DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Partially armed mode
If a door, tailgate or bonnet [hood] is left open when
the system is armed, the LED will not light for 10
seconds indicating a mislock condition. Hazard lights
will not flash. If an open door or tailgate is causing the
mislock, the starter motor is disabled. The alarm will
sound if ignition is turned to start position. If an open
bonnet [hood] is causing the mislock the starter motor
is disabled. The alarm will arm the volumetric part of
the system. If the door tailgate or bonnet [hood] is
subsequently closed, after a 5 second delay, the
doors will unlock and immediately lock and the system
will fully arm.
Handset transmitter
The handset LED will give one short flash when
button is pressed momentarily.
If button is held down the LED will light again after 2
seconds for 2 seconds, and extinguish until button is
released and repressed. The handset contains unique
information distinguishing it from other transmitters. It
also contains a set of ’random’ rolling codes
programmed into the ECU before leaving the factory.
Each time the handset is pressed a different code is
transmitted to the ECU.
If handset is operated more than four times outside
the vehicle range (6 metres) or power supply is
removed, it will be necessary to re-sychronise handset
and the ECU by pressing the handset three times
within range and within 5 seconds.
NOTE: If both handsets are lost or
damaged when system is armed it will be
necessary to fit a new ECU with two
matching handsets.
Handset batteries
If handset LED flashes continuously when button is
pressed, the batteries need replacing. The hazard
lights will flash one 3 second pulse, instead of three
times upon arming vehicle.
Power up mode
The alarm system always remembers the state it was
left in when power was removed. If the alarm powers
up in an armed state and is subsequently triggered it
will give a warning that it will fully trigger unless
disarmed. This warning consists of short horn pulses
every two seconds for 15 seconds.
New born mode
When the ECU is first produced, it will be in its ’new
born’ mode. In this mode it will respond to any remote
of the right frequency. This mode will be cancelled
when the ECU has received ten valid handset signals
without power interruption.
Engine cranking
It is only possible to crank the engine when ignition is
ON and alarm disabled.

Handset Initialisation.
12. Turn OFF ignition or press handset to end test
procedure. Horn will sound as before to indicate
end of test mode.
