Now you can put the STSTS in security mode. The engine will run until 2 minutes have elapsed. interval. When the car is put into security mode, the door sensors (hood or trunk) are armed immediately, and the shock sensor, additional sensor and driver call sensor will start working after 30 seconds. after stopping the engine.

Advantages and disadvantages

Advantages of the Magikar 4 alarm system:

1. Great functionality at a relatively low cost. The presence of additional options provides more simplified vehicle control.
2. Using battery power saving mode in remote controls. Thanks to this, it was possible to achieve a longer battery life.
3. Easy to set up. The communicator has a clear interface. The service documentation includes all the nuances associated with changing parameters using the key fob.

Alarm disadvantages:

1. There are malfunctions in the anti-theft system. The first malfunctions, as consumer reviews show, can occur several months after installation. This drawback may be due to errors made during installation.
2. Rapid wear of the key fob due to a weak case. It is not classified as shock-resistant, so it can fail even after a minor fall.
3. False alarms for no reason. In practice, this often happens at high humidity and in rainy weather. Typically, this problem is associated with oxidation of the contacts on the sensor itself, which leads to their short circuit. False alarms may be caused by incorrect adjustment of the shock sensor sensitivity parameter.
4. Pager beep volume is low. If the security is activated while the user is in a noisy place, he will not hear the warning.

The “aupovy” channel showed what problem a car owner who has a Sherkhan Magikar 4 alarm system may encounter.

Nuances of use

When using this car alarm model, you should pay attention to some features of its operation.

If you start controlling the trunk lock while the car is in security mode, the system will automatically disable the car lock.

"VALET" mode. You can enter it without using the key fob. You just need to turn the ignition on and off in a certain sequence. This process is pre-programmed as a code sequence. This is used to shut down the system in emergency situations.

How to install?

In accordance with the operating instructions for the Sherkhan Magikar 4 car alarm, the installation of the anti-theft system should be carried out on a car with the battery disconnected.

Setting up and programming the key fob

Guide to linking the new Magicar 4 pager:

1. Within 4 seconds, the user turns the ignition on and off by turning the key in the lock to the appropriate positions. The light alarm or side optics, depending on how the system was connected, will work once.
2. Over the next 4 seconds after turning on the lights, you must press the first button on the key fob. The device will be registered in the memory of the microprocessor module.
3. Programming mode is exited automatically four seconds after setup.

Linking a communicator using a personal code is done as follows:

1. The ignition is turned on and off within 4 seconds; this must be done three times. The vehicle's lights will flash.
2. The ignition in the car is turned off and activated several times. The number depends on the first digit of the personal code. If it is 4, then the actions must be repeated four times. 4 s after the last switch on, the headlights will blink.
3. Within four seconds, the next digit of the code is entered, and the same actions are performed. The confirmation includes the optical devices of the car.
4. Within a further 4 s, the first key fob button is pressed. The remote control will be programmed.

Arming

The protective function is activated by briefly pressing the first button on the remote control. The car's ignition must be turned off and all door locks must be locked. If you plan to further autostart the engine, then the gearbox selector must be set to the neutral position. When the security system is turned on, the starter mechanism and ignition system are blocked.

The shock sensor is activated automatically 30 seconds after pressing button 1. When the LED indicator blinks, the alarm monitors the status of the door locks, as well as other security zones. To activate the protection mode when the engine is running, use the first key, but the ignition must be on. To disable security, use button 2.

The channel “Active Recreation from Vlad” in its video showed in detail the process of deactivating Sherkhan Magikar protection using a personal code.

Setting up the service mode

Entering the Sherkhan Magikar 4 service mode is performed by simultaneously pressing controls 1 and 3. When activated, the protective function must be disabled. On a car with the “Valet” mode enabled, it is possible to close and unlock the door locks; for this, the corresponding keys 1 and 2 are used. The operation of this function will be indicated by the indicator on the key fob display.

It is possible to activate the service option using a password:

1. The ignition is turned on and off three times within four seconds. The alarm's readiness to enter the code will be indicated by blinking side or turning lights.
2. Within 4 seconds, the user enters the first digit of the password. The procedure for specifying symbols is similar to that carried out when programming a communicator. Four seconds after entry, an alarm will sound. This indicates that the system is ready to indicate the next digit.
3. The steps for entering other characters are carried out in the same way. If the password is correct, the lights will blink twice.

Autostart

Before implementing this option, it is necessary to perform the gearbox reservation procedure:

1. The engine must be in working condition. The transmission lever must be set to the neutral speed position.
2. The handbrake is raised. When performing these actions, the driver must depress the brake.
3. The foot is removed from the pedal.
4. The ignition in the car is turned off. The engine must remain running.
5. The driver gets out of the car and locks the door. After closing it, the engine should stop.

Autorun by timer

To start the power unit, press keys 2 and 4 on the key fob. An indicator with the corresponding inscription will appear on the pager screen. The engine will start at intervals from 2 to 24 hours; elements 1 and 3 are used to control the interval. Depending on the user settings, the operating time of the motor can range from 15 to 45 seconds.

When this option is enabled, the following happens:

• the siren is activated by one sound signal;
• lighting devices blink 1 time;
• the alarm status LED flickers;
• on the key fob display, the car headlights will blink five times, and the indicator in the form of a lock will also light up;
• the pager will play a ringtone.

Disabling autorun

To deactivate the timer option, you must move the cursor to the position of the indicator labeled “Timer” and disable the function. To stop a power unit started remotely, you need to press the second button on the communicator and hold it for two seconds.

Remote start

Remote engine start on command is performed by pressing key 2 of the communicator for two seconds. This will activate the security mode and lock the door locks. The siren will sound 1 time, the car headlights will blink. The LED indicator will remain on continuously while the engine is running.

Turbo mode

Prohibiting or allowing the activation of a function in Magikar 4 is done by simultaneously pressing keys 3 and 4 on the remote control. When the turbo mode is turned on, the engine will continue to operate at idle speed for a certain time after turning off the ignition system. The interval is user programmable. This helps prevent rapid wear of the structural elements of the power unit. When the mode is activated, the corresponding indicator on the key fob display will light up.

To change the motor operating time, perform the following steps:

1. The programming menu is entered. To do this, the user simultaneously presses keys 2 and 4 on the remote control for two seconds. The siren will sound once and the car lights will blink.
2. Using the control buttons, select option 2-19 - setting the turbo timer operating time.
3. Key 1 determines the factory value of the function - 120 seconds. Using buttons 2, 3 and 4 you can set the operating time to 180, 240 or 300 seconds.

Connecting the key fob to the Sherkhan Logicar 4 alarm system

Setting up an alarm with auto start Scher Khan Magicar 5

Of the entire range of alarms with auto-start from Scher-Khan, the most unsuccessful is definitely Magicar 5. This is due not only and not so much to the vulnerability to hacking common to all Scher-Khan systems of these years, but also to the extremely illogical implementation of auto-start. Even the classic and most convenient “software neutral” for raising the handbrake cannot be physically implemented here; there is no input for the handbrake.

In the same way, the most accurate analog method of monitoring engine operation using a tachometer signal is not provided. Therefore, the best recommendation for owners of such systems would be to replace them with more modern ones that work adequately with autostart and code grabbers that are resistant to hacking.

However, many motorists continue to use previously installed (usually in car dealerships) Magicar 5, and during operation, questions inevitably arise - from how to set up the Sherkhan Magicar 5 key fob to how to disable autostart on Magicar 5 (by the way, the correct reading is “magikar”).

Sensitivity adjustment

You can adjust the sensitivity of the sensor using the regulators installed on it. The first is responsible for setting the warning zone, the second - the alarm zone.

How to reduce sensitivity level

To reduce the sensitivity of the sensor, rotate the adjustment knobs counterclockwise . You can determine the result by lightly hitting the body pillar. If necessary, you can turn the knob one more turn. After completing the adjustment, be sure to check the operation of both control zones.
