Specification

WFS200 is a transponder immobilizer (wireless authorization) powered by 12V/24V, that operates on the frequency of 125kHz and offers basic anti-theft functionality. Despite its simple design, the WFS200 immobilizer features all logical operations and self-check functions. The WFS200 features 2 internal electrical cut-off relays, operating on normally closed (NC) contacts. The immobilizer is operated by pendant-shaped transponders (2 transponders are included). The immobilizer installation kit includes: a central unit, a 16-connector bundle of wires with a buzzer, LED, authorization switch, and antenna.

Functions

• The ability to assign up to 30 transponders
• 2 x electrical cut-off circuits in the NC configuration (normally closed, 2 x 30A/15A relays)
• AS – Authorization Switch used for entering PIN CODE
• STATUS output line (active low state)
• HORN output line (active low state)
• Auto-arming
• Service mode
• 4 programmable functions

Disarming the Immobilizer
To disarm the immobilizer, place the transponder close to the receiving antenna. Disarming the immobilizer is signaled in the following way:

• Buzzer: 2 short signals
• LED: Goes OFF (stops flashing)
• Status: High impedance state. (each transponder read-out, while the immobilizer is disarmed, is signaled by 2 buzzer sounds)

Non-Transponder Disarming the Immobilizer
In case of losing or damaging the transponder, there is the possibility of the immobilizer disarming using the 4-digit PIN CODE entered with the Authorization Switch (AS). Example of entering the PIN CODE 1 2 3

• Turn ignition off (if it is turned on)
• First Digit 1: Press AS 1 time (The LED starts light constantly), after 2 seconds the single buzzer signal confirms the digit was entered
• Second Digit 2: Press AS 2 times, after 2 seconds the single buzzer signal confirms the digit was entered
• Third Digit 3: Press AS 3 times, after 2 seconds the single buzzer signal confirms the digit was entered
• Fourth Digit 4: Press AS 4 times, after 2 seconds the single buzzer signal confirms the digit was entered
• The LED goes off Entering the correct PIN CODE will be confirmed with 2 buzzer short signals, and the immobilizer will be disarmed. In case the entered PIN CODE is incorrect there will be heard single, long for 3 sec. buzzer signal.

Entering the incorrect PIN CODE for the fourth time causes further entering PIN CODE to be impossible for 60 sec. Every pressing the Authorization Switch in this case causes the long for 3 sec. buzzer signal.

Auto-Arming of the Immobilizer
The immobilizer is automatically armed after a defined period (30 seconds or 3 minutes, depending on the ” auto-arming time” function setting see the chapter ” Programmable functions” of the manual) from the moment of turning the ignition off.

NOTE!

• The factory setting of PIN CODE is 2 2 2 2

LED Signals

• LED Off : The immobilizer is disarmed.
• LED Flashes : The immobilizer is armed.
• LED On : Indication that the armed immobilizer enters the alarming state with HORN output active or state of entering the PIN CODE (after pressing AS).

Status Output

• Ground level (Imax= 0mA)5:The immobilizer is armed
• High impedance state: The immobilizer is disarmed

Horn Output
The intermittent signal (0,5 sec. ON – 1 sec. OFF) for 30 seconds Turns the ignition on for the time. .longer than 10 sec when the immobilizer is armed causes the LED to begin to light constantly and triggers the intermittent operation of the HORN. The alarm can be interrupted by disarming the immobilizer (placing the transponder close to the antenna). The output active state: ground level (Imax=50mA).

Immobilizer “Service” Mode
The ” service” mode is used when it is necessary to leave the car for servicing, to enable the service teams to access and operate the vehicle. In this mode, the immobilizer is disarmed (no auto-arming) while the power-saving mode for the antenna circuit is active.

Activation of the Service mode

1. Disarm the immobilizer
2. Turn the ignition ON
3. Place the transponder close to the antenna for 10 sec, until you hear a single, 2-second buzzer. sound and then move the transponder away from the antenna vicinity and turn the ignition OFF within the 5 sec time.
4. The immobilizer is now in the ” service” mode.

Deactivation of the service
To deactivate the ” service” mode you should proceed in the same way as when activating the ” service” mode.

Programmable Functions

Instruction

1. Activate the immobilizer ” service” mode.
2. Turn the ignition OFF (if it is turned on).
3. Place the transponder close to the antenna for 10 sec, until you hear a 5-second buzzer sound and. then move the transponder away from the antenna vicinity.
4. The buzzer will start beeping to indicate the number of the current programmable function and its current setting by emitting short signals with 3-second intervals (see the table below) The selection. of the function setting is confirmed by placing the transponder close to the antenna after a particular number is signaled by the table below (the number of the buzzer signals) for approx. 2 seconds. The setting of the function is confirmed by a 5-second buzzer sound.
5. Holding the transponder briefly to the read coil allows you to jump further into the table. Long hold (approx. 2 seconds) of the transponder to the reading coil, selects the function and is confirmed by 5- 5-second beeps of the buzzer.
6. If within 5 sec of signaling the last function number the transponder is not placed close to the antenna, the programming mode is deactivated. Deactivation of the programmable functions mode is signaled by a 5-second buzzer sound.
7. Deactivate the immobilizer ” service” mode.

Description of the Programmable Functions

1. The immobilizer will be automatically armed after 3 minutes from turning the ignition off.
2. The immobilizer will be automatically armed after 30 seconds of turning the ignition off.
3. Turning the ignition on while the immobilizer is armed will immediately disconnect the locked circuits.
4. Turning the ignition on while the immobilizer is armed will disconnect the locked circuits with a 10-second delay.
5. Transponders should be assigned to a device by placing them close to the antenna (once), with 4-sec. intervals for each transponder. You can assign max. 30 transponders to immobilizer. The immobilizer will automatically leave the assigning mode if it does not read any transponder for 5 sec. or if it is the 30th transponder assigned. You should assign all transponders the immobilizer is to read. This mode of transponder assigning does not modify the settings of the programmable.
6. PIN CODE is programmed using the Authorization Switch (AS) after turning the LED on.

Example of programming the PIN CODE 1 2 3 4

• FIRST DIGIT 1: Press AS 1 time, after 2 seconds the single buzzer signal confirms the digit was entered;
• SECOND DIGIT 2: Press AS 2 times, after 2 seconds the single buzzer signal confirms the digit was entered;
• THIRD DIGIT 3: Press AS 3 times, after 2 seconds the single buzzer signal confirms the digit was entered;
• FOURTH DIGIT 4: Press AS 4 times, after 2 seconds the single buzzer signal confirms the digit was entered.
• PIN CODE was changed. The LED goes off.

WHERE AND HOW TO INSTALL THE IMMOBILIZER
The immobilizer main control unit should be mounted inside the vehicle cabin, preferably under the dashboard. You should avoid places exposed to humidity, e.g. areas near air-conditioning outlets, etc. The main control unit should be mounted to the vehicle’s fixed elements, using band clips.

INSTALLATION OF THE RECEIVING ANTENNA
To avoid a significant reduction of the transponder reading range, the receiving antenna should be installed under the upholstery, an adequate distance from the vehicle’s metal parts. It is not permissible to shorten or lengthen the antenna.

INSTALLATION OF THE BUZZER
The buzzer should be installed in a place that would ensure good conditions for the propagation of emitted sound signals.

INSTALLATION OF THE LED
The LED should be installed in a place visible to the vehicle user. You should avoid places exposed to excess sunlight.

INSTALLATION OF THE AUTHORIZATION SWITCH (AS)
The authorization switch should be mounted in an easily accessible though hidden place.

CONNECTING THE IGNITION INPUT
Connection should be made to the wire with +12/24VDC when the ignition is switched to the ON position.

In – and Outputs

Description of Inputs

• Antenna input: Terminal of the antenna that generates low power electromagnetic field of the 125 kHz frequency. Authorization switch: Input used for entering PIN CODE, triggered by providing ground. •• Ignition: Ignition ON identification input, triggered by supply of +12/24V.
• +12/24V: Main power supply input +12/24V.
• Ground: Ground power supply.

Description of Outputs

• Buzzer: Control output providing +5V(max. 50mA).
• LED: Control output providing +5V(max. 5mA).
• Status: Control output providing ground level in active mode (max. 50mA).
• Horn: Control output providing ground level in active mode (max. 50mA).
• Cut-Off Circuits : 2 independent NC (normally closed) circuits with a load-carrying capacity of each circuit of 30A (+12V) / 15A (+24V).

Factory Assigning Transponders

Turning on the power supply with shorted pins as described in the picture will enter the mode of factory transponders assignment, which is signaled with a single, short buzzer sound. The assignment process involves placing transponders close to the antenna one by one, confirmed each time with a single, short buzzer sound. After all 30 transponders are assigned to the device or if it does not read any transponder for 5 seconds the assignment mode is automatically deactivated, which is signaled by a 5-second buzzer sound. This mode of transponder assignment modifies the settings of the programmable functions, resetting them to factory defaults.
