Operating your WiTi Anti-Theft System
WiTi Anti-Theft is Australia’s leading Anti-Theft and Intrusion Detection
System designed for caravans and trailers.
In the event an attempt is made to tow the caravan or trailer the Anti-Theft
system will be activated. All the lights flash, the alarm sounds and the
brakes are applied making it impossible to tow the caravan or trailer. This
continues as long as movement is detected. Once movement ceases WiTi Anti-
Theft will reset after 30 seconds. WiTi Anti-Theft is sensitive to
acceleration and high frequency impacts (metal on metal).
A sideways / rocking motion has been programmed out to prevent activation in
windy conditions.
WiTi Anti-Theft includes a Passive Infra Red Motion Sensor and a Magnetic Door
Switch. If the door is opened or movement is detected within the caravan or
trailer then the system will be activated. The Motion Sensor can be switched
on/off via the switch on the side of the Motion Sensor Unit. By switching off
the Motion Sensor the alarm can be activated while moving around inside the
caravan.
To activate WiTi Anti-Theft, press button A on the remote control, the side
and front markers and indicators will flash once followed by a 3 second safety
pause and then a double flash to indicate the system is armed. The Alarm
Status LED will illuminate. To deactivate, press button A again, the side and
front markers and indicators will flash
once and the Alarm Status LED will switch off.
Button B on the remote control activates an emergency Panic Alarm. To activate
the Panic Alarm, press and hold Button B for 3 seconds. To deactivate press
and release button B again.
WiTi incorporates an advanced safety system to ensure the system cannot be
accidentally activated whilst the caravan or trailer is being towed. After
activating the system, if movement is detected during the 3 second safety
pause the system will not arm. The lights will not flash twice and the Alarm
Status LED will not illuminate.
WiTi Anti-Theft front panel indicator lights
There are two LED’s embedded in the WiTi logo. When the unit is receiving
power the orange LED will illuminate. When the unit is paired and linked to a
WiTi Wireless Brake Controller or WiTi Wireless Towing Interface then the red
LED will illuminate.
The 7 coloured LED’s correspond to the various outputs and are colour matched
to the wires on the wiring loom. These will illuminate when the corresponding
output is active. This will assist with fault finding and confirming that the
outputs are functioning correctly.
LI – left indicator
RI – right indicator
BL – brake light
DL – driving lights and side markers
RL – reverse light
SB – service brakes
IG – vehicle ignition
The following LED’s describe fault conditions:
SC – short circuit
RP – reverse polarity
OV – over voltage
The RESET and PAIR buttons are used to pair WiTi Anti-Theft to a WiTi Wireless
Brake Controller or WiTi Wireless Towing Interface. Please follow the
instructions contained in those guides for the pairing process.
The RF button is used to programme remote controls and sensors to WiTi Anti-
Theft.
Programming Remote Controls and Sensors
The WiTi Anti-Theft system is supplied with two remote controls, a Passive
Infra-Red Motion Sensor and a Magnetic Switch Sensor.
Additional PIR Motion Sensors and Magnetic Door Switches can be purchased from
WiTi and added to your existing system by following the instructions below.
Programming remote controls
For each new remote control, press the RF Button on the front panel.
The blue LED above the button will start flash once to indicate it is in
pairng mode. Now press Button A on the remote control and the LED will flash
repeatedly for a few seconds. Repeat for Button B.
Programming the PIR Sensor
Turn the power off on the PIR by using the slide switch located on the left
hand side of the unit. Press the RF button on the front panel and the LED will
start flash once to indicate it is in pairing mode. Now turn the power on on
the PIR with the switch on the side of the PIR. The LED will flash repeatedly
for a few seconds. The PIR is now programmed. Multiple PIR units can be
programmed by repeating the above instructions.
Programming the Magnetic Door Switch
Enusre the door is closed. Press the RF button on the front panel and the LED
will start flash once to indicte it is in pairing mode. Open the door and the
LED will flash repeatedly for a few seconds. The door magnet is now
programmed. Multiple Magnetic Door Switches can be programmed by repeating the
above instructions.
Clearing all programmed units
To clear all previously programmed units press and hold the RF Button on the
front panel for 10 seconds. This will erase all previously programmed remote
controls and sensors.
Replacing batteries in Remote Controls and Sensors
Remote Controls
Remove the three small screws on the back cover of the remote control and
remove the cover. Replace the battery with type 27A 12V. Replace the cover and
tighten the three small screws in place.
PIR Motion Sensor
Switch off the PIR with the slide switch on the side of the unit. Remove the
screw at the base of the unit and gently pry off the cover. Replace the
battery with a standard 9V Alkaline battery. Replace the cover and tighten the
screw at the base of the unit.
Magnetic Door Switch
Pry the cover off the larger magnetic switch component, the one with the blue
LED. Remove the old battery and replace it with type 23A 12V.
Replace the cover.
- Please discard old batteries in a responsible manner.
Installation Instructions
WiTi Anti-Theft System
The unit must be installed vertically and facing either the front or rear of
the caravan or trailer with the wiring harness protruding from the bottom of
the unit. WiTi uses gravity to initialise the gyroscope and detects
acceleration in the direction of travel. If not installed correctly
functionality will be compromised. The unit must be installed inside the
caravan or trailer and it is recommended the unit is installed towards the
front of the caravan or trailer. This will make the unit more sensitive to
attempts to hitch up or knocks onto the tow hitch. The unit can be screwed
onto a panel through the mounting lugs using appropriate sized screws.
The horn must be installed at least 1 metre away from the Trailer Unit and on
a different mounting surface to prevent interference from vibration. If the
horn is installed too close to the Anti-Theft System, the vibration will be
detected as movement and the alarm will continue sounding. The horn is weather
proof so it can be installed externally.
The Alarm Status LED outputs must be connected to the supplied 12V LED as per
the wiring instructions. The LED will light when the alarm is armed and switch
off when the alarm is disarmed. The LED will flash if a short circuit or
overload is detected. Install the LED in an area which is visible to the user.
The caravan or trailer battery must be connected to an acceptable charging
circuit – either solar panels, anderson plug or DCDC charger.
The wiring loom is supplied with two inline fuses for the power circuit and
service brake circuit. The power circuit must be protected by a 30A fuse and
the service brake circuit by a 25A fuse. In the case of a single axle caravan
or trailer this can be replaced by a 20A fuse.
PIR Motion Sensor
Install the PIR inside the caravan / trailer facing North/South so that it
will detect movement along the length of the van. The PIR has a range of 11m
and will cover the entire length of the caravan. Do not install it under or
near an air conditioning unit, near a heat source (oven / extractor fan) or in
an area which receives direct sun light. Install at a height of approximately
2.2m above the floor. Turn the sensor on with the switch on the side of the
unit, the LED will flash briefly and the Sensor will run a self test for
approximately 30 seconds, it will then enter normal operating mode. If
movement is detected a signal will be sent to the WiTi Anti-Theft System
causing it to activate the alarm.
Magnetic Door Switch
Install the door switch on either side of the door frame in a manner such that
opening the door will cause the two components to move apart thus activating
the sensor. Mount each side using the double sided tape included with the
switch.
When the switch is activated a blue LED will light and a signal will be sent
to the WiTi Anti-Theft System causing it to activate the alarm.
Circuit Protection and Fault Conditions
In the event a short circuit or an overload is detected, WiTi Anti-Theft will
disable all functions and the corresponding LED will light on the front panel.
All functions will cease until the error has been adressed and the appropriate
circuits repaired.
In the event of a reverse polarity the corresponding LED will light and all
power to the circuit board will be cut.
NOTE: When servicing the electric brakes or magnets it is recommended WiTi is
disconnected to prevent accidental short circuits.
