Key Features

Car alarm Sherkhan Magikar 10 has the ability to connect to both external and standard car digital interfaces.

List of features and functions of the Scher-Khan Magicar 10 security complex:

1. Sound and melodic accompaniment when setting up and enabling options on an installed car alarm.
2. Availability of vibration mode. When activated, the communicator will not emit signals, but only vibrate.
3. Ability to determine the state of charge of the main battery of the car. Thanks to standard sensors, the system monitors the voltage level in the electrical network. The remote control display also displays information about the battery charge in the communicator.
4. The ability to determine the temperature level in the vehicle interior.
5. Availability of an individual password to control the anti-theft system. Using the code, the user can enter the service mode to configure basic parameters. Using a password is important if the communicator is lost or damaged.
6. Using the protection function in the key fob from binding third-party remote controls.
7. Ability to start security mode automatically.
8. Using the false alarm protection function. Information about them is sent only to the remote control; the siren does not play alarm signals.
9. The presence of a button lock function on the communicator.
10. Possibility of operation of the anti-theft complex in the “Slave” mode. This allows you to control the car alarm using the remote control from the standard central locking system. To implement this function, the system must be connected to a digital interface.
11. The presence of several additional channels that allow you to control the electrical equipment of the car.
12. Possibility to turn on protection when the engine is running, as well as silent protection. In the latter case, when an alarm is triggered, the siren does not turn on. Information about this is transmitted only to the communicator with a display.
13. Using the "Hands Free" option. Its use will allow you to automatically turn on and off the security mode when the car owner moves away or approaches the car.
14. Warning the user about open doors or activated optics through external lighting devices.
15. The use of separate power outputs to control the light alarm, as well as the luggage compartment lock.
16. The presence of an option for automatically locking and unlocking the doors when the ignition is turned on and off.
17. Ability to select the duration and number of door lock control signals.
18. Automatic activation and deactivation of protection mode.

Setting up autorun UNIVERSE

The UNIVERSE car security system is more modern than the previous version. It has voice control and a remote control system via GSM communication. To enable autorun:

1. With the engine running and the parking brake raised, press and hold the # button.
2. When the ignition support mode turns on, you should remove the keys from the lock and get out of the car.
3. Put the car in security mode and press #, holding the button for at least 2 seconds.

This way you can start the car remotely.

It is more convenient to make all settings, including setting the engine operating time, through a mobile application, which is very easy to understand. There is also a function to disable autostart of the car.

Advantages and disadvantages

Advantages of Sherkhan Magikar 10:

1. Great alarm functionality at an affordable price. Thanks to the many options, the process of managing not only the anti-theft system, but also the standard electrical equipment of the car is simplified.
2. Effective vehicle protection. Signal encoding is based on dynamic technology. This is a more advanced and reliable option compared to interactive pulse coding.
3. Detailed manual included in the package.
4. Possibility of alarm functioning with additional modules. For example, the user can implement automatic engine start, where the engine starts without the need to install the key in the ignition. However, for this the user must additionally install a special unit. You won't be able to enable autorun using standard tools.

Disadvantages characteristic of this model:

1. Reduced range of the key fob, which does not coincide with that declared by the manufacturer. According to reviews, the alarm will not be able to receive impulses if the user is at a distance of two kilometers from the car. The maximum actual range is 1.5 km, provided the terrain is clear of interference. In large cities this figure is even lower - about 300 meters.
2. Poor quality of the communicator. Over time, the buttons on the remote control begin to “stick,” especially if the user has not installed the key fob in a protective case. This problem can lead to device failure or, at a minimum, incorrect operation.
3. The probability of hacking, although low, is still there. Dialogue encoding allows you to protect the alarm from interception of pulses by scanners. An experienced hijacker, using a special grabber code, will be able to hack the system. Professionals in this field usually steal expensive vehicles, so installing a security system on premium brands of cars is not recommended.

How to install Sherkhan Magikar 10?

Before installing the Scher-Khan Magicar 10 alarm system, the user must disconnect the battery to avoid possible failure of electrical equipment.

Alarm Installation Guide:

1. Before installing the system, it is recommended to assemble it separately from the car and connect it to the battery. This will ensure that the security system is in good working order.
2. The control unit is installed inside the car and secured with plastic ties or double-sided tape. The module is supplied in a non-sealed housing, so its installation in the engine compartment is not allowed. It is possible to install the device behind the instrument panel, but there should be no electronic equipment near the unit, as it will cause interference.
3. The transceiver module is mounted in the corner of the windshield or rear window, on the sun visor, or directly on the instrument panel. It is important that there are no metal parts or electronic elements near the antenna. The temperature of the glass surface during installation should be at least 10 degrees Celsius. It is recommended that the transceiver module be oriented vertically to ensure maximum signal reception quality. The cable is laid under the decorative lining of the interior.
4. The car owner's call controller is also installed in the area of ​​the windshield, the surface of which is cleaned and degreased. After installation, the device body should not come into contact with plastic panels or the body. The cable is laid under the cladding, since it cannot be squeezed. The sensor is equipped with a special regulator, changing the position of which allows you to reduce or increase the level of sensitivity.
5. The siren is installed under the hood of the vehicle; the installation site must be protected from access from under the bottom of the car. Do not place the device near the engine or other quickly heating components. The siren horn turns downward to prevent moisture from accumulating in it. Wires from the device are routed into the passenger compartment through a technological hole in the partition separating the engine compartment. It is not recommended to solder connections under the hood, since the contacts will quickly oxidize at high air humidity.
6. Limit switches are installed on the metal surfaces of the doors, hood and luggage compartment. Placement of devices is not allowed on drains. Installed controllers should not interfere with loading and unloading luggage, as well as engine maintenance and repair.
7. The shock sensor is installed on a strong, flat surface and secured with two bolts. During installation, it must be taken into account that the user must have free access to the device if necessary to adjust the sensitivity parameters.
8. The engine lock relay is installed under the trim around the ignition switch and connected to the switch.

MAGIGAR 5 INSTALLATION ON ENGINE WARMING UP KEY FOB, MORE THAN 5 MINUTES

I downloaded the manual, it’s 80 pages long, but I couldn’t figure it out.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can provide information on this issue.

Setting up Sher Khan 5 autorun

Button pressing modes (not to be confused!):

1. A short press
   is a single press lasting no more than 0.5 seconds, accompanied by a short sound signal.
2. A long press
   is holding the button pressed for more than 2 seconds. - until a beep appears, then you can release the button.

You only need to change 3 functions:

• 1-12 engine operating time (5min/15min/25min/45min)
• 1-13 start frequency (24h/8h/4h/2h)
• 1-21 start temperature threshold (no/-15/-25/+60)

Before programming, you need to remove the car from the alarm and open/close the driver's door (so that the alarm doesn't go back on during programming), and you also need to be in or near the car. An example of programming the engine operating time (function 1-12) for 25 minutes:

1. Entering programming mode No. 1: press buttons I and II simultaneously - hold until the remote control emits a signal. The alarm will go into programming mode.
2. We successively perform short presses of the IV button as many times as required for the selected program. In our case, we need to press 12 times. Each press will be confirmed by signals from the key fob and the car. After you press the IV button the required number of times, you need to pause for 2-4 seconds, after which the alarm will sound sequentially, confirming the number of the programming item (12 times).
3. Then you need to press the button once in accordance with the required value: (example: I - 5min, II - 15min, III - 25min, IV - 45min)

After this, the alarm will exit the programming mode. If you make a mistake at any step, you will have to repeat everything from the beginning. So, to configure Sherkhan 5 to autorun every 2 hours

or
when the temperature in the cabin drops to -15
and with
a warm-up time of 25 minutes,
you need to perform the following steps:

1. function 1-12 - set to 25 min (III). (I+II)—; IV(12 times); III
2. Function 1-13 is set to 2 hours (IV). (I+II)—; IV(13 times); IV
3. function 1-21 is set to the value -15?С (II) (I+II)—; IV(21 times); II

and thanks again to everyone who helped solve the problem.

Typical faults

Problems that may occur in the operation of the Scher-Khan Magicar 10 car alarm:

1. Fuse failure. If a part on one of the power lines burns out, this will lead to a malfunction of the structural elements of the anti-theft system. We are talking about a siren, a control unit, and a central locking system. A damaged safety component must be replaced. In this case, it is necessary to take into account the rating of the failed part.
2. The buttons on the remote control stick. If this problem occurs, you will need to resolder the communicator keys. Most often, sticking is caused by damage to the contact between the button and the board. If the key itself is intact, then it does not need to be replaced, but if the plastic base is damaged, the element must be replaced. The device casing will need to be disassembled.
3. The low range of the key fob is usually associated with a low power source. You will need to check the battery operation and change it if necessary. You must use batteries of the appropriate standard.
4. Communicator failure. Only a specialist can solve a software problem, but sometimes malfunctions in the key fob can be fixed on your own. You will need to disassemble the device case and assess the condition of its board. If the cause of the malfunction is related to the effect of moisture on the circuit, then it must be dried to remove any remaining condensation. It is recommended to resolder all damaged contacts.
5. Damage to the control unit. This device can also be affected by moisture, so its housing must be disassembled and dried. Sometimes the malfunction consists of oxidation of the contacts on the block or their damage. To eliminate the problem, the elements are resoldered or the connector is cleaned. Perhaps the reason is related to incorrect operation of the software, then you will need to reflash the microprocessor module.
6. Damage to electrical circuits or deterioration of insulation. To find a failed line, you will need a multimeter; using the tester, you can test all cables. Wear of the insulating layer will lead to incorrect operation of the anti-theft system. Damaged conductors must be replaced with new ones and additionally wrapped with electrical tape to increase their service life. When replacing cables, it is recommended to use the soldering method rather than twisting, so the connection will be as reliable as possible.
7. Damage to the limit switches or poor contact with the network. With prolonged use, the contact elements on the “limit switches” tend to oxidize. This leads to the fact that one or more car doors do not close when the security mode is turned on. It is necessary to clean the connector through which the device is connected to the control unit.

Malfunctions in the operation of the Scherhan Magicar 10 car alarm in practice are most often caused by a low battery in the remote control.

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”).
