USER MANUAL
PANDORA DXL 1940L CAR SERVICE-SECURITY SYSTEM
Immobilizer mode
This mode is enabled by default. Use a phone to disable this mode (see ‘Control over system via a phone’
section). When switching on the ignition, the base unit of Pandora security system performs a search
for immobilizer tags in radio zone. If no radio tags were detected when the ignition is switched on, the
system will block the engine with all radio relays that were programmed into the system. Engine block-
ing will only occur when motion sensor detects movement of the car. If additional analogue blocking
relays were installed, they will block the engine immediately, before or when the car starts moving, it
depends on system settings.
WARNING! IF THE SYSTEM DOESN’T RECOGNIZE A RADIO TAG, THE BEEPER WILL
EMIT 5 SOUND SIGNALS WHEN THE IGNITION IS TURNED ON, THIS WILL REPEAT
5 TIMES. CHECK THE RADIO TAG BATTERY, MOVE THE TAG (IT GOES TO A SLEEP
MODE WHEN IT REMAINS MOTIONLESS AND THE IGNITION IS SWITCHED OF. A
BUILT-IN ACCELEROMETER HAVE TO RECOGNIZE MOVEMENT TO ACTIVATE THE
TAG).
Anti-Hi-Jack-1 mode
This mode is disabled by default. Use Pandora Alarm Studio application to enable this mode. Anti-
hi-jack mode helps to prevent aggressive seizure of the car using delayed engine blocking on door
opening.
Every time on opening/closing a door when the ignition is switched on, immobilizer requests re-
sponse from a radio tag using unique algorithm. After a door was opened while the engine is running,
if the system cannot detect a radio tag, the engine will be stopped after 1 minute (general safety re-
quirement). A siren will play ‘ENGINE BLOCKING WARNING’ ringtone before blocking. The engine will be
blocked immediately or when the car starts moving, it depends on system settings.
CONTROL OVER THE SYSTEM
Arming/disarming using radio tag
To arm/disarm the system, RF tag should be in the Bluetooth coverage
area. The system produces a protected (AES-128 encryption) interac-
tive high-speed exchange of authorization codes in the frequency
range 2,4 GHz on one of 125 channels. To arm the system when the
ignition is switched off, shortly press the tag button. The system will
confirm the command receiving with 1 short sound signal and 1 flash
of turn indicators. To disarm the system, shortly press the tag button.
The system will confirm the command receiving with 2 short sound
signals and 2 flashes of turn indicators. Each button press will be con-
firmed with LED indicator flash of the tag that indicates the battery is
functioning correctly. If LED indicator does not flash or light, the tag
battery should be replaced (see ‘Replacing immobilizer tag battery’
section).
Arming/disarming in Hands Free mode
The system allows for programmable Hands Free arming and disarming. To arm the system, when the
engine is not running, move with the remote tag away from the car at a distance greater than the
regular radio coverage (10 meters for 2,4 GHz) – the system will be armed automatically. To disarm the
system, move toward the car with remote tag. Enabling/disabling this function can be performed with
a phone (see ‘Control over system via a phone’ section).
Arming/disarming in «Slave» mode
In this mode, it is possible to monitor the status of original security system of the car via CAN-bus
or by analog inputs. When arming and disarming original security system, Pandora will be armed and
disarmed respectively. The presence of a tag in the radio zone is not required, but at the beginning of
motion if the tag is not detected by the system, the engine will be blocked.
There is an option named ‘Disable disarming when the tag is not present’ in the system settings.
When this option is enabled, disarming procedure will be performed only if there is a tag in the radio
zone.
WARNING!
ANTIHIJACK MODE IS NOT LEGAL IN SOME COUNTRIES.
