Varieties

There are 2 modifications of the device mounted on cars:

Self-contained unit equipped with a separate microprocessor. The product is connected via additional channels to a previously installed alarm system or integrated into a standard security system.
A device implemented in software in a security system. A control panel with a display is used for setup and control.

Device selection

Before starting installation, you need to decide on the manufacturer of the turbo timer. The following performed best on the market:

The equipment is also important. For example, by purchasing an alarm system with a Starline or Magicar turbo timer, a car owner can expect to receive:

Control block;
a display that displays the time before the engine turns off and helps to configure the turbo timer;

Most turbo timers are installed under the dashboard. This is done not only for aesthetic purposes, but also to hide the device from prying eyes, since it has an alarm function. If there is a pre-installed security system, this criterion is not so relevant.

Principle of operation

The turbo timer provides support for the operation of a gasoline or diesel car engine at idle speed after removing the key from the lock. The reduced rotation speed ensures a smooth decrease in the temperature of the turbine housing and exhaust manifold, increasing the service life of the unit. Additional cooling is provided by circulating liquid. The owner of the car sets the operating time of the power plant during setup. After the timer is reset, the engine is turned off, and the ignition support circuits are included in the security zone.

Feasibility of installation

It is most advisable to install a turbo timer in the following cases:

A turbocharged diesel engine is installed in an all-terrain vehicle, primarily used in off-road applications. The operating mode is predominantly harsh. Often you have to drive with the maximum permissible load and with no cooling by the oncoming air flow;
The decision to install a turbine on an atmospheric engine was made independently.

Installing a turbo timer seems less relevant in the following cases:

Gasoline or diesel engines are used in a gentle mode. Movement occurs mainly around the city. The driving style is far from dynamic. Before stopping, the speed rarely exceeds 2000. The power plant uses high-quality oil;
The car already has a car alarm with a turbo timer, for example, Starline. Installing an additional device will be unnecessary;
The car is under warranty and installing additional equipment will lead to its loss. In this case, you need to get advice from a car dealership about the possibility of installing the device.

Whether to install a turbo timer or not is a personal matter for the owner. Much depends not only on the mode of operation of the iron horse, but also on the workload of the car enthusiast. It should be taken into account that even after installation, it is possible to disable the turbo timer, allowing you to use the machine in the previous mode.

How to disable the turbo timer on the Starline A93 alarm system

When installing a Starline on a car equipped with a supercharged engine, the owner needs to know what a turbo timer . The design of the device allows you to adjust the engine operating time without using a key. The driver of the car can forcibly turn off the turbo timer on the Starline A93, since some power plants have electric pumps that maintain coolant circulation after the engine is stopped.

How to setup

To program the engine operating time in turbo timer mode on the A91 alarm system, you must enter the complex setup mode by pressing the special button 6 times. After activating the ignition support circuits, the siren will sound 6 times, indicating that the alarm is ready for configuration. The driver selects the function by pressing the setting button once. After the siren gives a signal and the control diode flashes, the value of the motor operating time is selected, the programmed parameter is shown on the display.

The Starline A93 turbo timer is configured immediately after turning on the “turbo” icon; short presses on the red key allow you to change the operating time in a circle. Once the desired parameter has been configured, the value must be written to memory. The process ends automatically if the owner does not operate the buttons for 4 seconds. Forced recording is allowed by holding down the round button on the remote control. After the beep sounds, the key is released.

Possible problems

If you have problems activating the mode, you need to check the condition of the limit switch under the parking brake lever or button. If an element or wiring harness is damaged, the central unit blocks engine operation after turning the key in the lock. On cars with automatic transmission, turbo timer malfunctions occur when the sensor in the gearbox selector breaks down.

If a generator is used to control the operation of the power unit, it is important to maintain the correct polarity of the signal. In case of erroneous switching, the security system does not provide ignition support at the moment the key is removed from the lock. Problems also arise when the signal in the tachometer sensor circuit is not strong enough.

How to install

When installing equipment of the A91 modification, it is necessary to correctly connect the electrical wiring harness of the complex. The cable, equipped with a pink insulator, serves as an output for bypassing the blocking circuits of the power unit. Then you need to set the engine operating time; the equipment provides ignition support in a time interval from 1 to 6 minutes (depending on the modification of the complex).

On model A93 complexes, it is allowed to use a turbo timer when the automatic engine start function is disabled. To control operation, a machine generator or a signal cable going to the tachometer is used. Then you need to establish positive voltage support at the ignition switch terminals. If the car is equipped with a start button, then a negative control pulse is sent to the device. The parameter is configured by programming the output in plug X3.

How to disable

The car owner turns off the turbo mode by selecting the mode icon on the display using the cursor method. After the turbo timer on the alarm is turned off, the icon with the inscription “turbo” goes off on the screen. The programmed time is stored in the memory of the central unit of the complex, allowing the function to be used when the mode is reactivated. to completely remove the turbo timer from the Starline .

Starting the engine on an alarm clock

When this function is activated, the car engine will automatically start at the specified time. To activate the function, perform the following steps:

The key fob cursor is moved to the icon with the image of a clock and the button is briefly pressed. after which the car emits one light signal, and the key fob emits one melodic sound;
the key fob display shows the time after which the engine will automatically start according to the alarm clock;
after 5 sec. The current time display on the key fob resumes.

The engine autostart function using an alarm clock is activated for one start cycle. The fact that the mode has been successfully enabled is indicated by active icons depicting a clock and a bell on the key fob display.

Starline alarm system: auto start from key fob and automatically

The Starline autostart system provides an option for intelligent engine start, when the alarm system independently selects a frequency for communication between the main unit in the car and the key fob.

Thanks to such features, intercepting a security system signal is almost impossible. This is especially important in urban environments and conditions with high levels of radio interference.

Methods for starting a car’s internal combustion engine:

remote start (warming up the car before driving);
automatic start (periodic starting of the car engine at certain time intervals to maintain the temperature at a given value).

Remote autostart Starline

Before considering how to enable autorun on Starline, you need to pay attention to some features. To correctly configure autorun from the key fob, you must perform the following steps:

move the gearbox lever to the “neutral” position (all gears are disabled);
turn the key in the ignition and remove it from the lock (the car engine is turned off);
close the doors, trunk lid and hood of the car tightly;
turn on the parking brake (handbrake).

Fulfilling all these conditions allows you to start the car’s internal combustion engine remotely. Now let's move on to how to enable autostart on the Starline alarm system. First of all, to set the car in security mode with the “Starline autostart” function enabled, you must perform the following algorithm of actions:

stop the car moving without turning off the ignition (the car engine is running);
move the gear shift lever to the “neutral” position (gears are off);
put the car on the handbrake (parking brake on);
Press button “1” on the key fob and hold it for 3 seconds until a melodic sound signal appears;
turn the key in the ignition switch and remove it from the lock (the car engine does not stall);
when leaving the car, make sure that the doors, luggage compartment and hood are closed tightly;
if everything is done correctly, the alarm will turn off the engine and lock the car doors (security mode is on).

So, remote autostart on Starline is available with proper preparation of the car. Following the entire algorithm described above, the car can be started from the key fob in different ways:

the first method is to press button “1” and hold it for 3 seconds until a sound signal appears and quickly press button “3”;
the second method is to select the “START” icon and press button “2” (relevant for periodically warming up the engine in the winter).

Due to the actions taken with the key fob:

the alarm makes the first attempt to start the car engine;
if the car engine does not start on the first try, the alarm makes a second, third or fourth attempt (the starter operating time increases by 0.2 seconds each time);
if the car engine does not start after the fourth attempt, the key fob will sound four beeps;
if the engine starts, the “exhaust gases” icon will be displayed on the key fob display (this icon may differ on different Starline models) and the car’s dimensions will blink three times, accompanied by a siren signal;
warming up of the vehicle's internal combustion engine will be carried out in accordance with the time interval preset in the settings (5, 10, 15 minutes, etc.);
one minute before the end of the specified time period, the “r01” icon will appear on the key fob display. If the time is up, the alarm turns off the engine and the “exhaust gases” icon on the key fob display changes to the “r00” icon.

Autostart Starline by temperature

In the winter season, many motorists need to warm up their car at night. When setting up autostart based on temperature, it is necessary to take into account some points: the presence of a temperature sensor, the location of the sensor, etc.

The sequence of actions for turning on and off automatic start by temperature:

Having selected the icon with a thermometer and the inscription “START”, press button “2” on the key fob (after a sound signal, the value of the set temperature threshold is displayed on the display);
When you turn off autostart based on temperature, you need to select the thermometer icon on the display and press the “2” button on the key fob.

Once inside the car, you must turn on the ignition within 30 seconds, insert the key into the lock and turn it. To completely exit the autostart mode, you must release the handbrake, while the vehicle's dimensions will blink once, after which a sound signal will sound.
