Tomahawk 9010: instruction manual, programming table, reviews, setup

The purpose of the alarm device is to notify the owner of the vehicle about the possibility of theft, harm to him or an attempt to get inside the car.
Even a simple demonstration of the presence of a security device will help you avoid becoming an easy target for car thieves. Moreover, such a device, which has numerous anti-protective functions, like the tomahawk tz 9010 alarm system. The slogan on the official website is fully justified by the presence of a large number of service functions.

Belongs to the category of alarms with auto start. The supply voltage is 12 V. The tomahawk alarm tz 9010 can be used in cars of any class.

The device is connected according to the following diagram:

Entering programming mode for remote start functions

To enter the Tomahawk auto-start alarm programming menu, the following algorithm is performed:

1. The ignition system in the car is turned on; for this, the key is set to the “ACC” position. The power unit does not start.
2. The emergency service mode entry button is pressed six times in a row. If you did not install the anti-theft system yourself, the location of the key should be checked with the installer.
3. Then the ignition is turned off by setting the key to “Off” mode.
4. Using the button to enter the emergency service mode, you select the line with the required option in accordance with the programming table. Each time you press a key, the system moves to the next function.
5. Using the communicator and its buttons, the desired parameter is selected in accordance with the table.
6. To exit the settings menu, the user must take no action for ten seconds.

Main functionality

When each mode is turned on, a sound signal is heard. This option allows the vehicle owner to verify that the selected function is correct. When the protective unit is activated, the alarm responds with a short-term siren and flashing lights. If the option is connected correctly, the light sensor will start blinking. The system responds to the execution of the reverse procedure by sending identical signals.

The kit switches to immobilizer mode automatically thirty seconds after the ignition is turned off. The corresponding indicator lights up to confirm the selected option. To turn off this mode, you need to press the button with the image of a closed lock once.

The “Tomahawk 9010” series, with the help of which autostart is carried out remotely using a button with a key emblem, indicates the start of the mode by parking lights flashing three times, and the necessary indicators are displayed on the remote control monitor. After starting the power unit, the pager will signal with a specific melody sound.

Below is a video review of the Tomahawk car alarm. Filmed by Ivan Vasilyevich channel.

Advantages

Reviews from car owners who have installed a Tomahawk alarm are mostly positive. Among the main advantages are remote engine starting. This is especially true in areas with harsh climates or in winter.

An additional plus is the ability to keep the engine running for up to 2 hours after turning off the ignition. Or its activation every two hours. Owners of cars with a turbocharged engine appreciated the option of gradual cooling of the turbine, which increases the service life of the bearings.

Even basic Tomahawk models with a minimum number of functions have an undoubted advantage over other security systems. It consists in immobilizing the engine relay and the range.

Flaws

Based on reviews from car owners, the following disadvantages can be identified:

• within the city there may be a delay when activating the security mode;
• an unpleasant squeak when pressing the start button;
• After a year of operation, the key fob begins to freeze.

Peculiarities

To begin with, it will be useful for you to learn about the features of the Tomahawk alarm, so let's start with a description of the main characteristics. The features below are described using the Tomahawk X5 car alarm as an example.

To understand how the circuit works as a whole, we first suggest finding out what elements the device consists of:

• main module, which is a block;
• key fob (the X5 model comes with a key fob with an LCD display);
• another key fob, as a backup, is usually not equipped with a display;
• shock sensor, works in one of several modes;
• The Tomahawk X5 alarm model is also equipped with an antenna through which data is received and transmitted;
• temperature sensor;
• a fuse that, if the car is opened, will block the engine;
• wires that allow connection according to the diagram;
• LED light bulb installed in the car interior;
• user manual.

The key fob is designed to control car alarms.

In the case of the Tomahawk X5 model, the control option is as follows:

• the protective mode is triggered after you press the key fob button;
• if necessary, you can configure the key fob so that the security mode is turned on at a certain time (you can correctly determine the functions and configure them using the operating instructions).

In terms of functionality, Tomahawk alarms generally have the same functions as other standard devices.

1. Anti-scanner and anti-grabber. Their purpose is to protect the device from digital signal interception. That is, if an attacker tries to intercept the button signal over a wireless network, he will encounter additional protection.
2. Another useful feature is Mhz autostart. Autostart on the Tomahawk X5 model is equipped with a timer and interior temperature. If the car is equipped with auto start, then the car starts according to the settings that need to be determined in advance.
3. If the driver forgets to press the key fob button, the system is activated automatically.
4. Turbo timer. If the car engine is running, then the turbo timer will allow you to set the car alarm with the engine running, while the doors are closed.
5. Motor blocking. Even if intruders are able to turn off the shock sensor and open the doors, the engine will be blocked, and the Tomahawk X5 alarm key fob will receive a signal about a break-in.
6. The alarm system is also equipped with a built-in central lock.
7. The Tomahawk X5 model is equipped with Valet mode. This mode allows you to disable protective systems. This function is relevant if you are sending your car for repairs.
8. Silent protection option. If an attacker tries to disable the protection, the system will not make sounds. Even if a criminal opens the doors, the alarm will remain silent. The signal will be sent exclusively to the key fob, at which time the attackers will not even realize that the owner of the car knows everything.
9. Timer, clock and alarm clock. In general, these options are not particularly relevant for alarms, but the developers of the Tomahawk X5 decided to add them.
10. Don’t worry about the fact that the key fob is universal and opens all cars with such a security system. Each Tomahawk X5 alarm has a specific PIN code that allows you to control the security to disable it.
11. If necessary, it is possible to connect your steering horn to a siren, which works when an attempt is made to break into the car.
12. If the safe driving option is enabled, the system will automatically lock the car doors from the start of driving. The doors will only be unlocked after the vehicle has stopped. The door lock option is very useful, since no one is immune from accidents, especially if you have children. The doors will be locked from the inside and the child will not be able to open them (video author - Evgeniy Ignatov).

Ignition switch wire designations

Look at the diagram shown in the figure.

Terminal block with two starter contacts

The above does not mean that both cords can be connected together and connected using the circuits discussed here. The diagrams indicate one wire (ST1) that makes up the starter power circuit. This option is suitable:

• For all domestic cars without exception;
• For new foreign cars;
• For foreign cars up to 90-91 years of manufacture.

This is the paradox - the “ST2” cord is not provided in the new, as well as in the oldest models.

Diagram for TZ-9030

Here's how to connect the Tomahawk TZ-9030 main unit to the ignition switch to use autostart. Of course, after installation, you need to do programming, which is discussed below. If the use of a lineman is required, connect it to the terminal of the main alarm connector (black and red cord). The power connector, in turn, has the following wiring.

Instructions for equipment TZ-9030

If we talk about the Tomahawk TW-9010 model, the purpose of the IGN3 pin will be different from what is being considered here.

In "Chapter 1" the designations were listed: IGN1, IGN2, ACC, starter wire (ST). The “IGN3” cord has been added here, but it replaces the ACC wire. The “blue” cord coming out of the alarm terminal block must be connected to the ACC contact, otherwise the autostart will not work. At the same time, if you make changes to the settings, the IGN3 pin can be connected to the ST2 pin. True, it is not clear how to “emulate” the ACC wire then.

A “T” connection is used when connecting to all wires except the starter. And the “ST” cord needs to be cut to connect the resulting ends with the black and yellow wires. The cable that goes to the alarm from the lock is a signal cable (thin).

Diagram for TW-9010

A non-standard method of switching starter current is typical for the following alarm model: Tomahawk TW-9010. Voltage is supplied here from the 6-pin power terminal block when autostart is performed. The rest of the time, the starter wire conducts current, even if the car alarm does not work or does not work correctly. A blocking relay is included in the gap in the standard wiring. Whether it can be removed from the scheme is unknown. It is better, therefore, to stick to the recommended option.

Current loop without blocking

Note that the Tomahawk TW-9010 and TZ-9030 alarms can control the immobilizer bypass. The lineman’s “negative” cord is connected to the black-red cable (figure at the beginning of the chapter). The latter is designed to be connected to the “IGN3” pin, but in most cars this option is not used.

The ground potential on the black-red cord appears before the starter starts, which is exactly what is required for the lineman to work. In general, everything looks strange: in alarms with auto-start, they often provide a separate output intended only for connecting a lineman.

Customer Reviews

Customer reviews are mostly positive, although sometimes they talk about minor shortcomings.

Evgeniy, Krasnoyarsk: Before purchasing, I did some marketing research. Made a comparison of car alarms from different manufacturers and models. Of the alarm systems in this price category, the tomahawk tz 9010 is a reliable and proven option. In addition to numerous functions, it is possible to expand the application with additional components available on the market.

Oleg, Novosibirsk: I consulted with the seller in the store and read the information on the Internet. Visited the car owners forum. I liked that the tomahawk tz 9010 alarm system provides all security functions. I have already used some of them. What I liked most was the keychain, on which the buttons are arranged in an easy-to-remember order. The information on the display is clear. The leather case protects against mechanical damage when dropped, as we have already seen.

Alexander, Chelyabinsk: I recently purchased a tomahawk tz 9010 car alarm. I completed the installation in one evening. The user manual is very detailed. However, it later turned out that when you need to arm the car, you have to press the button several times and be close to the car. This is inconvenient. Otherwise, there are no complaints so far.

Denis, Moscow: To replace a security alarm that had fallen into disrepair, I purchased a tomahawk tz 9010. Overall, I am pleased with the purchase, but there is one problem. It consists in the fact that the shock sensor sometimes triggers unexpectedly, for no apparent reason. Apart from this, there are no complaints about the tomahawk tz 9010 alarm system.

Andrey, Vladivostok: This is not my first car alarm. Compared to the ones I used before, I liked the tomahawk tz 9010 the most. Numerous service functions ensure comfort. I especially like the pre-warming of the car. It's nice to sit in an already heated cabin.

How to install an alarm?

When installing an alarm, you must follow the following rules:

• all installation work is carried out with the car de-energized (with the wires removed from the battery terminals);
• alarm units must be located discreetly;
• the Override button is installed hidden, but must be accessible;
• alarm units should not overheat or become damp;
• It is recommended to avoid installing the head unit near sources of interference, which may be car electrical systems.

The Tomahawk TW-9010 alarm antenna should be located away from the electronic components. The length of the system connecting harnesses should be minimal.

Installation steps

The step-by-step installation procedure is as follows:

1. The electronic alarm unit is located inside the car. Due to its size, the optimal location is the instrument panel.
2. The antenna should be installed at the highest possible height inside the vehicle. It should not touch the body. Typically, users install the antenna along the top edge of the windshield. If the glass has a sun strip, it is not recommended to place the device on it. This is due to the shielding effect of the protective coating.
3. Install the siren in the engine compartment. The installation location must be inaccessible through the holes at the bottom. When using a stand-alone device, ensure clear access to the keyhole. It is recommended to immediately install the siren wiring into the cabin, which will provide protection against oxidation.
4. Circuits with high current values ​​connected to the electronic unit (power supply, control of external lighting or door locks) must be protected by fuse links with the appropriate rating.
5. Install the limit switches of the engine compartment and trunk lids. It is recommended to periodically clean the devices from dirt and lubricate them. This is especially true for wiring that becomes covered with oxides and ceases to provide signal transmission.
6. The shock sensor should be installed inside the car. The sensor is attached to a metal body element using self-tapping screws or tape. Installation on plastic panels is not recommended, as it does not ensure correct operation of the device.
7. After installing the main modules, they should be connected with wiring harnesses. To supply positive power, wires going to the ignition switch are used. As an alternative, it is possible to use a separate conductor going directly to the battery terminal. With this type of installation, an additional 3 Ampere fuse is installed in the conductor. The negative signal is taken from the car body from the standard ground nut. It is not recommended to screw the negative wire with a self-tapping screw, since such a connection does not provide contact. All “signaling” wiring connections into the standard electrical network must be soldered and insulated. In this case, it is prohibited to use acid-based fluxes, as they lead to destruction of the wiring.
8. Connect the power supply to the on-board network after installing all the harnesses and test the operation of the alarm.
9. Configure the shock sensor. To do this, its sensitivity is set to a minimum level and the response threshold is checked by lightly striking the body with the palm of the hand.
10. Configure system parameters using the key fob and service button.

The Tomahawk TW-9010 main unit is shown in a video shot by paladinMgn.

Wiring connection

A detailed description of the wire connections is available in the instruction manual.

When installing Tomahawk TW-9010, the wiring is connected to the connectors of the unit:

• power connector with six remote start pins;
• block with six contacts for connecting the central locking;
• main connector of the electronic unit (18 pins);
• shock sensor block (four pins);
• five-pin antenna connector;
• two connectors for a setting button and an operating mode indicator (two pins each).

Harness connection diagram

When installing the electronic unit on it, you must use a jumper to select the type of gearbox. If the jumper is installed, the system can work with an automatic transmission; if removed, it can work with a manual transmission.

Below are photos of diagrams for connecting the system harnesses to the on-board network.

Alarm test poll

If the car owner with the key is within the range of the alarm, he has the opportunity to test the system. To perform this task, the third key on the communicator is pressed. The remote control display will display information about the temperature in the vehicle interior, as well as data about activated security zones. When conducting a test survey, the machine will blink three times.

How to open the trunk

To open the tailgate, use the third key on the communicator, only now you need to hold it down. This will cause the lock to open. An indicator with the tailgate open will appear on the communicator display.

How to search for a car in a parking lot?

To complete the task, you need to hold down the third and fourth keys of the communicator. When the command is sent to the microprocessor module, the vehicle's headlights will blink six times. A siren will also sound.

Anti-hijack

To activate this function, keys numbered 1 and 3 are clicked and held. When the option is enabled, the light alarm should work for 30 seconds. Then the siren will be activated and the electrical circuits of the engine and starter will be blocked. Thanks to this, starting the power unit and further using the car will be impossible, and if the engine was started, the alarm will stop it. The corresponding indicator will appear on the communicator display.

Panic mode

To enable this option, keys 1 and 3 are also pressed, but they do not need to be held down, just click. If the power unit is running, the function cannot be activated. When the mode is turned on, the car will blink three times and the siren will emit a sound signal.

Calling the driver from the salon

To perform this task, a special key is used, which is equipped with the antenna adapter. When the remote control receives a signal, it will play a melodic pulse. An indicator with the inscription Call will appear on the communicator display.

How to start or disable the alarm when the key fob is lost?

If the remote control is faulty or lost, the procedure for disabling and enabling the protection mode can be performed using the service key. It is important that the car owner has access to it when he is in the driver's seat.

Activation is done like this:

1. The key is inserted into the lock and the ignition is activated.
2. The service button is clicked 8 times.
3. Then the ignition is turned off, the car owner leaves the cabin. The light alarm should work and the siren will be activated. After 20 seconds, the anti-theft system will operate normally.

To turn off the system, follow these steps:

1. The car door opens with a key. The key is installed in the lock and the ignition is activated.
2. The service button is clicked four times.
3. The ignition is turned off. As confirmation, two flashes and a double siren will sound.

Problems with autostart

Possible reasons that may affect autorun operation:

1. The limit switch mounted on the hood shorts to ground. It is necessary to check the integrity of the device and replace it if necessary. If the trigger fails, its rod may “stick” in the lowered position. You will also need to check the wires and make sure their integrity; if the electrical circuits are damaged, they are replaced. The reason may be oxidation of the contact on the sensor; to eliminate the problem, the conductors are cleaned.
2. There is no output in the conductors connected to the ignition switch. It is necessary to reconnect the cables in accordance with the installation and connection diagram.
3. A “conflict” has arisen in the operation of the standard engine immobilizer and alarm immobilizer. If your car uses a keyless security system, you can leave the key in the car to troubleshoot the problem. However, this is the least safe option and may result in the vehicle being stolen. In order to eliminate the malfunction, it is necessary to install an immobilizer bypass.
4. There is no power supplied to the ignition switch; one of the fuses has failed. Each element is subject to diagnosis and replacement in case of breakdown or burnout. Only fuses of the correct rating must be used.
5. The ignition switch or starter mechanism is faulty. With such a problem, diagnostics of all electrical circuit contacts connected to these devices is required. The contact pad with the cylinder in the ignition switch may have worn out; this element must be replaced.
6. Failure of the temperature controller responsible for starting the motor. The contacts on the sensor could have oxidized, causing it to not work. A detailed check of the conductors with replacement of damaged electrical circuits is required. It is recommended to additionally wrap the cables with electrical tape to prevent rapid wear and damage. A failed sensor cannot be repaired and will have to be replaced.
7. Incorrect installation of the anti-theft system. Errors made during installation and connection will lead to current leakage, which will ultimately cause the battery to discharge. The device will need to be charged to resolve the problem. You need to make sure that the wires from the alarm are not frayed or worn out.
8. Faulty mounting block with fuses. The elements themselves may be in working condition, but as a result of exposure to high loads, the contact path could burn out. To eliminate the malfunction, you will need to disassemble the module and replace the working platforms.
9. Failure or incorrect operation of the microprocessor module. It is almost impossible to calculate software malfunctions without special equipment and knowledge. To determine the cause, you need to contact a specialist. The control unit may not operate as a result of oxidation or clogged contacts on the main connector. To fix the problem, you will need to clean the pad.

Remote engine start

To remotely start the engine, you need to press button No. 4 (key) - the car will respond with a triple flash of parking lights and three siren signals. One of the messages will appear on the display:

• 5t – an attempt was made to start the engine;
• 5P – attempt to start the engine failed;
• image of a car with clouds of exhaust gases - the engine is running.

The car engine will run for a pre-programmed time (5/10/15/20 minutes) and then turn off. To extend the operating time, you need to simultaneously press buttons No. 4 (key) and No. 5 (lock). Each subsequent press of these buttons increases the engine warm-up time by 5 minutes. The key fob display will show the value of the programmed engine operating time.

The car engine cannot be started remotely if:

• ignition on;
• the hood is open;
• The gear lever is not set to neutral;
• the car's handbrake is not on;
• Valet mode activated;
• On a car with a manual transmission, preparation for remote engine start has not been completed.

In any of the listed cases (except for Valet), when you try to remotely start the car, 4 alarm sounds will sound.

Setting the sensitivity of the shock sensor

Adjustment is required if the shock sensor is not configured correctly and the alarm reacts to thunderstorms, passing cars, or does not even respond to strong impacts on the car.

We configure the sensor as follows:

• tighten its adjusting screws (to increase sensitivity, turn it clockwise; to decrease it, turn it counterclockwise);
• we lock the car and put it in security mode;
• We try to lightly hit the body.

If the sensitivity is too low or too high, open the car and adjust the sensitivity again using the adjusting screws. Thus, we adapt the alarm to our requirements.

ATTENTION! You can find out where the shock sensor is located from the specialist who installed the alarm on your car.

Completeness

The standard Tomahawk tz 9010 alarm kit includes:

• main device;
• keychain with display;
• additional key fob without display;
• antenna;
• siren;
• relay for engine blocking;
• wires for connection;
• shock sensor

The operational documentation includes a user manual, including installation instructions, passport, and warranty card.

Reset to factory settings

A factory reset can be performed using the built-in button. To do this proceed as follows:

• turn on the ignition;
• Press the Override button 10 times in a row;
• turn off the ignition - the alarm sounds 10 trills;
• press the Override button once – the alarm emits one trill;
• press button “5” (lock);
• turn on the ignition - the side lights flash 5 times.

When resetting the alarm to factory settings, all manipulations must be performed promptly and without delay.

Emergency activation and deactivation of the alarm system

If the car does not respond to the key fob, you can use the emergency activation and alarm disabling function.

Emergency alarm activation

To activate an emergency alarm, you must:

• turn on the ignition, but do not start the engine;
• press the Override button eight times;
• turn off the ignition.

The car will react with a single flash of the parking lights and a single sound of the siren. After 20 seconds, the system will automatically turn on the security mode.

If, 20 seconds after the emergency activation of the alarm, any of the security zones are triggered, the car will notify the user of this by flashing the parking lights four times and sounding the siren four times. After this, the user will have 20 seconds to disarm it. If this is not done, the system will activate the alarm mode.

Emergency alarm shutdown

To make an emergency shutdown of the alarm without a key fob, you must:

• turn on the ignition (do not start the engine);
• press the Override button four times;
• turn off the ignition.

The parking lights will flash twice and the siren will sound twice.

REFERENCE. The key fob pager will continue to function even after the user has made an emergency activation or emergency shutdown of the alarm system

Key fob buttons

Purpose of the buttons from left to right and bottom to top:

• turning the system on and off - 01;
• remote start - 02;
• trunk lock control - 03;
• silent mode or additional channels - 04;
• turning on the display backlight or setting parameters on the key fob - 05.

For control, short or long presses on individual buttons, as well as key combinations, can be used. All information is available in the programming instruction tables.

A spare or additional Tomahawk TW-9010 alarm key fob can only be used to control the security system. The main remote control is used for setup.

The LED built into the antenna unit does not light up

If the antenna light diode does not work on the Tomahawk TZ 9010 alarm system, the reasons may be problems in the element itself or in auxiliary devices.

1. The diode itself or its resistance has burned out. In this case, it is enough to re-solder the part.
2. The driver responsible for the display is damaged. Repairs are carried out similarly, with a more complex replacement process.
3. Internal failure of the control unit.

Some malfunctions

In certain cases, autorun does not work. This can happen for various reasons, but there are a number of basic errors that lead to these problems. For example, having installed the X5 model, the key fob settings were made incorrectly, which does not allow you to set one or another mode and activate the autostart function. It is necessary to configure the system accordingly to avoid such problems. If the car does not start automatically, then you should contact a specialist. There may have been errors made when connecting the system. The same applies to those cases when the car starts and stalls.

When installing such a serious and complex system on your car, you should never hope. That you can handle this on your own without the proper knowledge. In this work, professionalism and knowledge of the device as a whole are important. Otherwise, you will not get the desired result and may even damage the car, which will lead to failure of car components and costly repairs.

Warming up at a given temperature

The tomahawk system includes an under-hood temperature sensor that is used to activate automatic warm-up. Activation of the engine warm-up function based on the temperature value is performed by simultaneously pressing buttons 2 and 3 of the key fob.

When the function is turned on, the headlights will blink and the siren will emit a sound signal, the corresponding icon and the temperature of the automation will be displayed on the remote control display. Auto heating is turned off by pressing the same buttons on the remote control again.

The deactivation of the function is confirmed by double flashing of the headlights and double beeping of the siren, and a melody will play on the pager and the auto warm-up icon will disappear.

User guide

A user manual in Russian is included in the required kit when purchasing an alarm system. If you lose it, you can download a new one from our website.

The extensive guide includes:

• alarm description;
• specifications;
• functions;
• steps required to enable features;
• programming order.

It includes a description of the key fob and a description of the symbols and buttons on it. Installation of an alarm system in a car can take place according to the schemes indicated there.

Linking an additional key fob

If it was not possible to bind an additional device using a similar method, perform the following actions:

1. The ignition system in the car turns on, but the power unit does not start. When turning the key in the lock, the user must simultaneously hold down the button to enter the service mode.
2. The siren will play four sound pulses.
3. The service mode button is released.
4. On the communicator, you simultaneously press controls with indicators in the form of an open trunk and silent car protection. In confirmation, the siren will play several sound signals, their appearance indicates successful programming.
5. To exit the binding menu, you must take no action for 6 seconds.

To find out how many remote controls are registered in the Tomahawk memory, you need to press the button in the form of an open trunk with the ignition off. The remote control will blink its LED indicator several times. The number of flashes corresponds to the number of recorded key fobs.

Tomahawk Z-1 Programming

It would seem that all Tomahawk systems only have two options when linking key fobs. But Tomahawk Z-1 has its own algorithm. Just like with other alarms, first you need to disarm the car and turn on the ignition. But then the Override button is pressed eight times, the ignition is turned off, and the alarm confirms entry into the programming mode with eight siren signals, accompanied by flashes of the headlights or turn signals, depending on the connection of the central unit. Next, you can register not 4, but up to 6 key fobs, while on each one, only one arming button is pressed in turn - it must be kept pressed until the siren gives a confirmation signal.

Having registered the necessary key fobs one by one, to exit the programming mode, you need to turn on the ignition.
