Enabling and disabling Turbo mode on Magikar 5
When operating a car that has a turbocharged engine, special maintenance methods are used:
- To prevent destruction of the injection mechanism, the car should not be turned off immediately after stopping.
- To eliminate the waiting time for the turbine to cool down, they resort to using a turbo timer.
- The Magikar 5 alarm makes it possible to cool the turbine without being in the car. The engine runs for about 2 minutes after the ride is completed.
To enable or disable this mode, you must press keys III and IV for a short time. The status of the function will determine which signals or icons are displayed on the key fob.
Purpose of the buttons
The buttons on the communicator support 4 types of operation:
- short exposure;
- long (more than 2 seconds) press;
- quick complex impact on 2 keys;
- long-term joint holding of 2 buttons.
The driver is given the opportunity to turn on or off the security mode, activate remote start, as well as other functions. More detailed purpose of the buttons is indicated in the attached instructions.
Setting the time
In order to program the clock, you need to press keys 2 and 3 together, and then you need to make the settings by pressing key 1.
In order to adjust the clock value, use keys 2 and 3; to write to memory, you must hold down keys 2 and 3.
Installation instructions
The algorithm for setting up the alarm system is explained in the instructions below:
- It is necessary to place the antenna unit on the corner of the windshield; it should also be taken into account that if the unit is installed covertly, the range of the remote control will be reduced;
- The location of the call sensor should be on the surface of the windshield, and the installation point should be degreased before the procedure;
- Next, you should install the siren under the hood of the car. The unit must be placed remotely from sources of heat and moisture;
- Additional limit switches must be placed in areas that are not exposed to moisture;
- Next, the processor module is mounted inside the instrument panel. Fastening is permitted with screws or plastic clamps. Also, do not forget about programming the remote control codes;
- The final stage is to mount the shock sensor inside the car.
Connection diagram
Once you have completed the installation, you need to connect the Sherkhan 5 alarm system to the network and connect the electronic units to each other. Special cables are supplied, equipped with insulation of different colors, which should be used in the connectors. The edges of the connection must be protected with a special tape, and do not forget about the protective fuses. See the diagram below for more details.
Activating/deactivating the hands-free function
In order to enable/disable the “hands-free” mode of the Sherkhan 5 alarm system, you must press and hold button I of the key fob for a long time (at least two seconds).
“Hands Free” can function in two modes:
- icon on the LCD display in a non-blinking state
(at the same time, the minimum operating distance is 15 meters);
- icon on the LCD display blinking
(at the same time, the maximum operating distance is 35 meters);
Changing operating modes or turning off is also done by pressing and holding button I of the key fob (for 2 seconds).
It should be remembered that the activation/deactivation distance of the “hands-free” function depends on a number of third-party factors: the presence of metal objects in close proximity to the receiving antenna, the presence of active radio equipment that can affect radio interference on the air, external environmental conditions, etc. d.
If the hands-free function is constantly active, this can significantly reduce the battery life of the key fob. Therefore, you should not continuously maintain the “Hands Free” function of the Sherkhan 6 alarm in an active state.
How to use the alarm
The answer to this question can be found in the attached manual, which contains a number of sections devoted to working with the communicator, the functioning of the security system, and others.
The driver is recommended to study this material and write down certain algorithms in the memo.
Remote start from key fob
Starting can be done by pressing button 2 for a long time. As soon as the locks are locked, the motor is activated, and the remaining operating time can be seen on the communicator display. The driver has the opportunity to disable the security; first, he must place the key in the lock, turn on the ignition and start driving.
Note: 20 seconds are allotted for execution, otherwise the engine is turned off.
Silence siren signals
By simultaneously pressing keys 1 and 2, you can turn the siren on or off. This function is pre-configured during programming. When silent mode is activated, the buzzer remains on. At the moment the signal is cancelled, the display shows an image of a playing trumpet.

Programming instructions
Please note that before you set up, you must turn off the alarm. Then, by long pressing buttons 1 and 2 to enter table 1 and buttons 1 and 4, respectively, to enter table 2. Then button 4 selects a section.
Each key press is accompanied by a corresponding sound. And after each input to the section, an additional signal is given.
The programming chart below gives you a more detailed look at how to properly configure the parameters.
Note: to configure each function, the algorithm must be repeated
Malfunctions and their elimination
If there is no connection between the control panel and the head unit, the process of transmitting commands is disrupted. The algorithm of actions in this case depends on your settings. Switch the ignition three times, then turn the key to the “off” position.
Then press key 1, then write down the remaining devices.
Note: Each step takes 4 seconds.
If the password filling algorithm has gone wrong, then after triple switching you should enter the first register of the code. The number of turns depends on the previously configured code. Next, another register is configured by analogy.
Next, you need to confirm the setting, in which case all codes will be entered into memory.
The main cause of malfunctions may be a breakdown of the control panel, due to wear or moisture.
In this case, it is necessary to disassemble the device, remove oxidation and replace the necessary parts. In case of complete failure, replace the communicator.
If the alarm refuses to activate the security mode, it is recommended to perform a full check of the settings. Do not forget that when activating the Valet mode, the security is completely disabled.
The cause of a probable malfunction may be a breakdown of sensors, or switches, or damage to connecting harnesses.
The check can be done with a test device.
If this does not help, contact the service center.

Linking a new key fob to the Scher Khan Magicar 5 alarm system
The user manual supplied with the equipment contains a section devoted to working with the communicator. There is a separate chapter describing the functioning of the security complex. The driver of the car is recommended to study the manual and then write out individual sections (for example, a description of the emergency shutdown algorithm) in the form of a memo, which is stored along with the documents for the car.
Symbols on the display
Before you start using the alarm, you need to remove the safety insert glued to the contacts of the communicator. When the battery is installed correctly, a melodic signal is given, indicating that the device is ready for use.
On the LCD screen of the Scher-Khan 5 alarm communicator there are symbols to display:
- battery condition;
- device operating mode;
- fields for displaying hours;
- security mode status indicators;
- siren and shock sensor operating mode icons;
- explanatory notes when the engine is actively started using a timer or the turbo timer is running;
- indicators of open body panels;
- turning on the “Hands-free” mode;
- icon for receiving a call from the car;
- indication of the operation of lighting equipment or power unit;
- Valet service mode activation signal.
Purpose of the buttons
The buttons located on the communicator support 4 operating modes:
- short exposure;
- long (more than 2 seconds) press;
- quick complex impact on 2 keys;
- long-term joint holding of 2 buttons.
The driver, by pressing the buttons on the communicator or auxiliary remote control, turns the security mode on or off, activates remote start and other functions. The keys are used to configure the remote control with a display and are used during programming of the central unit. The purpose of the buttons is indicated in the relevant sections of the operating and configuration instructions.
Setting the time
To program the clock, press buttons II and III together for a long time, and then the driver goes to the settings menu (by briefly pressing button I). To adjust the values of hours and minutes, keys I and II are used; to record the result in memory, a long-term impact is made on II and III (before the buzzer gives a signal).
To turn on the alarm, you need to press the I key. The siren will sound, the external lighting will work, and then the engine starting circuits will be blocked and the locks will be locked. Explanatory pictograms appear on the communicator display.
The control diode turns off, and icons in the form of car headlights and a lock with an open shackle flash 5 times on the display.
Starting is carried out by long-pressing button II. After locking the locks, the engine starts, and the communicator display shows the remaining operating time (pre-programmed). The driver can disable the security, place the key in the lock, and then activate the ignition and start driving. 20 seconds are allotted to perform actions, otherwise the engine is turned off.
Scher Khan Magicar 5 keychain diagram
To repair the display you will need:
- soldering iron;
- flux;
- rosin;
- thin screwdriver.
Replacing the Magikar car alarm screen begins with disassembling the remote control.
- Remove the battery.
- Unscrew the screw located under the rubber plug.
- Using a knife, divide the body into two parts.
- Remove the internal components.
The screen contacts are soldered to the board on top. Unsolder them using a soldering iron (temperature 320 degrees).
- Clean the contacts on the board and irradiate them.
- Remove the protective film from the new display.
- Place the screen and quickly solder it with a soldering iron.
- Reassemble the key fob in reverse order and check its functionality.
Find out how to disassemble the Sherkhan keychain.
Firmware and reprogramming Sherkhan 5
You can reflash the Magikar key fob version 5 using the PIN code. Record the remote control codes by following the instructions below.
- In four seconds, turn the ignition key three times from the “Off” to “On” position. Turn off the ignition.
- Turn the ignition back on within four seconds. The number of activations must match the first value of the secret code. The light optics will light up once, confirming that the second value can be entered.
- Turn on the ignition. The number of activations must correspond to the second digit of the code. The emergency light will blink once, confirming correct action.
- Enter the remaining secret number values in the same way.
- After entering all the numbers, press button 1 of the switch. The lights will light up once to confirm the pager entry. After four seconds, the system will exit programming mode.
The alarm remote control is something that is constantly lost, forgotten, broken, or falls into the water. It is not possible to connect a second key fob due to its absence. Replacing with the original remote control is also unrealistic. You have to look for a communicator from a family that is more or less compatible with yours. The pager may be completely, partially, or not suitable at all. We reviewed the compatibility of key fobs for the Sherkhan Magikar 5 anti-theft system earlier.
Brief instructions for programming the key fob
If you do not register the device, the user will not be able to configure the basic functions of the anti-theft system.
Alarms Sherkhan Magikar and Logikar allow you to link up to three communicators to the memory of the control unit.
For model 4
To program the Sherkhan 4 key fob, perform the following steps:
- When the protection mode is disabled, the ignition system is activated. The “Valet” button located on the body of the diode element is pressed for two seconds. The vehicle's parking lights will blink once.
- Over the next five seconds, the “Jack” key is pressed once. The vehicle lights will flash twice. After 5 s, the diode light will light up and stop blinking. This indicates successful entry into the communicator settings menu.
- Within 5 seconds, the user must press the fourth key on the remote control twice. If the device code is received successfully, the warning light will blink. Then the remaining communicators are linked.
For model 5
The programming procedure for model 5 is as follows:
- Within four seconds, you need to turn the ignition system on and off three times, after which it remains inactive. The machine's lights will blink three times, indicating that you have entered the binding menu.
- Within 4 seconds, but no longer, after the last flashing of the hazard warning light, the first button on the key fob is pressed. The lights should blink once, this indicates that the system has accepted the remote control code. The rest of the communicators are programmed in the same way.
- To leave the binding menu, you must take no action for four seconds.

For model 6
Programming of Sherkhan Magikar 6 remotes is performed using a personal password:
- Within four seconds, the user turns the ignition system on and off three times. As a result, it should remain in an inactive state. The car's turning lights will flash three times.
- The ignition must be activated several times within 4 seconds. The number of activations must correspond to the first digit of the individual password (initially the system is assigned code 11). The car's lights blink.
- Over the next four seconds, the next digit of the password is entered in the same way. The car's turning lights will flash.
- Then the first key of the communicator is pressed, which needs to be linked to the control unit. This must be done within four seconds after the last flash of the light alarm.
- Linking the remaining key fobs is done in the same way, by pressing the first button. But the time interval between programming devices should be no more than four seconds. If one communicator is registered, then the first button on the remote control is “clicked” three times.

For model 7 and 9
The key fob binding process for versions 7 and 9 looks like this:
- When the security mode is disabled, the ignition system is activated. The button located on the transceiver body is pressed for two seconds. This will cause the car lights to blink.
- Over the next five seconds, the car owner’s call key “clicks” briefly.
- If a personal password has been programmed in advance to control the alarm, then it must be entered. This will cause the vehicle lights to blink.
- After five seconds, the alarm status LED will light up continuously in blue. This indicates that the control unit is ready to bind communicators.
- Over the next 5 seconds, press the first button on the remote control. Then the remaining devices are registered in the same way.
For model 13 and 14
Programming communicators for models 13 and 14 is done as follows:
- When the protection mode is disabled and the ignition is on, the key located on the transceiver body is pressed for two seconds. The car's lights will blink once.
- Within 5 s the button is pressed again. The LED will start flashing quickly.
- Over the next four seconds, the key on the transceiver is pressed several times to enter the password. The number of “clicks” must correspond to the first digit of the code. 4 seconds after the last press, the car's lights will blink once.
- The previous step is repeated to enter the remaining characters of the password. 5 s after the last sign is indicated, the diode will begin to light without interruption.
- Within five seconds the fourth key of the communicator is pressed. The lights will flash once. Similar actions are performed to program the remaining remote controls. To leave the binding menu, you must take no action for 4 seconds.

Functions
Alarm system with auto start Scher-Khan 5 has the following functions:
- support for supercharged engines;
- disabling password protection;
- 2-stage removal of protection;
- giving alarm signals with lamps and sirens;
- automatic and remote engine start;
- joint work with standard central locking units;

- support for car security with the engine running.
To enable the function, press the IV button for a long time (the type of activated mode is indicated when programming the processor unit). If the alarm was turned off, then when a signal is received, the doors and start circuits are blocked. A sound and light alarm is activated and lasts 90 seconds.
The design of Magic 5 provides the ability to automatically disable and enable security. In the active mode, the alarm reacts to the radiation of the transmitter, which is detected at a distance of 15 m. When the owner moves away from the car, automatic arming occurs, and when he returns, the protection is turned off.
To activate the “Hands Free” mode, you need to long press the I button. After the icon with the text Auto appears and the melody is broadcast, you need to briefly press the IV key. An icon with the text “Holy Hands” turns on on the display. The mode is deactivated by long pressing the I key.
Valet mode
When transferring the vehicle to a service station, it is possible to use a mode to temporarily disable the security functionality. To turn on, use a complex press on keys I and III, which are held for 2 seconds. When the function is activated, the ability to control the door locks is retained; an icon in the form of 4 letters Z is turned on on the communicator display. Repeated long-term pressure on the buttons allows you to disable the mode.
User manual
The instructions supplied with the equipment in Russian contain recommendations for management:
- To arm the security, use the I button installed on the communicator. Holding keys I and II allows you to activate the security mode without giving signals from the siren.
- Disabling the security is performed by briefly pressing the I key. The driver can lock and open the locks while driving.
- To remotely start the power unit, you need to press button II for 3 seconds. To ensure engine starting on vehicles with a manual transmission, a procedure for programming the neutral position of the selector is first carried out. A prerequisite for starting is to set the parking brake handle to the working position. The Sherkhan user adjusts the motor operating time by programming the central unit.
- To unlock the trunk lid, use a long press on button III (with the channel activated).
- In the center of the call sensor there is a control diode that lights up in red when the security mode is active. To call the driver, you need to knock on the glass; you need to pause for 1.5-2 seconds between knocks. The diode changes color to green, a call is received on the communicator, a buzzer sounds and an icon is displayed on the display. To turn off the call tones, briefly press the IV button.
- When an alarm is triggered, a signal is sent to the communicator, a buzzer sounds, and the display shows the zone that detected an attempt to break into the car.
- Briefly pressing the IV key allows you to poll the system. The status of the complex is displayed by sound signals from a buzzer and siren, and the display shows the temperature inside the car. Pressing the button again displays the voltage value in the vehicle's on-board network.
How to set up the remote control
The manual contains a section describing how to configure the communicator. To activate the menu, press keys II and III, the text PRO9 appears on the display and a buzzer sounds. A short press on the I button activates the clock setting mode. To change the hours and minutes, short actions are applied to keys I and II, respectively. Pressing II and III again stores the value in memory.
While in setup mode, the driver controls the operation of the call sensor (using button III). The communicator displays the temperature in degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit. The change is made using a combination of buttons I and IV.

Installation instructions
The DIY alarm installation algorithm for dummies is given in the factory documentation:
- Place the antenna unit in the corner of the windshield; installation of the unit under the interior trim is allowed. If the owner installs the unit secretly, then the range of the remote control may be reduced (due to shielding of the antenna).
- Place the call sensor on the surface of the windshield; the installation point is pre-degreased.
- Mount the siren under the hood of the car. The unit is located away from sources of heat and moisture.
- Place additional limit switches in areas not exposed to moisture.
- Secure the processor module inside the instrument panel. Screws or plastic clamps are used for fastening. Equipment supplied from the factory does not have key fobs stored in its memory. Before use, you need to program the remote control codes.
- Glue the shock sensor inside the car (on a metal base). Provide in advance unobstructed access to the rotary potentiometer for sensitivity adjustment.

How to remove Valet mode without a key fob
On the Sherkhan alarm system, it is quite easy to turn on the “Valet” mode by accidentally pressing it. Very often this is mistaken for a system failure: the alarm does not respond to blows, autostart fails, key fobs are not programmed, the LED is constantly on. Only the central locking and trunk opening work.
To disable Valet without a key fob, use the multifunction button located in a visible place.
- Turn on the ignition, do not start the engine.
- Press and hold the multifunction key for two seconds. "Jack" is disabled.

How to set the time on the Magikar 5 model?
The Magicar 5 key fob can start the engine using an internal timer. The “Timer” icon will be displayed on the LCD screen. In order for the function to work correctly the first time you use it or after you have to remove the batteries, you need to set the clock.
According to the manual, setup is carried out as follows:
- Press buttons II and III in combination. The car will beep.
- Press I for less than a second. The time on the screen should blink.
- Using keys I and II we set the exact value of hours and minutes.
- To fix the set value, leave the programming mode by simultaneously pressing buttons I and II. A signal should sound.
Incorrect time setting leads to desynchronization of the readings on the key fob and the real watch. Because of this, it is not possible to correctly set auto-start by timer on the alarm. The engine and interior will not warm up on time.
You need to set the time in accordance with the real clock for more accurate synchronization.
Setting the time on the Magicar 5 key fob is shown in the video by Marat.
