Errors in device operation and their elimination

Overview of malfunctions and malfunctions that may occur during the operation of the Tomahawk 7010:

The security system does not respond to commands sent from the remote control. The user must diagnose the power supply in the device. If the battery needs to be replaced, be sure to pay attention to the polarity during installation. After dismantling the element, press button 5.
If there is no response to commands, the cause of the problem may be damage to the board or contact elements on the communicator keys. To repair, the user will need to disassemble the device by unscrewing the bolts on its body and check the circuit. If traces of moisture are visible on it, then the communicator must be dried in a warm place, but not near a household stove or in the sun. Failed contacts must be resoldered or cleaned if the problem is their oxidation. Remove dust and debris from the housing with a dry brush or cloth.
Incorrect operation of the alarm and lack of response may result from damaged cables. When the insulating layer wears out or breaks, the system does not close all doors or does not respond at all to the pager command. A multimeter is used to diagnose the integrity of electrical circuits. When checking, you must first assess the condition of the lines that are laid in the area of the moving nodes. When laying new wires, it is recommended to wrap them with electrical tape to ensure maximum reliability in the future.
The cause of the malfunction may be poor contact of one of the alarm blocks with the control unit. It is necessary to diagnose the connectors for connecting the microprocessor, transceiver, and push-button switches. The contact elements may have become clogged or oxidized and will require cleaning to correct the problem. If the plug itself fails, it must be replaced.
A large number of false alarms may be due to incorrect settings of the sensitivity of the shock regulator. To change this parameter, special control devices located directly on the sensor are used.
If it was not possible to find the reason for the incorrect operation of the alarm, then it may be a malfunction of the microprocessor. The device could fail due to moisture getting inside. The steps to troubleshoot the problem are the same as in the case of a pager. If visual diagnostics did not allow us to identify the problem, then we can conclude that it is a software malfunction. To eliminate it, you will need to reflash the control unit or repair it.

How to properly set up a car alarm

The complex offers many secondary functions that make life much easier for the owner. They are configured through the programming mode.

With the ignition off, the Override button is pressed five times.
The ignition turns on and the car emits five beeps.
Each subsequent click of Override helps you select the appropriate function according to the table (1 click – central locking pulse length, 2 clicks – safe driving setting, etc.).
Pressing a certain button on the key fob sets the corresponding parameter.

Tomahawk alarm instructions: basic settings of the timer, alarm clock or clock

For the setup mode, use a button on the main key fob with the designation “F in a circle” and buttons with the designation “silhouette of a car with an open trunk lid” and “speaker crossed out with two lines.”

Basic modes for setting the clock, alarm clock and timer (number of presses on the button marked “F in a circle”):

Setting the minutes on the clock (number of presses – 1);
Setting the clock on the alarm clock (number of presses – 2);
Setting the minutes on the alarm clock (number of presses – 3);
Turning on (off) the alarm clock (number of presses – 4);
Setting the clock on the timer (number of presses – 5);
Setting minutes on the timer (number of presses – 6);
Turning on (off) the timer (number of presses – 7).

Tomahawk's instructions for setting the clock and alarm suggest the following steps. I start setting the time after setting the clock settings mode (after holding down the button marked “F in a circle”, a field with an electronic clock appears on the liquid crystal display of the key fob).

To set the clock value, use the buttons marked “silhouette of a car with an open trunk lid” (increasing time) and “speaker crossed out with two lines” (decreasing time).

Also in relation to the Tomahawk alarm, the instructions for setting the alarm are similar to setting the clock. The alarm clock is set after setting the hours and minutes by double pressing the button marked “F in a circle”.

After setting the required hours and minutes for the alarm clock (to quickly start, use the simultaneous pressing of the buttons marked “silhouette of a car with an open trunk lid” and “F in a circle”), by pressing the button marked “F in a circle” four times, exit to the submenu activating the alarm.

In relation to the Tomahawk complex, the instructions for setting the timer are as follows: after setting the alarm clock, press the button marked “F in a circle” five times, setting the hour value. Accordingly, you need to press the same button six times, setting the required minute value. After setting the time for the timer, activate (deactivate) it by pressing the button marked “F in a circle” seven times.

Tomahawk 7010: Keychain

Car alarms have two types of remote controls: main and backup. The main pager is equipped with five buttons and is powered by a standard AAA battery. Buttons near the LCD screen allow you to disarm the car and put it under protection. The end keys are responsible for activating and deactivating additional functions. The maximum signal range is 1200 meters in ideal conditions.

The spare remote control is designed in case of loss of the main one and is suitable for temporary use. There are four buttons here and there is no screen with informative displays. Feedback is provided by an LED, and the signal range is up to 30 meters.

Key fob characteristics

Tomahawk car alarms (modern versions, such as the popular x5, tz-9020 or tw-9010, 9030) usually come with two key fobs:

the main one, with two-way communication - a key fob with a liquid crystal display, which allows the car owner to receive security alerts and control the security system from a distance; it usually has five buttons;
additional, with one-way communication - this key fob does not have a display, it has only four buttons and an LED indicator.

Using the key fob of most alarm systems, you can perform the following basic functions:

arranging/disarming a car;
closing and opening doors with the engine running;
opening the trunk lock at a distance, including separately from the doors;
automatic engine start (including delayed by timer or set temperature)
immobilizer control;
searching for a car in a large parking lot;
turning on siren and anti-robbery modes;
monitoring all systems of a protected vehicle from a distance (temperature, battery charge, gasoline level, etc.);
viewing the history of system alerts;
adjusting the sensitivity level of motion and shock sensors;
programming car alarm functions;
remote activation of service mode.

These options are described in detail in the instructions for use for any key fob.

Remote compatibility

If the Tomahawk TZ-7010 key fob is lost or damaged, you need to purchase an original spare part. The cost of the part is about 1000 rubles. However, the pager is not completely original; the company welcomes interchangeability, so you can buy related spare parts from other alarm models. Parts from the N1b H2, LR-1010, TW-7010, TW-9020, TW-9030 systems are perfect. A complete analogue is the TZ-9020/TZ-9030 keychain.

Easy to maintain and reliable

What makes buyers purchase Tomahawk alarm models? First of all, it is a combination of many important parameters for car protection with auto start that make this anti-theft system so effective and popular among motorists:

Installation and assembly of the device is so simple that there is no need to have special knowledge or complex equipment. Even a novice car mechanic can install the Tomahawk alarm system;
Intensive use of any Tomahawk model maintains the stability of the alarm system and requires minimal maintenance costs. There are additional protective settings for the car, which are indicated in the instructions from the manufacturer;
Tomahawk alarm system of any model offers a full package of services, thereby achieving the maximum level of driver comfort and safety.

Just turn on the Tomahawk and it will do the rest itself!

Programming key fob Tomahawk TZ 7010

When purchasing new original remote controls or analogue ones, the question arises - how to register them in the car’s memory? The procedure is carried out in several steps.

The car ignition turns off.
The override button is pressed 7 times.
After turning on the ignition, the machine will emit seven beeps confirming the entry into recording mode.
On the remote control you press and hold buttons with a lock and a sound signal.
Up to four pagers can be stored in memory at the same time, and the transition to standard mode is carried out automatically; you only need to press nothing for 6 seconds.

How to use the button?

Please note that the procedure for managing car alarm settings requires a more responsible approach. It is better for car owners who have experience and skills in carrying out this task to start it. If you make mistakes when programming the Tomahawk security complex with the Override button, this will lead to a malfunction of the alarm system.

Options setting table with button

The most common option is the ability to cancel the speed limit for moving the car in reverse:

To disable this function or remove restrictions, the car owner needs to click and hold the button in this state for several seconds. After this, the consumer must smoothly press the throttle lever. This will disable the lock.
If the throttle lever is already depressed, then you should not press and hold the Override key. This will cause you to lose control of the vehicle.

Entering the settings menu

To enter the Tomahawk car alarm settings menu, follow these steps:

Insert the key into the lock and turn off the ignition.
Press the Override service key several times. The button is clicked three times to enter the emergency Valet mode. You must press the button four times if you need to select the function of daily automatic start of the power unit. To change the setting of the automatic engine warm-up function according to the specified temperature in the car interior, the key is clicked five times.
Then the ignition is turned off.
The security system will play several siren signals in confirmation, their number depends on the choice of function. The alarm will indicate successful entry into emergency mode with three sounds and flashes of the side lights. If the system has entered the mode for setting up the daily automatic engine start function, the siren will emit four signals, and the car’s turns will blink the same number of times.
To enable or disable the option, click on the Override button.
In response, the alarm system must confirm the activation or deactivation of the option through a siren, as well as signals from the system status diode light. One sound will indicate the successful activation of the option, and if the siren plays a double signal, this indicates that the function is disabled.
After setting the functions, you must turn off the ignition. The car's lights will blink five times.

Enabling or disabling protection mode

To emergency activate and deactivate the protective mode, do the following:

The ignition is activated. The procedure for turning on the protective mode is carried out with the power unit turned off.
The service key is clicked eight times.
The ignition in the car turns off. In confirmation, the vehicle’s lighting devices will blink once, and the complex’s siren will also play one signal. Twenty seconds after the actions are completed, the protective mode will be activated. During this time, you need to have time to leave the car, turn off all electrical equipment and close the doors. If one of the security zones is turned on after activation of the emergency protection mode, the complex will report this with three flashes of light devices and a triple siren signal. If the driver does not disable the protective mode within 20 seconds after the notification from the system, this will trigger an alarm.
To disarm the car when the pager is not working or lost, you need to turn on the ignition using the key. There is no need to start the power unit of the car.
To disable the function, press the service key four times. After this, the ignition is turned off.

Keychain binding

The Tip-Top channel talked about linking new pagers to the Tomahawk security complex.

Linking new key fobs to control the alarm using the Override button is done as follows:

The ignition is activated by inserting and turning the key in the lock. The engine should not be started.
The service key is pressed until the car siren sounds four times. This indicates that the processor device has successfully entered the pager binding mode.
The Override button is released.
The keys on the remote control are pressed in the form of an open luggage compartment and a crossed out speaker. Successful binding of the pager will be indicated by one signal if the first remote control is linked, the second one will sound two signals, the third one will sound three, etc.
If you do not send signals to the security complex for six seconds, it will automatically exit the setup mode. You can also leave the menu by turning off the ignition.

How to reset settings

When buying a used car or experiencing system glitches, sometimes you need to reset user settings. Resetting to factory settings takes a couple of minutes.

The ignition is turned off.
Press the Override key ten times.
The ignition is turned on, 10 sound and light signals are heard.
Pressing the service button again will activate the return to standard settings mode.
The button with the lock is clicked once on the remote control.

The car signals the success of the procedure by resetting all user parameters to factory settings.

How to disable Anti Hijack mode

The Tomahawk TW-7000 alarm system has a special Anti-Hijack function, provided in case of car theft. Its activation occurs after pressing the buttons with a lock and lightning on the remote control. In this case, the ignition should be turned on, and the car will blink its dimensions once. The mode involves three stages.

The first is 30 seconds, when the alarm simply allows the owner to leave the car.
The second is 30 seconds, during which the car flashes its lights and beeps.
The third is to turn off the engine and refuse to restart.

You can disable the mode in the first two stages by pressing the button with the lock. After entering the third phase, deactivation is possible only after entering an individual PIN code.

Installation Guide: Connection Diagram

Having the user manual in hand (watch) and a suitable set of tools, you can connect the Tomahawk TZ-7010 alarm system with your own hands. To work you will need:

a set of soldering accessories (tin, rosin, blowtorch);
several heat-shrinkable tubes or electrical tape;
tools for removing decorative panels in the interior;
tester or warning light.

All elements must be correctly connected to each other, and their arrangement must have a certain meaning.

The processor unit is installed in a protected place where the hijacker cannot reach.
The antenna is mounted away from metal parts that create interference, but at the highest point of the car body.
The LED is installed in a visible place to make it easy to determine the current state of the system.
The sound alarm is located under the hood, away from sources of high temperatures, to avoid melting.
The door and luggage compartment ends must be located in places inaccessible to moisture to ensure their serviceability and the absence of corrosion or short circuits.
The shock sensor is placed near the front pillar, in a place with easy access (to make adjustments if necessary).
All wire connections must be properly insulated.
The service key is hidden in a hidden place.

How to install

Algorithm for installation and connection of the complex:

The included head unit is located deep in the dashboard, the unit is attached to the metal frame with screws or adhesive tape. The signal receiver is placed on the windshield (outside the viewing area), the patch cord is laid at a distance from the standard vehicle wiring.
A siren (purchased separately) is used to provide signals; the unit is located in the engine compartment. A shock sensor is located in the cabin (the device is adjusted after connecting the circuits and during operation of the alarm). If the set has a separate status LED, then the element is placed on the top cover of the instrument panel or the lining of the pillar.
Find a place to install a secret switch so that the driver has unhindered access to the device. If installation of additional limit switches is required, they are placed in a dry place.
The head harness is connected to the power circuits, additional cords are connected to the siren and backlight control unit. The switching diagram is given in the accompanying documentation.
Connect the central locking control relay (taking into account the design features of the vehicle).
Connect additional connectors and then program operating parameters.

How to set it to warm up hourly?

The Tomahawk TZ 7010 model is not equipped with remote start of the power plant as standard. You can tell whether a particular car has this option or not by the presence of a temperature sensor installed directly on the engine.

If this option is present, to remotely start at specified intervals, you need to press and hold the open lock button until the beep sounds, and then briefly click on the closed lock button. The car will make five beeps and a clock icon will appear on the screen. Deactivation is performed in the same way - by long pressing the key with the open lock and short clicking the button with the closed one.

How to view the temperature

The Tomahawk TW-7010 alarm system has a remote status polling function. To activate it, you need to press the button once with the trunk open. After this, the car will blink its headlights three times, confirming the command has been received, and the display will display data on the temperature in the cabin and information about the operation of the security system. As a setting, it is proposed to determine the unit of measurement (F or C) - this is done through the programming menu.

Also, when installing an additional engine temperature sensor (connected through the orange-gray wire and the hood limit switch), you can request information about the engine temperature. This operation is performed by the key with the car hood open.

The system is buggy

If problems arise with the Tomahawk TZ 7010 alarm system, you can fix some problems yourself:

The car has trouble seeing the key fob. There may be sources of interference nearby or you need to replace the battery in the remote control and check the battery charge;
the system is buggy. Often, rolling back to earlier firmware versions and resetting to factory settings helps;
The central locking does not work or opens on its own. The serviceability of the limit switches should be checked;
Frequent alarm sounds indicate the need to adjust the shock sensor.

Complex problems are best solved in a service center, where qualified technicians will do the work.

Advantages and disadvantages

Advantages of Tomahawk 7010:

Effective protection thanks to the use of interactive signal coding. According to reviews, consumers do not encounter the problem of electronic hacking.
The presence of feedback provides the ability to constantly monitor the status of the alarm in real time.
Wide functionality at a relatively low cost. Tomahawk 7010 alarms are characterized by the presence of many useful functions that simplify the use and configuration of systems.
Clear and convenient operating and installation instructions. With the help of service documentation, the consumer has the opportunity to independently install and connect all signaling components. Of course, this will require certain experience and skills. But in their absence, it is quite possible to complete the task yourself.

The main disadvantages of the Tomahawk 7010 include the rapid drainage of the battery in the remote control. When setting up the alarm, as well as intensive use, the battery may discharge. If this happens on the road, where it is impossible to buy a battery, then you will have to control the system using the service mode.

Override button: what is it?

A special service key is called Override and is necessary for emergency situations. With its help, you can configure system parameters, switch to programming mode, deactivate some security functions, and turn off the alarm if the key fob is lost. The location of the button should be known to the owner, but if the installers or the previous owner did not provide this information, it is recommended to check the hidden places:

central tunnel between the front seats;
the inside of the compartments for small items on the door cards;
glove compartment space;
a place near the steering wheel or pedal assembly;
compartment near the interior fuse box under the front panel.

How to turn off the Tomahawk TZ 7010 alarm

If the key fob is lost or the battery is low, the owner can make an emergency shutdown of the car alarm.

The car door opens with a key.
The ignition is turned on within 20 seconds.
The Override button is pressed three times.
The ignition turns off, the car blinks its headlights three times, and the security mode is deactivated.

If the owner uses an individual Pin code, the number of presses must correspond to this number.

Malfunctions Tomahawk 7000

The Tomahawk TW-7000 car alarm system is easy to use and has no serious problems. But sometimes it happens that the system does not work. If the complex is faulty, then some faults can be corrected yourself.

Car alarm does not respond to key fob

In this case, the car owner may not disarm the vehicle. Most often, the problem lies in a dead remote battery. It is necessary to disassemble the pager and change the AAA nutrient element. The reason may be due to a discharged battery. The machine does not transmit the signal correctly to the Tomahawk TW-7000 processor unit. It is also recommended to reduce the distance - perhaps there is a lot of interference nearby and the antenna cannot receive the signal.

Dimensions are constantly blinking

When the car's emergency lights flash, this may indicate a malfunction of the hood switch or damage to the communication module. The last factor is checked using the driver call command.

Tomahawk 7000 alarm does not close the doors

The presence of this problem warns of a breakdown of the door limit switches or a malfunction of the central locking system. All parts should be inspected for corrosion, traces of rust should be removed, and parts should be treated with silicone grease.

How to unblock

If the key fob is lost, the car owner has the opportunity to switch the alarm system to emergency mode and drive away. Instructions on how to disable Tomahawk TV-7000 are described below.

The door opens with a key.
The key is inserted into the lock and the ignition is activated.
The Override button is pressed a certain number of times equal to the individual code.
The alarm goes into emergency mode.

Engine won't start

If the Tomahawk TW-7000 does not allow you to start the car, you need to check the connection of the central unit. The main processor may be faulty. Sometimes rolling back to earlier firmware versions or returning to factory settings helps. For more serious problems, you need to contact service src=»https://daciaclubmd.ru/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/signalizaciya-tw7000-16.jpg» class=»aligncenter» width=»600″ height=» 435″

Car alarm price

Below is a table with the estimated cost of alarm systems in various cities of Russia.

Places	Minimum cost of Tomahawk TZ-7010, rubles
Moscow	From 3990
Saint Petersburg	4050
Ekaterinburg	3800
Volgograd	4200
Samara	4000

Replacing the key fob

It is often necessary to change the remote control when:

loss of the main pager;
key breakage.

It is very difficult to find a worthy alternative, so car owners prefer to replace the alarm completely. The main criteria for choosing a new key fob:

devices with a display allow you to obtain information about the status of the machine, without a screen - only open, close and turn on the sound signal;
use remote controls for identical alarm systems, because it is impossible to reprogram a pager from other companies;
the more functions a device has, the higher its cost;
Finding a keychain for an outdated model is difficult, almost impossible.

You can replace the control module with a Tomahawk 434 MHz by following the steps described below for the X3 model.

Owner reviews

“I’ve been using the Tomahawk alarm system for two years now. Very satisfied in almost all respects. A person I knew told security that it was impossible to hack the system. In terms of functions, it has almost everything, except that autostart would be useful. It doesn’t cause any problems, only the second remote control is covered and doesn’t work, but these are minor things - just in case, I prescribed another main one and I’m not worried about it.”

Gregory, 24 years old:

“Not a bad option for your money. At least it worked well on my car thanks to the CAN bus. During the year of operation there were no complaints. Two comrades also ride with a tomahawk, both are happy. So we can safely recommend it to those who don’t want to spend a lot, but want to get a good alarm.”

Reviews

Victor, 49 years old:

“The system is not bad, I got it from the previous owner. But there is a minus - when in winter I tried to figure out how to enable temperature-based start, it turned out that there was no auto-start. In our climate and in my work, this is not very pleasant. I changed it to a Tomahawk with auto start, now I don’t know any grief. But I chose this manufacturer precisely because for the first six months the Tomahawk TW-7010 did not cause any problems at all - a well-made product.”

Dmitry, 36 years old:

“Good system, intuitive. For me, a person far from this, it was simple. When I lost the remote control, I quickly figured out which ones would be suitable instead, how to record the key fob and set up the alarm system for myself. I was also pleased with the price, so I think it’s a good choice in its price category.”
