SIMPLIFIED PROGRAMMING

A remote control must always be programmed with the:

  • - alarm switched off (LED off)
  • - ignition key removed or in the OFF/PARK position
  • - emergency key in the ON position

With this programming method all the codes for an unlimited number of remote controls are "recognized", but only the last 8 remain memorized by the alarm system in the following way:

  1. press the button (5) on the receiver located in the luggage compartment and keep it pressed, the LED (4) next to it should flash;
  2. keeping the button (5) pressed, press the remote control switch (3).
  3. then release the switch (3) when the LED (4) in the receiver comes on constantly;
  4. then release the button (5) in the receiver at the end of the cycle.
  5. If the LED in the receiver goes out when the remote control switch is pressed this means that the receiver memory is closed; it is therefore necessary to carry out the "PROTECTED" programming.

NOTE In order to programme further remote controls, repeat the operations described above.

Country code programming

Procedure a)

Having completed the programming of the remote controls by following the instructions given above, within 15 seconds of releasing the receiver button it is necessary to programme the code for the country where the alarm system is going to be operating. The country code is programmed by pressing the button on the receiver a certain number of times in quick succession (see table below): each time it is pressed the LED will flash. If the button is not pressed, the system will operate according to the country code programmed previously; if there is no country code programmed (1st programming) then the system will automatically operate according to the "ITALIAN" mode.

NOTE The 15 seconds are reduced to 3 from the second programming onwards.

COUNTRY OF OPERATION COUNTRY CODE

COUNTRY OF OPERATION
1 ITALY 5 UNITED KINGDOM
2 GERMANY 6 BELGIUM
3 FRANCE 7 HOLLAND
4 SWITZERLAND 8 EEC

If the procedure has been carried out correctly, the LED in the receiver will flash n. times (where n. is the number of the "country code" selected), confirming that the code has been programmed both in the receiver and in the control unit;
if this is not the case, the LED will come on CONSTANTLY for 5 seconds; at this point it will be necessary to repeat all the operations starting from point 1 of the programming.

NOTE In order to programme the "country code" it is possible to use the procedure involving the FIAT /LANCIA Tester and other diagnostic systems.
