witi Anti-Theft Highly Sensitive Gyroscope and Accelerometer System
Warnings & Safety Instructions
Do not operate WiTi unless you have read and understood this manual. Ensure WiTi is installed as per the instructions, failure to do so will void warranty.
Ensure the cable used to install WiTi Anti-Theft is of adequate thickness to
provide the necessary current for the circuit.
WiTi Anti-Theft must be installed away from environmental conditions that may
cause damage to the units circuitry including water, salt spray and humidity.
WiTi Anti-Theft is connected to the internal house battery of the caravan or
trailer, insufficient charge of the house battery will affect the performance
of the Anti-Theft functions. The condition of the battery in the caravan or
trailer must be maintained and checked.
NOTE : When servicing the electric brakes or magnets it is recommended
WiTi is disconnected to prevent accidental short circuits.
WiTi Anti-Theft System
WiTi detects movement via a highly sensitive gyroscope and accelerometer. In
the event an attempt is made to gain access to or 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 practically 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. The brakes are
applied initially for 5 seconds and then released if there is no movement to
prevent the battery from discharging unnecessarily.
To activate WiTi Anti-Theft, press and hold button A on the remote control for
1/2 a second, 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
and hold button A on the remote control for
1/2 a second and the lights will flash once and the Alarm Status LED will
switch off.
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. The system must be deactivated again by pressing the remote control button for 1/2 a second before another activation sequence is attempted.

Installation Instructions
- 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 3V 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.
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 Alarm Status LED will flash. The Alarm Status
LED will continue to flash until the short circuit is repaired and the unit
restarted by pressing the button on the remote control.
NOTE: When servicing the electric brakes or magnets it is recommended
WiTi is disconnected to prevent accidental short circuits.
Wiring Instructions
The Anti-Theft System is fitted with a 24 pin plug and separate harnesses for
the GPS Integration option. WiTi is installed in parallel with the existing
wiring harness on the caravan.Generally the wiring harness for the caravan or
trailer will run down the A-frame and chassis and exit near the axle where it
will split to the brakes and lighting circuits. This is a good location to
connect into the harness. WiTi works in conjunction with other circuits for
lighting and braking and is installed in parallel with other circuits. Locate
the wiring harness on the caravan and connect into the corresponding wiring
as per the guide below. WiTi wiring is colour coded as per Australian
standards.
