VLC5501 Vapormatic Immobiliser Installation Manual
7 of 21
Immobiliser blocker module wiring diagrams:
Important!!! Please read first.
Both immobiliser blockers must be installed.
The keypad
sends a signal to both immobiliser blockers, if one is not installed the other will not
work. When only one circuit is being blocked, the spare secondary blocker wires
marked (7), should be taped up and insulated out of harm’s way.
An ignition (switchable) live feed & a chassis earth are required. Both the earth (-) &
positive (+) wires to the blockers must have a secure joint. This will limit any
continuity issues for the units use. If either wire has a loose or high resistance joint,
the unit may be re-energized which could cause the blocked circuit to fail & the
vehicle to become immobilized.
Please note the keypad, both immobiliser blockers and the Keypad Override Disc
come with a serial number and are matched to each other. Therefore only the two
immobiliser blockers supplied will work together with the supplied keypad and
Keypad Override Disc.
Prior to the immobiliser blockers being fitted, it is necessary to measure the power
consumption of the electrical circuit being re-routed through the Vapormatic
blockers, the continuous current draw must not exceed 12 Amps. Also the length of
the wires and their cross-sectional area must be taken into consideration. If the
switch current approaches this level, external relays (supplied) should be used.
Each immobiliser blocker must be protected by fitting the 3 Amp fuses (supplied). As
with the immobiliser, this should be hidden from sight, and reasonable difficult to
gain access to.
The installation of the immobiliser blockers must be installed in a way that access to
them is restricted by removing “panels/trim ETC”.
Care must be taken not to induce any vehicle diagnostic error codes of any kind
whilst interrupting power supply to CAN bus devices on modern vehicles.
The Keypad Override Disc is designed to be a backup device in case the keypad stops
working or an intruder damages it trying to start your vehicle. For this reason
DO
NOT
leave the vehicle unattended whilst the Keypad Override Disc is within a 5
metre range. Damaged keypads or lost discs can be ordered from Vapormatic,
quoting the serial number printed on all components of this system.
To change the factory default PIN code setting from ‘0000’, please refer to the User
manual also supplied on the installation CD.
