What are the benefits of an alarm?

This alarm has many advantages.

One of these benefits is protecting the system from scanning.

This will help protect the car from illegal scanning of the car system, and in the future from hacking. After all, there are quite a few cases of burglary. Even if you leave the car with the engine running, the alarm will still be turned on and will take care of the safety of your car.

The next advantage of this alarm is that the car is automatically armed.

It may happen that when leaving, you forgot to arm your car. The alarm itself takes care of this. After some time of inactivity of your car’s engine, the alarm system will automatically protect it.

And this is very convenient, because everyday life is full of various activities and a person becomes more distracted. Therefore, having such an alarm system, you have nothing to worry about.

How to install an alarm?

Installation is done like this:

The battery turns off. This is required to deactivate the voltage in the on-board network. Otherwise, during installation, you may accidentally short the contacts on one of the devices to ground, which will lead to breakdown. To disconnect voltage from the battery, disconnect the cables with terminals.
Install the processor module in the cabin. Choose a location for installation so that the device is inaccessible to a criminal if the car is broken into. It is best to install the device behind the control panel; this place is the most difficult to access, and you will also have to disassemble the center console. Remove the steering wheel and dashboard trim, disconnect the plugs with wires from the device. Determine a free space behind the dashboard and install the unit in it. To eliminate the negative impact of vibrations on the device while driving, the module can be wrapped with foam rubber.
At the next stage, a siren is installed; it must be placed under the hood. Choose a location that will be least exposed to moisture and high temperatures. Installation of the device near the cylinder block is not allowed; subsequently the siren will melt and will not be able to perform its functions.
The shock sensor is mounted in the passenger compartment. It cannot be placed under the bottom; the controller will quickly fail as a result of exposure to dirt and moisture. Install the sensor in the center of the body, this will allow it to effectively detect impacts on the car from all sides. You can place the device on the partition that separates the engine compartment and the interior.
Install the antenna on the inside of the windshield. You can mount the transceiver under glass on the dashboard, but it is advisable that this element be located as high as possible in the cabin. This will ensure efficient reception and transmission of signals. Please note that the quality of the pulses is affected by the presence of metal objects near the antenna. It is advisable that they be located no closer than 4 cm from the device.
Install the limit switch to the hood. After installation, route the connection cable to the switch into the car interior.
Install the service key. The Valet button must be disguised, since it can be used to disable Sherkhan Logicar 1. You can hide the key in a bundle with standard wiring.

Communicator binding

Pager programming:

Turn off the protective mode of Sherkhan Logicar 1. With the ignition off, press the button located on the body of the diode element; the button is pressed for two seconds. The car's lights should blink once.
Then within five seconds you need to click on the button again. The lights will blink twice if no password is used. If there is a code, then the lighting devices will blink once.
If you use a password, then you need to enter its value. The lights in the car will flash twice.
After five seconds, the diode light will light continuously. This suggests that the consumer can register a new remote control. In total, Sherkhan Logicar 1 allows you to link no more than three communicators.
Within five seconds, click on the first key of the communicator. The procedure for binding the remaining remote controls is repeated in the same way.

Autorun programming

How to enable autorun:

Using the settings table, move option 2-13 to position 3. Thanks to this, you can change the assignment of channels for controlling the starter mechanism and ignition.
Using the remote control, set the time interval from the moment the starter is activated until the moment the engine starts. It is recommended to set the closest parameter from the table to option 2-20. If you are setting up a function for a car with a diesel engine, then you should specify the time interval for 2-21. When setting the parameter on vehicles equipped with an ignition system with a Start/Stop button, it is necessary to adjust option 2-25. If the vehicle is equipped with a turbocharged unit, then function 2-24 should be adjusted.
At the next stage, you need to configure several parameters that will ensure the correct operation of the function. We are talking about the time it takes to warm up the engine and the operation of the car's lights during automatic start. You also need to set the activation interval for the timer option and make adjustments to the number of engine startup cycles. If the engine is not working, then there is no point in draining the battery by endlessly trying to start it. Typically, specialists configure four start-up cycles.
After setting the parameters, click on buttons 2 and 4 of the communicator at the same time. This will activate the timer.
After setting the time, you need to press the fourth key ten times in a row. This will allow you to adjust the parameters. When the settings are determined, you need to click on keys 2 and 4. This will activate the option.

Repeat the setup steps in Sherkhan LogiCar 1 to disable the autorun option.

Modes

Description of the modes in which Sherkhan Logicar 1 can operate:

Activation of protection is carried out by pressing the first key; to deactivate, use button 2 of the communicator. When disconnected, the locking devices on the doors will open and the starter mechanism and motor will be unlocked. If the siren beeps six times during a shutdown, this indicates that an alarm has been triggered. Its operation is due to the activation of limit switches on the doors or hood. When the siren emitted five beeps when turned off, the system was triggered by a command from the shock controller. If the siren gives four signals, this indicates that the warning zone of the sensitivity controller has been activated.
To activate the car search mode in the parking lot, you need to click on button 1 of the communicator with the protection function turned on. The car's lights will flash five times and the pager will emit one melodic signal.
To open the tailgate, you need to hold down key 3 on the communicator for two seconds. If the security mode is activated, it will automatically turn off, but the door locks will not unlock. You can configure the trunk to open with the door locks unlocked.

Basic faults

Errors and problems that the user may encounter:

Communicator failure. Failure to operate the pager may be due to low power supplies, so when the first problems appear in transmitting commands, check the battery. If it sits down, it needs to be changed. Open the back cover and replace the power supply, observing the polarity. If the problem is mechanical damage to the communicator or exposure to moisture, you need to disassemble the case and assess the condition of the board. Damaged components such as capacitors and contacts must be replaced and re-soldered, and contact elements must be cleaned in case of oxidation.
Damage to wires. During prolonged use, electrical circuits may be damaged, especially if they were laid in the area of moving parts of the body. Diagnostics will require the help of an electrician. If you have experience and skills, you can use a tester to find damaged wires. Electrical circuits must be replaced regardless of the nature of the damage.
Failure of one of the components. This could be a shock sensor, a processor module, or an antenna adapter. It is necessary to diagnose the contacts on these devices, and clean the oxidized connectors. For more serious problems, detailed diagnostics of the devices will be required. You can fix control unit malfunctions yourself if they are related to the hardware. When water gets on the device, it must be disassembled and dried. But in the case of software failures, it is recommended to entrust troubleshooting to experts, since the unit may need to be reflashed.
False positives. This problem is caused by errors made when adjusting the shock controller. In accordance with the instructions and installation diagram, it is necessary to adjust the sensor. It is necessary to reduce the sensitivity so that the controller is not triggered by passing cars. But the sensitivity threshold cannot be set to a minimum, since this will lead to the fact that Sherkhan Logicar 1 will not detect impacts on the car body at all.
