Arming mode
The arming mode monitors security zones and provides engine blocking. If one of the security zones is triggered, the system will record this event in its nonvolatile memory, activate the alarm or warning mode and inform an owner with an indication of the zone. If the system is armed, the engine is running, and one of the security zones is triggered, the system will stop the engine. Arming/disarming, alarm mode and warnings are accompanied by sound and light signals. The system confirms arming with 1 sound signal and 1 flash of the turn indicators. The system confirms disarming with 2 short sound signals and 2 flashes of the turn indicators. If one of the security zones is opened, the system will produce 4 warning sounds and 4 flashes of the turn indicators at the moment of arming.

The system will also produce 4 warning sounds and 4 flashes of the turn indicators at the moment of disarming if there were alarm events during the armed period. The system activates light and sound signals for 30 seconds in the alarm mode. The alarm signals can be cancelled by an arming or disarming command. If a warning zone is triggered, the system will produce 1 sound signal and 1 flash of the turn indicators. If one of the security zones fails, the system will forcibly turn off this zone. If a switch triggers more than 9 times in a row, it will be disabled until the next arming. The shock/tilt/motion sensor is temporarily deactivated (15 sec.) if it has been triggered more than 3 times in a row.

Multi-button code immobilizer
Multi-button code immobilizer (pin-to-drive) is a function that allows disarming, disabling blocking and controlling Service mode and time channels using original vehicle controls (button, lever or pedal) and a pre-programmed PINcode (the “Immobilizer PIN-code”). The function works using special analog inputs or digital buses of a car.An example of using the function: Turn on the ignition to disable engine blocking or Service mode, turning on the ignition is not required if you want to disarm the system or control time channels. Enter the “Immobilizer PIN-code”. Press a programmed button/lever/pedal the number of times equals to the first digit. Pauses between presses should not exceed 1 second. More than 1 second pause will be interpreted as the start of the next digit input. The immobilizer code can consist max of 4 digits from 1 to 9.

• Turn on the ignition to disable engine blocking or service mode, turning on the ignition is not required if you want to disarm the system or control time channels.
• Enter the “Immobilizer PIN-code”. Press a programmed button/lever/pedal the number of times equals to the first digit. Pauses between presses should not exceed 1 second. More than 1 second pause will be interpreted as the start of the next digit input. The immobilizer code can consist max of 4 digits from 1 to 9.
• The system will confirm the correct input by a sound signal of the beeper and a programmed function will be performed.

NOTE ! It is requir ed to make additiona l conn ections an d setting s to use this function.

Immobilizer mode
When switching on the ignition, a base unit of the security system performs a search for immobilizer tags in radio zone. If no radio tags are detected at the time of switching on the ignition, the system will block the engine. Engine blocking will occur immediately or at the time a motion sensor detects movement, it depends on the system settings.

WARNING!
If the system does not recognize a radio tag, the beeper will emit 5 sound signals when the ignition is turned on, this will repeat 5 times. Check a radio tag battery, move a tag (it goes to the sleep mode when it remains motionless and the ignition is off. A built-in accelerom- eter have to recognize movement to activate a tag).

NOTE!
This mode is enabled by default. Use the Pandora Specialist to enable/ disable this mode.

Anti-Hi-Jack mode
The Anti-Hi-Jack mode helps to prevent aggressive seizure of a car using delayed engine blocking on door opening. Every time on opening/closing a door when the ignition is on, the system requests a response from a radio tag using a unique algorithm. After a door was opened while the ignition is on, if the system cannot detect a radio tag, the engine will be stopped after 1 minute (general safety requirement). The siren will play the ‘ENGINE BLOCKING WARNING’ ringtone before blocking. The engine will be blocked immediately or at the time the car starts moving, it depends on system settings. Blocking will be disabled if the system detects a radio tag.

NOTE! This mode is disabled by default. Use the Pandora Specialist to enable/ disable this mode

Anti-Hi-Jack 2 mode
The Anti-Hi-Jack-2 mode helps to prevent aggressive seizure of a car using delayed engine blocking on radio tag disappearance. The system constantly requests a response from a tag using a unique algorithm when the ignition is on. If the system cannot detect a radio tag, the engine will be stopped after 1 minute (general safety requirement for car movement). The siren will play the ‘ENGINE BLOCKING WARNING’ ringtone before blocking. When warning signals end, the system will block the engine. Engine blocking will occur immediately or at the time the car starts moving, it depends on block implementation and system settings.

NOTE! This mode is disabled by default. Use the Pandora Specialist to enable/ disable this mode

SYSTEM INSTALLATION

General installation requirements

• Install the base unit only inside car interior.
• Install securely each system’s component, as conditions of the car standard operation can harm functionality of the alarm system and cause damage to the car original systems, including the elements of safety in motion.
• The system installation should be performed when the system sockets and the negative battery terminal are disconnected.
• The base unit power supply should be switched off when connecting to CAN-bus.
• The system installation can be performed via twisting together or via leadtin soldering followed by isolation of a switching place.
• When wiring, pay attention to sections and materials of switched conductors, if they are different, bring electrochemical potentials to the Mini V4mal difference. The isolation should not allow for moisture to reach wiring, as the presence of moisture will increase electrochemical destruction of wires (this is especially important for the large current circuits).
• Switched connections should be placed as high as it is possible in the cavities so water condensate will not form drops on the switching location.
• To avoid the destruction of compounds by car vibration, ensure that there is a bit of free length to the wiring, providing enough sagging.
• Do not allow wiring in places where the wires isolation can be destroyed by abrasion.
• Electronic system units should be placed sockets down and as high as possible to avoid condensate reaching electronic components through the socket.
• When installing base unit, secure it to the car body for correct operation of in-built shock sensor.
• All unused system wires during the installation must be insulated and secured to prevent accidental touching of a car body or other wires.
