Turbo timer instructions
The system has two turbo timer features. Firstly it has an interface compatible with external turbo timers, and
secondly it has its own on-board turbo timer system.
Interface with external turbo timers
When this feature is turned ON, the system allows the vehicle to run on an external turbo timer for a time that
does not exceed the time programmed into the system. The system allows for 1 minute, 2 minutes and 4
minutes.
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT THE EXTERNAL TURBO TIMER DOES NOT RUN FOR LONGER THAN
THIS TIME AS IT WILL CAUSE THE SYSTEM TO FALSE ALARM.
How to set up the turbo timer feature and set the maximum run time:
1. Install the alarm as normal except connect the IGN input from the alarm to the vehicles accessory circuit
instead of true ignition. This wire must drop to 0v when the key is turned off and the vehicle is running on
the turbo timer.
2. Ensure all doors, bonnet and boot are closed.
3. Turn the ignition on and press
, 16 times. The indicators, LED and siren will flash or chirp upon each
press of the button.
4. Now turn the ignition off. The siren should produce a single chirp to indicate that the programming mode
has been entered.
5. Pressing
will increment the maximum run time allowed for the turbo timer. There are four levels; each
level is indicated by the number of chirps. See table below. It is very important that the external turbo timer
does not run for longer than the maximum run time set below as the system will false alarm.
Number of chirps
Turbo timer run time

1 minute
2
2 minutes
3
4 minutes
4
10 secs
6. Once the desired time duration is selected simply turn the ignition on then off. The turbo timer time duration
is now programmed in.
No other programming is required to run an external turbo timer. However, when using an external turbo timer
ensure that the Onboard Turbo Timer feature in Register 1 is turned off (factory set off). Once the maximum
time is programmed, the car’s ignition may be controlled by an external turbo timer. The external turbo timer
must not run longer than the time set above or the system will false alarm.
Operation:
To operate the system simply turn the ignition off and exit the vehicle as normal.
Pressing
/
will arm the alarm and lock the doors as normal but the immobiliser relays will stay closed until
the pre-programmed time out.
If the alarm detects an intrusion the alarm will sound and the system will immobilise the engine.
