Autostart Sherkhan Magikar 5: how to set up, how to start the car from the key fob

To autostart Sherkhan 5 from the key fob, you must press and hold for at least 2 seconds button II, as shown in the figure.

In this case, the car will forcibly go into security mode when the engine is running. The doors will automatically go into closing mode, after which the system will set to engine start mode. If the engine starting process is successful, then the key fob will display information about the time remaining until the engine stops running in minutes and seconds, and smoke from the exhaust pipe. This time can be programmed in modes of 15, 5, 25 minutes or 45. To make a trip without stopping the engine within the programmed autostart duration, you need to open the driver's door, then install the key in the ignition switch, turn it to the “Ignition On” position. The period of time between opening the door and turning on the ignition mode is limited to 20 seconds. This event is intended to increase the vehicle's protection against theft during the warm-up period. If within 20 sec. The ignition will not be turned on and the engine will turn off.

If starting the engine was unsuccessful, the security system will try to start again. After the 3rd unsuccessful attempt, the car alarm will go into standby mode. To restore the autostart function, it is necessary to diagnose the engine and main vehicle systems. Possible reasons why the engine autostart does not work:

low battery charge;
extremely low engine temperature in the cold season;
immobilizer problems that limit remote engine starting;
malfunction of the vehicle's electrical equipment;
there is no control over engine starting (the engine does not start, but there is smoke on the indicator, so a second attempt to start is not made);
failure of other internal combustion engine systems associated with difficulty starting.

If the engine starts with the key, but the remote start does not work, it is necessary to reprogram the autostart system, reducing the start frequency and increasing the temperature control. Perhaps the problem will be fixed.

When starting the engine, the security system will signal with the following signals.

The car is not set to autostart if, when it starts:

the ignition is in the “On” position;
one of the doors is open;
the engine is already running;
The “reserve” mode is not activated in cars with manual transmission.

If the engine is successfully started, the devices will signal:

In the case when the engine automatically stops, the devices generate signals:

Programming autorun time intervals

The car alarm provides programming of time intervals (autostart time) after two, 4 and 8 hours. The choice of a specific option is made depending on the operating conditions of the vehicle, the condition of the engine and battery. To start the programming operation, press and hold buttons I and II simultaneously. Next, you need to perform the following operations in the following sequence:

Turn off the “timer” option (if it is activated) by briefly pressing buttons II and IV simultaneously. The “timer” on the display should be deactivated.
Press the IV button thirteen times. Each entry is confirmed by one siren signal.
Wait until the siren gives 13x audio confirmation of the entered information.
Use the key fob buttons to confirm the selected autostart mode. Button II corresponds to autostart mode after 8 hours, III – after 4 hours, IV – after two hours.
Set it to autorun by turning on the “timer” mode by briefly pressing buttons II and IV simultaneously.

Description and characteristics

The processing unit is connected directly to the car battery and runs on 12 volts. Its main function is to control the car, receive and transmit information from sensors.

The key fob switch is used to control the system by the user. In particular, setting a PIN code, programming functions, as well as enabling and disabling vehicle protection.

The equipment is supplied with an additional key fob and detailed instructions. There is also a manual for both operation and installation of the system. However, it is not recommended to install the system yourself. It’s better to ask the car service technicians to supply it.

Main functions

The key fob switch is designed to directly influence the system by the user. It is equipped with four control buttons and a display that displays all the necessary current information.

With it, you can turn the system on and off, as well as program the main unit. In this case, the power source is only one AAA battery.

The choice of a particular command is displayed on the screen and is also accompanied by sound and vibration. The display backlights automatically when buttons are pressed, as well as when an alarm signal is received.

The functionality of the electronic key fob also includes:

MAGIC CODE - protection against interception of encrypted data;
displaying the current battery charge level;
displaying the voltage level of the car battery;
possibility of remote engine start, including delayed start.

You can also check what the temperature is in the cabin at the moment and see the current time.

The key fob has a special signal reception range and is capable of functioning at a distance of up to one and a half meters from the car. The processor unit is responsible for directly protecting the vehicle and reacting to pressing the key fob buttons.

Its main functions are:

automatic engine start on command;
indication of the delay time for turning on accessories;
disabling vehicle PIN code protection in the absence of a key fob;
gaining access to the salon using PIN2;
control of the car's central locking and trunk lock;
alarm management;
Possibility of protecting the car when the engine is running.
The settings allow you to start the engine in the following ways:
with a frequency of two, four or eight hours;
every day at a certain time;
by analyzing vehicle indicators - temperature or voltage.

Another available function is programming the maximum and minimum starter rotation time, as well as setting it to increase as the number of starting attempts increases.

PIN codes are set by the user and used for emergency access to the vehicle.

Technical specifications

This system can be built into any car, regardless of the type of engine and gearbox. It is possible to start engines equipped with a turbine.

Alerts are divided into three types:

siren sound – lasts for thirty seconds, sounds continuously;
optical - power one hertz, also lasts thirty seconds, works on two channels, is emitted intermittently;
via a radio channel - a range of up to one and a half meters, lasts one hundred milliseconds at a frequency of 0.35 hertz, sounds intermittently.

The exact range of your switch depends on a number of factors, including obstructions, interference, certain weather conditions, and charge level.

The system is controlled in one of the following ways:

remotely using a key fob;
from the ignition key;
due to the activation of the driver call sensor;
as a reaction to certain sensor signals.

Electrical circuits are protected by fuses, resistors, and transistors. Additionally equipped with varistors that protect against voltage surges and interference. The functioning of the system even when the polarity of the power sources is changed is ensured by diodes.

There are contact sensors that respond to the opening of doors or turning the ignition switch. In this case, the system issues an alarm without the ability to turn it off.

The system also reacts to impacts by issuing a signal lasting up to 30 seconds in one cycle. All radio transmissions of the key fob occur over a secure channel using special coding.

The processing unit is characterized by the following parameters:

work at voltage from 9 to 18 volts;
current allowed is from 20 to 35 milliamps;
operates at temperatures ranging from -40 to +85 degrees Celsius;
total weight of the device is 270 grams;
dimensions 150x120x32 millimeters.

Reprogramming autostart mode based on interior temperature

To correctly activate autostart based on the interior temperature characteristics, it is necessary to activate timed start modes (1-13) before enabling the programming option. Next, you need to switch to programming mode by long pressing the corresponding key fob buttons I + II. Then the following operations are performed:

Turn off the “timer” mode (if it is activated), as described in the previous paragraph.
Methodically press the IV button 21 times, after which the siren will sound.
Wait for the siren to sound 21 times in a row.
Set the required autostart temperature mode: button IV – plus 60 degrees Celsius, III – minus 25, II – minus 15.
Activate the "timer" mode.

Preparing for work

How to enable autostart on Sherkhan 5 is presented below, but first the alarm must be prepared for operation. Before you start using the key fob, you will need to perform certain actions aimed at activating it correctly. The fact is that in order to maintain a full battery charge, manufacturers supply the power supply separately from the main device.

To install the battery in the provided compartment, carefully remove the latch that holds the cover of the corresponding compartment in the closed position. As a rule, this operation does not cause any problems, since the body and other elements of Sherkhan 5 are made of high-quality and high-strength materials.

The next step involves moving the key fob cover away from the antenna and placing the battery in the compartment, observing the polarity. After adequate installation of the specified part, a characteristic melodic sound should be heard, after which it is necessary to replace the cover and latch.

Warm-up programming

The warm-up time can be set at fixed intervals of 5, 15, 25 minutes or 45 minutes. To do this, activate function 1-12 in mode II. The programming input is entered by long pressing I + II, after which the following operations are performed:

The IV button is pressed twelve times (accompanied by a sound signal).
The siren beeps 12 times – confirmation.
The engine operating time is selected by activating buttons I (5 minutes), II – 15, III – 25 or IV – 45 minutes.

Why doesn't the car start with the Scher-Khan Universe pager?

Anti-theft systems Sherkhan Universal 1, 2, 3 are equipped with voice control and remote control via GSM communication. To enable autorun, do the following.

Press the # button for a few seconds. In this case, the engine should be running and the parking brake should be engaged.
Remove the key from the ignition.
Arm the alarm and press # for two seconds. The car should start with the key fob.

But there are times when the car does not start from autostart. The starter turns, but the engine is silent. This does not depend on the brand of the car; it can happen with both imported cars (Ford Focus, Hyundai Solaris) and domestic ones. Robot or mechanical box. This may happen for the following reasons:

low battery charge;
low engine temperature in winter;
immobilizer malfunction preventing remote start;
problems with the electrical equipment of the car;
breakdown of the systems responsible for starting the engine.

If autostart fails, check whether the car starts with the key. If yes, then in this situation, reprogramming the autostart with a decrease in the startup frequency and an increase in temperature will help.

Autorun problems

Some cars experience the following autostart problems:

When the ignition is turned off, the car does not stall. To disable autostart, you need to open and close the doors. To correct the problem, function 1-16 (button option II) is required. In this case, to turn off the engine, you must switch the key to the “Ignition Off” position.
Enabling the “Valet” mode after emergency disarming of the alarm system (zzzz symbols on the key fob). To fix the problem, you need to simultaneously press buttons I+III for a long time (more than 2 seconds).
If you urgently need to turn off the car using the key fob during the autostart period, you need to press button II for a long time.

Instructions for Mobicar models

The following key combination will enable autorun.

Press button 3 for a while. An image of smoke will appear on the screen, indicating the engine is starting.
The autostart time will countdown. Briefly press 3 and you will stop the timer.
The mode is exited by long pressing key 3.

You can also set the autorun time manually by carefully reading the instructions.

general information

ATTENTION! A completely simple way to reduce fuel consumption has been found! Don't believe me? An auto mechanic with 15 years of experience also didn’t believe it until he tried it. And now he saves 35,000 rubles a year on gasoline! Read more". The Scher Khan Magikar 5 alarm can be installed in cars:

The Scher Khan Magikar 5 alarm can be installed in cars:

With any gearboxes;
Equipped with engines running on gasoline and diesel fuel;
Having a network voltage of 12 V.

Information about the state of the vehicle systems is transmitted as follows:

Signals from sensors located in the main devices of the car are transmitted to the cabin computer;
The computer converts the information and transmits it to the car owner’s key fob;
The display on the key fob visually displays the necessary information that allows the driver to know about the properties of the vehicle system.

You can influence the software remotely, since the radio signal extends over 1.5 kilometers.

How to install an alarm?

The systems must be installed and connected as follows:

The battery is turned off to remove voltage from the on-board network.
The microprocessor device is being installed. To do this, you will need to remove the interior lining and place the unit in a hidden place. During installation, the device is securely fixed to prevent the negative impact of vibrations on the module. It is recommended to place the unit under the dashboard or in the free space behind it.
The siren is being installed under the hood of the car. The location must be chosen so that there are no sources of moisture or high temperatures nearby. The siren is mounted with the horn down to prevent moisture from accumulating inside. After installation, you need to make sure that the device and its wires will not be accessible from under the car.
An antenna module with a diode indicator is installed. These elements are installed on the inner surface of the windshield; it must first be cleaned and degreased. Fixation is carried out using glue or double-sided tape.
A temperature controller and a shock sensor are being installed. These elements are installed inside the car. Wires for connecting them are laid under a plastic lining.
Limit switches are installed on the doors, as well as the luggage compartment and hood. The wires from them must be laid so that they do not come into contact with moving parts of the body. Cables are laid under the cladding.
A service key is installed in the car interior. Its installation must be done in a hidden place, but the consumer must have access to the button from the driver's seat. The button can be disguised by wrapping it with black electrical tape.
At the final stage, all components are connected to the microprocessor module. An engine lock relay is connected to the ignition switch.

Peculiarities

A computer installed in the car collects signals from sensors. They are mounted in the main systems of the car. After processing the received data, the on-board computer transmits the information to its owner’s key fob. The remote control has a liquid crystal display.

This allows the driver to understand the current state of his car’s systems. If necessary, it issues commands to the software from a distance. The signal range in open areas is about 1.5 km. The car should be parked in an open area. Houses, tree branches and other obstacles can delay the signal and reduce its range. The driver must see his car.

Possible faults

What problems can a car owner encounter:

The engine does not start when the autostart function is turned on. Diagnostics will help you find out why this happens. First, check if the remote start feature is enabled. The option to start the internal combustion engine based on temperature may be activated. If the difference between the readings of the thermometer and the temperature sensor is at least one degree, the system will not start the engine.
The alarm doesn't work. If you cannot enable or disable the security mode, first of all the condition of the battery in the key fob is diagnosed. When the battery is dead, it must be replaced. You can tell when the battery is low by reducing the range of signal reception and transmission. Try to approach the car close to the side where the antenna adapter is installed and press the key fob button. If the “alarm” does not work, change the battery. When the battery is normal, you need to disassemble the key fob and assess its condition. If there are traces of moisture, the device must be dried, but it should not be left under prolonged exposure to high temperatures. You also need to check the condition of the transceiver. Practice shows that damage to the contacts on its connector or broken wires most often contribute to such problems.
The alarm goes off for no reason. This error may be due to incorrect operation of the control module or incorrect settings of the shock sensor. First, we recommend adjusting the sensitivity controller. Usually such problems are associated with it. Make sure the sensor is securely fixed in its installation location. If this is the case, then the control module is checked. It is necessary to diagnose its connectors and contacts. If the plug is oxidized, the contacts must be cleaned. We recommend dismantling the unit and disassembling it. When there are traces of moisture or damage on the module, the device must be repaired. Moisture must be carefully removed with a napkin. If liquid gets on the board, it is better to leave it for a while near a battery or other heat source.
The security mode does not turn off, the car engine is blocked and will not start. The reason should be sought in the control unit. Water could get on it, causing the device to malfunction.

For what reasons may the automatic start of the internal combustion engine not work:

the engine has already started, the warning light will blink once, and the key fob display will display error code 01;
the ignition in the car is activated, the hazard warning lights will blink twice, the fault code on the remote control is 02;
The car door is not locked, error 03, the car's turning lights will blink three times;
autostart will not be possible if the trunk door or hood is open, the warning light will blink four times, the fault code is 04;
another reason - the car owner has not completed the start reservation procedure for a manual transmission, the turning lights will blink five times, the fault combination is 05;
The handbrake lever is turned off, error code 06, the warning light will blink six times;
remote start of the power unit will be impossible when the brake pedal is depressed, the key fob display will display fault code 07, the turning lights will blink seven times;
if the reason lies in the engine itself (malfunction of the power unit or ignition system), then the error code on the remote control screen will be 08, and the turning lights will blink 8 times.

Independently performing any repair work related to the alarm system is only possible if the system’s warranty period has expired.

Other useful features

The Sherkhan Magikar 5 alarm system has many useful functions. The operating instructions will allow the driver to choose modes that are useful for themselves.

The silent security mode transmits an alarm signal only to the car owner's key fob. The burglar thinks that the car does not have an alarm system. This allows you to catch him red-handed.

If the driver has small children, you can turn on the safe ride mode. When the car starts moving, all doors are locked.

There is a turbo timer function. This mode allows the engine to run for some time even when the ignition key is turned off and the car is in security mode. This is necessary for cars with a turbine. This mode increases the operating time of the equipment.

Keychain - communicator

The main key fob supplied with the kit has the following operating features:

thanks to the four-button circuit, it is possible to control all functions of the system;
the signal from the key fob is encoded using a special Magic Code scheme, which prevents interception and recording;
built-in backlit display provides visual display of all operations;
when working with the system, the key fob confirms commands with a sound or vibration signal;
Additional information from sensors can be displayed on the screen;
the key fob is the main means for programming automatic start;
The key fob is used to configure system parameters.

After unpacking and installing the system on the car, you need to bring the main key fob into working condition. To do this, you will need to remove the dielectric gasket installed between the contact pads of the battery and the key fob power circuit.

Open the battery compartment cover. To do this, open the latch and slide the cover to the bottom of the key fob.
Remove the battery from the compartment.
Remove the gasket located along the entire length of the element.
Return the battery locally, observing the polarity of the installation, which is shown on the sticker. If there is no marking, remember that the negative pole of the battery is always directed towards the antenna of the Sherkhan Magikar key fob.
Close the lid and snap the latch.

User guide

The system comes complete with an instruction manual in Russian, which outlines all the design features of the Scher Khan Magicar 5 system, tips for setup and use.

PIN Programming

To configure the code you need:

Turn on the ignition and open the driver's door.
Hit the call sensor ten times with slight force, with a break between blows of no more than 1.5 seconds. When there is an impact, the sensitive element in the sensor will begin to signal by turning on the green diode.
After the last hit, the diode will start flashing red. If this does not happen, then errors were made in the procedure and it should be started again.
If the diode is turned on normally, it is necessary to strike the sensor several times (the number corresponds to the first digit of the code). Wait until the number is confirmed by flashing the diode (red, turns on 1.5 seconds after the last strike).
After confirmation, the diode will return to its previous flashing mode. At this time, the second digit should be entered.
The third and fourth digits are entered in the same way.
After recording the last digit, the system will give a single short signal with a siren and an alarm.

How to open a car using a code?

In order to open the car by entering a code, you will need:

Apply ten light blows to the sensor at intervals of no more than 1.5 seconds. Each blow should cause the green diode to blink briefly.
Wait until the red diode starts blinking and apply the number of blows to the sensor corresponding to the first digit of the code. Confirmation of the correctness of the input will be flashes of a red diode with a different frequency. After this, it will switch to private flashing mode, which is a signal to enter the second digit.
Enter the rest of the code data in the same way. If the entry is successful, the system will turn off and the door lock will be unlocked. If an error occurs, the procedure must be started again.

Magikar 5 allows only five input attempts within 30 minutes. After this, the system is blocked for a day and can be turned off during this period of time only by a signal from the key fob.

Enabling security mode

In order to put the electronic system into operating security mode, you must briefly press the first button on the main or additional key fob. When setting, the turn signal lamps turn on and a short signal is given by the siren and buzzer of the key fob. A closed lock icon is displayed on the screen. The shock detection sensor turns on half a minute after the system is turned on.

Enabling security using key fobs

It is possible to disable the security by pressing the first button of any of the key fobs, which will produce a double alarm with lamps and a siren. The icon (open lock) will change on the display.

Deactivating the alarm from the key fob

The system can operate in passive mode, when security is activated half a minute after all doors and covers on the body are closed. If the doors do not open when the system is turned off, it will automatically arm. To use the passive mode, it should be activated by briefly pressing the second and third buttons of the main key fob.

Passive operating mode is active (the Passive icon is lit on the display)

If the doors and trunk lid were opened and closed, the system will turn on the protection half a minute after the lock of the last element is latched.
