Interface with external turbo timers
When this feature is turned ON, the system allows the vehicle to run on an external turbo timer for a time that does
not exceed the time programmed into the system. The system allows for 1 minute, 2 minutes or 4 minutes.
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT THE EXTERNAL TURBO TIMER DOES NOT RUN FOR LONGER THAN THIS TIME
AS IT WILL CAUSE THE SYSTEM TO FALSE ALARM.
How to set up the turbo timer feature and set the maximum run time:
1.
Install the alarm as normal except connect the IGN input from the alarm to the vehicles accessory circuit instead
of true ignition. This wire must drop to 0v when the key is turned off and the vehicle is running on the turbo
timer.
2.
Ensure all doors, bonnet and boot are closed.
3.
Turn the ignition on, off and on then press the
button 16 times. The indicators, LED and siren will flash or
chirp upon each press of the button.
4.
Now turn the ignition off. The siren should chirp the current run time setting to indicate that the programming
mode has been entered.
5.
Pressing the
button will increment the maximum run time allowed for the turbo timer. There are four
levels, each level is indicated by the number of chirps. See table below. It is very important that the external
turbo timer does not run for longer than the maximum run time set below as the system will false alarm.
Number of chirps
Turbo timer run time
1
1 minute
2
2 minutes
3
4 minutes
4
10 seconds
7.
Once the desired time duration is selected simply turn the ignition on then off. The siren should chirp the new
run time setting indicating the turbo timer time duration is now set.
No other programming is required to run an external turbo timer. However when using an external turbo timer,
ensure that the Onboard Turbo Timer feature in Register 1, Feature 17 is turned off (factory set off). Once the
maximum time is programmed, the cars ignition may be controlled by an external turbo timer. The external turbo
timer must not run longer than the time set above or the system will false alarm.
Operation:
To operate the system simply turn the ignition off and exit the vehicle as normal.
Pressing the
button will arm the alarm and lock the doors as normal but the immobiliser relays will stay closed
until the pre-programmed time out.
If the alarm detects an intrusion the alarm will sound and the system will immobilise the engine.
