Tomahawk TZ 9030: keychain

The Tomahawk TZ 9030 security system comes complete with two key fobs.

1. The main remote control is equipped with a liquid crystal display and 5 control keys. Information about the system status is displayed here in the form of icons. The icons on the screen contain encrypted data about the enabled mode and reflect the actual state of the OS.
2. The spare key fob uses a light diode as an indication. Depending on the state of the device, a red or green light is reflected on the module.

The range of both elements is limited to 1200 meters. This distance is relevant for fields or open areas. In an urban environment, the radius can be reduced to 30 m.

The main difference is that the main pager Tomahawk TZ 9030 is equipped with the “F” key, which allows you to perform more functions and program some options. The spare remote control is intended only for use of already calibrated options.

The visual difference between the transmitters can be seen in the photo.

Setting up autorun

Setting up autostart involves programming the neutral position of the gear selector handle (for a manual transmission). As soon as the parking brake is set, the security button is pressed for a long time. After the signal is given, the key is released and then pressed down again (briefly). When the key is removed from the lock, the motor continues to run; the stop occurs after activation of the security mode or after the turbo timer has expired. Recommendations for setting parameters are given in the instructions for use.

By command

The Tomahawk TW 9030 alarm system allows you to start the engine from a distance. To start, you will need to perform a long and short press on the key marked with the unlocked lock symbol. The power unit operates within a time limit pre-programmed in the central module of the complex. The owner can stop the engine early by pressing the keys again.

By time

To set a timed auto-warming, you need to pre-program the repeat frequency in the central unit. Then, successive presses are made on the key fob buttons, marked with a lock label with an open bracket and a locked lock icon (long and short). A text icon is activated on the display, the engine starts and warms up within the programmed time range.

How to adjust by temperature

How to install?

Installation and connection of the security complex does not require special configuration equipment or knowledge of the intricacies of alarm programming. The Tomahawk TZ 9020 manual contains a section devoted to installation and configuration. The owner can install the complex independently, guided by the recommendations in the documentation.

Installation Requirements

Description of general installation requirements:

1. Work is carried out with the battery disconnected. If the car has a standard audio system or airbags, then you should clarify the specifics of disconnecting the battery. Similar information is available in the vehicle's operating instructions.
2. The blocks of the security complex are located secretly (except for the antenna and control diode).
3. There should be no sources of moisture or heat near the elements of the security complex.
4. It is advisable to install electronic alarm components at a distance from the electronic components of the car. This will help avoid the possible negative impact of devices on each other.
5. The transceiver antenna is installed at a distance from the central alarm unit and electronic components of the car.

Sequencing

Approximate installation sequence:

1. The central device is located inside the car. The standard location is the dashboard or the interior of the center console. The installed block should not interfere with the movement of rods and control levers.
2. The antenna is mounted on the windshield at the top. The antenna unit should not come into contact with metal parts of the body and standard wiring harnesses. The cable is laid behind the plastic interior elements. When laying, you must ensure that there are no kinks or pinches in the wires.
3. The siren is usually mounted in the engine compartment, with the horn facing down. When using an active device, you must have access to the power switch keyhole. Wires are inserted into the cabin through standard holes in the engine panel.
4. The limit switches are located on the steel body elements inside the perimeter of the sealing edge. It is prohibited to install limit switches on the surface of gutters and at points where water accumulates. During operation, it is recommended to clean the devices from dirt and corrosion and apply a protective layer of lubricant.
5. The impact sensor is located along the axis of the car as close as possible to the center of the cabin. The sensor is attached with self-tapping screws or double-sided tape. The user should have easy access to the sensor to adjust sensitivity.
6. If an additional sensor is used, it is located in the cabin. The installation location must guarantee quick access to the product for configuration.
7. The diode is installed on the visible part of the instrument panel or the trim of the front roof pillars.
8. The Override button is mounted relatively discreetly. The owner must have access to it. When pressing the key, the user must clearly see the diode, as this is necessary for configuration.

Device connection diagram

Connecting an alarm system consists of several steps:

• installation of the power connector harness;
• connecting the main connector;
• connecting the central locking block;
• installation of additional device wires.

Purpose of power connector wires.

Purpose of the wires included in the main harness.

When connecting the power wires (red and black), it is necessary to ensure the most reliable contact. The red cable is tightly twisted with the standard wires of the system, the junction is connected by soldering and insulated. The cross-section of the standard wiring must ensure the supply of rated operating current, i.e., at least 10 A. The negative wire is attached to the standard bolts or ground nuts. To ensure reliable contact, it is recommended to install a terminal clamp on the cable.

When connecting Tomahawk TZ 9020 wires, the installation of additional diodes may be required. For example, many Hyundai models, when the parking brake is applied, supply a positive pulse to the wire to the limit switch. In this case, the alarm is connected directly to the limit switch or to the instrument panel, but through diode isolation.

The purpose of the lock control harness wires is indicated in the table.

Connecting other wires:

1. The shock detection sensor is equipped with a wire that supplies power and transmits signals from two sensitivity zones.
2. The antenna module is connected with a separate five-pin wire.
3. Install the two-pin wire of the setting button.
4. If it is planned to use an additional sensor as part of the system, then it is connected to a separate four-pin block. The wiring layout is similar to the shock sensor.

The general layout of the connectors on the Tomahawk 9020 central device is shown below.

Setting up the shock sensor

After completing the connection, you need to adjust the sensitivity of the shock sensor:

1. Set the potentiometer controls to the minimum sensitivity value.
2. Gradually increase the sensitivity of the warning zone, while simultaneously patting the body with your palm (with security on).
3. After setting the warning threshold, set the value of the main sensitivity zone. When adjusting, you must remember that increased sensitivity of the sensor leads to an increase in the number of false alarms.

Programming Guidelines

The head unit is configured using a key fob and a service button.

Work algorithm:

1. Turn off the ignition.
2. Press the service button to select the required menu (five presses – system setup, six – autorun).
3. Turn on the ignition. The siren will emit five or six beeps, indicating it is ready to set up.
4. Press the service button to select a function (according to the tables). The option number is confirmed by a siren, every fifth signal will be long.
5. Select a value by pressing the key fob buttons.

Settings table

If the owner made errors during programming, then it is possible to reset the settings to factory settings:

1. Press the service button nine times (with the ignition off).
2. Turn on the ignition, listen to nine short signals from the siren.
3. Press the settings button again.
4. After a single siren signal, press button A1 on any registered key fob. The settings will be reset.

Where is the Override button?

Overide's service key looks like a small barrel with a wire coming out of one side and a button on the top. Typically the key is orange or red. If the element was replaced with a third-party analogue, the shape and color may be unpredictable.

The location of the part is also difficult to pinpoint. During installation, the service key is hidden in a secret place known exclusively to the owner of the car. This is necessary due to the importance of the organ - if there is access to it, thieves can quickly steal the car.

The most common installation locations:

• glove box;
• behind the dashboard;
• handbrake or gearbox niche;
• in the lower part of the dashboard (near the pedals or at the passenger’s feet).

Version Tomahawk TZ 9030 24v

To increase device sales, the company produces Tomahawk TZ 9030 security systems in two types of designs - 12 and 24 V. Fundamentally, the device circuits differ only in the voltage of the on-board network. The functionality, number and principle of operation of the functions are completely identical.

The only difference is that the 24 volt version is used on trucks.

Tomahawk TZ 9030: standard settings

The manufacturer provides the ability to reset the settings to the factory state. This is necessary during system failures or firmware glitches, when the complex behaves incorrectly or there is no connection with a working key fob.

Shiga Tomahawk TZ 9030 low voltage

The Tomahawk TZ 9030 device drains the battery during automatic engine start for a standard reason. To operate under such conditions, the machine requires more voltage than with a normal key start. This is justified by the need to power the security complex itself.

Replacing or charging the battery will help eliminate the breakdown.

Doesn't close the door

Failure to close the car is caused by a system failure. If, before the malfunction occurred, the vehicle was hit or hit by serious bumps, mechanical damage to the locking device is possible.

To diagnose, it is necessary to find out the cause. Initially, the physical part of the wiring and locks is checked - the elements must be in decent condition. Next, you need to check that the settings in the programming table are correct. If no external signs are detected, it is recommended to reset the settings.

Troubleshooting common problems

The remote control uses batteries to operate the transmitting unit and receiver. When the element is discharged or the contacts are oxidized, the range of the device is reduced. To replace the battery, you need to open the cover; the new part is mounted taking into account the polarity. If the key fob falls into water, you must turn off the power and then disassemble the case to remove traces of moisture. Using the device without drying it will lead to corrosion of the printed circuit boards and loss of functionality.

Incorrect operation of the components of the security system occurs when the insulating layer on the switching harnesses is damaged or condensation gets inside the electronic units. It is recommended to check the cables for short circuits using a test device; The central block is removed and dried. Detected traces of corrosion are removed with a soft cloth. If you cannot repair the damage yourself, you must contact a service center to diagnose the Tomahawk complex.
