Car Alarm CA-10 „REX“
installation
manual
The CA-10 is a compact remote controlled car alarm with a building block
architecture. It can be easily extended with CR-11A modules to be tailored to
particular installation requirements (central locking control, immobilization
etc.). This remotely controlled car alarm can have a maximum of two addi-
tional RC-4x remote controllers added to the one provided. Remote control
signals are protected by a hopping code and an Anti-scan feature.
The CA-10 provides additional features for the ease and convenience of the
user (dome light control, car locator feature, indication of alarm memory,
rearm function, etc.).
Installation
The installation of the CA-10 Rex is not complicated. However, professional
installation is highly recommended to ensure 100% functionality.
The main unit of the car alarm should be installed in the engine or passenger
compartment. Disconnect the car battery before starting installation. No one
should be inside a car equipped with airbags while the battery is being connected
or disconnected. Refer to the car owners' manual before disconnecting the battery.
If you drill a hole in the car, be sure to check the intended hole location before
drilling to prevent damage to the car.
Screw the metal bracket of the main unit firmly to the car body. It is critical that
the unit is firmly secured to assure proper function of the vibration sensor. Do not
place the unit close to any hot objects (exhaust pipe, radiator etc.).
WIRING
- route the wires of the car alarm along with the pre-existing electrical
harness of the car. Check each connection made to ensure that it is firm and
properly insulated. Use only a real crimping tool to make needed connections:
•
RED = power +12V
- connect it to a direct line from the positive battery terminal
•
BLACK = grounding
- connect it to the original GND point in the car.
•
BLUE = ignition key
- to the ignition key switch (+12V when ignition is ON).
•
GRAY = door switches input
- is a negative alarm trigger input. Connect it to
the door switch which should be installed on every door. This input also functions
as the dome light control output (the max. load of the light is 10W).
•
WHITE = AL trigger input
- is activated when connected to the ground (or
when disconnected from the ground - selectable). The type of reaction (Alarm or
Warning) can be selected for this input. An additional sensor can be connected
to this wire (for example a hood switch etc.).
•
GREEN = LED indicator
- drill a 6.5mm (4/16") hole in the dashboard and
install the LED with the attached plastic bracket.
•
YELLOW = VALET switch
- install it in a hidden location in the car
After routing wires from the green LED & Valet, insert their ends, equipped
with metal contacts, into the corresponding positions on the main unit ‘s
connector (see color marks on the connector housing).
A short gray wire going directly from the CA-10 unit is a remote control antenna.
Location of this antenna effects remote control working range.
Testing of the installed car alarm
Complete and check all wiring before switching on the power. After switching
on the power, check all basic functions of the car alarm (see operation). Fix new
wires to the original wireharness of the car.
This is the end of basic installation.
Adding of a new remote control
There is one remote control in provided with the set. The car alarm can be
operated with by maximum of three RC-4x remote controllers. To add an
additional remote control:
•
switch on the ignition key when the car alarm is disarmed and press the
hidden VALET button five times, consecutively.
•
the siren will sound two signals and the alarm is now in a learning mode
•
activate all remote controls (one by one, button
) that you want the car
alarm to accept.
•
if you activate only one controller in the learning mode, you will be able to
control the car alarm only with this one controller
•
to close the learning mode, switch off the ignition key
Setting mode
Optional functions can be modified the following way:
•
press VALET button when the car alarm is disarmed and hold it pressed
•
after 5 seconds or more, switch on the ignition key. The siren will indicate open-
ing of the setting mode, and you may now release the Vallet button.
•
now you are in row no. 1 of the following table. Setting of the parameters is
indicated by the LED. Bold printed parameters are factory default settings.
•
settings can be changed by pressing a remote control button, Each short press-
ing will change the parameter (on - off - on - off - etc.).
•
to select next parameter (next row in the table), press the VALET button quickly.
The number of beeps from the siren will correspond with the parameter number.
•
Pressing the VALET button on parameter no. 13 will store data to the memory
and the setting mode will be exited (confirmed by a long signal from the siren).
Note: If you switch the ignition key off before the setting mode is com-
pleted, the setting mode will be terminated and no changes will be stored.
Removing power from the car alarm will not change stored data.
