Key features

Description of the capabilities that Fighter anti-theft systems have:

  1. Blocking the engine when trying to illegally start. For this, special contacts are used on the additional relay, which open the electrical circuit of the ignition system.
  2. Protection of the entire body of the vehicle along the perimeter. Alarm provides security door locks, trunk, hood and car body.
  3. Availability of non-volatile memory of the system state. In the event of a power failure and its further activation, the alarm will return to its original state. If dismantling anti-theft complex, then the system will retain the blocking of the power unit.
  4. The presence of two zones of sensitivity of the main controller - warning and alarm.
  5. The presence of the option "Anti-robbery". Using this function, the user can block the power unit in the event of a robbery attack on the car. If the car is stolen, the engine will lock itself after a certain time (usually 30 seconds, user configurable). The delay is provided by the developer so that the attacker leaves the crime scene at a safe distance for the car owner, but is far from able to hide.
  6. Panic function. Its purpose is to force the activation of external light devices and a siren at the command given by the key fob. This is required in order to designate the car as protected and scare away potential criminals from it.
  7. Control of door locks from the ignition system. When the key in the lock is scrolled to the “ACC” position, the locks are locked, in the “Off” mode they are opened.
  8. Automatic arming in case of accidental shutdown. If the deactivation of the protection mode was not performed on purpose, while not a single door in the car was opened, the system will be able to determine this. As a result, there will be automatic switch on protection.
  9. Automatic engine start. The structure of the control unit allows you to configure this function on command from the communicator. Thanks to this, in order to start the engine, the user does not even need to approach the vehicle. It is enough for him to be in the range of the signaling antenna.
  10. The ability to use the standard steering horn for playback alarms. Since the siren is not included in the package, the horn can be used.
  11. Availability of additional channels through which the user can control auxiliary equipment. This refers to the luggage compartment lock, power windows, folding side mirrors and seat adjustment.
  12. Self-diagnosis and determination of the state of structural elements of the alarm system. When arming and disarming, the system checks all connected devices. Information about defective zones is provided to the user in the form of messages and displayed on the communicator screen.
  13. The ability to remotely change the sensitivity and disable the shock sensor. For this, a keychain is used.
  14. Disarming the system in two steps. It is possible to set the alarm so that the door locks are opened first, and then the user enters a special password to unlock it. The personal code can be used for emergency disarming if the key fob has been lost or broken.
  15. Warn the user about unlocked doors in the car, trunk or hood.

Installation instructions

The Fighter alarm installation instruction looks like this:

  1. The installation of a control device with a microprocessor is carried out as discreetly as possible in the passenger compartment; its placement under the hood is not allowed. It is recommended to place the module behind the instrument panel to ensure the minimum length of wires when connecting. The installation site of the unit must be free of electronic devices, as well as moving mechanisms and machine components. For additional protection of the device from moisture and vibration, it can be wrapped with cellophane and foam rubber.
  2. The siren is installed under the hood of the car, away from the cylinder block and metal surfaces adjacent to it. If an autonomous type device is used, then during installation, free access to its keyhole should be ensured. It is recommended to place the appliance with the bell mouth downwards to avoid the possibility of moisture accumulation in it. After installation, you need to make sure that neither the siren nor its wires are accessible from under the bottom of the car.
  3. Mounted on the hood limit switch. Similar devices can be installed on all doors, as well as the luggage compartment. Installation of triggers should not be carried out in drains and places where moisture accumulates. The wires from the limit switches are routed to the microprocessor under decorative upholstery salon.
  4. In the central part of the body there is a touch-sensitive shock controller. It is recommended to install it in the cabin, in particular, on the partition that separates it from the engine compartment. During installation, it is important to provide access to the sensor adjustments located on the housing.
  5. The transceiver module is installed on the instrument panel or on top windshield. The surface of the latter must be cleaned and degreased using a solvent or alcohol. The wire from the transceiver must be laid directly to the control unit, and the cable must not be twisted into coils. This may cause a poor signal, as well as a decrease in the quality of communication.
  6. The button for activating the service mode is hidden in the cabin. It must be installed so that the consumer has access to the device when he is in the driver's seat.
  7. The LED is placed inside the car. Its installation site should be clearly visible from the street.

  1. The service mode entry button is pressed and held for 3 seconds. The siren should give one beep. If all door locks are locked, then you need to open and close at least one of them.
  2. After locking the last door, after three seconds, the armed mode will be activated.

To disable the security mode, the second button of the key fob is used, but if the remote control is lost or broken, then you can use the emergency deactivation method:

  1. The car door opens, which will lead to the activation of the security function.
  2. The driver gets behind the wheel and switches the ignition system on and off three times. As a result, it must be left activated. The door does not need to be closed when the task is completed.
  3. The status LED will work without blinking. Guard mode should be disabled. The ignition will then turn off and the LED will flash slowly.
  4. You need to start counting flashes. After their number corresponds to the first digit of the password, the ignition in the car is turned off. The LED will turn on continuously.
  5. The ignition in the car is turned off again. The diode bulb will start blinking, you need to count the number of blinks corresponding to the second digit of the code.
  6. As a result, the ignition in the car turns on and off again. If the code is entered correctly, the alarm will disable the security mode.

Code change

The process for changing the password is as follows:

  1. The car door opens, you do not need to lock it.
  2. The ignition system is turned on and off 7 times by turning the key from "Off" to "ACC" and back. As a result, it should remain activated. The user must wait until the car's warning light blinks, this will happen after two seconds.
  3. During the next 3 s, button 4 is pressed on the communicator. If this is not done in time, the system will exit the password change menu. When entering programming mode, the alarm will blink three times.
  4. The first digit of the personal password is entered, for this the first key of the pager is used. You need to have time to do this no later than three seconds after the last blinking of the light signaling. The number of clicks must match the number of the code.
  5. Entering the next character of the password is in progress, but now it uses the second button on the pager. With each “click”, the external lights will blink.
  6. The ignition system is turned off, after which the door to the car closes. You need to wait a few seconds until the light alarm blinks three times.

The process of changing the password on a car with a Jerry alarm is performed according to a different algorithm:

  1. Guard mode is disabled. Then the user must activate, turn off and turn on the ignition system again.
  2. Over the next ten seconds, the first character of the password is entered. To do this, use the button to enter the service mode.
  3. The ignition system turns off and on.
  4. Similarly, the second value of the code is entered. Then the ignition must be turned off and on again. If the valid password is entered successfully, the siren will play a short beep.
  5. Then, within five seconds, you need to turn off the ignition system and enter a new code.
  6. To enter the setup menu, the service mode key is pressed five times. This will cause the siren to sound first with a short beep and then with a long beep.
  7. Within five seconds after the last pulse, the first button on the communicator is pressed. In confirmation of the readiness to enter the code, one siren signal will work.
  8. The service key is used to enter the first password value, for which the user has ten seconds. Characters are entered from 1 to 9, the number of clicks must match the number. In confirmation, the siren will work with sound signals.
  9. The second key is pressed on the pager, this will lead to the transition of the alarm to the mode of assigning the next character of the password.
  10. After a double siren signal, a new value is entered.
  11. To exit the programming menu, the ignition in the car is turned off. Siren will play two sound signal. If they are absent, you will need to activate and disarm the security mode, and then perform the code assignment procedure again.

To enter the shock sensor settings menu, press the third button of the communicator within three seconds after switching on the protection mode:

  • with the subsequent short-term “click”, the warning level of the controller is turned off;
  • double-clicking will completely deactivate the shock control;
  • with a triple "click" the device returns to its usual mode of operation.

System operation in alarm mode

The alarm mode is activated upon the following events:

  • opening doors when security is on (the alarm detects the opening of the limit switches);
  • receiving a signal from the alarm zone of the shock sensor;
  • activation of the ignition system and an attempt to start the engine;
  • disconnection of the voltage in the electrical network of the car.

The alarm mode turns on for thirty seconds, when it is activated, the siren is activated, as well as external lighting devices. If the limit switch remains open and the ignition is on, then the alarm cycles are repeated three times in a row. Accordingly, the total operating time of the mode can be 90 seconds.

Buttons 1 or 2 are used to turn off the alarms, while the vehicle remains protected. When the warning zone of the shock sensor is triggered, the siren beeps five times.

Automatic start

Before setting up a remote start of the engine on cars with auto start, you need to perform the software neutral procedure:

  1. The parking brake lever is raised in the car, the engine must be started at this moment.
  2. The third key is pressed on the communicator. External lights blink twice.
  3. The key in the lock is scrolled to the “Off” position and removed from the lock. The power unit should not stall after that.
  4. The driver exits the passenger compartment and closes the door, after which the engine should stop. If this happens, then the vehicle is ready to implement the autostart option.

To configure the function, perform the following steps:

  1. On the pager, the engine start button is pressed, it must be held for three seconds. The siren will sound, the engine start procedure will begin.
  2. The ignition is activated, which will lead to the crankshaft cranking by the starter mechanism. In total, the system makes four attempts to start if one of them fails. When using the function on a vehicle with a diesel engine, a pause of 7 seconds is maintained between the activation of the ignition and cranking the crankshaft. It is required to warm up the glow plugs, which makes it easier to start the engine at low negative temperatures.
  3. If the power unit is started, the corresponding indicator will be displayed on the indicator display. Depending on the user setting, the engine running time can be 7 or 15 minutes.

Programmable Features

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;
  • remote controls (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.

The relays built into the processor unit are designed to switch currents with a force of:

  • 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 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®;

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.

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 the 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 devices. 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 placed at the maximum possible distance from the metal parts of the body, which 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 is done after completion installation work. 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;

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

The Jerry alarm is activated in emergency mode by the 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. It is possible to cancel automatic switching on by activating 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 of the 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 alarm mode. 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 crankshaft 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 a successful start, the running motor icon will be 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. In contrast to the Excellent signaling, 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.

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.

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 simplest alarm system 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 of useful features and capabilities. 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 at a 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 against factors environment. 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 according to their financial capabilities and needs, but a large selection 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.

Characteristics of car alarm Fighter

As you know, the purpose of any anti-theft system is to sound and light alert the car owner about illegal entry into the car interior. The Fighter signaling is no exception. Besides, this alarm allows you to block the start of the engine in the event of a car break-in, as well as perform service functions using a key fob remotely. The installation of the Fighter signaling is allowed in all vehicles in which the voltage in the on-board network is 12 volts.

Appearance, equipment and parameters

The system package includes:

  • the control unit, which is the "brain", it is designed to process signals from the remote control, as well as perform basic protective functions;
  • a siren used to sound a signal;
  • two control panels - as a rule, one with feedback and the other with a spare, but it all depends on the signaling model;
  • mounting kit for installation and connection of the anti-theft system;
  • operating and installation instructions;
  • shock sensor;
  • LED to warn that the alarm is on;
  • antenna adapter designed to receive and transmit pulses;
  • depending on the model, the package may also include a relay.

Functionality

Now let's look at the main functionality, let's start with the protective functions:

  • anti-theft system protects the vehicle from illegal start of the engine;
  • provides reliable protection against opening doors, trunk, and hood;
  • allows you to protect against opening the door when the engine is running;
  • in addition, Fighter provides two-level protection against impacts and other impacts on the vehicle body;
  • Also, the signaling allows you to provide reliable protection against power interruptions.

These are the main protective features car alarms.

We also invite you to familiarize yourself with service functions on the example of the F-31 model:

  • the ability to control door locks in automatic mode;
  • if the car owner accidentally turns off the protection, then after some time the system will automatically return the car to the guard;
  • there is an option for automatic activation of protection;
  • options for activation and deactivation of the protection mode can be carried out both with and without sound confirmation;
  • the possibility of emergency shutdown of protection without using the remote control, using a personal code;
  • option "Panic";
  • the car search option is especially relevant when the car is left in a large parking lot, where there are many other cars;
  • option of "quiet" protection;
  • management capability additional channels systems;
  • also Fighter F-31 allows you to control the duration of auxiliary channel control signals;
  • the ability to control the lighting in the vehicle interior, often our compatriots use this function in order to scare suspicious people away from the car;
  • diode indication of operating modes, fact, as well as the reason why the signaling worked;
  • remote shutdown of the shock sensor, especially relevant if the controller is configured incorrectly (too sensitive) and the system often works for no reason;
  • opening doors in two stages;
  • the signaling also allows you to control the central locking of the car;
  • two impulse opening of door locks;
  • option to detect unlocked doors, trunk lid or hood when protection is activated;
  • another important functional feature is the sensor diagnostics option, which allows, in case of malfunctions, to identify failed devices;
  • the function of writing codes, as well as deleting combinations of lost control panels from memory.

Separately, it should be noted the functions that allow you to ensure the personal safety of the motorist:

  • the ability to turn on the Anti High Jack option from the key fob - the function of protection against robbery;
  • the same option can be run in automatic mode;
  • option automatic control— opening and closing — doors while driving.

Varieties and lineup

As you can understand, the models of Fighter anti-theft installations differ not only in cost, but also in functionality.

Currently on sale you can find the following signaling models:

  • F-14;
  • F-15;
  • F-16B;
  • F-17;
  • F-18;
  • F-19;
  • F-28;
  • F-29;
  • F-31;
  • revolution.

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 are equipped with a key fob without a screen, and this, in turn, greatly complicates the use of 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, such places as under the dashboard in the glove compartment, under the seat, in the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe radio tape recorder 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 contact with fuels and lubricants or other foreign objects on 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.
  2. Then the ignition is activated and turned off three times, after which the key must be left in the “off” position.
  3. 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 restore the 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 beeps should be heard. This will reset all programmed options to factory defaults.

Issue price

The cost of the signaling depends on its model. One of the most popular models is the F-14 model, its average price is about 1700-2000 rubles.
