FAQ & Troubleshooting
Question
Answer
I'll want to use the XLifter
occasionally. Most of the time I want
to have the control module
disconnected (stored in a glove
compartment etc.). Possible?
Perfectly possible. However, as a safety measure, the EAS
unit sets the Disengaged (+0 mm) program – see the
next question.
It’s also perfectly possible to have control module
installed permanently and use the Keylock feature to
prevent someone else “playing” with XLifter settings
while driving your vehicle.
What happens
in the event of the control module
malfunction (mechanical damage,
module stolen etc.)?
- or -
if the control module is
disconnected from 12V socket for
longer period?
The XLifter EAS unit continuously checks for availability
of the control module.
In case the ignition is on and wireless communication is
failing for longer than 5 minutes, the Disengaged (+0
mm) program is set, i.e. EAS unit starts to behave as it’s
not present in the car at all.
This function solves a situation where the control
module is damaged while the vehicle is set to a driving-
unsuitable mode (for example, it is levelled for sleeping).
It is a safety measure.
Wouldn’t the permanently installed
EAS unit discharge a car battery in a
long run?
Don’t worry, you can leave the XLifter in the vehicle for
years without affecting the battery. The EAS unit is put
to sleep with the vehicle. Quiescent current is below 0.5
mA - negligible draw, less than the self-discharge
current of the battery.
Can the control module be
connected to a permanent supply
(not switched on by the ignition
key)?
XLifter is not designed for it. The control module will stay
lit up, lure thieves and consume car battery power. It
would also cause the control module to report a loss of
communication with the EAS unit once the car gets to
sleep mode.
Power the control module from an ignition switched
supply rail.
OMG, the control module keys are
locked, I can’t unlock them, I’m lost
😊
The Keylock is a safety measure. If you can’t unlock
them, it’s working right
😊
Deactivate the keylock in the service menu - chapter 7.
