Excalibur car alarm and instructions for use. Typical interior lighting scheme with negative polarity

The capabilities of Excalibur 900jx are quite typical and inherent in many other alarm systems. Excalibur 900jx monitors the condition of the doors, hood and trunk of the car, and is also equipped with a two-threshold shock sensor. It is possible to equip with a microwave scanner.
The alarm is controlled by a code key fob at a distance. Excalibur 900jx is protected from the selection and interception of code from the air by the technology of "jumping codes".
It is possible to control the central locking of the car. The key fob can also control two additional devices in the car (sunroof, power windows or trunk release).
The alarm system has a 3-stage power failure protection system. The siren included in the kit is self-powered. central block The alarm system is supplied with an autonomous power source which, in case of disconnection of the car battery, is enough for 4 days of alarm operation in standby mode.
The Excalibur 900jx has the ability to disable security functions- garage mode. This allows you to leave the car at the service station without leaving your code key fob to strangers.
For everyday use of the alarm system, one button on the code key fob is enough, with the help of which the security mode is turned on and off.
In a guarded car, the ignition circuit breaks and it cannot be started. Any unauthorized entry when the protection is on leads to an alarm.
When an alarm is triggered, the following occurs:
the siren starts to work;
parking lights flash;
if the doors were opened and closed, the locks are re-locked.
These actions continue for 60 seconds or until the alarm is turned off by the code key fob.
After the end of the cycle, the Excalibur 900jx will arm again if all test points are in the passive state (doors closed, etc.). If a point remains active at the end of the 60 second cycle, the alarm will run for 3 minutes and temporarily remove that point from control.
When the outer zone of the impact sensor is triggered by weak impacts, the system, instead of being fully triggered, gives three signals with a siren, flashes the parking lights and closes the locks. After the outer zone has been actuated five times, this point is excluded from the number of controlled ones.
The Excalibur 900jx is equipped with a HIJACK anti-theft feature that makes it difficult to steal a car even if an intruder has taken possession of the code fob and ignition keys. If this mode is enabled, then every time after the ignition is turned on, anti-theft scheme. In order to use the car, it is necessary to press the secret button after 60 seconds from the moment the ignition is turned on.
In the event that this is not done, at 53 seconds the signaling will be short sound signals reminds you that the hidden button has not been pressed. At 60 seconds, the parking lights start flashing and the siren turns on. The anti-theft function can no longer be turned off by simply pressing a hidden button. At 90 seconds, the Excalibur 900jx will break the ignition circuit and shut off the car's engine. Now the siren and parking lights will work until the battery is completely discharged. The anti-theft function can only be reset by turning off the ignition and pressing the secret button within 5 seconds at the latest.
If the alarm was disarmed, but within 90 seconds the passenger compartment door was not opened and the ignition was not switched on, then the automatic re-arming will occur. In addition, there are a number additional features:
arm and disarm all your cars with one key fob;
set up a number of additional functions;
determine what happened to the car in your absence;
turn off the shock sensor using the key fob;
turn on the "PANIC" mode.

Overview of accessories for the signaling device

ATTENTION! Found a completely simple way to reduce fuel consumption! Don't believe? An auto mechanic with 15 years of experience also did not believe until he tried it. And now he saves 35,000 rubles a year on gasoline!

The main components of the security system are the presence of:

  • Key fob-transmitter to control the system at a distance (DU);
  • Red LED status indicator, which is abbreviated as LED;
  • Pushbutton switch - Easy Valet.

Using the remote control transmitter (remote control)

  1. First of all, it is worth noting that the protection system kit includes two key fobs-transmitters. The codes of these key fobs are entered into the system memory. A maximum of four transmitters can be programmed into the system memory. The surface of the transmitter is covered with three buttons, each of which is responsible for activating a specific algorithm of actions. The button, located in the central part of the key fob, is the largest, is responsible for activation and deactivation guard mode, and control remote mode"Panic" (Panic).
  2. Also on the device you can find two more buttons smaller in size. A small button located on the left is used with a larger button for remote deactivation of system sensors, as well as for activating and disabling the security system in the absence of a warning horn sound (works in silent mode). Also, this button is intended to disable the mode. remote work Jack. A small button located on the left side of the key fob controls the output system of the third channel.
  3. The small button located on the right is used to unlock the lock on the tailgate using the remote control.

The use of a red LED status indicator or LED (short version) allows you to inform the owner of the car about twelve possible states of the security system, and also notifies the criminal that the car is equipped with a reliable security system.

Switch button type EasyValet is designed to activate and deactivate the Valet mode. It is also used to deactivate the system if the key fob is lost or incorrect operation is detected. Another EasyValet pushbutton switch can carry out the process of programming system functions and upgraded transmitters.

It is very important that you read this manual in order for the security system to work correctly in the future. The Excalibur security system will be able to properly secure your vehicle from possible break-ins and thefts.

How does the transmitter itself function?

Process for Automatic Testing of Programmable Transmitters . The greatest vulnerability in the security
car system has system programming. An attacker can enter data into security system, which will negate the protection of the machine. Most factory-type security systems suffer from such a vulnerability. However, during the development of Excalibur, they managed to get rid of such a defect.

It is important to remember that in the forty-eight hour period after the installation of the Excalibur system, the horn will quickly make several short beeps in a row (each lasting approximately two seconds). The LED will start flashing rapidly, taking ninety seconds each time, when the ignition system is turned on. Similar alerts will occur if the operations associated with the programming of updated transmitters have been implemented. With each new time during the ten second time period after activation of the ignition system, red led indicator status will emit flickering highlights, giving information about the number of transmitters that have been programmed to function with the security system that has been integrated into your vehicle.

The dynamic type transmitter code changes continuously to the next digital type code when the transmitter button is pressed. The system is designed in such a way that the probability of using a grabber code to remember and use codes to deactivate the system is practically absent.

System Connector Wiring Diagram


Ground: BLACK wire

The BLACK wire is used to connect to the ground of the main control unit of the security system. It is recommended that this wire be connected BEFORE all other wires in the system are connected, otherwise the main control unit of the system may be damaged.

CONNECTION: Using a soldered or well crimped ring terminal, connect the BLACK wire to the vehicle body using the existing bolts on the vehicle body. It is not recommended to connect directly to the negative terminal of the battery, since the ground wires of the main control unit of the system and the car have different section and various fasteners. In addition, there is a very aggressive environment around the battery that causes corrosion. The place of attachment of the BLACK wire must be thoroughly cleaned from paint, oils and dirt to bare metal. The system must have its own separate ground point. Never connect the system's BLACK wire to other available ground wires or to sheet metal surfaces unless absolutely necessary.

However, in some cases, the only possibility of grounding is to attach the wire to sheet metal surfaces. To securely connect the wire, find the hidden spot where the two sheets of metal overlap are welded together. After making sure that there is space under the sheets, drill a hole of the required diameter. In order to prevent the drill from slipping too deep, it can be wrapped insulating tape. Thoroughly sand the surface to bare metal around the hole to ensure that the terminal makes good contact with the surface. Use a metal brush or sandpaper for this.

Attention! Use safety goggles, because when the drill goes through 2 layers of metal, chips are formed. It is recommended to use an electric screwdriver to tighten the screw.

Note: If the ground connection is poor, the system may find partial ground through wires connected to other circuits, causing system malfunction. For example, when the system is armed, the siren will sound quietly.

Note: When power is applied to the system for the first time, it will trip.

Antenna wire: BLACK THIN wire

Note: The THIN BLACK wire coming out of the main system control box is the antenna wire. Do not connect this wire anywhere, otherwise the range of the transmitters will be significantly reduced or the system will not receive their signals at all.

The antenna wire can be extended to increase the range of the transmitter with an additional 91 cm wire. For maximum transmitter range, route this wire as high and away from metal parts as possible.

System power: RED wire

The RED wire has the following main functions:

  1. Provides +12V power for alarm system operation.
  2. Specifies the voltage drop (if enabled) when any of the electrical devices(for example, interior lighting) when the system is armed. In this case, the system is activated, the siren starts to sound, the parking lights flash and the doors are locked.
  3. When +12V is applied to the RED wire for the first time, the alarm mode is activated. At the same time, the siren starts to sound, the side lights flash and the doors are locked. Note: If the system was placed in Valet mode before the battery was disconnected, the system will not trip. This allows mechanics to safely service the car by disconnecting the battery.
  4. Supplies power +12 V, 7A to the contacts of the built-in electric relay for the control of side lights.

When using the voltage drop detection function, connect the RED wire to the wire on the ignition switch with +12V at all times.

Attention! Avoid the airbag circuit. Since the installer is not in a normal sitting position during work, if the safety system is triggered and the airbag deploys, serious injury can occur to the installer. Use a voltmeter instead of a portable lamp, which also reduces the risk of accidental airbag deployment.

+12V will be present on this wire at all times and at any position of the ignition switch. Another place where +12V is constantly present may be the wire under the fuse box. Never insert a wire past a fuse. It is not recommended to connect directly to the positive battery terminal.

Attention! There may not be a fuse on the ignition lock wire with a constant voltage of +12 V! Be very careful when working with this wire, protect it from short circuits!

If you are about to disconnect the battery, first of all read your Owner's Manual carefully for any warnings or special procedures related to disconnecting the battery. The complexity of modern car engines, on-board computers, and airbags can influence how and for how long the battery should be disconnected, how it should be connected and what to do after it is connected (if, for example, the car has an on-board computer). Also, take a close look at your vehicle's Owner's Manual to see if it lists the fuses in your vehicle. If there is a fuse on the +12V DC wire from the ignition switch, it will be listed on this list.

In many vehicles, the ignition switch wires can be accessed by removing the lower instrument panel or steering column guard. On some cars, mainly manufactured by General Motors and Ford / Lincoln / Mercury, the electrical part of the ignition switch is located at the bottom of the steering column and is connected by a rod to the mechanical part (where the key is inserted). On cars such as Chrysler, Dodge, Plymouth, etc., the electrical and mechanical parts are connected together and are located at the top of the steering column, so on these cars it is necessary to remove protective cover steering column. This joint must be soldered quickly using a heat sink to avoid heating the wire and damaging the ignition switch.

K + 12 V at the ignition switch: YELLOW wire

YELLOW wire has the following main functions:

With the ignition key in the off position. (on Yellow wire 0V):

  1. The system can be armed, active or passive.
  2. Valet mode can be enabled if the system is disarmed.
  3. The Easy Valet pushbutton switch will not disarm the system if the system is armed or in alarm.
  4. After the ignition is turned off, the system will automatically unlock car door, if this function is enabled) when all doors are closed.
  5. In Valet mode, when the ignition is turned off, the siren will give one signal.

With the ignition key in the "On" position (There is +12V on the Yellow wire)

  1. Checking the number of programmed transmitters is carried out within 10 seconds after the ignition is switched on.
  2. The system cannot be armed, either actively or passively.
  3. The Easy Valet pushbutton switch can be used to disarm the system or disarm the alarm. Need to click Valet switch for 2 seconds within 5 seconds after turning on the ignition.
  4. The memory of previous system triggers is cleared.
  5. The trunk lock can only be opened remotely if one of the doors is open. This prevents the trunk from opening while driving.
  6. When disarmed, the side lights turn on for 30 seconds. If the ignition is switched on during this time, the parking lights will turn off.

Locate the "primary" ignition circuit among the ignition switch wires. There is no voltage on this wire when the ignition key is in the "Lock", "Off" and "Accessory" positions ("Lock", "Off" and "Park") and there is + 12 V when the key is in the "Run" positions " and "Start". After you find this wire, connect the YELLOW wire to it.

Note: If the YELLOW wire is NOT connected to the "primary" ignition circuit, it may cause problems with the automatic arming, locking the doors when the ignition is turned on, and unlocking the doors when the ignition is turned off.

Negative output for starter inhibit: ORANGE wire

The ORANGE wire of the system is connected to the ORANGE wire of the block for the starter relay. The system's ORANGE wire provides a continuous negative 500mA output when the system is armed. This negative output powers one side of the relay coil. The other side of the relay coil receives positive voltage from the ignition switch, but only when the ignition key is turned to the "Start" position. If this happens, power is supplied to the coil, the electric relay is activated and opens the starter circuit. The starter interlock does not allow starting the engine only if the system is armed (or is in an alarm state, i.e. has been triggered) and starts consuming battery power only at the moment of an attempt to start the engine.

In order to block the car's starter circuit, you need to find the starter wire and cut it. It is recommended to do this as close to the ignition switch as possible. Use a voltmeter to find the correct wire, not a portable lamp. This wire goes from the ignition switch to the starter solenoid.

Attention! Avoid the airbag circuit! Use of a portable circuit test lamp may cause the air bag to inflate and cause injury! A portable lamp can also disable an expensive on-board computer and related sensors.

The starter wire will only have +12 volts when the ignition key is turned to the "Start" position. Cut this wire into convenient location. Check if the wire is correct by attempting to start the engine. The starter should not turn on. Now that the wire has been cut, there are two ends: one end wire goes on the ignition switch side, and the second on the starter solenoid side.

Connect the RED wire of the starter relay block to the end of the wire on the ignition switch side and its WHITE wire to the end on the solenoid side. Make sure the connections are secure - these wires carry a lot of current. Connect the ORANGE wire of the system to the ORANGE wire of the starter block.

Note: Shorting the ORANGE wire directly to +12V or more than 500mA will damage the system.

Connecting the starter blocking block and one electric relay

Output for trunk lock control: GRAY wire

The GRAY wire shorts to ground for 1 second (250 mA maximum current) when you press and hold the Small Right button on the transmitter for 2 seconds (the siren will beep twice to acknowledge) or will remain shorted to ground as long as you hold the Small Right button on the transmitter transmitter in the pressed position (until the transmitter's battery save function turns it off). Usually this output is used for remote opening of the lock.

Connecting an additional electric relay to the trunk lock

When opening the trunk, the alarm will also be automatically disarmed - you will hear 2 siren signals, the doors will be unlocked and the parking lights of the car will turn on for 30 seconds or until the door is opened or the ignition is turned on, if this happens earlier.

Note: The remote trunk release function will always work when the ignition is off. If the ignition is on, this function will ONLY work if one of the vehicle's doors is also open. This prevents the trunk or tailgate from opening while driving.

In the event that a current of more than 250 mA is used to control the lock, or if the trunk lock is unlocked by a +12V pulse, then an additional electric relay must be installed. Connect the GRAY wire to terminal 86 of the additional electric relay, and apply +12V DC voltage to terminal 85 of the electric relay. Connect contacts 87, 87A and 30 of the electric relay as shown in the diagram.

Siren positive output: BROWN wire

BROWN wire is a positive 12V output. This is a fixed output to turn on the siren when the system is triggered.

Attention! Shorting the BROWN wire to ground without load will damage the main unit of the system.

CONNECTION: The BROWN wire is connected directly to the RED wire of the siren, and the BLACK wire of the siren is connected to ground.

Note: To increase the volume of the siren confirmation tones, cut the BLACK loop on the siren.

Install the siren in the engine compartment, as far away from hot parts as possible (eg exhaust pipes). This place should be inaccessible to water spray, inaccessible to intruders and provide good audibility to the siren. There is not much space in modern cars. Try installing the siren behind a decorative grille or bumper. Its bell should be directed downwards to avoid the accumulation of moisture in it. Carefully route the siren wires through the bulkhead. Use a rubber bushing for this.

Position light positive output: WHITE wire

The WHITE wire is the +12V, 7A positive output that provides flashing parking lights when giving confirmation signals and when the system is triggered. In addition, the parking lights turn on for 30 seconds (60 seconds can be programmed) when the system is disarmed and illuminate the path to the vehicle, which increases your safety at night.

CONNECTION: Connect the WHITE wire directly to the +12V wire in the parking light circuit. This wire can usually be found on the headlight switch, on the fuse box, or on the wiring harness to the tail lights, under the trim to the left of the pedals. This wire will have +12 volts when the switch is in the "Parking light" and "Head light" positions. When you find this wire, make sure there is no rheostat on this wire. To check, turn the rheostat knob for controlling the brightness of the instrument backlight on the control panel. On the wire you need, the voltage must remain constant (+ 12V).

Connection options WHITE wire

Attention! NEVER attempt to connect a WHITE wire to a rheostat wire! will happen Feedback through a rheostat or lighting control unit and this may cause a malfunction in the vehicle or in the main control unit of the system. Also, a direct short to ground on the WHITE wire without a 10A fuse could damage the system.

Most European-made cars have separate right and left side light circuits. If the right and left marker lights are on different circuits, then two diodes (6 to 10 A) or two electric relays must be used to connect the WHITE wire to both circuits. The diagram below shows the connection using diodes.

Connection to left and right parking lights with two diodes

Note: It is not recommended to connect headlights instead of marker lights. Halogen lamps in modern cars are not designed to quickly turn on and off. When they are connected, the life of the lamps is significantly reduced. If you still need to connect headlights for flashing, you must use an additional electric relay, because the current of the headlights exceeds the 7 amps allowed by the built-in electric relays. If you want to connect both headlights and parking lights, use two electrical relays. One relay will supply power to the headlights, and the other to the position lights. For any connection requiring a current greater than 7A, an additional electrical relay must be used.

Negative door trigger: GREEN wire

The GREEN wire is the negative door trigger for vehicles with negative door switches.

GREEN wire functions:

  1. If the system is armed, shorting the GREEN wire to ground when the door is opened will cause the system to instantly activate - the siren will turn on, the side lights will flash and the doors will lock.
  2. When the automatic arming function is enabled, after the ignition is turned off and all doors are closed, the countdown of the time before arming will begin. Closing of the last door is confirmed by a siren chime, flashing side lights and rapid flashing of the LED. 30 seconds after the last door is closed, the siren will give another chirp, the parking lights will flash one more time and the LED will start flashing slowly to confirm that the system is armed.
  3. When the system is disarmed, the parking lights will turn on. If one of the doors is opened at this time, the parking lights will go out after 10 seconds. Note: If the auto-arming function is enabled, closing the door will begin the countdown before arming.
  4. If the function of locking the doors when the ignition is turned on and unlocking the doors when it is turned off is enabled, then if one of the doors is open when the ignition is turned on, the doors will not be automatically locked, and if the door was opened when the ignition was turned off, they will not be automatically unlocked.
  5. If the GREEN wire is shorted to ground (when one of the doors is opened or if there is a malfunction in this circuit) during the 90 second countdown before re-arming the system or during the 30 second countdown of auto-arming, then the countdown will be stopped and restarted only after the GREEN wire is disconnected from the ground.

    Note:

  6. If the GREEN wire is shorted to ground when the system is armed with a transmitter, the system will bypass the GREEN wire circuit and leave it unprotected until it is disconnected from ground.
  7. If the system has been triggered by the GREEN wire circuit, the LED will flash 3 times between pauses until the ignition is turned on. The system does not need to be armed again for this feature to work.

CONNECTION: Connect the GREEN wire to the common wire of the vehicle door limit switches. On the "correct" wire for this limit switch system with closed doors there will be a voltage of +12 V, and when any of the doors is opened, the voltage will be 0 V.

Note: If the car has a delay for turning off the interior lights, keep this in mind when looking for the right wire.

Note: If the car has a delay for turning off the interior lighting, you can still arm the system from the transmitter by "bypassing" the GREEN wire circuit. In this case, the system will arm the GREEN wire circuit after the interior lighting is turned off. In the auto-arming mode, the system will arm 30 seconds after the car's interior lighting turns off.

If the limit switch is set to metal surface and interior lighting goes out when it is removed - this means that this system has a negative polarity. If the switch is mounted on plastic, then a negative wire must be present. Typically, limit switches are mounted on the front side of the doorway, but other types of switches can sometimes be used. Some vehicles have slide switches, some have slide switch stems mounted on the rear side of the doorway. In addition, on some vehicles, limit switches are connected either to the outside door handle or to the locking mechanism. This type includes cars in which the interior lighting is turned on when the door handle is opened.

Be careful with cars where there is an isolating diode on each door. This is usually found on those cars where there are door closing indicators on the instrument panel. The wire for connection in such systems should be a common wire, which goes separately to the interior lighting dome.

Typical interior lighting scheme with negative polarity

Positive door trigger: Purple wire

The PURPLE wire is the positive door trigger for vehicles with positive door switches. Functions of the PURPLE wire: identical to the functions of the GREEN wire with one exception: the PURPLE wire is shorted to +12V, not to ground.

Typical interior lighting scheme with positive polarity

CONNECTION: Connect the PURPLE wire to the common wire of the car door limit switches. The "correct" wire for this limit switch system will have 0V when the doors are closed and +12V when either door is opened.

Note: If the car has a delay for turning off the interior lighting, you can still arm the system from the transmitter by "bypassing" the PURPLE wire circuit. In this case, the system will arm the PURPLE wire circuit after the interior lighting is turned off. In the auto-arming mode, the system will arm 30 seconds after the car's interior lighting turns off.

Hood/trunk negative trigger: BLUE wire

The BLUE wire causes the system to immediately trip when a short to ground occurs (i.e. when the hood or trunk is opened). Functions of the BLUE wire:

  1. If the system is armed, shorting the BLUE wire to ground will cause the system to instantly trigger - the siren will turn on, the marker OJHH will start flashing and the doors will lock.
  2. If the BLUE wire is shorted to ground while the system is armed from the transmitter, the system will bypass the BLUE wire circuit and leave it unprotected until it is disconnected from ground.
  3. If the BLUE wire is shorted to ground during the 90 second countdown before re-arming the system or during the 30 second countdown for auto-arming, the timer will stop and will only start again after the BLUE wire is disconnected from ground .

    Note: The 90 second re-arm feature and the auto-arm feature after the last door is closed are interconnected. Enabling the auto-arm feature automatically also enables the re-arm feature after 90 seconds.

  4. If auto-arming is enabled and the BLUE wire is shorted to ground when the last door is closed, auto-arming will not start until the BLUE wire is disconnected from ground.
  5. If the system has been triggered by the BLUE wire circuit, the LED will flash 2 times between pauses until the ignition is turned on.
Connecting the BLUE wire with isolating diodes

CONNECTION: If necessary, to connect the BLUE wire, you must first install the limit switches included in the system kit. If there is a wire from the trunk light switch or a trunk open indicator on dashboard, then the BLUE wire can be connected directly to this circuit if it is a negative polarity circuit. There should be no voltage on such a wire when the hood or trunk is open, and there is + 12V voltage when the hood or trunk is closed.

Do not use mercury switches instead of mechanical limit switches. If the vehicle has a usable trunk or hood circuit, locate the correct wire and connect the BLUE wire to it.

When connecting the BLUE wire to multiple circuits at the same time, it may be necessary to isolate additional circuits with diodes. For example, if you connect the BLUE wire at the same time to limit switch hood and trunk interior light bulb and do not isolate the trunk circuit, the trunk light will turn on every time the hood is opened.

3rd channel output: PINK wire

The PINK wire will short to ground for 1 second (250 mA maximum current) when you press and hold the Small Left Button on the transmitter for 2 seconds, or will remain shorted to ground as long as you hold the Small Left Button on the transmitter depressed (while the function saving the transmitter's battery power will not turn it off). It is usually used to enable additional devices(e.g. remote engine start or power window control). In most cases, an additional electrical relay will be required. When channel 3 is enabled, the system will NOT disarm.

Connecting an additional electrical relay


Output for interior lighting control - two WHITE / BLACK wires

The two WHITE/BLACK wires are for interior lighting control. When the system is disarmed, interior lighting will turn on. This output is identical to the WHITE wire output except that the polarity can be either positive or negative.

CONNECTION: Connect the WHITE/BLACK wire WITHOUT A FUSE to the circuit that turns on the interior lights. The fuse wire is connected to +12 V or ground, depending on which polarity is required to turn on the interior lighting. (See the GREEN or PURPLE wire function description paragraph to determine the interior lighting polarity.)


Multifunction LED indicator (LED) with connector

Mount the red LED in a location where the driver can see inside and out because it serves as a warning to intruders that there is a security system in the car. Optimal location to place it can be either the middle of the instrument panel, or closer to the driver, depending on the type of car.

The LED comes with a bracket that allows it to be installed without drilling holes. The bracket allows the LED to be installed under the instrument panel visor, providing good visibility when daylight. A double-sided adhesive tape is included for this.

If it is necessary to drill a hole to install the LED, it is recommended to do so in one of the accessory hole plugs. If you need to remove the LED in the future, it will be cheaper to buy a new plug than to change the entire panel. Use a 1/8" to 7/16" Unibit adapter for drilling. This is the most accurate way - to drill gradually increasing the hole. If you don't have one, use several 1/8", 1/4", and 3/8" drills. This will prevent cracking of the panel.


Attention! Check if there is enough space behind the plug for the drill. Use a drill bit to avoid deep penetration. After installation, route the wires ending in the red connector to the main system unit and connect it to the red connector on the system unit.

The red status LED visually informs you about the status of the security system at any given time. The system can be in 12 modes:

Checking the number of programmed transmitters: After the ignition is switched on, the LED will flash to show the number of transmitters programmed into the system. For example, two flashes between pauses means that two transmitters are programmed into the system memory, etc. Now, when you give your car and keys to someone, you know that only two transmitters are programmed and no one can steal your car using another transmitter .

Function LED operation mode Meaning
5) One flash and pause One transmitter programmed into the system memory
6) Two flashes and a pause Two transmitters are programmed into the system memory
7) Three flashes and a pause Three transmitters are programmed into the system memory
8) Four flashes and pause Four transmitters are programmed into the system memory

Specifying the zone that triggered the system: After the system has tripped, the LED will flash a certain number of times according to 9-12, depending on which circuit triggered it. This function will continue to work even after the system is disarmed, but only until the ignition is turned on. The system memory can store information about two system activations. The LED will show the zones in the order in which they were triggered.

Easy Valet Pushbutton Switch

Set the pushbutton switch to hidden place accessible to the driver. Use adhesive tape to mount the switch on a flat surface. It is recommended to install the switch in a hidden place, as this will make it more difficult for thieves to operate. Route the wires to the main system box and connect the blue connector to the corresponding blue connector on the system box.

The main functions of the Easy Valet pushbutton switch are to turn on and off the Easy Valet mode when washing or servicing the car, in addition, together with the ignition key, it is used to disarm the system in case of loss or breakdown of the transmitter.

To enable Valet mode, press the pushbutton switch for 2 seconds. You will hear 2 siren sounds, the side lights and interior lights will flash 2 times and the LED will turn solid to confirm that the system is in Valet mode. The system will be in Valet mode regardless of turning the ignition on or off until you turn it off. In Valet mode, using the transmitter, you can control the "panic" mode, door lock, trunk lock, the doors will be locked when the ignition is turned on and unlocked when it is turned off.

Note: When the system is in Valet mode, each time the ignition is turned off, the siren will give one confirmation tone.

To turn off Valet mode, press the Valet button switch, and this mode will turn off instantly. The LED will turn off to confirm that Valet mode is off.

Note: Valet mode is not activated only if the system is armed.

Disarming in case of transmitter loss: In the event that the transmitter is forgotten, lost, damaged or its batteries are exhausted, using the Valet button and the ignition key, the system can be disarmed as follows:

STEP 1: Open the car door (be aware that the system will be activated the moment the door is opened).

STEP 2: Turn on the ignition.

STEP 3: Within 5 seconds, press the Easy Valet button. The siren will instantly turn off, the parking lights will stop flashing, the system will be disarmed and you will be able to start the engine.

Note: The Easy Valet push button switch is also used to program transmitters. This is described in detail in the Transmitter Programming section.

Backup power

Note: Always connect the RED and BLACK alarm power wires first.

Backup battery: This system includes a 9V alkaline (alkaline) battery, a battery case with a bracket for attaching the battery, and a wire for connecting the battery. The 9V alkaline battery provides enough power to keep the system running if the vehicle battery is disconnected. The backup battery will provide the starter lock operation.

Installing a backup battery

Note: When the system is powered by a backup battery, the parking lights will not flash at the time of operation and some other functions will not work.

Replacement 9-volt batteries can be purchased at any store. It is recommended that the alkaline batteries be replaced every 18 months, or after they have been the only source of power for the system for at least some time. At following conditions 9V battery life can be:

  1. 2 days - as the only power source of the system in armed mode.
  2. 25 system operation cycles. The system activation cycle is the 60 second system activation period when the siren sounds and the starter interlock is engaged. After the end of the 60 second cycle, the system automatically re-arms.
  3. 50 arming/disarming operations by the transmitter.
  4. 18 months if the backup circuit is not activated.

Connectors for connecting sensors

There are two sensor connectors on the main unit of the system (sensor is included in the AL-900HX package), which increases the efficiency of the system. A light impact or push of the vehicle will trigger the warning function, and a larger impact will trigger the alarm. It is possible to connect other sensors that detect impacts and shocks, changes in air pressure in the car interior or radar sensors that detect movement inside and near the car. One or both sensors can be temporarily disabled by pressing and holding the transmitter's small left button for 5 seconds while arming the system.

When temporarily disconnecting sensors, keep in mind the following differences when connecting to connectors 1 or 2:

  • The sensor connected to connector 1, located in the corner of the main unit of the system, will turn off both zones;
  • For a sensor connected to connector 2, only the warning zone will be disabled.

Thus, when installing the system, you can choose the most suitable operating mode:

  • If you are using only the sensor supplied with the system, you can connect it to either slot 1 (in which case you will be able to completely disable this sensor from the transmitter) or to slot 2 (in which case only the warning zone will be disabled).
  • If you are using two sensors, the more sensitive sensor is usually connected to connector 1. Thus, when the sensors are temporarily turned off, the more sensitive sensor will be turned off completely, while the less sensitive sensor only the outer zone - the warning zone - will be switched off. This greatly reduces the possibility of the system being triggered when parking in heavy traffic areas. In this case, the inner zone of the sensor will continue to protect the car. The two connectors greatly increase the flexibility to operate the system according to the requirements of the vehicle owner.

If the system has been triggered by a sensor connected to slot 1, the LED will flash 4 times between pauses. If the system has been triggered by a sensor connected to connector 2, the LED will flash 2 times between pauses.

Warning mode: When the warning zone is triggered, the siren will sound three times and the doors will be re-locked. After activating this circuit five times, the warning mode input will automatically turn off until the system is armed again. This is done to avoid excessive noise.

Connector for connecting the electric relay of door locks

This security system has a connector for connecting an electric relay door locks. Through the 4-pin connector located on the control unit, a negative pulse is supplied to lock the doors (external contact), a constant voltage of + 12V is applied only to power the electric relay coils (the second contact after the external contact), a negative pulse to unlock all doors or only the driver's door ( second contact after internal contact) and a second negative pulse for unlocking the doors (internal contact).

The type of connection will depend on the type of electric door locks in the car. Note: The vehicle must be equipped with electric drives. It is recommended to install a DS-2 electric drive on each door. Locks will not work without electric drives.

There are three systems of motorized locks: 3-wire impulse negative polarity, 3-wire impulse positive polarity and 5-wire reverse polarity, shorted to ground in the off state. Other systems are the vacuum operated locks found on most Mercedes-Benz models and the dual voltage single wire locks found on the latest vehicles. It is best to determine the type of lock drive system by wire from the door lock control buttons.

3-wire pulse systems with negative polarity: These systems can be identified by the presence of three wires on the switch. One will always have ground, regardless of whether the switch is in working order or not. Of the two remaining, one will show ground when the switch is in the "Lock" position, and the other will show ground when the switch is in the "Unlock" position. When the switch is at rest, +12V or less is present on these two wires. the electric relay of locks or the control unit with the built-in electric relay is operated by means of switches. The correct connection point is between the switches and the electric relay.

An optional cable (Model DLP-N3) is available for this purpose. Some door lock systems, however, require more than 500 mA (more than allowed). In these cases, it is necessary to use an additional DLS block and two electric relays. To open only the driver's door first, DLS-J must be installed (See below).


Model DLP-N3. 3-pin connector with two wires for 24 inches. Provides a direct connection of the negative outputs of the system to impulse locks with negative polarity, as well as for connecting additional electrical relays.

Three-wire door locks with negative polarity with additional DLS socket and two electric relays

3-wire pulse systems with positive polarity: This system is very similar to the negative 3-wire pulse system, except that the relay or control box is controlled by positive 12V pulses. Check the wires at the switch. One will have +12V at all times regardless of the switch position. Of the two remaining, one will show +12V when the switch is moved to the "Lock" ("closed") position and the other will show +12V when the switch is moved to the Unlock position (open). Since positive impulses are required to control the locks, an additional electric relay must be used.

For this, three additional blocks can be used: model DLP-RZ, DLS and model DLS-3 and one electric relay. The DLS-3 model is described below.

Three-wire door locks with positive polarity with additional block DLP-P3

Model DLP-P3 is a 3-pin connector with a transistorized converter that changes the system's negative pulse signals to positive ones. This makes it possible to connect the security system directly to the car, where the locks are installed, powered by positive impulses. Length 20 inches. For vehicles with these types of systems. This is easier and more efficient than using an electric relay.

The DLS model is a block with two electric relays with a cable and a connector that is connected to the main unit of the system and wires without connectors that are connected to the system wires. This is the most versatile device for connecting locks. Used electric relays: automotive 30 A, unipolar.

3-wire positive door locks with additional DLS block and two electric relays

5-wire reverse polarity systems: This system differs from the first two in that it does not use an electric relay or control unit. In this type of system, positive voltage is supplied directly from the switch to the lock actuators and, more importantly, a return to ground is provided. This locking system requires the use of an additional DLS socket and 2 electric relays. An important point for this type of system is that in the idle position its wires are shorted to ground. This means that these wires must be "open" or cut in order to make connections.


Check wires with reverse side switch. Usually there are 5 wires. One of the wires will have +12V at all times, regardless of the switch position. The two wires will be shorted to ground regardless of the switch position. Of the two remaining, one will show +12V when the switch is turned to the "Lock" position, and the other will show +12V when the switch is turned to the "Unlock" position.

After the necessary wires are found, it is necessary to cut them. Please note that in the diagram, some wires go from the "switch side" - this is the lock switch, and others from the "drive side" - these are the door lock drives. Even if you have to cut between the switches, we are talking about lock switches and drives.

Installation of an additional electric drive and a DLS block with two electric relays

Some vehicles have a door locking system that, when the driver's door is mechanically unlocked and locked, energizes the other door lock switch. There is no drive in the driver's door, only a switch. A feature of such a system is that when the driver's door is unlocked with the key, the other doors are unlocked, but when the passenger's door is opened with the key, the driver's door remains closed.



Vacuum locks on Mercedes cars and an additional block DLS-V and two electric relays

This locking system is used on cars mercedes benz. It has electrical switches (built into the air actuators) that supply +12V or ground to the air pump. These switches operate when locking and unlocking the doors from the inside or with a key outside. The polarity of the switches determines whether the pump will create pressure or vacuum. Since the pump runs for about 3 seconds, the pulse duration must be changed. (Function 6 must be disabled when programming).

The connection can be made either under the trim on the driver's left or directly on the pump, which is located in the trunk or under the rear seat.


Additional pads DLS-3 and 2 or electric relay - opening the driver's door in the first place.

The DLS-3 is a 3 relay socket (3 relays must be used) and is the most versatile attachment that allows the alarm system to perform functions such as locking all doors, unlocking only the driver's door when disarmed and then unlocking all if required. other doors when pressed again within 5 seconds. DLS-3 can be used with two electric relays instead of DLS for unlocking and locking doors.





Programming codes for new transmitters

When adding or removing transmitter codes to control your security system, follow the sequence below:

  1. Turn on the ignition.
  2. Within 5 seconds after turning on the ignition, press the Valet button 5 times. The siren will give one signal, confirming that within the next 10 seconds the system is ready to learn the transmitter codes. With memorization of the code of the first transmitter, all previously entered codes are erased.
  3. Repeat these steps for each transmitter. When memorizing the codes of each transmitter, the system will give one confirmation signal. The codes of other transmitter buttons are automatically memorized when you enter the code for the system disarming/arming button. If the code is not entered within 10 seconds, the system will automatically exit programming mode.

The transmitter's large center button is programmed to disarm/arm the system at the factory. The other two buttons also have different functions, which are detailed in the User's Guide. Any of these three buttons can be programmed to disarm/arm the system. When memorizing the code of the disarming/arming button, the codes of other buttons are memorized automatically in the following order:
