1.4. What You Get Below is a list of parts included with system. Item Description 1. Main control unit This All-In-One unit incorporates the mobile phone engine, the SIM card holder, and the main security alarm electronics module. The main wiring harness plugs into the main control unit securely via the 24 way connector. . 2. 1 Back Up Battery Siren This high frequency siren generates an intolerable noise to the human ear, and is designed to help repel intruders from your vehicle.
1.5. Mobile Phone Unit Safety Precautions Important notes about on-board GSM phones. 1.5.1. Aircraft Safety Mobile phones can interfere with an aircraft’s navigation system and its mobile network. The use of the Mobile Phone Units on board aircraft is forbidden by law and should be switched off. 1.5.2. Electronics in Medical Equipment Radio transmitters, including mobile phones can interfere with the operation of inadequately protected medical devices.
2. Installation & Operation 2.1. Planning the Installation Each separate component of the RAM should be placed in strategic locations. Below is a guide to where you should locate the main unit, the phone antenna & the siren. It is important to remember that the GSM antenna must be located high, but just underneath the centre of the dashboard out of sight. An external antenna is not used for security purposes.
2.2. Installing and Wiring The Main Unit Harness Connections 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 Figure 2 PIN No 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 1 CONNECTION Immobiliser 2a (8Amp) Immobiliser 2b (8Amp) Door Switch (Neg Types) Bonnet Trigger (Neg Sw.) Dummy Wire, Not used.
2.2.1. Extended Wiring Descriptions PIN No CONNECTION 1,14 & 2,13 Locate the positive feed wire to the fuel pump, cut that wire and join each pair of wires from pins (1,14) & (2,13) to either end of the fuel pump feed wire which you have just cut WARNING: The Internal cut out relays have an 8 AMP maximum rating. Disable only starter solenoid, fuel pump, or ignition coil if the vehicle is not EFI. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD YOU CUT THE VEHICLE’S MAIN IGNITION SYSTEM.
2.2.2. Installing the Glass Break Microphone The glass break microphone is permanently attached to the RAM via a 1-metre length of shielded audio wire. This wire must not be cut or modified in any way. The microphone must be mounted on the front of the dashboard. Be sure to mount the microphone in a place where it will not be bumped or damaged from persons in the vehicle. There is a clip attached to microphone to assist in mounting the microphone to the front of the dashboard.
Wiring the Siren +12V: Connect to constant 12V GND: Connect to Earth *SIREN: Connect to siren wire on RAM (pin 6) * This wire is normally earthed and goes open circuit to trigger the siren - Before connecting each wire, the identification label on the end of each wire should be cut off. Back up battery test After the installation is complete, switch the siren to the on position. The siren will beep once if the backup battery is OK and 5 times if the back-up battery is flat.
2.4. Installing The Antenna Installing the GSM Antenna The phone Antenna is connected to the main unit by plugging in the antenna into the back of the RAM unit as shown in Figure 4. Figure 4 2.5. Sim Card Setup And Functionality Place the new SIM card in an existing mobile phone and deactivate (turn off) “pin code request.” You may need to refer to your mobile phone manual on how to do this. Insert the SIM card into the RAM.
2.6. Accessibility Note To prevent unauthorised access to the alarm, the user is required to ALWAYS put the 6 Digit PIN (consisting of 0-9, A-Z) (the Default Pin Number is – 000000) at the start of each SMS command to confirm the user has access to change the alarm condition (this is nothing to do with the SIM card PIN number) i.e. Arm, Disarm, Activating relays etc. If the PIN number is forgotten, please refer to section 3.4.4. To Change Your Pin Number – Page: 30. 2.7.
2.8. SMS Command Messages Refer to your mobile phones user manual on how to write SMS messages. 2.8.1. To Arm The Alarm NOTE: From the siren you will hear: 1 Beep for Normal Arming 3 Beeps for No Coverage warning Constant Beeps for 3 seconds for Door Ajar warning BY SMS ARM: Type your PIN number and ARM from a mobile phone, and send it to the alarm. 123456ARM or 123456A BY REMOTE CONTROL Pressing the Bottom button on the remote control arms the alarm.
2.8.2. To Dis-Arm The Alarm BY SMS BY REMOTE CONTROL DISARM: Type your PIN number and DISARM from a mobile phone, and send it to the alarm. To disarm the alarm, press the Bottom button again. The blinkers will flash twice and the siren will beep twice. THE ALARM IS NOW OFF. 123456DISARM 123456DISARM OR or 123456D 123456D (WHERE 123456 = YOUR PIN NUMBER) NOTE: For the DISARM command you can use the letter ‘D’ instead of ‘DISARM’.
2.8.3. Emergency Panic BY SMS PANIC: Type your PIN number and PANIC from a mobile phone, and send it to the alarm. Once the message is sent the alarm will go into “PANIC ALERT.” This will sets off the siren and sends an SMS message to ALL phone numbers alerting them that panic is activated. BY REMOTE CONTROL To SET the alarm into “PANIC mode”, press the Right button. This will sets off the siren & blinkers, and sends an SMS message to all phone numbers alerting them that the alarm is in “PANIC ALERT.
2.8.5. Car Battery Low Warning The system will send you an SMS when your car battery voltage reaches a critical level i.e. if you leave your lights on & drain your battery. The message sent is “Battery Low Warning”. The message will only be sent BATTERY BatteryLOW once in a low battery condition. WARNING! low warning! This message will be sent to all mobile phone numbers programmed into the RAM. 2.8.6. Boot Release The alarm is fitted with remote boot release capability.
2.8.8. Auto Bypass Auto bypass is designed to reduce false alarms caused by faulty switches or external sensors. If the alarm is triggered 3 times by the same sector then the particular sector will be bypassed. (i.e. The sector will become inactive.) The sector will only be bypassed for one arming period. The next time the system is armed the sector that was bypassed will become active again. 2.8.9.
2.8.13. Pre-Alert Impact Warning With ETS TM This special feature provides a two-stage impact sensing system. It gives the security conscious owner a sensitive car body impact sensor that will give a potential thief prior warning that the vehicle is protected by this most formidable alarm system. On detection of a low level impact i.e. from a tyre kick, the siren will simply beep for a few seconds to warn away the would-be thief.
2.8.15. PAT TM – Past Alarm Trigger Memory/History REMOTE CONTROL To identify the cause of the last TEN reasons why the alarm has triggered, you can follow the steps described in Section 3.3.3. Changing Register 3 – Page: 28. Or type your PIN number and HISTORY from a mobile phone, and send it to the alarm. Once the message is sent the alarm you will receive an SMS back saying ALARM HISTORY: Oldest XXX. XXX. XXX. XXX. … Latest (where XXX is the cause of the alarm being triggered) 2.8.16.
