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 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 will not 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. These will be pre- programmed to your Anti-Theft System. 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 flash once. Now press Button A on the remote control and the LED will flash. The Remote Control is now programmed. Repeat for the Panic Alarm on 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 flash once. Now turn on the power on the PIR with the switch on the side of the PIR. The LED will turn solid. The PIR is now programmed. Multiple PIR units can be programmed by repeating the above instructions.

• Programming the Magnetic Door Switch
  Ensure the door is closed. Press the RF button on the front panel and the LED will start flashing. Open the door and the LED will turn solid. 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, if this is not practically possible then at the highest point available. 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.
