Features of the Scher Khan alarm system

Alarm system scher-khan magicar 6 with auto engine start
The system has a small body, into which the creators of Mobicar 1 tried to invest in their creation the maximum technological developments of recent years. Among the main distinctive functions it is worth highlighting:

  • Encoding capability. At the same time, data transfer is protected from third-party influence by confirming commands by the car owner;
  • Continuous two-way communication. Signal strength in city conditions is ensured by a given frequency of 868 MHz, which has low congestion;
  • Processing unit with many sensors. The system will report a change in the angle of inclination of the vehicle, an impact on the body, or movement of the vehicle;
  • Personalization. The sensitivity of each sensor can be adjusted based on operating conditions;
  • Possibility of autostart regardless of gearbox type and engine model. Starting is done using the key fob. There is a possibility of delayed start at a set time or at a set temperature;
  • Convenient external device (key fob). Equipped with a liquid crystal screen with Cyrillic support, which records readings from all sensors. For example, you can find out whether the trunk or hood is open, whether the ignition is on, the engine operating mode, the presence of two-way communication, and much more;
  • The security system has a unique PIN code, which the manufacturer sets at the factory. It is designed for emergency disabling of security functions and against unwanted registration of other key fobs in the device’s memory;
  • Slave mode allows you to control the Sherkhan Mobicar 1 system using a regular car key fob;
  • Implementation of CAN, K-LINE and LIN-BUS buses;
  • Turbo timer. This function automates the cooling process of the engine, provided that it is equipped with a turbine.

Anti-theft with bluetooth - why is it needed?

Alarms have long ceased to be purely security systems; now they are something more. Just like modern mobile phones are no longer just for calls. The latest know-how is a bluetooth module screwed to the signal. We found out what it gives.

Let's first decide: what do we generally expect from an additional anti-theft system when installing it on a car? That's right - we flatter ourselves with the hope that now it will become almost impossible for hooligans to open the car, which means that the things are intact, and an uninvited guest will not get behind the wheel.

No one keeps statistics on how often cars with additional security are stolen. Such incidents can be indirectly judged by car owner forums and their posts on social networks. The manufacturers themselves, of course, say that in almost 100% of cases they leave the owners of the car without signaling. Or with them, but due to the negligence of the car owners themselves: the attackers gained access to the key, the door was not closed, etc.

What should keep car thieves from being tempted? The main thing that modern security systems have is AES 128 encryption, such as, for example, Scher-Khan Mobicar. Advanced Encryption Standard is a symmetric block encryption algorithm adopted by the US government as a standard. Its 128-bit version is used in the financial sector, in the defense industry, and in the IT industry: even with modern equipment, choosing the correct password from all the options is not an easy task. That is why, most often, thefts in such cases are possible only after the attacker takes possession of the victim’s key or adds an additional key fob to the alarm system.

Meanwhile, alarms have long gone from being purely security systems, becoming something more. Just like modern mobile phones no longer just make calls. For example, auto start will help in frosty and cold weather, the GPS module tracks the location of the car, the tilt sensor will allow you to realize in time when your car is picked up by a tow truck (or maybe it’s not a tow truck at all?), and the emergency braking warning system (still was only on premium cars) will signal the danger of those driving behind, etc. These and other functions (there are up to seventy of them in modern alarms!) are accessible and customizable from a smartphone or key fob. But mobile phones, due to all sorts of interference and the peculiarities of network coverage, do not always “see” the car, and key fobs are too bulky to be carried around with them all the time.

In the first generation of the Scher-Khan Mobicar, the key fob had an external antenna, which, unlike the internal one, provided more

longer range on the less busy frequency of 868 MHz - up to 1000 m. In city conditions it’s not bad. But when automakers propose to get rid of keys altogether through a keyless entry and engine start system (which, as we have seen, is not always safe), the extra pendant on the key ring seems like a rudiment.

An elegant solution was found. What if the car owner’s smartphone serves as a key fob tag? This opportunity appeared in the more advanced Mobicar 2. How does it work? The security system now has a bluetooth module (version 4.1 with low power consumption and the same AES 128 encryption). The range is, of course, lower (up to 100 m due to Bluetooth Smart), but the cost is also lower, unlike GSM solutions. Control and settings here are also from a smartphone (like top models), but since data transfer occurs directly through the “blue tooth” and not through a server, contact is almost lightning fast.

One of the nice bonuses: when you activate the “immobilizer” function in the settings, it will be impossible to start the car if there is no smartphone nearby. Even if there is an ordinary keychain nearby. Another plus is automatic disarming and arming when the owner approaches or moves away. Convenient if your hands are full of bags and packages and it’s difficult to use a key fob or smartphone.

However, it was not without problems that the developer struggles with on a regular basis. For example, at first, to run a proprietary application on Android, you needed an operating system of at least version 6.0 - the signaling system simply refused to interface with older mobile phones (and there are many such devices in circulation). And bluetooth as a communication channel has a short range in urban environments. Let's say, during our test of the Scher-Khan Universe 3 with a GSM module, I left the editorial office by subway, started the engine of a car parked in an interception parking lot from a subway car, and at the exit had a heated interior. This trick won't work here.

On the other hand, abroad, smart functions had to be abandoned when using GSM - roaming is not cheap! And here, even over a short distance, you can send a signal to the car. However, the most important functionality - the same auto start in winter - can be implemented the old fashioned way, using a key fob.

Finally, about the price issue. The very presence of a Bluetooth module (and these are additional functions of an immobilizer, active tag/hands-free and protection against theft of a car key) is additionally priced at 1,500 rubles. Is it worth it? In my opinion, quite. For comparison: if Mobicar 2, including installation, costs 23 thousand rubles, then the “big brother” Universe 3 costs 45 thousand.

PS: Write in the comments whether your car has an additional security system installed and which of its functions (besides purely security ones, of course) you use, and which ones you consider pampering and excess.

Functions

Alarm scher-khan logicar 3 with automatic engine start

The security system reliably protects the car from intruders. It is possible to arm the car in delayed mode. The developers have provided that the alarm can be turned on in hidden mode. In this case, the system does not make sounds and there is no light signal.

Advantages and disadvantages

The Scher-Khan Magicar 8 security alarm responds to a signal at a distance of 2 km. By purchasing a security system, the car owner will have the opportunity to arm a second vehicle. The key fob operates in energy-saving mode; it is possible to synchronize several such devices.

The system is distinguished by a long warranty service for up to 5 years.

Its disadvantages include the fact that at low temperatures it can function intermittently. Compared to the 8S, the functionality of Magikar 8 looks outdated.

If you read the reviews of the owners, it will become clear that with self-installation there may be difficulties with the correct connection of the elements of the security system, so the work should be carried out strictly according to the instructions.

The engine started, but it doesn’t show on the key fob

If the car was started not from an additional key fob, but from the main one, and incorrect information is displayed on it, then you should look for an error made when installing the alarm system.

Check that each connector on the main module is connected correctly. If there is no malfunction, contact a specialist.


Anti-theft systems are constantly being improved, protecting your car from break-ins and theft.

This is a necessary security measure even for those drivers who leave their cars in garages or paid parking lots; even they do not always save them from theft.

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"

Keychain Scher-Khan Logicar 2

In addition, representatives still provide free consultations on installation, maintenance, and alarm prevention.

Scher-Khan Magicar II is also a budget model, but with a shorter range, only 800 meters.

Both modifications are installed on cars, minivans, and SUVs.

Classic connection type: relay, twisted pair, limit switches. Control method: key fob, remotely.

How to use the alarm

The attached instruction manual consists of sections:

  • description of the kit and technical capabilities;
  • communicator design;
  • how to use the alarm (control of basic and additional functions);
  • recording remote controls into memory and parameter programming algorithms.

Before using the equipment, you should study the documentation and then become familiar with the design of the remote control. If the control is incorrect, malfunctions and blocking of the motor may occur.

Designations of buttons and symbols on the key fob

The instructions included with Logicar 1 contain a description of the communicator. The buttons are designated by Roman numerals, the user operates the keys for a long or short time, and complex button presses are supported. The color display shows the silhouette of the vehicle indicating the protective zones, and additional icons are provided to explain the operating mode, the status of the communication channel and display additional functions.

Programming table

A communicator is used to configure operating parameters. The driver operates buttons I and IV or II and IV in a complex manner, ensuring the inclusion of menu sections. Then the IV button is pressed sequentially, the number of impacts corresponds to the function number according to the programming table. The parameter selection is performed by any of the communicator buttons, all steps are confirmed by siren signals and flashing lamps of external lighting equipment.

9Engine operating time when warming up5 minutes15 minutes25 minutes45 minutes

How to set the clock

The instruction manual has a section on setting the clock:

  1. Enter the setup mode by performing a long complex action on buttons I and III. If the action is correct, the word Pro9 will be activated on the display.
  2. Briefly press the I button to go to the clock settings section; the 4-digit field will flash on the screen.
  3. Set the hours and minutes by pressing keys I and II respectively.
  4. Write the resulting value into memory by pressing buttons II+III for 2 seconds.

How to enable autorun

Setting up autostart involves a procedure for reserving the neutral position of the gearbox lever (for manual transmission only). If the algorithm is executed correctly, an icon in the form of a key will appear on the key fob display. The programming method is configured when setting up the head unit (4 methods are supported). If the reservation is erroneous, start-up by pressing button II is impossible; the remote control emits a triple signal and displays the zone that caused the procedure to be prohibited.

To use automatic start by timer, you need to simultaneously press keys II and IV; the Timer indicator on the display will turn on. The repetition frequency is programmed by configuring the processing unit. To perform a daily start at a given time, it is necessary to program the clock and timing of the starter. If the start after 2,4 or 8 hours is connected, then setting the timer and clock is not required. Starting based on temperature is not provided, since the design does not have a sensor that turns on the starter at a given temperature.

The driver limits the number of restarts using a programmable function. The mode allows you to perform 5, 7 and 16 starts. It is possible to remove the limit on the number of repetitions. The value of the function is determined based on operating conditions and the wishes of the owner.

Setting up LOGICAR

The latest model is also easy to operate. To configure autorun, all you need to do is:

  1. Turn on the timer on the key fob by simultaneously pressing II and IV.
  2. Set the required time by entering the programming mode by long pressing I + IV.
  3. To activate the timed engine start, press IV 10 times in a row.
  4. You can set the time to turn on the motor once a day (I), at 8 hours (II), 4 hours (III) and with an interval of 2 hours (IV).
  5. After setting the parameters, turn on the timer by holding II and IV briefly.

The instructions for the car alarm describe in detail how to set the temperature start, as well as the engine warm-up settings. However, they are not very different from the models described above.

To make it easier to understand the features of Sherkhan alarms, watch the video on the topic:

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.

Specifications

Sherkhan Magikar 8 is installed on both passenger vehicles and trucks. The alarm is suitable for commercial vans, minivans and other vehicles.

If we compare this model with the previous ones, for example, Magicar 2, 5 or 7, then the eighth model is more advanced. But it is inferior to the next generation devices - 8H, as well as versions 10, 12 and 14.

If there are free funds, car owners can purchase the latest models, but the eighth version is also reliable. It will protect the vehicle from theft.

The Magicar 8 Scher alarm was updated in 2011. The developers added a number of functions and modernized those components that were considered obsolete.

For example, the eighth model uses the MAGIC CODE PRO 2 algorithm for encryption; it protects against scanning and electronic hacking.

Having a key fob in your hands, you can transmit a signal to the central control unit while being at a distance of up to 2000 m. The system works without failures even on the streets of big cities. By installing an alarm on 2 cars, you can control them from 1 key fob.

The alarm is equipped with a high quality transceiver. It is possible to connect the immobilizer mode. This allows the motor to be blocked after some time, even if the system has not been turned on.

Equipment

The package includes a processor unit; a key fob communicator is used for control. The Scher-Khan Magicar 8 car alarm has an additional key fob; it may be needed if the main one fails.

There is also a shock sensor, the developers have attached a CN 5 cable to it. The list includes a call sensor from the car, a CN 6 cable is connected to it.

The kit includes an antenna unit, a temperature sensor and other devices. The manufacturer supplied the alarm with operating instructions and installation instructions.

Main features, advantages and disadvantages

Description of the features and capabilities of the Sherkhan Logicar 3 anti-theft system:

  1. Protection of transmitted signals from scanning and interception. For this purpose, the developer Sherkhan has implemented dynamic pulse encryption technologies.
  2. Audible and visual confirmation of executed commands. If necessary, the user can turn off the warning signals of the key fob, as a result of which only the vibration signal will work. All data on the state of the anti-theft system is displayed on the communicator display in the form of indicators.
  3. The ability to start the vehicle engine automatically, without the presence of the user in the car. The power unit can start based on temperature readings, at time intervals, or based on an alarm clock.
  4. Monitoring voltage in the on-board network. If the operating value is less than 12 volts, the user will be warned about this by sending a message.
  5. Possibility of using all functions of the anti-theft system on vehicles equipped with a keyless entry system.
  6. CAN and K-Line buses are used to exchange data between signaling elements. This allows for faster information transfer and system response.
  7. Possibility of using Slave mode. The security complex will be controlled using a key from the car’s standard central locking system.
  8. Availability of vehicle protection mode when the engine is running.
  9. Possibility of using a personal password, with which the system will be turned on and off in emergency mode. The use of the code is relevant in case of loss or breakdown of the pager.
  10. Silent car security. When activated, the siren does not give alarm signals; only external lighting devices work.
  11. Possibility of controlling the central locking of the car from the ignition system. The device will lock when turned on and unlock when turned off.
  12. Automatic arming in case of accidental disabling of the protection mode.

Advantages of alarms according to user reviews:

  1. Long range of two-way communication. The range of the pager declared by the manufacturer is up to 500 meters in command transmission mode and up to 1500 m when receiving messages.
  2. Extensive functionality of the anti-theft complex.
  3. Availability of protection against automatic engine starting when the gear is engaged, if the car is equipped with a manual transmission.
  4. Screen backlighting, making it easier to use and set the alarm in the dark.

Cons of Sherkhan Logicar 3 and 2:

  • possibility of false positives;
  • insufficiently detailed instructions;
  • reduced range in the presence of radio frequency interference;
  • spontaneous blocking of individual circuits during the summer heat;
  • the ability to intercept an encrypted signal with a code grabber;
  • decrease in the range of the connector over time.

Ensuring comfortable use

Car alarm Mobikar 2 is simple and easy to use, designed for comfortable use by the car owner, thanks to the presence of such functions as:

  • automatic arming and disabling of the car alarm system, which is implemented when the car owner moves away and approaches, respectively, especially convenient to use at a time when it is not possible to get a smartphone or key fob out of your pocket;
  • emergency indication during emergency braking, which will reduce the risk of an accident. When a vehicle brakes sharply, the alarm switches to emergency mode, which attracts the attention of the driver behind, and he more quickly takes certain actions aimed at preventing an accident;
  • automatic engine start in the required mode, that is, at a certain time, at certain ambient temperatures or inside the cabin.

Among other things, the manufacturers of this alarm system promise to provide information support on technical issues throughout Russia and neighboring countries and provide a warranty for 5 years from the date of purchase.

Convenient control

Convenience in controlling the Mobicar 2 alarm system is realized due to the built-in Bluetooth smart module, which allows you to use your smartphone as a two-way key fob with a wide range of different functions. In order to use a smartphone in this capacity, you need to install a special Scher Khan Mobicar application on it and use it to manage all the capabilities of the security system, settings and find out the necessary data, which include:

  • sensitivity level and status of alarm sensors;
  • engine speed;
  • cabin temperature;
  • on-board network voltage;
  • fuel level and many others.

Sensitivity adjustment

You can adjust the sensitivity of the sensor using the regulators installed on it. The first is responsible for setting the warning zone, the second - the alarm zone.

How to reduce sensitivity level

To reduce the sensitivity of the sensor, rotate the adjustment knobs counterclockwise . You can determine the result by lightly hitting the body pillar. If necessary, you can turn the knob one more turn. After completing the adjustment, be sure to check the operation of both control zones.

Possible malfunctions and their elimination

Any possible malfunctions have their own error code, according to which the car owner can find a suitable way to solve the problem. If autostart does not work, the following malfunctions may occur:

  1. The motor is in activated state.
  2. Ignition circuit is disconnected.
  3. The door is not closed.
  4. The user has not configured the start backup features for the manual transmission.
  5. The handbrake lever is deactivated.
  6. The brake pedal is depressed.

If other errors are made, the indicator lights will blink 8 times. To fix this problem, you will need to seek help from a specialist, but do not try to solve it yourself.

Telematics systems

With the growing popularity of satellite security systems, Sherkhan introduced the Universe family of telematic alarms to the market, which, however, received mixed reviews from installers:

  1. The alarm system has flexibly programmable channels (flex channels), which, through the proprietary configurator, can be configured not only according to activation conditions, but also to set arbitrary pulse sequences for various events, which allows you to adapt the alarm system to almost any machine. However, programming these channels takes a fair amount of time, even in cases where the same functionality could be implemented with conventional analog outputs.
  2. The first-born of the series – Universe 1 – worked exclusively in Slave mode without additional validation, that is, to disable the expensive alarm system, the hijacker only had to imitate the signal from the standard radio key fob. The following releases (Universe 2.3) introduced classic wearable radio tags to confirm access to a car.
  3. To finalize the alarm setup, the installer had to register it on the developer’s website, which directly violates the basic principle of secrecy - no one other than himself should have access to the owner’s personal account.

Considering that the price of Universe at the time of its debut was superior to its competitors, while the alarm system, in fact, turned out to be a GPS beacon oversaturated with “features,” the brand’s reputation did not receive any advantages, taking into account the previous negative experience with the Logicar/Magicar systems. Further improvement of the series still could not oppose serious competition to the proven StarLine and Pandora systems, which maintain a virtual monopoly in the field of telematics services on the Russian market.

Characteristics of the Scher-Khan brand alarm

The SCHER-KHAN alarm brand, well-known in the automotive market, owned by the Russian company MEGA-F, has been developing equipment to protect cars from theft for more than ten years. During this time, the manufacturer has managed to accumulate considerable experience and earn recognition from consumers, so that today it can well be considered one of the leaders of the Russian market.

For the first time, alarm systems manufactured under the Sherkhan brand appeared on the market back in 1998, and this immediately became a landmark event for domestic motorists. First of all, the alarm system manufacturer Sherkhan is notable for the fact that during its creation no software developments or components from other manufacturers were used - everything was created practically from scratch.

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:

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