Setting up autostart on the Scher-Khan alarm system

Specifications

Device Features

It is possible to connect an additional sensor, for example, a microwave sensor (the so-called volume sensor). The main key fob is equipped with an informative LCD screen and a monolithic, damage-resistant antenna. There is a function to automatically turn on the display backlight.

During the theft of a car, the anti-robber system is activated, which immobilizes it. Support for external autorun module is provided by a universal function.

Car alarms for vehicles are made from high-quality raw materials, which guarantees them wear resistance and durability. The operating instructions will tell you more about this.

If the car is in security mode, its engine can be started from a distance using the control panel. The vehicle doors are unlocked from a distance in two steps thanks to the special hands-free function.

If the need arises, you can change the sensitivity of the sensors using the key fob. Using the universal hands-free function of this equipment, it is possible to digitally control the pre-start relay. You can register the hands-free function using the installation manual.

The car alarm disables sensors by zone in automatic mode. This is ensured by the hands-free function. The device has a modern encryption code, which ensures reliable protection of the vehicle. The system has a universal program, which allows you to use it to control the vehicle’s on-board network. The equipment key fob provides information about the temperature inside the vehicle. The device is characterized by the presence of two key fobs, which ensures comfortable operation. More detailed information is contained in the instruction manual.

Characteristics of the Scher-Khan Magicar 10 car alarm

A detailed list of general characteristics is indicated in the previous article: “Car alarm Scher Khan Magicar 9”.

Purpose of key fob buttons and icons

The main key fob from the Sherkhan 6 branded set is equipped with a display and an audible alarm. All together, this allows you to maintain feedback - the Scher Khan Magicar 6 signaling is two-way. The purpose of the key fob keys is discussed in the table, and the figure below shows icons with captions:

Main and additional key fobs

It is noteworthy that using the buttons you can not only disarm the car or activate it, but also switch to programming mode. This property is typical for all Magicar systems and Magicar 6 in particular.

Before using the key fob, do the following: open the battery compartment, remove the protective cover, and then replace the battery. It is included in the car alarm kit.

We will assume that the horizontal line opposite the number corresponds to a long press (more than 2 seconds). Then you can use the options, guided by one table:

How to set a timer

The steps are similar to setting the current time, but instead of the I button, they use a different key.

Programming and setting options

Any system of the Sherkhan 6 class can be programmed by the owner himself. The steps to do this look simple:

1. Press the key combination I+II or I+IV for two seconds (first or second table of options);
2. The option number, as stated in the instructions, is selected by pressing the IV button;
3. After waiting a second until the signal appears, you can set the value using one key with the corresponding number.

The first table contains 9 options. They are responsible for ease of use:

Basic signaling options

Additional outputs provided in the system design are configured by changing the values ​​in another table. It will now be reviewed.

Function “3” from table “1” is responsible for an important parameter, and its incorrect setting leads to failure of the central locking system. This property is typical not only for Sherkhan 6 systems, but also for any car alarms. “Table 2” below contains all service functions, including those responsible for the behavior of control outputs:

System service options

These functions are related to the Scher Khan Magicar 6 alarm.

Pay attention to the option “2-4”. By setting the timer on the key fob, you will not receive channel “1” activations at the specified time. And the defect is corrected simply - they give the function “2-4” the value “4”. You can control autorun from both the first and second additional channels. But the output that controls the turbo timer relay can only be “additional channel 2”. Set option “2-5” to “4” and get a working turbo timer.

When starting programming, make sure that the vehicle is disarmed. The hands-free option should also be disabled. How to implement autorun is described below.

Turbo timer and automatic start

Remember the following. The Scher Khan Magicar 6 alarm system is a turbo timer that controls a power relay from an additional output contact. The owner can remove the key and get out of the car, and the ignition will be maintained. The timer lasts for 2 minutes and cannot be changed here.

Automatic engine start module

An autostart module can be connected to the second, as well as to the first additional channel, but in the first case it cannot be controlled by a timer. Both options for the Magicar 6 signal will be valid. But the turbo timer relay can be controlled by the second additional channel, and no other. However, this has already been said.

Please note that autostart with your alarm will work in any case. But the same cannot be said about the turbo timer function: not every engine can withstand a short-term loss of ignition current.

Security system capabilities

Sherkhan car alarms are controlled via a secure 868 MHz radio channel, which ensures communication between the main module and key fobs at a distance of up to 2 kilometers. Models with GSM modules are controlled via a radio channel and the Internet. In the latter case, the distance of the car from the owner does not matter.

The alarms are compatible with modern K-Line and CAN buses, which allows them to be installed on the latest car models. The control module located in the cabin controls the door locks, ignition and fuel supply systems.

The alarm key fob is a multifunctional unit with 4 buttons and a display. Regardless of the device model, key fobs have the following basic functions:

• protection against interception of radio codes;
• synchronization of readings between devices;
• two-channel control;
• battery level indicator;
• battery charge icon;
• two-way signal strength indicator;
• programming alarm functions by pressing buttons.

Specifications

In addition to what is described above, the Magikar 3 model has the following list of options:

The main advantage of the model range is the special MAGIC CODE coding system, which changes the code every time you press a key on the key fob. The keychain is powered by one AAA element. All actions are accompanied by lighting and sound signals. Settings are made using 4 buttons.

• Scher-Khan Magicar processor module;
• main pager with LCD display;
• spare key fob without display;
• installation kit;
• shock sensor;
• signaling;
• call module from the car;
• antenna module;
• relay;
• Light-emitting diode.

How to enable autorun

Automatic engine start in Sherkhan alarms is adjusted by time and temperature. Before using this option, you must set the correct current time, otherwise autorun will not work correctly.

In the Magikar 3 model, you can enable automatic start using a timer or remotely from the control key fob. To avoid mistakes and inaccuracies, the setting takes place with the engine turned off and the security mode active.

To activate autorun by timer, you need to simultaneously press buttons No. 2 and No. 4 for half a second. Entering the program menu is achieved by simultaneously pressing the keys for 2 seconds: for the first menu - 1 and 2 keys, for the second - 1 and 4. Starting the engine is remotely activated by holding button No. 2 for 2 seconds. You can set the start after 5, 15, 25 and 45 minutes.

To activate the automatic start option, it is important to take into account the starter cranking time so that the vehicle has time to warm up before the owner arrives.

Alarm Sherkhan operating principle

Functionally, the alarm system is divided into security and control blocks. The security unit is mounted in the car interior and responds to attempts of unauthorized entry into the cabin and starting the engine. To do this, it is equipped with shock and movement sensors and a channel for receiving data from the ECU and door opening sensors.

The alarm module is connected to the on-board computer, engine control unit and central locking by wires or via CAN and K-LINE buses (if available).

The control unit is presented in the form of a key fob and in some Sherkhan models it can be duplicated by an interior control module. The alarm key fob carries out radio exchange with the control unit. Commands are sent in encrypted form, which eliminates the possibility of their substitution and interception.

Scher-Khan 6 - a well-thought-out “two-sided without launching”

September 20, 2005

So, let's open the box and see what is offered in the Scher-Khan 6 kit. The alarm was announced as a reliable two-way car alarm without starting the engine. Indeed, if you pay attention to the statistics of installations of two-way car alarms with starting, it is striking that only in 20-30% of cases this engine starting is realized. Hence the question: why overpay for functions that are not implemented?

Whatever you say, it’s nice when the car alarm package includes everything to connect it. This is exactly the case here. It is especially worth noting that the one-sided keychain in all previous versions of Scher-Khan was purchased separately and was not cheap (about $20). Here it is included in the kit.

Let's take the main car alarm unit and, after some simple manipulations with a screwdriver, look under the body. We see that the board is made carefully, using SMD technology, however, like most modern car alarms. It is immediately noticeable that four proprietary, apparently very reliable, thirty-ampere (most car alarms use 20-ampere) Magicar relays are used here. Two relays for the central locking, 1 relay for the light alarm and 1 relay for unlocking the trunk.

Now let’s highlight the main differences between the “sixth Sherkhan” and previous versions, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of car alarms, both from the point of view of the car owner, and from the point of view of the installer and the alleged thief.

The first thing we should thank the manufacturer for is the separation of control of the disarm and arm modes on different buttons when using the proprietary Magic Code. Agree that although this is not a panacea for code selection, it will still complicate the hijacker’s task.

In the new alarm system, recording new key fobs into the system is only possible when entering a PIN code. This means that there is no possibility of introducing a new key fob capable of controlling a car alarm, for example, in a car service or at a car wash, when you leave the keys with key fobs and the car itself to strangers. In Scher-Khan Magicar V, a PIN code is not required to enter new key fobs into the system.

Unlike the fifth version of Scher-Khan, in the sixth it is possible to programmatically bind additional channels to events. For example, in the fifth version, in order to close the windows when arming, you had to press an additional button after turning on the “security” mode. In the sixth one you don’t have to do this - you just need to program an additional channel. That is, now there is no need to make unnecessary movements to implement, for example, such comfort functions as a “light path” (car headlights turn on after arming) or a “turbo timer” (two-minute cooling of the turbine at idle engine speed) and others.

The call sensor in the Scher-Khan 6 car alarm is designed to call the owner. It is attached to the car window. When you tap on the glass, a call is sent to the car alarm key fob. In the fifth version, one hit on the glass in the sensor area was enough, which sometimes led to false alarms. In Scher-Khan 6 you need to make a double weak blow.

I would also like to draw your attention to the presence, in the fifth version of Scher-Khan, of the ability to open the trunk lock in security mode, the presence of a temperature sensor, the readings of which are visible on the display of the double-sided key fob.

There is also a “hands-free” mode in which to arm and disarm you only need to approach or move away from the car with the key fob in your pocket. Since in this mode the key fob operates on the principle of a transponder tag, radio signal encoding is especially relevant here. We answer, it is dynamic. It should be noted, however, that in this mode the battery life is significantly reduced.

As in the fifth version, the sixth uses FM modulation of the radio channel, which allows you to increase the communication range between the alarm and the key fob in dense urban areas. According to the passport, the communication range is 1500 meters.

In conclusion, we note that like all Scher-Khan car alarms, this one is assembled in South Korea, and the reliability of the device can be the envy of many manufacturers of anti-theft equipment. Therefore, we recommend this device to our visitors.

The engine started, but it doesn’t show on the key fob

If the car was started not from an additional key fob, but from the main one, and incorrect information is displayed on it, then you should look for an error made when installing the alarm system.

Check that each connector on the main module is connected correctly. If there is no malfunction, contact a specialist.

The battery image shows the charge level of the power supply, 4 letters Z - enable VALET mode. The digital indicator informs about time, temperature and voltage in the machine’s on-board network.

The speaker symbol informs about the start of the siren, the crossed out hammer - deactivates the shock sensor, and the image of a cell phone - activates the vibration alert.

The icons on the key fob displays are intuitive. The image of burning headlights indicates that the light alarm is turned on, and a cloud of exhaust gases indicates that the car’s engine is running.

Pager programming

Programming the Sherkhan Logicar A car alarm key fob allows you to save the codes of 3 communicators in the system memory. For this:

1. You should disable the security mode and turn on the car ignition.
2. Press and hold the call sensor key for 2 seconds. The hazard lights will flash 1 time.
3. In a 5-second period, press the sensor button once. If PIN entry mode is not activated, the lights will blink twice. When the mode is turned on 1 time, then you need to enter the PIN, the system will turn the hazard lights on and off 2 times.
4. The LED will light up, which confirms that the system is ready to record the communicator code.
5. You need to press key 1 on the key fob once; the system allocates 5 seconds for this procedure. Then repeat this operation on key fobs 2 and 3. When recording the code, the lights will flash 1 time.
6. After recording code 3 of the communicator, the lights will blink 2 times and the system will return to normal mode.

Operating modes

1. When you open the doors or trunk of a car that has the security function turned on, the alarm mode will go off.
2. When the communicator receives a danger signal that has not been deactivated by pressing keys 1 or 2, it enters reminder mode by emitting audible alarms.
3. When you hold down key 1 of the key fob for 2 seconds, the “panic” mode will turn on when the engine is off or the JackStop mode otherwise. The siren will sound and the car doors will lock.

How to enable autorun

To enable autostart mode using a timer, the car must be armed, the time has been set on the communicator, and autostart has been configured. Actions that enable automatic startup mode on the communicator are to simultaneously briefly press keys 2 and 4. Timer will appear on the display.

How does the alarm work?

The third generation Scher-Khan Maqicar alarm system has advanced functionality and operates in the following main modes:

1. Standard vehicle security mode, which involves manual or automatic activation of the alarm. A two-stage setup using a personal code is possible.
2. The security option with the engine on is used for remote warming up and short-term abandonment of the vehicle.
3. Autostart mode allows you to remotely start the engine at a specified time or temperature.
4. The programming mode allows you to set individual parameters for the operation of the anti-theft system. Detailed setup instructions are provided in the user manual.
5. The Valet option provides emergency door opening without starting the engine.

Any interactions between the key fob and the system are provided by a radio signal. The principle of operation of the antenna unit is to provide two-way communication at a distance of up to 1500 m. The distance may vary depending on the installation of antennas and the presence of interference in the signal path.

Advantages and disadvantages

The positive qualities of the Sherkhan car alarm include:

• a range of up to 1.5 km allows you to monitor the car in the parking lot;
• the use of different communication channels protects the signal from scanning;
• installed on vehicles with any type of engine, transmission and voltage;
• remote control of Valet mode;
• the ability to control door locks, opening the hood and trunk.

Car owners have not noted any technical shortcomings, but there are a number of operational issues that affect the operation of the system:

• the battery in the key fob is quickly consumed;
• reinforced concrete buildings reduce signal quality;
• the hood and trunk can only be opened from a short distance;
• At low temperatures there is a delay between pressing the button and executing the function.

How to install?

Step-by-step installation algorithm:

Mount the main unit inside the instrument panel. The block is attached to a plastic panel body or a metal load-bearing frame. Double-sided tape or plastic ties are used for fixation. There are no standard fastening points with self-tapping screws on the block. It is recommended to place the unit at a distance from the standard electronic components of the car, which may emit radio interference. Install the antenna. The location is usually the windshield of a car. The antenna elements must be located at a distance of at least 5 cm from metal parts of the body. The antenna unit is located vertically, thereby ensuring maximum communication range

The wire is laid under the headliner and along the front pillars, subject to safety precautions. The manufacturer allows the antenna to be placed secretly, under plastic panels

In this case, the signal level may decrease and the range may be reduced. It is not allowed to install the unit under metal panels that will shield the signal. Stick a status indicator diode on the windshield and lay a signal wire. The diode can be located in a hole made on the plastic elements of the instrument panel or the trim of the front pillars. It is possible to fix the diode in the hole with glue or sealant. Install a siren on the engine side of the engine shield. Lay signal wires from the siren connector to the main unit. When installing a non-standard siren, follow the connection instructions. Modern cars can be equipped with signal switches in the trunk and hood locks. In the absence of such devices, free-standing mechanical limit switches are used. Installation is carried out in a hole made on the body or on a separate bracket attached to the body. The limit switch rod should not interfere with loading cargo into the trunk or maintenance of components and assemblies. Place an impact sensor in the cabin. For installation, standard self-tapping screws, plastic ties or double-sided tape can be used. Install an additional sensor that is used to control interior volume. Check the wiring to the main unit and connect them in accordance with the wiring diagram.

How to install an alarm?

The alarm can be installed in a garage. You must first prepare a set of tools for installation and also disconnect the battery.

To install an anti-theft system you need to have:

• multimeter for measuring voltage and determining breaks (short circuits) in electrical circuits;
• Screwdriver Set;
• set of socket wrenches;
• soldering iron;
• wire stripper;
• mounting blades for disassembling the interior;
• black electrical tape;
• foam;
• double sided tape;
• plastic clamps for fastening wiring.

Step-by-step instruction

The installation procedure is as follows:

The microprocessor module is installed hidden in the vehicle interior. It can be located behind the instrument cluster, glove box or under the dashboard. It is advisable that in order to gain access to the device you have to disassemble the trim in the cabin, this will prevent the car from being stolen quickly. Double-sided tape or plastic ties are used to secure it. The transceiver module is mounted in the upper corner of the windshield or rear window

It is important that the distance from the antenna to metal objects is at least 5 cm, this will avoid interference. Before installation, the glass surface must be cleaned

If the installation is carried out in winter, then its temperature can be at least 10 degrees Celsius. The wire from the antenna to the microprocessor module is laid under the decorative trim of the interior; during installation, care must be taken to ensure that the cable is not pinched. The LED indicator is mounted in the corner of the front glass. First, its surface must be cleaned and degreased. You can embed the LED indicator into the dashboard, then you must first make a hole in it to install the light bulb. The siren is located under the hood of the car, in a place that is maximally protected from external influences from under the bottom of the car. Do not install the siren near heating units and moving parts. It is recommended to place the device's horn down to prevent moisture from forming inside. The hood limit switch is mounted on a metal surface that is as close to the body as possible. There should be no accumulation of moisture at the installation site. When the hood is locked, the sensor is protected by a rubber seal. The shock sensor is fixed in the car using two bolts. During installation, it must be taken into account that the consumer must have access to the controller to change the sensitivity parameter. The sensor is equipped with two regulators. The first determines the sensitivity of the warning zone, and the second - the alarm zone. For fixation, it is better to choose the central part of the body so that the device detects physical impacts from all sides of the body. If additional controllers are used, their installation is carried out taking into account the manufacturer’s recommendations. For example, the engine temperature sensor must be installed in the cooling system line. After installing all the elements, they are connected to the control unit. The wires are laid under the decorative lining of the car interior.

How to set up a MOBICAR car alarm

The MOBICAR system implements modern developments in the field of car protection against theft. The package includes a compact control key fob, digital shock sensors, and a small processor unit. It’s not difficult to understand the setup, despite the large number of built-in functions.

Among the main functions that need to be configured in the MOBICAR car alarm are:

• car autostart;
• setting automatic alarm activation;
• sensitivity adjustment;
• turning the shock sensor on and off.

The first thing you should learn is to start and stop the car using the key fob. This is a convenient feature that allows you to warm up your car in winter while you are leaving the house. Or turn off the engine if you stay in the store for a long time, so as not to overheat the vehicle.

Setting up engine autostart

You can start the engine remotely from the key fob only in security mode. For a vehicle with a manual transmission, it is necessary to prepare for starting, for this:

1. With the engine running and the doors closed, as well as the parking brake on and the brake pedal lowered, press button III of the key fob.
2. If the car has an ignition switch, the key must be removed under the conditions described above. If there is a Start/Stop button, you do not need to press it.
3. After the completed manipulations, get out of the car and press the security button (short press the I button).

To autostart Scher-Khan on this alarm model, you must press the following buttons:

1. Long press on “III”, and an image of smoke will appear on the key fob, which means the engine will start.
2. The autostart time countdown will begin; to restart it, briefly press the same button.
3. To turn off the mode, hold III on the key fob until a beep sounds.

You can set the autostart time manually, and also select the mode to turn off the motor at a given temperature. For this:

When setting the warm-up time, you need to take into account the climate mode, and you can also select the functions of morning and evening autostart. With such simple manipulations with the key fob, you can set any car to autostart. Do not forget that with a manual transmission it is necessary to carry out preliminary preparation according to the instructions described above.

Switching to car control after autostart

After performing a remote engine start, you should take control of the car into your own hands when you get to it. For this:

• press the brake pedal;
• disengage the standing brake;
• remove the automatic transmission from parking mode.

In this case, you do not need to press anything on the key fob. After performing one of the listed manipulations, you will hear a sound signal and one blink of the headlights, which indicates that autostart is disabled.

Possible errors when enabling the autorun function

If you do not meet the conditions for enabling autorun, the system will generate a number of errors that need to be eliminated. Among all the codes on the key fob there are:

• ER:01 – the engine is on, you need to turn off the car to continue the settings;
• 02 – ignition on: turn off and remove the key to continue working with the alarm;
• 03 – the door is open. When the doors are unlocked, the security mode does not turn on;
• 04 – hood open;
• 05 – not set to autostart due to lack of preparation in cars with manual transmission;
• 06 – standing brake is not engaged;
• 07 – brake pedal pressed;
• 08 – the motor does not work, it is worth starting the engine and continuing with the settings;
• 09 – trunk open;
• 10 – ignition is set incorrectly;
• 11 – 19 – there was an alarm.

If autostart of the car from the key fob does not work, check for these errors, as well as whether the alarm itself is installed correctly. The initial setup and installation should be carried out by a car service specialist in order to avoid disastrous consequences of device failure.

Important! To correctly and quickly set the autostart time or set up an alarm, carefully read the operating instructions, which describe in detail all the functions of the device.

User manual

The operating instructions for the 3rd generation of Magikar security systems contain complete information on setting up the system, linking the key fob, programming options, avoiding breakdowns and their possible causes. Programming of functions occurs by a combination of 4 keys. The process of returning to factory settings is described.

It should be remembered that programming is performed exclusively from the main pager with a screen. A complete user manual for Khan Magicar 3 in Russian is included with the device. You can configure the system yourself, following the instructions, or at a service center for a fee.
