How to install an alarm?

Instructions Sherkhan Magikar A:

1. Turn off the power supply to the machine. To do this, find the battery under the hood of the car; two cables are connected to it. Both wires are fixed using clamps on the terminals. These elements need to be loosened, use a wrench.
2. Prepare a place to install the control device. The device is mounted in a place inaccessible to a potential criminal, for example, behind the dashboard trim or under the dashboard. Disassemble part of the center console, remove the plastic trim, just be careful not to damage it. Disconnect the wires with connectors from the control panel, and then dismantle the device. The processor module can be wrapped with foam rubber before installation, this will avoid the negative impact of vibrations on it during movement. Secure the device with self-tapping screws.
3. Install a siren under the hood. Installation is carried out in such a place that the device is located away from the power unit and is inaccessible to criminals. When installing, securely fix the siren in the mounting location.
4. The temperature controller is installed in the cabin. It is necessary to choose a place so that after installation the sensor is not visible. If criminals gain access to it, it's not a big deal. It is important that the controller does not spoil the appearance of the interior. You can install it in the free space behind or under the radio. The wires from the sensor are routed to the processor unit.
5. The shock sensor is mounted on the car body. It is better to install the controller in the cabin to avoid the negative effects of moisture and dirt on the device. The sensor can be mounted on the partition that separates the engine compartment from the passenger compartment. When installing under the controller, do not place gaskets, especially if they are made of plastic or rubber. Their presence will result in the sensor triggering for no reason.
6. Install a limit switch on the hood or tailgate. If the car manufacturer has not provided a technological hole for mounting the device, then you will have to make it yourself using a cutter or drill. If the car is under warranty, be sure to consult your dealer before drilling a hole.
7. The signal transceiver is mounted inside the passenger compartment, on the windshield. The device should be installed as close to the ceiling as possible. But keep in mind that the presence of metal objects near the sensor will cause the quality of the transmitted signal to deteriorate. There must be at least 4 cm from the metal to the antenna. The transceiver is fixed with a sticker on the glass.
8. The motor blocking relay is installed under the ignition switch trim. The device is connected to the starter power circuits according to the diagram included in the kit.
9. When all components are installed, they are connected to the control device. Electrical circuits must be laid under the interior trim; to do this, the plastic upholstery is removed. The cables must be laid so that they are not exposed to external influences. Otherwise, it will damage the electrical circuits.

The installation procedure for the security system is shown in the video filmed by Sergei Zaitsev.

Keychain - communicator

Before you start using the scher khan magicar a alarm key fob, you need to bring it into working position. During storage, as well as transportation, in order to avoid battery discharge, an insulating pad is installed between it and the contact block; it is this that allows the battery not to run out.

It is necessary to remove the insulator from the alarm battery compartment. Bend the leash securing the cover of the key fob body and move the cover to the side, away from the antenna. Remove the battery.

Remove the insulator between it and the contact block. Replace the battery, strictly observing the polarity indicated on the bottom of the battery compartment. Now you can close the battery cover, the key fob is ready for use.

Important! It is necessary to set the exact time of the scher khan alarm key fob. This is necessary for the correct operation of the autostart of the power plant.

Possible faults

Vlad Samarsky showed a problem that a consumer may encounter when using the Magikar A signaling system.

What errors can a consumer encounter:

1. Broken key fob. If the pager is not working, first of all you need to check the condition of the power supplies. Typically, a key fob malfunction is caused by their discharge. It is necessary to replace the batteries, observing the polarity. If the batteries are intact, then inspect the device - there should be no signs of damage, dirt or moisture. If the pager falls into water, you need to disassemble it by unscrewing the screws on the case, remove the board, and then dry it. Mechanical damage is corrected by resoldering contacts and other circuit elements.
2. Failure or incorrect operation of the transceiver. If the antenna adapter breaks down, problems will arise in sending commands; the complex will not respond to all commands. Make sure you have installed the device correctly. If there are metal objects near it, then the transceiver must be moved to another place. Check the electrical connection circuit of the device; if it is damaged, the wire must be replaced.
3. If other electrical circuits are damaged, the complex will also function intermittently. To find damaged wires, you will need the help of an electrician or a voltmeter if you know how to use a tester.
4. If the alarm siren goes off for no reason, you need to check the operation of the shock sensor. If the settings are incorrect, the device detects even minor vibrations near the car body. It can react to cars passing by, as well as running animals. You need to adjust the sensitivity parameter of the device.
5. Problems may occur in the operation of the main module. This device is the “brain” of any security system. Software malfunctions must be looked for through diagnostics; usually, reflashing the device can solve such problems. It is recommended to entrust the firmware procedure to specialists, since its implementation will require special software and equipment. If there is oxidation on the contacts of the unit connector, they must be cleaned. If moisture gets on the device, the device must be dried; it would be useful to check the condition of the elements on the microcircuit. All damaged components must be replaced and resoldered.

Do not attempt to troubleshoot processor software problems yourself.

When arming

Sensor activation:

• as soon as the central alarm LED begins to flicker, the system will protect all security zones, the trunk lid of the engine compartment, doors and the call sensor;
• after the 30 second period has expired, the shock sensor is also activated;

Important! If, during the installation of the protective mode of the scher khan alarm system, a sound notification sounded three times, and an icon in the form of a car with an open door appeared on the key fob screen, then one of the security zones is not in order (trunk, engine compartment, one of the doors, trunk lid).

As soon as the security zone is in order, the system will automatically protect it. The engine compartment is notified separately on the key fob screen, the hood sensor must be connected to the trunk lock.

Deactivating the security mode

To disable the alarm mode, you need to press the I key of the key fob once. The scher khan system will disarm, all locks will open, once the starter and ignition system are blocked.
