Step by step guide

Algorithm of actions:

1. A microprocessor module is installed inside the car. Its installation is carried out secretly, in a place least susceptible to external influences - high temperatures, humidity. To prevent the block from breaking due to vibrations, it must be properly fixed. The device can be additionally wrapped with foam rubber. Self-tapping screws, double-sided tape or plastic ties are used to secure the module.
2. A siren is placed under the hood of the car. It should be positioned with the horn down and installed away from the power unit and the intake manifold. Concealed installation of the device is recommended. All connections should be made in the cabin to prevent oxidation from forming on the contacts.
3. Temperature and shock sensors are installed inside the car. It is recommended to place them in a hidden manner, since the location of the microprocessor unit can be determined by the wires coming from the controllers.
4. The transceiver module is mounted on the windshield or rear window. The working surface must be cleaned and degreased in advance. It is recommended to place devices as high as possible to ensure high-quality transmission and reception of signals. To prevent interference, there should be no metal objects or power cables near the transceiver.
5. Limit switches are being installed. They should not be placed near grooves for moisture drainage. When the locks are closed, there should be no access to the switches.
6. After installing all components, they are connected to the control unit. Electrical circuits should be placed under the decorative trim of the interior, away from electronic devices and moving parts.

Keychain - communicator

Before you start using the scher khan magicar a alarm key fob, you need to bring it into working position. During storage, as well as transportation, in order to avoid battery discharge, an insulating pad is installed between it and the contact block; it is this that allows the battery not to run out.

It is necessary to remove the insulator from the alarm battery compartment. Bend the leash securing the cover of the key fob body and move the cover to the side, away from the antenna. Remove the battery.

Remove the insulator between it and the contact block. Replace the battery, strictly observing the polarity indicated on the bottom of the battery compartment. Now you can close the battery cover, the key fob is ready for use.

Important! It is necessary to set the exact time of the scher khan alarm key fob. This is necessary for the correct operation of the autostart of the power plant.

Possible faults

Malfunctions and errors that may occur in the operation of a car alarm:

1. Difficulties in signal transmission. The problem may be due to a malfunction of the communicator or a low battery. The power source needs to be changed. If the problem persists, then the faulty key fob must be disassembled and the integrity of its internal components checked. Traces of dirt and moisture are removed using dry cotton wool, the device must be dried, and damaged contacts are resoldered.
2. Malfunctions in the transceiver can also lead to failures in sending signals. It is necessary to make sure that the device is installed correctly, as well as the integrity of the wire through which it is connected. If the electrical circuit is damaged, it must be replaced. Restoring the cable by twisting is not allowed - only soldering.
3. Damage to electrical circuits. To find a failed line, you will need a special tester.
4. The siren triggering for no reason may be due to incorrect settings of the sensitivity controller. To resolve this problem, this parameter must be adjusted.
5. Malfunctions in the operation of the microprocessor unit. It is almost impossible to determine a software or hardware error yourself without using diagnostic equipment. The only thing the user can do is visually check the integrity of the block connection block, and also inspect its board. The module may not operate correctly due to moisture on the internal components; to eliminate this problem, the board must be dried. If the contacts on the unit connector are damaged, the block will have to be re-soldered.

When arming

Sensor activation:

• as soon as the central alarm LED begins to flicker, the system will protect all security zones, the trunk lid of the engine compartment, doors and the call sensor;
• after the 30 second period has expired, the shock sensor is also activated;

Important! If, during the installation of the protective mode of the scher khan alarm system, a sound notification sounded three times, and an icon in the form of a car with an open door appeared on the key fob screen, then one of the security zones is not in order (trunk, engine compartment, one of the doors, trunk lid).

As soon as the security zone is in order, the system will automatically protect it. The engine compartment is notified separately on the key fob screen, the hood sensor must be connected to the trunk lock.
