INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION
1. Basic Installation Principles
TOMAHAWK TW-9010 vehicle alarm system has a classic connection arrangement. First of all,
before installation disable vehicle power system (disconnect “–“ battery terminal). To choose places
for alarm system units, follow the principles as below:
-
Secrecy of installation
- Absence of heat and moisture emitting sources near the units
- Allow for minimal mutual interference between standard vehicle electronics and alarm units
ATTENTION!
Emitting antenna should be installed at a distance from alarm and vehicle control units. Try to minimize
length of cables.
2. Choosing Locations for Main Units
1) An electronic unit for alarm control is installed inside the cabin (passenger compartment). To
achieve maximum range, combined “RF” antenna for the cabinet should be placed at the highest
point, without contact with metal parts and electric wires.
2) Siren is installed in the engine compartment, at a hard-to-reach place. If you use an independent
siren, ensure access to service key slot. The siren should be installed with horn down to escape
moisture entry. Wire connections should better be done inside cabin for less corrosion.
3) All strong current circuits (power supply, lights, central lock, etc.) should be protected with
respectively rated safety fuses.
4) Hood and boot triggers are cut in places protected against moisture, inaccessible with hood and
boot closed. Triggers should be oiled periodically to avoid jams and corrosion.
5) The shock sensor is installed in the cabin, an ideal place might be the vehicle centre, and secured
to the car body metal with self-driving screws or pasted.
6) It is recommended to solder contacts in connections of ignition, starter and other circuits.
