. System activation can be set to different indicators. In winter, you can turn on autostart when the temperature reaches -15...-25°C; for warm weather - +60°С.
Setting up autostart at temperature is carried out step by step:
- The timer start option is disabled (if this function is installed). This can be done by simultaneously pressing buttons 4 and 2.
- Button 4 is pressed 21 times.
- Select the appropriate temperature setting from the menu. In order to set autostart, use keys 3 (to activate at -25°C), 2 (to turn on the motor at -15°C).
Once the temperature regime has been set, the system is activated.
By on-board voltage
In the Sherkhan car alarm, the function of setting autostart based on the on-board voltage is available. This option allows you to activate the system when the battery is discharged to 11.5 Volts.
You can configure it as follows.
- Using the remote control, select the option to start at a set time. To do this, press button 4 once.
- By pressing buttons 2 and 1 simultaneously for a long time, the program selection function is activated.
- Button 4 is pressed 20 times (shortly and without breaks). In response to this action, the siren should sound (20 beeps).
- To enable voltage starting of the motor, you must press key 2. After confirming this setting, the motor operation will be activated based on the on-board voltage.
By time
For user convenience, manufacturers have provided a timed start in the system. Thanks to this, the car engine will turn on at the same time every day. The interval will be up to 24 hours. This option is useful when the car is parked and is not within the range of the remote control (remote engine start).
You can complete the setup in a few minutes.
The timer is turned off by simultaneously pressing buttons 4 and 2. When the option is enabled, a mark with the inscription “Timer” will light up on the display. This alarm model provides 2 timer activation modes:
- When one of the ScherKhan modes is activated, Magikar will activate the engine at a strictly set time (for example, in the morning). In this case, the frequency will reach 24 hours.
- Periodic activation. If necessary, the timer can be set so that remote activation of the start occurs every 2, 4 or 8 hours. This is required to regularly warm up the car interior. The same option can also be used for periodic cooling in countries with hot climates.
The alarm manufacturer Sherkhan 5 has provided the possibility of simultaneous use of auto-start by timer after 24 hours and a specified period of time.
To set the activation of work at the same time (24 hour frequency), you should reserve this mode. This is done as follows:
- Press buttons 2 and 4 simultaneously. At the same time, the Timer icon appears on the remote control display.
- To enter the programming mode, press 2 buttons at once for a long time: 2 and 3. In this case, the key fob must confirm this action with a sound signal.
- To put the timer into setting mode, briefly press key 2. Immediately after this, the previously set time indicators will begin to flash and the control panel will make a sound.
- The clock indicators are changed by pressing button 1.
- To specify minutes, use key 2.
- After setting the timer, you must exit this mode. This can be done by simultaneously short pressing 2 buttons (2 and 3). If after this a beep appears, it means that the user has correctly set the alarm for timed auto-heating.
Installation instructions
The DIY alarm installation algorithm for dummies is given in the factory documentation:
- Place the antenna unit in the corner of the windshield; installation of the unit under the interior trim is allowed. If the owner installs the unit secretly, then the range of the remote control may be reduced (due to shielding of the antenna).
- Place the call sensor on the surface of the windshield; the installation point is pre-degreased.
- Mount the siren under the hood of the car. The unit is located away from sources of heat and moisture.
- Place additional limit switches in areas not exposed to moisture.
- Secure the processor module inside the instrument panel. Screws or plastic clamps are used for fastening. Equipment supplied from the factory does not have key fobs stored in its memory. Before use, you need to program the remote control codes.
- Glue the shock sensor inside the car (on a metal base). Provide in advance unobstructed access to the rotary potentiometer for sensitivity adjustment.
Connection diagram
After installation is complete, you should connect the Sherkhan 5 alarm system to the on-board network and connect the electronic units together. The instructions include a connection diagram; before starting the switching, you should study the documentation. The connectors use cables equipped with insulation of different colors, which allows you to determine the purpose of the cord. Cable connection points are protected with insulating tape; protective fuses must be provided (installation locations and ratings are indicated in the diagram).
How to disable autorun
After the car owner no longer needs auto start on the alarm, this option can be disabled. You must select the appropriate function on the key fob screen and switch it to inactive status. After this, automatic motor activation will be switched off.
If necessary, you can configure the alarm using other parameters. To do this, you will need to repeat the steps performed before disabling the option.
Automatic start of security system
To turn it on, the driver must close all the car doors and turn on the security mode. Next, you need to activate the autostart function on the key fob. It will turn on the security mode on its own. This feature improves system reliability. If the driver forgets to turn on the security mode, when the auto start is turned on, the alarm will lock the car after 30 seconds.
Information about enabling autorun is displayed on the display. The word PASSIVE should appear on the screen. Every 10 seconds, the system transmits data on the state of the security mode to the display.
Why it doesn't work and what to do
If all setup steps were completed according to the instructions, autostart on Sherkhan Magikar 5 always works clearly according to the established scheme. If a failure occurs, and after setting up automatic startup, the system does not perform the necessary actions, you need to look for the reason. To do this, you don’t have to contact a service center; you can do it yourself:
- If the motorist has made a reservation, but the system does not activate, the contacts of the safety device should be checked. The reason for the breakdown of the Sherkhan alarm system may be their oxidation. The safety device is located in the main module power supply circuit.
- Incorrect operation of the standard blocker. In the control relay, you need to check the contact elements for sticking.
- Continuous activity of the diode element. Such a breakdown may occur due to the activated Valet service mode. To resume operation of the Sherkhan signaling, it is necessary to disable the service mode.
- Autorun functions are not configured correctly. To solve this problem, you can use a reset of all user settings to factory settings.
In addition, errors in the operation of the device may occur for the following reasons:
- Often the problem is that when autostarting, the engine stops working after only 1-2 minutes. In this case, you can start everything using the key in standard mode. The cause of such failures is most often a breakdown of the five-pin relay. You can find this part in the microprocessor module.
- The battery is in a discharged state. If this problem is resolved, the launch will be activated.
- Low temperature. In some cases, auto start is blocked due to critical frost outside the vehicle window.
- Malfunction of some machine parts that are responsible for activating the motor.
To reconfigure the start of the Sherkhan Magikar 5 alarm, the manufacturer suggests resetting all settings to factory settings. The system has 2 menus (1 and 2):
- Includes options such as door open warning, panic mode and other security alarm functions.
- Adjustment of auto start time, duration of warming up of the car.
If you need to get rid of user-set autorun settings, you need to reset menu number 2 functions to factory settings. Do this in the following order:
- You should enter programming mode. For this purpose, press buttons 4 and 1 for 2 seconds. After this action, the sound of a siren should be heard, and the alarm system will give 1 light signal. If this happens, then the user did everything correctly and step 1 is completed.
- Key 3 is briefly pressed 3 times. After each press there is a siren sound and a light signal.
Key fob programming
Although “falling off” key fobs are mainly the prerogative of the Logicar line, where the need for regular re-registration has long become the talk of the town, there is a possibility of loss of recognition here too. Registering the Sherkhan 5 keychain is not difficult, just remember the simple procedure.
First of all, you need to remember that the entire set must be re-registered: at the beginning of the procedure, the memory of all key fobs previously recorded in the memory is erased. If a problem arose on the road, when you only have one key fob with you, upon returning home you should repeat the procedure, but with a complete set - otherwise, if the main key fob breaks, you will have to open the car with an emergency disarming of the system. On all registered key fobs with an LCD screen, you need to turn off the “Hands Free” function (by holding down button 1 for two seconds), and the system will be disarmed.
Programming the key fob is carried out in three stages:
- Quickly turn the ignition on and off three times, after which the light alarm should flash once.
- Turn the ignition back on, leaving it in this state.
- With a pause of no more than 4 seconds, alternately press buttons 1 on all key fobs to be registered (no more than three).
The key fob registration mode will be exited automatically 4 seconds after the last press.
Re-registration is one of the most effective measures if the Magikar 5 key fob does not work. Only after making sure that there is no physical connection (that is, the key fob registration fails), you need to look for a problem in the system or change the key fob.
Setting up autorun from the Sherkhan Magikar remote control
Which key fob buttons should be pressed when setting up the autostart function of this car alarm model? The instructions for starting the engine from the key fob are universal and are suitable for Magicar A, B, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 mini, 6, 7 S, 8 S, 9, 10 mini, 11, 12, 13, 14.
- Enter menu 2 by holding down keys 2 and 4 simultaneously for two seconds. A beep will sound and the lights will blink once.
- Select the desired option (2-20) from the menu by clicking button 4 twenty times. Each press must be accompanied by sound and light signals.
- After a few seconds, the device will confirm that the desired mode has been selected correctly with twenty beeps.
- Starting the engine from the remote control is programmed with button 4. Confirmation of this is four sound signals and blinking emergency lights.
After this, hold key 2 on the key fob for two seconds. The car will be armed and the engine will start. The headlights will light up once and an alarm will sound. A tone squeak will be heard on the key fob, and information about the operation of the motor will appear on the display. You can set the operating time (5, 15, 25 or 45 minutes) by entering function menu 1-12.
Factory reset
Errors during self-programming of alarm functions may require a return to factory settings. Resetting programmable alarm functions to factory default settings is a 2-step process.
- At the first stage, enter the programming mode - press buttons II and III simultaneously and hold them for 2 seconds.
- In the second stage, you need to press button III on the remote control three times (0.5 seconds each). Each press is accompanied by a flashing “emergency bar” and a sound signal. After a short time, 3 beeps should sound and the alarm will blink three times. In this way, the owner is informed that the function programming has been reset to default settings.”
We start the car using the Scher-Khan Logicar key fob
Logicar anti-theft system models A, B, 1, 2, 3 i, 4 i, 5i, 6i, 5 iS, 6 iS are easy to operate. All actions are performed on the main key fob with a display; put the spare one aside. Configure autorun using the following algorithm.
- By simultaneously pressing keys 2 and 4 on the remote control, activate the timer.
- To enter programming mode, press and hold for a few seconds. buttons 1 and 4.
- Activate the timed engine start by pressing key 4 ten times.
- Set the time to turn on the car engine: once a day – key 1; after eight hours – 2; in four hours – 3; in two - 4.
- Pressing 2 and 4 at the same time will turn on the timer.
After studying the instruction manual, you will be able to set the engine start temperature and set its warm-up settings.
User guide
To control the anti-theft complex, a key fob or ignition key can be used. If configured correctly, this procedure is carried out using a panic button. Using the remote control, you can program functions and set a password for emergency shutdown or activation of the system.
Setting up a PIN code
To set up a personal password, you need to enter programming mode:
- The vehicle is disarmed.
- The car door lock opens.
- The ignition is activated by installing and turning the key in the lock. The engine should not start.
- The third and fourth keys are pressed on the communicator key fob. The alarm will blink once and the siren will sound. If the signal is triple, this indicates an unsuccessful attempt to enter the password setting mode.
- The first digit of the code is entered, for this the consumer is given four seconds after the siren signal. To set values, use the communicator keys; the selected number corresponds to a button. If the symbol is received successfully, the alarm will play the appropriate number of flashes and siren sounds.
- Subsequent numbers are indicated identically; the car owner is given four seconds to enter each. When the last character is entered, the system will automatically exit the setup mode. The car owner will be informed about this by a double siren signal and two flashes of light devices.
- You can then turn off the ignition and lock all the car doors.
To unlock a vehicle using a code, follow these steps:
- The car alarm goes off.
- The driver's door opens.
- The key is inserted into the lock and the ignition is activated.
- The car owner taps the call controller ten times. The time interval between impacts should be 1.5 seconds. With each subsequent strike, the diode element will blink red.
- Each password character is configured using the stroke method, their number must correspond to the number. Input confirmation is carried out every 1.5 seconds. As each digit is indicated, the diode will blink blue.
- Similarly, each character of the password is indicated. In confirmation, the alarm will blink with lights and sound a siren.
If the car owner enters the PIN code settings mode, the LED light will begin to flash blue.
The channel “Videomax12345” spoke about the main settings and functions of the anti-theft system.
How to enable security mode?
You need to start the live mode after turning off the ignition and closing all the door locks of the car. To complete the task, click the first key on the remote control. This will block the door locks and starter mechanism.
When this function is activated, the following occurs:
- the siren sounds once;
- car lights blink;
- the diode indicator flashes on the block at intervals of 1 second;
- on the communicator display, the vehicle headlights blink five times and the lock indicator appears;
- The remote control emits a melodic signal.
An indicator in the form of a locked pad is displayed on the communicator display until the security mode is disabled. When armed, the alarm constantly monitors and analyzes the readings issued by the controllers. 30 seconds after the protection is turned on, the sensitivity sensor is activated. If the power unit remains running, the procedure for turning on the security mode is performed in the same way. All doors are locked and the first key on the pager is clicked.
But the sensitivity controller will remain off until the ignition is on. The security mode indication will be similar. 30 seconds after the power unit is turned off, the signals will be checked.
User Sergey Gorin showed several ways to control the security mode of the Magikar 5 alarm.
System check
To diagnose the state of the anti-theft installation, the fourth key is used. After pressing it, the car alarm analysis data will be displayed on the communicator screen. Information about the inspection will be confirmed by siren signals, as well as light alarms.
Disabling the system
To disarm the security, use the second key of the communicator. In confirmation, the siren will play one signal and the vehicle's lights will turn on. The car's headlights will blink on the pager screen and an indicator with an open lock will appear.
Instructions for Mobicar models
Remote engine start from the Mobicar A, B, 1, 2 alarm remote control is only possible in security mode. For a manual vehicle, carry out the following preparations.
- With the engine running, the handbrake raised, and the brake pedal released, press key 3 on the key fob.
- Remove the key from the ignition.
- Get out of the car and arm it by clicking on button 1.
The following key combination will enable autorun.
- Press button 3 for a while. An image of smoke will appear on the screen, indicating the engine is starting.
- The autostart time will countdown. Briefly press 3 and you will stop the timer.
- The mode is exited by long pressing key 3.
You can also set the autorun time manually by carefully reading the instructions.
Firmware and reprogramming
Programming the Scher-Khan Magicar 5 key fob is relatively easy. If flashing is necessary, it is better to use a PIN code and follow the following instructions:
Within 4 seconds, turn the ignition key three times to different positions, and then turn off the circuit. Within the next 4 seconds, turn the ignition on again
It is important to ensure that the number of turns matches the secret code value. If everything is done correctly, the alarm will make a single light notification, which will confirm the possibility of entering other symbols. Turn on the ignition
The number of presses must correspond to the second digit of the code - if everything is correct, the emergency light will blink once. Using a similar principle, activate the remaining code values. When the code is entered, all you have to do is press 1 button on the pager and wait until the indicator lights blink once, indicating that the results have been successfully saved.
Following these instructions, you can reflash the alarm key fob in a couple of minutes.
Why doesn't the car start with the Scher-Khan Universe pager?
Anti-theft systems Sherkhan Universal 1, 2, 3 are equipped with voice control and remote control via GSM communication. To enable autorun, do the following.
- Press the # button for a few seconds. In this case, the engine should be running and the parking brake should be engaged.
- Remove the key from the ignition.
- Arm the alarm and press # for two seconds. The car should start with the key fob.
But there are times when the car does not start from autostart. The starter turns, but the engine is silent. This does not depend on the brand of the car; it can happen with both imported cars (Ford Focus, Hyundai Solaris) and domestic ones. Robot or mechanical box. This may happen for the following reasons:
- low battery charge;
- low engine temperature in winter;
- immobilizer malfunction preventing remote start;
- problems with the electrical equipment of the car;
- breakdown of the systems responsible for starting the engine.
If autostart fails, check whether the car starts with the key. If yes, then in this situation, reprogramming the autostart with a decrease in the startup frequency and an increase in temperature will help.

The engine started, but it doesn’t show on the key fob
If the car was started not from an additional key fob, but from the main one, and incorrect information is displayed on it, then you should look for an error made when installing the alarm system.
Check that each connector on the main module is connected correctly. If there is no malfunction, contact a specialist.
If you want to understand how to enable autostart on Sherkhan 5, you should study the operating instructions, know the operating principle and modes implemented in this car alarm system. It is controlled by using a switching key fob with an LCD display via a radio channel. Signals are broadcast at a distance of up to 1.5 km.
The device is equipped with cars equipped with a gasoline or diesel power unit with an on-board voltage of 12 W. The alarm system has the option of automatically starting the engine by activating a command from the key fob or starting from a timer.
Description and characteristics
The processing unit is connected directly to the car battery and runs on 12 volts. Its main function is to control the car, receive and transmit information from sensors.
The key fob switch is used to control the system by the user. In particular, setting a PIN code, programming functions, as well as enabling and disabling vehicle protection.
The equipment is supplied with an additional key fob and detailed instructions. There is also a manual for both operation and installation of the system. However, it is not recommended to install the system yourself. It’s better to ask the car service technicians to supply it.
Main functions
The key fob switch is designed to directly influence the system by the user. It is equipped with four control buttons and a display that displays all the necessary current information.
With it, you can turn the system on and off, as well as program the main unit. In this case, the power source is only one AAA battery.
The choice of a particular command is displayed on the screen and is also accompanied by sound and vibration. The display backlights automatically when buttons are pressed, as well as when an alarm signal is received.
The functionality of the electronic key fob also includes:
- MAGIC CODE - protection against interception of encrypted data;
- displaying the current battery charge level;
- displaying the voltage level of the car battery;
- possibility of remote engine start, including delayed start.
You can also check what the temperature is in the cabin at the moment and see the current time.
The key fob has a special signal reception range and is capable of functioning at a distance of up to one and a half meters from the car. The processor unit is responsible for directly protecting the vehicle and reacting to pressing the key fob buttons.
Its main functions are:
- automatic engine start on command;
- indication of the delay time for turning on accessories;
- disabling vehicle PIN code protection in the absence of a key fob;
- gaining access to the salon using PIN2;
- control of the car's central locking and trunk lock;
- alarm management;
- Possibility of protecting the car when the engine is running.
- The settings allow you to start the engine in the following ways:
- with a frequency of two, four or eight hours;
- every day at a certain time;
- by analyzing vehicle indicators - temperature or voltage.
Another available function is programming the maximum and minimum starter rotation time, as well as setting it to increase as the number of starting attempts increases.
PIN codes are set by the user and used for emergency access to the vehicle.
Technical specifications
This system can be built into any car, regardless of the type of engine and gearbox. It is possible to start engines equipped with a turbine.
Alerts are divided into three types:
- siren sound – lasts for thirty seconds, sounds continuously;
- optical - power one hertz, also lasts thirty seconds, works on two channels, is emitted intermittently;
- via a radio channel - a range of up to one and a half meters, lasts one hundred milliseconds at a frequency of 0.35 hertz, sounds intermittently.
The exact range of your switch depends on a number of factors, including obstructions, interference, certain weather conditions, and charge level.
The system is controlled in one of the following ways:
- remotely using a key fob;
- from the ignition key;
- due to the activation of the driver call sensor;
- as a reaction to certain sensor signals.
Electrical circuits are protected by fuses, resistors, and transistors. Additionally equipped with varistors that protect against voltage surges and interference. The functioning of the system even when the polarity of the power sources is changed is ensured by diodes.
There are contact sensors that respond to the opening of doors or turning the ignition switch. In this case, the system issues an alarm without the ability to turn it off.
The system also reacts to impacts by issuing a signal lasting up to 30 seconds in one cycle. All radio transmissions of the key fob occur over a secure channel using special coding.
The processing unit is characterized by the following parameters:
- work at voltage from 9 to 18 volts;
- current allowed is from 20 to 35 milliamps;
- operates at temperatures ranging from -40 to +85 degrees Celsius;
- total weight of the device is 270 grams;
- dimensions 150x120x32 millimeters.
Preparing for work
How to enable autostart on Sherkhan 5 is presented below, but first the alarm must be prepared for operation. Before you start using the key fob, you will need to perform certain actions aimed at activating it correctly. The fact is that in order to maintain a full battery charge, manufacturers supply the power supply separately from the main device.
To install the battery in the provided compartment, carefully remove the latch that holds the cover of the corresponding compartment in the closed position. As a rule, this operation does not cause any problems, since the body and other elements of Sherkhan 5 are made of high-quality and high-strength materials.
The next step involves moving the key fob cover away from the antenna and placing the battery in the compartment, observing the polarity. After adequate installation of the specified part, a characteristic melodic sound should be heard, after which it is necessary to replace the cover and latch.
How to install an alarm?
The systems must be installed and connected as follows:
- The battery is turned off to remove voltage from the on-board network.
- The microprocessor device is being installed. To do this, you will need to remove the interior lining and place the unit in a hidden place. During installation, the device is securely fixed to prevent the negative impact of vibrations on the module. It is recommended to place the unit under the dashboard or in the free space behind it.
- The siren is being installed under the hood of the car. The location must be chosen so that there are no sources of moisture or high temperatures nearby. The siren is mounted with the horn down to prevent moisture from accumulating inside. After installation, you need to make sure that the device and its wires will not be accessible from under the car.
- An antenna module with a diode indicator is installed. These elements are installed on the inner surface of the windshield; it must first be cleaned and degreased. Fixation is carried out using glue or double-sided tape.
- A temperature controller and a shock sensor are being installed. These elements are installed inside the car. Wires for connecting them are laid under a plastic lining.
- Limit switches are installed on the doors, as well as the luggage compartment and hood. The wires from them must be laid so that they do not come into contact with moving parts of the body. Cables are laid under the cladding.
- A service key is installed in the car interior. Its installation must be done in a hidden place, but the consumer must have access to the button from the driver's seat. The button can be disguised by wrapping it with black electrical tape.
- At the final stage, all components are connected to the microprocessor module. An engine lock relay is connected to the ignition switch.
Setting up automatic start
Enabling autorun is described in detail in the step-by-step instructions provided: Button pressing modes differ in two parameters (important):
- Short-term activation – a single impact on a key, lasting no more than a second, which is accompanied by a short signal;
- Long press – hold the button for more than 2 seconds until a sound alert appears, after which you can release the key.
Before setting up autostart, you must remove the car alarm, change the position of the driver's door and be in or near the vehicle.
Further adjustment of motor excitation programming is illustrated using functions 1-12 for 25 minutes. First you need to enter settings mode No. 1, activate buttons 1 and 2 at the same time. You should hold them until the remote control beeps. If the manipulation is carried out correctly, the alarm will be in the programming sector.
Next, you need to make successive touches of button No. 4 in the number specified by the program. Each click must be confirmed a specified number of times. In the example under consideration there are 12 clicks. Upon completion of activation, you should hold the button for 3-4 seconds, after which the device will sound 12 alerts to confirm the programming item.
Adjusting the shock sensor
The collision sensor warns the car owner about an accident with the car when the car is parked with the alarm on.
Scher-Khan Magicar V alarm sensors come in two levels: when a light shock occurs, the alarm sounds 4 times and the alarm flashes 4 times. In the event of a strong impact, the remote control goes into alarm mode, which lasts 30 seconds - 30 “emergency” flashes and 30 short beeps. The shock sensors can be activated or deactivated by pressing the combination of buttons I and III and holding them down for 2 seconds.
Adjusting the collision sensor helps avoid false alarms from the collision warning sensor, since with a sensitive sensor, even the passage of a nearby vehicle can be mistakenly perceived by the system as an emergency impact. To adjust the sensitivity of the sensors, physical access to them is required; You can find out the location of the shock sensors at the service station. The sensors themselves are equipped with regulators; turning clockwise increases sensitivity, counterclockwise turns it down until the sensor is completely turned off.
Features using a specific example
Autostart settings for Sherkhan 5 every 2 hours or when the temperature in the cabin drops to – 15 °C, with the cabin warming up for 25 minutes, perform the following manipulations:
- Simultaneously activate buttons I and II, then press VI twelve times, and finally hold down button III (functions 1-12 are adjusted taking into account the time value of 25 minutes);
- Activators I and II are pressed synchronously, button No. VI is clicked 13 times (alarm functions No. 1-13 are set to a time value of 2 hours;
- Press simultaneously I+II and VI – 21 touches (function 1-21 is set to temperature – 15°C).
Using this principle, you can set autorun to different time limits and temperature conditions. It is worth remembering that an error at any stage of the settings will require starting the entire process all over again.
Setting the time on the key fob
Setting the exact time on the remote control display is a necessary procedure for starting the car engine using a timer in automatic mode. Since the exact time is reset when turned off, the setting is performed not only before starting work, but also when replacing the battery.
Setting the correct time on the remote control involves several steps.
- you must press the combination of buttons II and III. Duration of pressure is 2 seconds. You then enter programming mode, of which the owner is notified by a beep from the remote control, a flashing alarm and a special symbol on the display.
- Then press the I button and hold it for 0.5 seconds. Thus, the mode for setting the exact time is activated, which is confirmed by a sound signal. The current time on the device flashes.
- Then the exact time is set. Using the I key you can change the hour display, and using the II key you can change the minute display. To change the pitch, press and hold the desired button for 0.5 seconds.
- The last step is to exit the programming mode, which is done by pressing the combination of keys II and III. Exit from the mode is confirmed by a sound signal.
User reviews and conclusions
As the owners of the Sherkhan 5 car alarm note, there are some nuances that block the engine from starting automatically, even if the program is configured correctly. One of these reasons is the redundancy option (only for manual transmission).
The essence of the problem is that if the manual transmission lever is not in neutral, the possibility of auto-starting the engine is excluded. To solve this problem, you can use the following recommendations:
- At the end of the movement, the gearshift lever is placed in the neutral position;
- Next, the key is removed from the ignition, while the engine continues to function;
- After leaving the car and closing the door, the engine stalls.
Taking into account all the considered nuances and capabilities of the car alarm system in question, we can conclude that the answer to the question of how to enable autostart on Sherkhan 5 has nuances related to the setup and operation of the system. By carefully performing all stages of device configuration, you can adjust autostart, which is available independently for various time and temperature conditions.
Autostart based on temperature and voltage
Since Sherkhan Magikar 5 (in the generally accepted meaning) does not allow you to enable autostart based on temperature, only limiting periodic startup is possible. In other words, the car will try to start every 2, 4, 8 hours if the following conditions are met:
- the temperature at the installation point of the central unit is lower than the specified threshold;
- The battery voltage is lower than the specified threshold.
You can set one of these conditions, or two at the same time. Their programming is described below.
