Pros and cons of sheriff alarm

Almost all the advantages of this alarm are described above. It should also be noted that its cost will pleasantly surprise motorists who do not have significant financial means. And this suggests that it is successfully installed both on used domestic cars and on modern foreign cars.

But this security system also has its drawbacks.

Wiring diagram. The manufacturer does not recommend installing it in the engine compartment, or in the trunk of a car, as many metal parts will interfere, so it is possible to turn off the alarm on its own, or poor interaction between the key fob and the central unit.
Vulnerability to code grabbers. Code grabbers are called special electronic devices, which can read dynamic code alarms. The sheriff, unfortunately, is dynamic.
The alarm cannot be turned off, or put the car under protection. This happens when batteries run out, or defective individual parts of the unit.
The alarm starts to turn off only when the key fob button is pressed hard.

No more negative qualities this product does not have.

Some drivers are interested in the question of how to turn off the alarm if the key fob does not work, or its other elements on their own. To do this, press the VALET button, which must be installed in a hidden place, but accessible to the driver.

Video "Detailed overview of the APS-2600 car alarm functions"

User Yaroslav540 spoke in detail about the possibilities and options security complex Sheriff 2600.

The Sheriff car security system uses an algorithm dynamic coding when transmitting service pulses, due to which attempts to write the code and apply it do not lead to success. Each time a command is transmitted from the key fob, the code changes, so the previously recorded signal will not work.
The system of manual arming of the alarm system and its deactivation also positively affects the security of the protection system. For example, when your key fob is lost, broken, or a powerful "jammer" of the radio signal is working nearby, you can manually turn the alarm on or off.

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!

You should carefully read the instructions for using the alarm, the section titled " Manual setting arming systems" and " Manual override security system." It is here that the process of arming and disarming the alarm is described in detail.

In order to protect the vehicle from hacking as much as possible, try to use the key fob as close to the car as possible. Thus, the previously transmitted code will be marked as non-working and the possibility of interception will become impossible.

It is also necessary to use a phased system shutdown algorithm. In the event that the function F13 " Secret code» active, synchronization with new key fobs, change of security code, change of program functions from F12 to F20, freelance deactivation protective system, turning off "Anti Hi Jack" can only be done after entering a personal code! Changing function values from F1 to F11 does not require changing the service code and always works.

In order to accurately determine the Sheriff signaling model, there are several ways. First, you can open the key fob and look at the marking of the integrated circuit. Security keychain Sheriff systems assembled on snaps. Some modifications use bolts. It is necessary to carefully pry the latches and separate the top cover of the key fob.

According to the marking on the chip and the printed circuit board, using a search on the Internet, and you can find out the exact model of a particular alarm.

It is also possible to see the brand of a particular security system by disassembling the head unit. Most often it is installed under dashboard car.

On the side of the antenna connector there is a marking, which is just the number by which, using the network, you can find out the brand of the security system in 95% of cases. You need to disassemble the head unit very carefully so as not to damage its insides. Also, be sure to disconnect all connectors, their partial disconnection can disable the system. Disconnect the battery and auxiliary battery terminals as a priority.

The Sheriff alarm control unit is assembled on miniature bolts. In order to disassemble the device you will need:

small Phillips screwdriver;
plastic plate (thickness 1 mm);
needle;

Disassemble the head unit carefully, without using excessive force, otherwise you may permanently damage the device.

Alarm system designers do not write model numbers on their designs for protection purposes. After all, knowing the exact alarm model, an attacker can easily deactivate it. For example, a station worker Maintenance, when replacing any part, will be able to look at the block cover and remember the model of the system.

You need to determine the model of the alarm system installed on the car if you want to change the key fob for it, or order a spare part with additional equipment.
