INSTALLATION MANUAL ISSUE 2 JUNE 2000

THIS INSTALLATION MANUAL SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE USER GUIDE
PROVIDED WITH THE UNIT. BEFORE STARTING THE INSTALLATION, PLEASE READ THESE
INSTRUCTIONS THROUGH CAREFULLY, AND FOLLOW THEM IN ORDER. IT IS RECOMMENDED
THAT YOU FOLLOW THE CODE OF PRACTICE FOR VEHICLE ALARM
.INSTALLATION SUPPLIED BY THE VEHICLE SECURITY INSTALLATION BOARD (VSIB).
1/ CONTENTS LIST
Check that the contents of your kit are as follows. You will need all these items to complete your
installation successfully.

1 x Alarm main unit

1 x Metal Security Case
1 x Pair of ultrasonic sensors
2 x Radio keys
2 x Wiring loom's, with fuses (main feed and indicator feed)
1 x Plug-in LED, bezel and cable
1 x Bonnet contact switch
1 x Coded battery back up siren
1 x Siren mounting bracket and fixings
1 x User guide
1 x Quick reference card with PIN override
1 x Warranty card
2 x 'Protected by TOAD' stickers
[ADDITIONAL FUSES MAY BE NEEDED DEPENDING UPON THE TYPE OF CENTRAL LOCKING
OUTPUTS REQUIRED]

2/ POSITIONING
Control unit
Position this inside the passenger compartment, away from any potential source of damp or excessive
heat. Mount the unit on a firm surface using the integral mounting lugs, ensuring that it is secure and
not easily accessible. TOAD RECOMMENDS THAT THE UNIT SHOULD BE MOUNTED IN A
POSITION THAT REQUIRES THE REMOVAL, WITH TOOLS, OF INTERIOR PANELS FOR ACCESS.
The unit should be fixed in place with the supplied security screws only after final installation checks
have been made. Fix, and disguise, wherever possible, all cables from the control unit. The thin black
aerial wire, exiting the control unit opposite the main wiring loom should be free of metallic obstruction
for maximum performance and should not be modified in any way.
NOTE THIS UNIT IS NOT THATCHAM APPROVED IF IT IS NOT INSTALLED IN IT'S METAL
SECURITY CASE

Siren
Position this inside the engine bay, out of the crash zone, at least 30 cm away from the front or rear of
the vehicle. It should be away from any water source and as far away as possible from any source of
excessive heat. The siren unit bracket should be fixed to the vehicle using the self-tapping screws
supplied, having first drilled 4 x pilot holes. Ensure that the front face of the siren is inclined
downwards. The cable exiting the siren should also initially slope downwards to discourage water
ingress, be fixed securely and as far as possible disguised. The cable should pass "through the engine
firewall via a grommet - care should be taken to ensure a water-resistant seal is maintained between
the engine bay and passenger compartment. Anti-corrosion treatment should be applied to any holes
drilled in the vehicle bodywork and any resulting metal swarf should be completely removed.
Ultrasonic sensors
Use the integral clips to securely fix the sensors, with the addition of screws if necessary, to
ensure that they cannot be knocked out of position. They should be positioned towards the top of
the vehicle's A pillars and should be slightly inclined towards the centre of the protected area -
ensure that the position of the sun visor does not impair the operation of the sensors. Care must
be taken not to damage the cables whilst routing these out of sight behind the vehicle trim.

Ultrasonic sensitivity
Adjust the sensitivity of the sensor only when you have mounted them in place. Turning the
potentiometer on the side of the main control unit controls the sensitivity. Put the system in test
mode so that the siren chirps when the unit detects a zone violation. In the usual way, following
VSIB practice, adjust this sensitivity so that the ultrasonics detect movement of a large body
inside the vehicle, but are not so sensitive that small disturbances lead to false activation's.

Note: The ultrasonics incorporate an automatic override, if the sensors are interrupted within
the first 20 seconds they will automatically override (pet mode) and will monitor the sensors
every 5 seconds, so if the movement stops they will automatically reinstate.

3/ Installation

Pre-installation checks
BEFORE PROCEEDING FURTHER, NOTE THAT SOME OPTIONS CAN AUTO-LOCK THE
VEHICLE - ENSURE THAT A WINDOW IS LEFT OPEN DURING THE INSTALLATION
PROCESS. BEFORE MAKING ANY CONNECTIONS LOCATE THE FOLLOWING PICK UP
POINTS AND ROUTE THE APPROPRIATE WIRES TO THEM:
+12V ignition feed
Locking connections
Starter solenoid drive (for starter kill)
Secondary Immobilisation connection
Ground
Indicator connections
Door circuit pick-up
+12V unfused supply
Bonnet switch
Boot switch
Other optional control circuits
Wiring Looms

Brown/Green cable (permanent power feed indicators)

For +12V switched indicators connect the single pole connector to the mating connector on the red wire. For
earth switched indicators remove the connector and join to earth.

Black cable with Red tag (permanent power feed)

Connect this cable to a permanent +12V unfused supply; note that the brown/green wire may also be
connected to the red wire from the alarm.

2 x Black cables with green tags (ground)

Connect to a ground point using a self-tapping screw and star washer. Do not connect to existing vehicle
ground wires. Ensure bare metal is exposed at the grounding points.

Black cable with Orange tag (ignition)

Connect to an ignition supply at the fusebox. It is essential to connect this wire to a circuit that does not
drop out whilst cranking.

Green cable (negative door circuit)

Connect to a door light circuit that goes to ground when any door is open. If required fit additional pin
switches or connect existing door circuits together (inserting diodes if necessary) to ensure correct
operation of both the alarm and interior light.

Yellow cable (positive door circuit)

Connect to a door light circuit that goes to +12v when any door is open. If required fit additional pin switches
or connect existing door circuits together (inserting diodes if necessary) to ensure correct operation of both
the alarm and interior light.

Black cables x4 (immobilisation wires) - identified as a loop, by a tape or band at the ends
For correct operation, at least one of the immobilisation circuits must be ignition live and live while cranking.
Cut each circuit to be controlled (check current rating if in doubt) and then form an immobiliser circuit by
simply cutting each wire loop. Connect one end of the cut wire loop to each end of the circuit you wish to
isolate - polarity is not important. DO NOT MAKE IMMOBILISER CONNECTIONS TO THE NEGATIVE
SIDE OF THE IGNITION COIL. Re-tape the harness so that the immobiliser connection points are difficult
to identify. Do not make connections at places that a thief could easily identify or access i.e. do not make any
connections close to the ignition barrel or in the engine bay next to the ignition coil.
Note it is not Possible to immobilise a Permanent 12V Supply

Black/green and black/white cables (indicator outputs)

Connect one wire to each of the indicator circuits.

Brown cable (additional siren output)

Connect this wire to the siren positive connection (red). Connect the other wire from the siren (black) to
ground.

Green/White (second unlock pulse on disarming)

This wire will give a second unlock output on pressing the disarm button on the remote if pressed within three
second of the first press of the remote.
Brown/white cable (Armed Low output)
Indicates that the unit is armed by pulling low (to ground). Can be used to enable or arm other
devices such as additional Led's, scanners etc, this wire also will also activate on passive
immobilisation.

Blue/black cable (boot release/optional output)

Output signal pulls low (to ground) - connect to the coil of the driver relay for the boot release
solenoid. For safety reasons this function can only be activated with the ignition off. Once
activated, the boot and internal volume sensors are disabled until 20 seconds after the boot is
closed. Alternatively this wire can be programmed for various outputs (press and hold button 3)
see page 8-9

Brown wire (Second siren or pager / horn output)

Output signal pulls positive when siren is active. Used to drive a relay for additional siren or horn.
Check feature access code for correct output.

Grey wire (bonnet switch wire located in the siren loom)

Connect this to any circuit that goes to ground when the bonnet is open. If no such circuit exists
fit an additional pin switch. Care should be taken to ensure that this switch is not easily
defeated, as this protects the siren from attack. If necessary, fit a duplicate switch.

Grey/white wire (boot circuit)

Connect this to any circuit that goes to ground when the boot is open. If no such circuit exists
fit an additional pin switch. If the existing boot switch operates the passenger compartment
interior light, then a separate pin switch or extra diodes will need to be fitted to ensure the
alarm indicates triggering from the bonnet/boot zone correctly.

Green/red wire (variable timed output)

Connect this wire to other devices that require a signal that pulls low (to ground) for an interval
controlled by the user. Once activated, the internal sensors are disabled until 10 seconds after
the timed period. (Press and hold buttons 3 and 4 together).

White Wire (variable timed output 1 second - 2.5 minutes)

Connect this wire to systems that need a signal that pulls low (to ground) for an interval
automatically controlled by the alarm. Once activated, the internal volume sensors are disabled
until 10 seconds after the timed period. (Press and hold button 4, or programme to operate on
arming).

SAFETY NOTE: WHERE OUTPUTS MAY BE USED TO CONTROL WINDOW CLOSURE OR

TOTAL CLOSURE, IT IS IMPORTANT TO CONSIDER ANY POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD TO
THE VEHICLE'S OCCUPANTS - PARTICULARLY YOUNG CHILDREN. THESE OUTPUTS ARE
NOT DESIGNED TO CONTROL AUTOMATIC CLOSURE SYSTEMS WITHOUT
INCORPORATION OF THE APPROPRIATE SAFETY FEATURES!
Hardware
Fit the alarm unit (in the correct orientation), siren, and ultrasonic sensors to the positions identified earlier.
Install the LED in the dashboard following the customer's wishes, using the supplied bezel.

Other Pluggable Looms

LED Loom
Connect the three-pin connector to the mating plug on the main unit. This is retained by a snap lock and
removal requires the locking ramp on the top face of the connector to be depressed before the connector can
be detached - pulling on the wires alone may cause damage.

Ultrasonic Sensors.
These are retained by a snap lock connector and removal requires the locking ramp on the top face of the
connector to be depressed before the connector can be detached - pulling on the wires alone may cause
damage. The sensitivity of the sensor is set up as described below. The 2 ultrasonic sensor assemblies have
male and female plugs and sockets and care should be taken to ensure that the sensor assemblies are
correctly connected.

Optional Sensor Connection

This provides for both the standard alarm trigger input and for pre-warning when used with a dual zone
sensor. Connect any optional sensors using the 4-pin connector provided with the sensor cable.
5/ THE CUSTOMER PIN CODE

The customer PIN code is a 4-digit number used to provide a level of security for features that need to be
accessed when the radiokey may be unavailable. The factory default PIN setting is random, but each of the 4
digits can be set to any number requested by the customer. The customer should carefully record this PIN. If
this PIN is lost, then essential functions within the alarm will become inaccessible. This PIN code can only be
reset by returning the unit to TOAD. Ensure that the customer is fully aware of the importance of this PIN
code.

Example
To enter a 4 digit pin code such as (0430)

Turn the Ignition

all within 7 seconds.

The Led will flash fast for 3 seconds, as soon as the flashing stops turn the ignition off, this is the first digit
of the example pin code

NOTE: to enter a O-digit turn the ignition off immediately after the Led has finished flashing rapidly for 3
seconds, or after the Led has flashed green.

Turn the Ignition on Led flashing fast, Flashing stops digit 0 turn the ignition off.

Turn the Ignition on Led Flashes green, Count single flashes 4 turn the ignition off.

Turn the Ignition on Led Flashes green, Count single flashes 3 turn the ignition off.

Turn the Ignition on Led flashes green, Flashing stops digit 0 turn the ignition off.

If the Pin code is entered correctly, the system will return to the disarm state when the ignition is switched
off. If the code is entered incorrectly then the system will stay armed and indicate a wrongly entered code
by beeping the siren 5 times.

If an incorrect Pin code is entered 3 times in succession, the alarm will block any further Pin code attempts
for 3 minutes. The Pin code block is shown by the Led giving a double flash in place of the single flash.

NOTE:

THE REMOTE CAR START OPTION DOES NOT CURRENTL-Y CONFORM TO THATCHAM CRITERIOR
AND INSTALLING A REMOTE CAR START WILL INVALIDATE THE Ai606 CAT 1 STATUS.

The settings of the Programmable outputs are as follows:

 1. Boot release - Ignition off. 1-second pulse with the sensors and boot input disabled until 20
seconds after the boot switch is closed. If this feature is selected, the boot switch and the
sensors will be re-instated 20 seconds after the output is activated, unless the alarm sees
the boot switch open. Once the boot has been opened (detected by the boot switch) the siren
will beep once every 6 seconds until it/is closed again to warn the user that the boot is not
correctly closed.

2. Remote Car Start - 1 second pulse with sensors and engine immobiliser disabled until the next
disarm and arm command or the second Remote Car Start command. The second Remote Car
start command (1 second pulse) activates the sensors and the engine immobiliser.

3. Free pulse - Gives a 1 second pulse. With the ignition on or off

4. Window Close Output - 20-second impulse with sensor disabled until the end of the pulse.

5. Latched pulse - Output is active from the time the output is turned on or until it is switched
off again using the same procedure.

6. Battery Saver - The output is active from the time the output is turned on until either it is
switched off again using the same command or until the alarm system arms.

7. Headlight Output - Turn on automatically for 20 seconds whenever the alarm system is armed.

8. Two stage unlock output-The system includes a 2 stage unlock feature. The first press of
button 2 when disarming will disarm the alarm system and issue one unlock pulse. If button 2 is
pressed again a second unlock pulse will be issued. (This is a vehicle feature)

HOW TO CHANGE THE OUTPUT ON SOFTWARE SWITCH 2-2

Complete the Pin code sequence and:

Turn the Ignition On…..Press button 1 on the remote…..The siren will chirp as confirmation…..Turn
the ignition Off and On….. Press button 1 twice and the Led will turn Green to show any switches
starting with the digit 2…..Turn the ignition off and On….. Press button 1 twice, the siren will
Chirp each time the button is pressed…..Press both buttons 1 & 2 once to select option 1 (boot
release) twice for option 2 (remote car start) etc…….Turn the ignition off and wait to exit the
programme mode, indicated by the siren giving a double chirp.

9/ ADDING NEW RADIOKEYS

Turn the ignition ON…..OFF…..ON…..OFF…..ON All within 7 seconds

The LED will flash fast for 3 seconds.

Enter the PIN code as described previously.

After entering the PIN code turn the ignition back on and press button 1 on a new transmitter to teach it to
the system.
Turn the ignition off.

Leave the ignition off for 25 seconds

If more transmitters are introduced to the system than the maximum allowed (4), then the earliest
programmed transmitter will be deleted. After introducing new transmitters to the system, check that all
existing transmitters are still recognised by the system.

DELETING RADIO KEYS

An already valid radiokey cannot be introduced to the system a second time and therefore cannot be used to
force out an unwanted key. If you wish to delete existing keys from your system, for example if a radiokey
has been lost or stolen this can be achieved using the System programming functions. Remember to re-
introduce radiokeys that are still required.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT - a long life Lithium battery is fitted as standard to the radiokey, which should
give exceptional life. The replacement part is CR2032 (one per radiokey). To open the radio key, insert a slim
coin into the recess near the key-ring loop and twist gently, separating the two halves of the casing. First
noting the polarity, the old battery may be removed by sliding forward out of the battery contact assembly.
Observing the correct polarity, and taking care to ensure that the surface of the battery and contacts
remain clean, the new part can be slid into place. The casing should be closed by pressing gently round the
edges until it snaps together. Check that pressing any of the buttons causes the radio key LED to illuminate.

TOAD STICKERS
Fit Toad window stickers as detailed in the fitting standards

10/ TRIGGER MEMORY WITH DIAGNOSTICS

When the ignition is first turned on the sensor, which has triggered the alarm system, will be indicated by the
number of orange flashes from the LED. The LED will flash orange twice in a continuous sequence if the
internal volume sensors triggered the alarm, three times for the doors and four times for the boot or bonnet.
This flash sequence will repeat three times

11/ POST INSTALATION CHECKS

Fit the fuses in the fuse holders. Test arming and disarming of unit that each sensor zone
activates the alarm and those additional features such as interior light illumination and locking
control are working correctly.
Check that wiring in the vicinity of the alarm is properly supported and that no undue strain is
placed on any of the connectors. For maximum security, the aerial wire should be coiled up to
restrict the radiokey range to the optimum necessary.
Check that warning stickers are fitted and visible. Check to ensure that the vehicle's own
systems continue to function correctly and have not been disrupted by the installation process.
Complete the certificate of installation and ensure that all documentation and full training are
given to the vehicle user at hand-over.
Check that the metal security box is correctly fitted and screwed into position to keep within
Thatcham guidelines.

12/ TROUBLESHOOTING

UNIT FAILS TO ARM

If LED not lit - check fuses and power connections.

If LED lit check batteries in all radio keys and that they are programmed into the unit. Check
that the unit is not in valet mode(LED on constant)
REMEMBER THAT, OTHER THAN BY RADIOKEY OR ACTIVE REARM THE ALARM WILL ONLY
ARM IF PASSIVE ARMING IS SELECTED.

SIREN DOES NOT OPERATE WHEN ALARM ACTIVATED

Test by unplugging when armed - the siren will sound. Allow a few minutes for the siren battery
to charge

UNIT WILL NOT ARM OR DISARM

Check current radio key operation with spare valid radio key Check aerial positioning - the higher it is the
better reception should be

FALSE TRIGGERING OF ALARM

Check sensor sensitivity and that switch operation is reliable

INTERMITTENT FAULT

Check all hard wired and plug-in connections

Check for vehicle battery voltage
