Advantages and disadvantages

Advantages of the security system:

Feedback. Implementation of this option is possible only if the communicator is located within the operating radius of the system. The key fob display displays information about the security status, activated protective zones, air temperature, and time.
Reliable protection of the protected object from hacking. The model implements proprietary technologies that prevent the possibility of interception of transmitted codes.
Great functionality. Many useful options allow the user to customize the operation of the anti-theft system according to their needs.
The service documentation includes a detailed installation guide for the system; it will allow you to correctly install and configure the device in accordance with the requirements.

Disadvantages specific to this model:

According to reviews from car owners, the “Slave” option is useless. If the turbo timer is working, the engine remains running, the buttons on the door handles will not function. Accordingly, it will not be possible to lock the locks. The consumer will have to use the remote control to close it.
Large communicator size for control. This drawback is usually noted by consumers who are accustomed to using tag keys.
To enable the turbo timer function or auto-start the engine, you will need to first activate the parking brake.

Advantages and disadvantages

According to reviews, the following advantages can be identified:

Availability of two-way communication. Thanks to this, the car owner can always know what condition the car is in. But only taking into account the fact that the remote control is within the range of the “signal”. The device shows whether the security mode is activated and which zones of the anti-theft system were activated if the siren was activated.
Remote motor start option. Particularly relevant in the winter season or if the driver is in a hurry.
Effective vehicle protection. Technologies that are used to protect code from interception make it possible to ensure reliable security of the machine.
Extensive functionality that allows you to customize the anti-theft installation to suit your needs and requirements.
A detailed installation and use manual will allow the car owner to independently install the system and configure it.

An overview of the system from user Pavel Korshunov is presented in the video.

Flaws:

Consumers note that the “Slave” mode is actually useless. When the turbo timer is operating, the car remains running; in this case, the buttons on the door handles do not work. This means that closing the machine is impossible. The car owner needs to lock the vehicle using the remote control.
The system control panel is large in size. If you are accustomed to a tag key and the fact that to open the car you do not need to perform any actions, but only approach it, then you will not like the large Sherkhan keychain.
To activate the turbo timer option or automatic engine start, the handbrake must be activated in advance in the car. Some consumers consider this a disadvantage. Although, this is a feature of the option.

Safety precautions

Safe installation rules:

The system is connected when the on-board network is de-energized, so the battery must first be disconnected. If this is not done, you can provoke a short circuit and failure of not only the alarm elements, but also the electronic devices of the car.
When connecting contacts, you cannot use the twisting method. The connection must be made by soldering using solder.
Places where wires are extended must be protected with heat-shrinkable tubing.
Cables must not be laid where moving body parts are installed.
After laying the cable, it is necessary to additionally wrap it with electrical tape, this will prevent their rapid wear.
All electrical alarm circuits must be protected with safety devices.

Step by step guide

Algorithm of actions:

The microprocessor module is being installed; for its location it is necessary to choose the most hidden place. The best option would be to mount the device behind the instrument cluster or center console; screwdrivers and wrenches are used to disassemble it. When installing, the module can be wrapped with foam rubber to prevent vibrations from negatively affecting it. The unit must be positioned with the connector facing down to prevent moisture from entering by dripping down the wires; plastic ties are used to secure it.
The siren is placed under the hood of the car in the most hidden place. It should not be installed near the intake manifold or hot engine parts, otherwise the siren will melt. The horn of the device should be directed downward to prevent moisture from collecting inside.
The temperature controller is installed on the cooling system pipe under the hood of the car. You can select any hose to which the thermostat is connected. The sensor must be fixed.
The shock and sensitivity controller is installed inside the car, preferably in its central part. Installation is carried out on a flat surface, or alternatively on the partition between the engine compartment and the passenger compartment. Rubber and plastic gaskets cannot be used, as this will disrupt the sensitivity parameter of the device, and the siren will sound for no reason.
A transceiver module is installed on the inner surface of the windshield or rear window. It should not be placed next to metal products or electronic devices; the distance between them must be at least 50 mm. The glass surface is first cleaned and degreased. The quality of the signal depends on the installation height of the transceiver module: the higher, the better.
The system status LED lamp is installed on the dashboard in the windshield area. This element must be positioned so that its work can be seen from the street.
A limit switch is placed on the hood; to place it, you must select the driest place. If additional switches are installed on the doors and trunk, then the decorative trim must be removed. The wires from these devices must be routed into the cabin.
After installing all components, they are connected in accordance with the electrical diagram.

Possible alarm malfunctions

Problems that may occur in the operation of the Sherhan system:

The system does not work due to a faulty key fob. The remote control may fail as a result of a low battery, in which case the power source must be replaced. A related symptom of this problem will be a decrease in the range of the remote control, as well as a lack of response to commands. Perhaps the reason is damage to the communicator, dirt or moisture getting inside. To solve the problem, you will need to disassemble the device and check the board - clean it and, if necessary, restore the operation of the buttons and contacts.
The alarm does not work due to incorrect installation or damaged wires. All elements of the security complex must be located in accordance with the specified requirements. If you place the transceiver module near electronic equipment, signal reception will be minimal. It is necessary to check the integrity of all wires and replace damaged electrical circuits if necessary.
An alarm going off for no reason may be due to an incorrect sensitivity setting of the shock controller. You need to change this parameter using special adjustments on the device body. It is necessary to make sure that the regulator is installed correctly and securely fixed in place.
Incorrect operation of the system due to a malfunction of the control unit. A detailed check of all the pads that connect the module, as well as the contact elements, is required. Oxidized connectors must be cleaned, and damaged ones must be replaced. If the problem is the effect of moisture on the unit, then the device must be dried.
The engine is blocked randomly and may not be unlocked. This problem is usually caused by a conflict between the standard immobilizer and the alarm blocker. To eliminate the problem, you need to either disable the immo or additionally install a bypass module.

Not programmable: reasons

The remote control began to work incorrectly. You decided to reprogram it yourself. Before doing this, do a few simple steps.

Find the instructions for the anti-theft system installed on your car.
Study the procedure carefully.
If there is no documentation, then try to find information on the Internet.

You have done all the steps according to the instruction manual, but the key fob does not work. It is not possible to flash the pager due to:

damage to the communicator;
random activation of the “Jack” mode;
control module failure.
