Characteristics of car alarm Fighter

Fighter alarms are designed for sound and light informing about an attempt of unauthorized access to the vehicle. In the design of the devices, some details and solutions from the budget versions of the Starline and Tomahawk security systems were used.

Complete set and parameters of the device

The installation kit includes the following components:

• the main processor module combined with the relay unit;
• consoles remote control(two pieces);
• LED with wiring used to control the parameters of the system;
• a set of wires for connecting the main module with additional components;
• wiring harness for connecting the central locking control unit;
• tuning button with wiring;
• an additional external relay used to block the engine start circuits;
• impact force measurement sensor (two-zone, adjustable);
• wiring harness for connecting the sensor;
• Fighter alarm instructions for installation, connection and operation.

An example of a Fighter alarm set

Technical parameters of Fighter alarms:

• operating voltage 12 V;
• allowable supply voltage 9-18 V (the design allows operation for one minute at a supply voltage of 24 V);
• operating current in standby mode - no higher than 15-18 mA (depending on the model);
• the operating temperature of the components installed on the vehicle is from -40 ºС to +85 ºС (the manufacturer allows the processor module to remain operational when heated to +125 ºС for one minute);
• the operating temperature of the control panel is from -10 ºС to +55 ºС.

Embedded in processor unit Relays are designed for switching currents by force:

• siren - 1.5-2.0 A;
• external light signaling- 7.5 A (double output);
• blocking relay control - 0.3 A;
• additional channels - 0.3 A;
• reinforced additional channel - 10 A.

Car alarm functionality

Description of Fighter alarm features:

• blocking unauthorized start of the power unit using contact groups of an additional relay;
• programmable passive blocking of the engine start circuits immediately after turning off the ignition, opening and closing the driver's door;
• protection of the perimeter of doors, hood and trunk;
• protection of the lock and circuits of the ignition system;
• protection according to data from a two-level shock sensor and an additional sensor;
• non-volatile alarm state memory;
• dynamic dialog code KeeLoq®;
• function "Anti-robbery";
• Panic mode;
• the possibility of automatic locking of locks when the ignition is activated;
• automatic reconnection of protection;
• customizable central locking algorithm;
• Fighter alarms with auto start allow you to start and warm up the engine at a distance in automatic mode;
• it is possible to use the standard horn as a siren.

The listed functions may not be available in specific models of Fighter security systems.

High protection efficiency

Fighter alarms use KeeLoq® dynamic code for signal coding and interception protection. Dynamic encryption involves the use of a unique code each time you press the control keys on the remotes. The cipher is changed according to a certain pattern, which is known only to the receiver and transmitter.

The intercepted code cannot be reused, because the next one will be generated for the next command. Dynamic encryption technology has reduced the cost of security systems while maintaining an acceptable level of security.

The dynamic code does not provide a full guarantee against hacking of the security complex.

Comfort control

To control the alarms, key fobs with one-way and two-way communication are used. Two-way communication and display consoles are used in the Revolution system. Depending on the model, the control panels have two, three or four function buttons.

Keychain example

The minimum set of functions controlled by the key fob includes:

• remote control of locks;
• automatic closing of door locks when arming;
• automatic reconnection of the security mode;
• it is possible to silently turn on and off the protection;
• turbo timer.

Affordable installation and connection

The popularity of Fighter alarms is due to the ease of installation available to the average owner. For connection, several wiring harnesses are used, which are connected to the on-board network or to the devices included in the delivery. Setting up a security complex does not require deep knowledge of electronics and car design.

The supplied installation instructions are divided into sections:

• recommendations for the location and installation of components;
• wiring diagram with hints and common wiring connection options.

Varieties and models

At various times, the following systems were sold on the market of the Russian Federation:

• Fighter F-14 (was popular in 2000-04);
• Fighter F-15;
• Fighter F-16 and 16B;
• Fighter F-15 or Stealth;
• Fighter Jet;
• Fighter Revolution (First self-starting model, appeared around 2005).

To date, Fighter alarms are practically not found on Russian market security systems.

Pros and cons of devices

Positive aspects of the systems:

• low cost;
• use of dynamic protection;
• universal settings.

Negative characteristics:

• due to lower prices, key fobs have a weak design;
• no displays;
• most models lack the system auto start engine;
• incomprehensible programming documentation.

The owner of a car with installed security system Fighter, you should remember that the alarm system belongs to the budget segment and you should not expect increased resistance to hacking from it.

Installation Guide

Before starting the installation of the alarm system, it is necessary to unpack the set, check the complete set and the absence of external defects. Then you should study wiring diagram, which will allow you to think through the installation process.

Direct installation consists of the following steps:

1. The processor unit is located discreetly in the car. The preferred mounting location is the dashboard. The unit is mounted at a distance from metal surfaces and regular electronic appliances. For fixing, self-tapping screws are used (there are regular attachment points on the body) or plastic ties. Installation of the product under the hood is strictly prohibited.
2. Position the antenna wire under the panel. The manufacturer prohibits stripping the cable and twisting it into coils, as this leads to a decrease in the range of control panels. The antenna installation line is located at the maximum possible distance from metal parts bodies that can shield the signal.
3. Set indicator diode to convenient location. The owner should see the flashing both while driving and when outside the vehicle. The diode can be mounted in a specially drilled hole. Before drilling, you need to make sure that there are no wiring and control units in this area.
4. Place a service button. The key is hidden, but the user must have easy access to the installation site. When controlling the button, the owner should see the control diode.
5. If the package contains a separate button for turning on the Anti-theft function, then it should be placed near the driver's seat.
6. Install the sensor in the cabin. The manufacturer recommends placing the device on a motor shield or on a central wiring harness. The owner or installer must have access to the sensor mounting location as it contains the sensitivity adjustment potentiometers.
7. Locate the siren in the engine compartment in a place protected from moisture and heat. It is recommended to turn the socket downwards to prevent the accumulation of condensate. The siren is powered from the processor unit or directly from the car battery.
8. Install limit switches under the hood or trunk lids. It is possible to use standard indicators placed in car locks. The installation site of the switches must not be flooded with water.

Wiring diagram

Wiring connection is carried out after the installation work is completed. The standard electrical system of the car must be de-energized beforehand.

It is recommended that you use a multimeter or voltmeter when checking the polarity of the wiring when connecting the Fighter. Using a test lamp can damage electronic components.

General wiring installation sequence:

1. The center connector must be connected first, which is equipped with a block with 8, 10, 12 or 16 pins (depending on the model). Negative power is supplied from the car body. The positive pole is connected to the wiring going to the ignition switch. The standard cable must have a cross section of at least the conductor in the alarm harness. The junction is isolated.
2. Install the 6-pin central locking control harness. The connection depends on the design of the door lock system.
3. Connect the two two-pin connectors of the diode and the service button.
4. Reinstall the sensor block (has four pins). If there is an additional volume sensor, then it is connected to a separate three-pin connector.

User manual

Operation features are considered using the example of Excellent Plus, Jerry and 114 signaling. When using other systems, other control algorithms are possible, which are set out in the instructions.

Purpose of indicators and buttons on the key fob

For the Revolution system with autorun, a key fob is used with a display on which icons are placed:

• 1 — protection is enabled;
• 2 — protection is disabled;
• 3 - quiet mode of operation;
• 4 - informing the owner with a vibration signal;
• 5 - actuation of the first stage of sensitivity of the shock sensor;
• 6 - signal from the second stage of the sensor;

• 8 - the state of the battery in the key fob;
• 9 - indication of open doors;
• 10 - the trunk is not locked;
• 11 - the engine is on in autostart mode.

More modern systems Fighter are equipped with color display consoles. An example of such an alarm would be a model 114 equipped with auto start.

Description of the icons on the screen:

• 1 - the key fob works for signal transmission;
• 2 - receiving a feedback signal from the car, if the icon is blinking, then the signal is not received;
• 3 — four-digit field for displaying the clock or alarm clock/timer (the key fob uses a 12-hour time format);
• 4 - closing and opening locks;
• 5 - indication of the included protection;
• 6 - indication of disabled protection;
• 7 - key lock enabled;
• 8 - everyday autostart;
• 9 - battery saving mode;
• 10 - parking timer;
• 11 - periodically repeating start;
• 12 - running engine;
• 13 - charge level;
• 14 - activation of the warning zone of the sensor;
• 15 - actuation of the main zone of the shock sensor;
• 16 - the doorway is open;
• 17 - the hood is open;
• 18 - the trunk is open;
• 19 - active ignition;
• 20 - external light signaling;
• 21 - security with sound;
• 22 - vibrating alert on a keychain;
• 23 - reservation of automatic start on auto with mechanical box gear;
• 24 - call the owner;
• 25 - setting.

The location of the buttons on the key fob of the Fighter Jerry system

Jerry's alarm goes off at emergency mode service button:

1. Press and hold the setting key for three seconds. The hold is performed until the sound signal is given. After that, the diode will switch to the fast flashing mode, indicating the possibility and necessity of closing the doors. If all doors are locked, then at least one of them must be opened and closed.
2. After the last limit switch has been closed, the system will give a delay of three seconds and block the locks.

If the auto-arming service is enabled, it will be activated half a minute after the ignition is turned off and the driver's door opens and closes cycling. Before the expiration of the time interval, the diode is in the warning flashing mode with a frequency of once every three seconds. If you open the door or trunk, then the countdown is interrupted for the duration of the opening of the limit switch in the lock. After the circuit is restored, the countdown continues. Cancel automatic switch on possible activation of the ignition circuit.

If, upon arming, the system detects an open limit switch, then the faulty sensor is excluded from the circuit. In this case, the owner receives a message in the form of a triple activation of the light and sound indication.

Disable security

To disable, use a short press on the button with an open lock icon. Door locks are unlocked, the light and sound alarm is triggered twice. The indicator diode starts flashing after three seconds, indicating the active reset mode. If at least one limit switch is opened, auto-arming will be disabled. If opening does not occur, after 30 seconds the system will block the locks and switch back to armed mode.

In case of loss or damage of radio transmitting control devices, it is possible to disable the protection by entering a code consisting of two digits. The value can be in the range 11-99, the factory default is 24 or 11 (depending on the model).

Procedure emergency shutdown:

1. Unlock the door. After opening the limit switch, the alarm will turn on.
2. Get behind the wheel and, without closing the doors, turn on / off the ignition circuits three times. After the third time, the ignition should remain working.
3. Wait for the indicator to turn on continuously. The alarms must stop. After that, you can turn off the ignition, the diode will go into slow flashing mode.
4. Start counting flashes. After passing the number of flashes corresponding to the first digit secret code, turn on the ignition. The diode will go into continuous mode.
5. Switch off the ignition again and count the flashes corresponding to the second number.
6. Turn the ignition on and off. The system is deactivated.

The code input mode is interrupted:

• entering the correct value;
• closing the door or triggering the open door limit switch;
• after 10 seconds of the system being in standby mode (after turning off the ignition, p. 3).

The owner of a car with the Fighter Excellent system should remember that key fob control does not work in the password entry mode.

Code change

The factory value on Fighter Excellent can be changed by the owner according to the algorithm:

1. Open the door, leave it unlocked.
2. Switch the ignition on and off seven times. Leave the key in the "on" position. Wait for the emergency flasher to flash (should pass within two seconds after the last ignition was turned on).
3. The owner will have three seconds to press the button marked "asterisk" on the remote control. The inclusion of programming is indicated by a triple light signaling.
4. Enter the value of the first digit by pressing the arming button. This must be done no later than three seconds after the flashing of the emergency flasher is turned off.
5. Program the second number by pressing the disarm button. Each pressing is accompanied by the work of external light indication.
6. Turn off the ignition and close the door switch. Pause until the confirmation of the password entry is turned on (triple operation of turn direction indicators).

On Fighter Jerry, the code is entered differently:

1. With the security disabled, switch the ignition key according to the on-off-on algorithm.
2. The owner has ten seconds to start entering the first code value. The entry is made by pressing the settings button.
3. Enter the second number similarly to paragraph 2.
4. Repeat step 3. When a correct value is entered, a short beep will sound.
5. After that, within five seconds, you need to turn off the ignition and proceed with the procedure for entering a new code.
6. Programming is entered by pressing the service button five times. After that, the system should give a short and long beep.
7. After beeps, within five seconds, press the arming button on the key fob. An additional beep will sound to confirm that the system is ready to enter a number.
8. Enter the first value by pressing the service button. You have 10 seconds to enter, the number is in the range 1-9. The use of the number 3 is not recommended. The input will be confirmed by sound signals, the number of which corresponds to the programmed number.
9. Press the disarm button to proceed to programming the second number.
10. Wait for a double beep and enter the value by analogy with step 9.
11. Switch off the ignition to complete the procedure. A short beep and a long beep will sound to confirm that programming has been completed correctly. If there is no signal, then it is necessary to turn the security on and off by pressing the corresponding buttons, and then repeat the programming procedure.

Sensor management

The sensors are equipped with two shock sensitivity zones, which can be switched off using a key fob. Activation is performed by pressing the button marked with an asterisk. Pressing is made no later than three seconds after the activation of the protection.

Control algorithm:

• single pressing - deactivates the first zone;
• double - complete shutdown of the sensor;
• triple - return to normal sensor operation.

Pressing the button is accompanied by a light signal indication that allows the owner to control the state of the sensor.

System operation in alarm mode

The alarm is activated when:

• detection of opening of limit switches;
• signal from the second sensor zone;
• connecting ignition circuits;
• loss of voltage in the on-board network.

The alarm mode is activated for 30 seconds, during which time the siren sounds and the external light alarm flashes. When a permanently open limit switch is detected or when the ignition is on, the alarm cycles are repeated no more than three times. Thus, the total alarm time cannot be more than 90 seconds. Deactivation is done by pressing the mute or mute button for the siren. The vehicle remains protected.

If the complex detects the receipt of data from the warning zone of the sensors, then an alarm signal is given, which is a five-time light and sound indication.

Additional services

Under additional services means anti-robbery, panic, and other possibilities. To activate panic, you need to press and hold the security button for two seconds with the ignition off. Alarms are given for 30 seconds, can be interrupted ahead of schedule by the system shutdown or siren sound buttons. The anti-robbery function is activated by pressing the star button for three seconds. The activation condition is a working ignition system.

Anti-robbery algorithm:

• waiting period (40 seconds), during which no changes in the alarm operation occur;
• submission of warning short beeps beep (lasts 20 seconds);
• full alarm and blocking of engine operation (4 minutes lasts);
• disabling the audible alarm and maintaining the lock.

When anti-robbery is enabled on the Excellent system, key fobs cannot be controlled. Deactivation of the full alarm and blocking mode is only possible by entering an emergency code.

When programming the complex, it is possible to enable the automatic locking function, which blocks the locks five seconds after the ignition is activated. Unlocking is carried out automatically, immediately after switching off the ignition.

It is possible to set up a passive engine start block, which is activated within 30 seconds after the ignition is turned off and the opening and closing cycle of the limit switch in the driver's door is completed. If at this moment you try to turn on the ignition, the system will go into the supply mode alarms. The unit can be disabled by pressing the security deactivation button.

Automatic start (for some models)

Before using autorun on the Revolution complex, it is required to install a software neutral that ensures the safety of the engine without driver control.

Installation procedure:

1. Raise the handbrake lever while the power unit is running.
2. Press the third button on the remote control, after which two signals will be given by light and sound devices.
3. Turn the key in the ignition lock and remove. The motor must not stall.
4. After the owner gets out of the car and closes the door, the engine will stop. Stopping the engine is a signal that the security complex is ready for autostart.

Autorun is only possible in remote mode:

1. Press the remote start button on the key fob and hold it for three seconds. The system will signal with a single beep and start the start-up procedure.
2. After turning on the ignition, the crankshaft is rotated by the starter. A total of four scrolling attempts are allowed. If autostart is installed on a diesel engine, there is a seven second pause between turning on the ignition and cranking the starter to warm up the glow plugs to facilitate starting at low temperatures.
3. After successful launch the icon of the running motor is activated on the screen, which will run for 7 or 15 minutes (depending on the preset). If an early stop is needed, it is done by pressing the start button again.

When starting the start procedure, Revolution polls the parking brake limit switch. If the lever is not raised, then autostart will not turn on.

The Fighter 114 complex allows launching periodically or daily at the appointed time. Periodic start is possible every 1, 2 or 3 hours. Daily - set by setting the alarm on the keychain.

Setting up remotes

Due to use dynamic code control panels may become out of sync with the processing unit. Often this happens as a result of repeated button presses out of range. To restore synchronization, you need to approach the car and press any button twice within one second. In most cases, the key fob's connection with the system is restored.

Fighter Excellent Plus

Programming the key fob code on the Fighter Excellent Plus system is as follows:

1. Open the door, get behind the wheel. The door should not be closed behind you.
2. Turn the key in the ignition lock seven times from the off position to the on position. After the seventh switch, the ignition must remain active. If the procedure is carried out correctly, the system will give a light signal to the emergency gang (turns on three seconds after the end of manipulations with the lock).
3. Press the on or off buttons on the programmable remote control. Upon successful recording, a triple flash of light signaling is given.
4. Carry out the same procedure for the rest of the remotes. In total, it is possible to record three key fobs.
5. To exit the recording mode, just turn off the ignition and slam the driver's door.

If the owner has lost the Fighter Excellent Plus alarm key fob, then it can be deleted from memory by re-programming the remaining control panel.

The Fighter alarm firmware is demonstrated by the author of the video, Andrei Borisov.

Fighter Jerry

On the Fighter Jerry complex, programming is carried out with the help of entering a code and without it. The procedure is determined by the system settings. Unlike excellent alarms no more than five seconds are given for each step. If the time interval is exceeded, the programming mode is automatically switched off.

Memorization without entering a code:

1. Switch on the ignition circuit.
2. Operate the service button three times. After the third press, the siren should work briefly, confirming the readiness of the processor unit to write codes.
3. Drown and hold the security button on the programmable key fob. The hold is performed until a long beep is given and the diode switches to flashing mode with long pauses.
4. Similarly, memorize the code of the second and other remotes.
5. To complete programming, turn off the ignition or wait eight seconds. The end of the procedure is confirmed by a short and long beep of the siren and turning off the blinking mode of the diode.

If a code entry is required, then the procedure looks different:

1. Turn the ignition on, then off and then on again.
2. By pressing the service button, enter the value of the first number of the code into the processor unit.
3. Turn off and turn on the ignition.
4. Repeat step 2 for the second digit.
5. Repeat step 3. Wait for a sound confirmation that the password was entered correctly.
6. Press the service key three times. After the third press, a long beep should sound.
7. Memorize the first remote control in the same way as programming without a password.
8. Exiting programming also does not differ from the procedure described above.

The Fighter Jerry system has memory for four key fobs. The start of programming means the automatic deletion of all previously recorded remotes.

Revolution

On early models, for example, Revolution, a different recording algorithm is used:

1. With the ignition off, press the service button and hold it for at least five seconds - until the siren gives four short signals.
2. Drown any key on the first programmable remote. Entering the code into memory will be confirmed by a single beep.
3. Similarly, memorize the rest of the key fobs. The entry is confirmed by the corresponding number of signals (from two to four).
4. After recording the fourth key fob, pause for six seconds, necessary to exit the code recording procedure.

What is the price?

Video "Linking a key fob to an alarm"

How to tie a key fob to an alarm is described in a video from Mikhail Auto Instructor.

How to effectively protect your own vehicle from theft without overpaying for unnecessary features and brand? This question is asked by every car enthusiast who makes a choice in favor of one of the security systems on the market today. If the phrase alarm Fighter is not yet familiar to the owner of the car, then the answer to this question has not yet been found.

Fighter car alarm is exactly the product that successfully combines and a high degree protection, and comfortable control, and affordable price. These three components of success make these budget security systems the most attractive option for anyone who is interested in a profitable and useful purchase.

High protection efficiency: secret cipher

Of all possible technologies protection against interception (statistical, interactive, dynamic code) the fighter signaling manufacturers have chosen the latter. And they didn't fail. Keeloq® dynamic cipher, which became the basis of the barrier erected between the movable property of a motorist and an intruder who attempts to steal it, is the most best option, and that's why:

1. "Floating" cipher. Unlike a static code protected by a single password key for all systems of a certain brand, a dynamic code implies a constant update of the cipher with each subsequent transmission of the package (after pressing the key fob button). Even if an attacker can intercept it, he will not be able to use it, since a completely different code unknown to him will be used for the next disarming action.
2. budget element. Unlike the dialog code, which implies a more complex encryption principle and, accordingly, a more costly creation technology, a dynamic code costs several times less. Its use allows you to keep the cost of Fighters at a level accessible to everyone, without sacrificing the quality of the protective properties.

Regardless of the system chosen, whether it be models of the Ex (ex, ex plus) series, F series (f - 35, f - 15, f - 31, f - 28) or stealth fighter S series (107, 111, 109), the machine is always will be reliably protected due to the use of the effective principle of encryption using Keeloq® technology.

Comfortable control: maximum useful options

The concern of the manufacturer is visible not only in competent scheme security, but also in a thoughtful set of functional properties. In fighter alarms (ex, Revolution, F, Jet, stealth fighter S), as a rule, there are no problems with the lack of any mode. Everything that the owner of the car needs is provided for even by the simplest system of this brand.

The basic functional set (for example, the budget model Fighter 104) includes the following options:

1. Automatic door lock. As soon as the keyfob gives a command to arm the car, the doors will close automatically (the same will happen when the ignition is turned on).
2. Remote control. Opening/closing of doors (central locking) and trunk is coordinated using the control panel (alarm key fob).
3. Auto return to armed mode. The mode is activated when, after the protection was canceled, the car doors did not open within a period of half a minute, the system in this case returns the car to the armed mode again.
4. Auto arming. Ten seconds after the car doors are closed (with the ignition already off), the alarm will automatically switch to protection mode.
5. Silent arming/disarming. Changes in system status (off/on) will not be accompanied by sound signals confirming these actions.

More advanced models of the Fighter alarm manufacturer's line (for example, ex plus) boast a longer list of functions, including auto-start of the engine, turbo timer, safe driving, anti-robbery and other very useful options.

Accessible installation and connection: clear diagram

Another captivating factor when choosing Fighter alarms is the ability to quickly and easily install the system on a car with your own hands. Of course, you can use the help of professionals, but their services will double the costs of the motorist.

Detailed instructions included with any Fighter model, along with other elements (the main module is central block, remote control - key fob, shock sensor, Valet service button, LED indicator, siren, wiring harnesses) prompt correct algorithm actions and protect against errors, in particular regarding the following points:

1. Locations of signaling components. The main rule that allows you to hope for the flawless operation of each individual element of the system and for their successful interaction says: you cannot place the system components in places that are unsafe for them (near heating parts, assemblies, devices that create radio interference, in areas where there is a risk of moisture getting inside parts where it is not protected from mechanical impact).
2. Element connections. A clear wiring diagram of the Fighter alarms, presented in the form of an illustration that facilitates perception, leaves no chance for error. Everything is simple, clear and accessible. Understand this issue by the strength of anyone who can read (special skills for self installation Fortunately, Fighter alarms are not required, it is enough to be able to carefully study the materials and not be afraid to apply the acquired knowledge in practice).

System setup: easy

Of course, you need to start with the “registration” of the Fighter alarm control panel. Walkthrough according to the binding of the key fob, each specific model has its own characteristics. For comparison, we describe this process on the example of two popular models:

1. Fighter F-31. Procedure:
   • (turn the ignition on and off twice, then press the Valet button and hold it, a long alarm signal will notify you that the system is ready);
   • keyfob recording (press any button on the keyfob, one short beep means that the remote control has been successfully memorized by the system).
2. Fighter F-14. Applied scheme:
   • switch to programming mode(we turn the ignition on and off 7 times, one flash of light and the activation of the status indicator will notify the readiness of the system);
   • key fob recording (press the left key fob button, the alarm will confirm identification with three short light signals).

The last stage of the key fob binding process unites all the Fighter alarms: to record additional key fob, repeat the last action as many times as the number of remote control is supposed to be registered in the system memory.

There are situations when the owner vehicle the question arises: how to determine the model by the key fob (in most cases, after buying a used car with an alarm already installed on it). The answers are to be found on the World Wide Web. It is there that there is all the necessary information related to the topic: how to recognize the model by the key fob (alarm Panther, Starline, Tomahawk, Fighter and others can be easily recognized using their control panel, this is not a problem).

As for programming functions and modes, this action is not much different from binding a key fob. The instruction manual gives clear instructions that you just need to follow and then everything will work out!

Information for thought

Despite the fact that Fighter alarms belong to economy class security systems, they are quite capable of competing with more expensive brands not only in terms of security, but also in terms of functionality.

Interesting comparisons:

1. StarLine. Model fighter f 14(like most other systems of the F series) can be safely called a simplified version of Starline v9. It can also offer a silent security mode, and automatic unlocking / locking of doors, and security modes (panic, anti-robbery), and passive engine blocking, and other protective and service functions useful to the user. Yes, it loses a little in terms of optional equipment (no feedback, no possibility of working with a GSM and / or GPS module), but it takes its toll due to its attractive price.
2. Tomahawk. stealth alarm fighter(S - 111, for example) already having in its arsenal minimum set necessary functions, involves the installation and additional elements, in particular a pager, a remote control module for starting the engine, position and volume sensors, which greatly expand its capabilities and degree of comfort. Exactly the same "additional equipment" is recommended for such a popular alarm model as the Tomahawk TW-7010 (which, it should be noted, is more expensive).

You can draw analogies with other products famous brands(Pantera, Mongoose, Pandora, A.P.S., Alligator, Pharaon and others), but the conclusion is always clear: more expensive does not mean better.

Fighter alarms may not yet boast of worldwide fame, but they are quite capable of satisfying the needs of those who appreciate practicality and reliability for little money! And there are many such motorists in our country!

There is no way to constantly keep the car in sight? Modern security systems can help with this. It's no secret that even the most simple alarm deters most intruders. And if we are talking about powerful devices, then the risk of theft is minimized. Few systems managed to gain a foothold in the markets of the CIS countries. One of them is the Fighter alarm.

Advantages and disadvantages

Huge popularity among the population trademark Fighter won with the help of the minimum cost of goods. It is safe to say that the company is considered the best manufacturer budget type alarms.

Despite the low cost, each model is equipped with the maximum number useful features and opportunities. With the help of the instructions, it is possible to create optimal conditions work. The alarm is very easy to adapt to many household tasks.

The degree of protection against signal interceptions on high level. This can be envied by competitors not only of the budget group. Thanks to the unique encoding, it is almost impossible to take control of the security system.

Let's summarize positive traits products. They became:

• low cost;
• flexible setup system;
• a large set of functions and programs;
• signal security.

High savings were reflected in the quality of the most elementary parts. Take, at least, the same keychain. It has virtually no protection from environmental factors. At the same time, the quality of the signaling components located on board the car does not cause such harsh criticism.

Another side of savings is minimalism and all sorts of inconveniences. Setting up the alarm without instructions is almost impossible. The abundance of commands, divided mainly into 2 and 4 buttons, is significant. You will also have to remember the combinations of the given signals and their meaning, when it comes to two-way communication with a car.

Many models from the production range do not have a key fob display, which makes operation very difficult. But it's not that critical. If there is any danger, the system will let you know about it. And what happened there - you can already figure it out on the spot.

Let's summarize what has been said. Among the shortcomings identified the following.

To date, the range of anti-theft automotive systems on the market is simply huge. Each buyer can purchase a signaling system in accordance with their financial capabilities and needs, but big choice can simply confuse the consumer. In this article we will talk about what the Fighter alarm is, what models can be found on sale and what disadvantages are typical for such alarms.

Pros and cons of devices

Now we suggest that you familiarize yourself with the advantages and disadvantages of Fighter alarms. The cost of such systems is not particularly high, but despite this, almost every model is characterized by extensive functionality. Using the instructions, each user will be able to adjust this alarm for themselves.

So the benefits:

1. Affordable price.
2. Ease of system setup. All functions can be configured by the driver using the remote control.
3. Huge functionality.
4. High degree of protection against signal interceptions. It should be noted that premium signaling models can envy such security. The developers used a unique coding when developing systems, which helps prevent possible interception of impulses (the author of the shock sensor setup video is the Michael MNS channel).

Now check out the main disadvantages:

1. Due to the fact that the developer saved in the production of alarms, the quality of the constituent elements suffered. For example, the control panel - this device is not protected from various environmental influences. So elementary exposure to moisture or even a minor fall can destroy the key fob. Although the quality of the components of the anti-theft system that are installed on board is quite high and does not cause such complaints.
2. In addition, the savings have led to various set-up inconveniences. It's not that setting up the system is difficult, but without an instruction manual, this task will be almost impossible to complete. In each model - an abundance of different commands, which are divided among themselves into 2 and 4 buttons. So in order to perform a particular function, you will have to remember all combinations of the applied pulses, as well as their meaning.
3. Some models of the line come with a key fob without a screen, and this, in turn, makes it much more difficult to use the system, albeit not critically. In the event that a problem occurs, the system will warn about it in any case. But what exactly happened, the car owner will be able to find out already on the spot.

Operation and installation manual

A few points to consider when installing:

1. The control unit is installed in hidden place inside the car. The module must be installed in a place inaccessible to an attacker. That is, places like dashboard in the glove compartment, under the seat, in the radio area - are excluded.
2. During installation, the wire from the antenna adapter must not be protected or twisted. This cable must be extended at least 15 cm in length and laid as far as possible from the metal components of the machine body.
3. In order to prevent an emergency, it is necessary to block only those circuits that do not affect the movement of the vehicle, for example, the starter.
4. Laying the harnesses of the anti-theft installation should be carried out away from the moving elements of the car, sources high temperatures, as well as electromagnetic interference. It is necessary to exclude the possibility of getting fuels and lubricants or other foreign objects on the bundles, the same applies to precipitation, as well as dust. Wires can be protected from possible chafing with the help of additional clamps. When wiring will be laid through the holes, insulating sleeves must also be used.

Photo gallery "Programmable functions"

Let's briefly consider the main nuances of operation on the example of the F-31 model. To disable the shock controller, immediately after activating the protection, press button 1 on the remote control again. In this case, the shock controller will be turned off, but only for one armed cycle, one beep will sound in confirmation. To reduce the duration of the shock controller alarm, after activating the protection, press button 1 twice for three seconds.

How to change programmable features:

1. First, the security mode is activated.

Next, press the service button 2, 4, 6 or 8 times, and the last time you press it, hold it until the corresponding siren signals sound (their number depends on the number of times the button is pressed). After that, one long beep will sound, which means the activation of the programming of options in accordance with the tables above. After that, the button must be released.
4. In accordance with the selected function, it is necessary to press the button on the remote control a certain number of times.
5. Next, again. Three beeps should sound, which means that the programming mode has been activated. It will activate automatically within fifteen seconds if you do not take any action.

How to return anti-theft system to factory settings:

1. First, you must activate and turn off the ignition three times, then leave the key in the off state.
2. Then press the service key 12 times and hold it until the siren gives 6 short beeps. At the end, another, longer signal should be heard.
3. After completing these steps, hold down buttons 2 and 4 on the remote control for at least six seconds. As a result, six short and three longer ones should be heard. sound signal. This will reset all programmed options to factory defaults.
