DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT
DESCRIPTION
The electrical system is Negative ground, and it is
most important to ensure correct polarity of the
electrical connections at all times. Any incorrect
connections made when reconnecting cables may
cause irreparable damage to the semi-conductor
devices used in the generator and regulator. Incorrect
polarity would also seriously damage any
transistorized equipment such as radio and
tachometer etc.
WARNING: During battery removal or
before carrying out any repairs or
maintenance to electrical components
always disconnect the battery negative lead first.
If the positive lead is disconnected with the
negative lead in place, accidental contact of the
wrench to any grounded metal part could cause a
severe spark, possibly resulting in personal
injury. Upon installation of the battery the positive
lead should be connected first.
GENERATOR
The generator is a three phase, field sensed unit. The
rotor and stator windings produce three phase
alternating current, AC, which is rectified to direct
current, DC. The electronic voltage regulator unit
controls the generator output voltage by high
frequency switching of the rotor field circuit. Use only
the correct Vehicle replacement fan belt. Occasionally
check that the engine and generator pulleys are
accurately aligned.
It is essential that good electrical connections are
maintained at all times. Of particular importance are
those in the charging circuit (including those at the
battery) which should be occasionally inspected to
see that they are clean and tight. In this way any
significant increase in circuit resistance can be
prevented.Do not disconnect battery cables while the engine is
running or damage to the semi-conductor devices
may occur. It is also inadvisable to break or make any
connections in the generator charging and control
circuits while the engine is running.
The electronic voltage regulator employs micro-circuit
techniques resulting in improved performance under
difficult service conditions. The whole assembly is
encapsulated in silicone rubber and housed in an
aluminium heat sink, ensuring complete protection
against the adverse effects of temperature, dust, and
moisture etc.
The regulating voltage is set during manufacture to
give the required regulating voltage range of 14.2±
0.2 volts, and no adjustment is necessary. The only
maintenance needed is the occasional check on
terminal connections and wiping with a clean dry
cloth.
The generator system provides for direct connection
of a charge (ignition) indicator warning light, and
eliminates the need for a field switching relay or
warning light control unit. As the warning lamp is
connected in the charging circuit, lamp failure will
cause loss of charge. Lamp should be checked
regularly and spare carried.
When using rapid charge equipment to re-charge the
battery, the battery must be disconnected from the
vehicle.
NOTE: For description and operation of
electrical circuits see separate publication:
Electrical Troubleshooting Manual.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM FUNCTION
Perimetric protection
Using the key in the correct sequence will turn on and
off perimetric protection only. When fully perimetrically
armed, all doors, and bonnet [hood] are protected
against unauthorised access. If the door key is used in
the normal manner the driver will be unaware of the
door key sequence. The time taken to lock or unlock
with the key must be less than 5 seconds. To prevent
unauthorised tampering, the alarm will sound if the
key is held in the unlocked position for longer than 5
seconds when armed. Cranking is disabled when
perimetric protection is armed.
NOTE: When key is turned left or right the
keyswitch input will be activated, in
conjunction with the sill button switch
when links are operated.
Volumetric protection
Using the handset transmitter will turn on and off
volumetric protection. In volumetric mode the vehicle
interior is protected using the ultrasonic sensor. Using
the handset also arms and disarms the vehicle
perimetrically. Cranking is disabled when volumetric
and perimetric protection is armed.
NOTE: If armed volumetrically the vehicle
CANNOT be disarmed using the key.
Alarm horn
When an intrusion is detected the alarm horn will
sound intermittently (Switzerland and Denmark
continuous horn sound) and the hazard lights flash
(where territorial regulations allow) for 30 seconds.
The alarm must be retriggered before alarm horn will
sound again.Vehicle status indication
Vehicle status is indicated by up to three devices: (a)
alarm horn, (b) hazard lights, (c) dash board LED.
When the vehicle arms in either mode the hazard
lights will flash three times and the LED will flash
rapidly for 10 seconds. LED will then flash at a slower
rate while vehicle is armed. When the vehicle disarms,
hazard lights will flash once and LED will extinguish. If
LED remains lit, it indicates that the alarm has been
triggered. Turning on ignition or arming the alarm will
extinguish LED. The LED will give a long pulse flash
to indicate the ultrasonic unit being activated.
Central locking
Central locking is controlled by the alarm ECU and
may be operated by the key, sill button(s) or handset.
The system works on both front doors on four door
vehicles or driver's door on two door vehicles.
NOTE: The central door locking system
will shut down for a short period after
more than 15 consecutive operations.
Inertia switch
An inertia switch is incorporated in the alarm system
ECU. If ignition is on and the vehicle receives an
impact sufficient to activate the inertia switch, the ECU
will signal to unlock central locking actuators and flash
hazard lights. Central locking will remain disabled for
30 seconds. To reset turn ignition off and then on after
the 30 second period has elapsed.
Ultrasonic unit
The unit operates by emitting an air pressure carrier
wave and receiving the wave back. Any disturbance
within the vehicle which disturbs the wave will be
detected, triggering the alarm.
When the volumetric sensor is activated it monitors
movement within the vehicle for 15 seconds before
detecting and responding to intrusions. If the sensor
detects movement within the vehicle it delays arming
until a 15 seconds quiet period has elapsed. If
continuous movement is detected the alarm will not
arm volumetrically.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION Radio frequency system
The RF system uses four frequencies according to
market. If the coaxial aerial is not fitted system
performance will be impaired. Both ECU and handset
have a colour coded label.

Partially armed mode
If a door, tailgate or bonnet [hood] is left open when
the system is armed, the LED will not light for 10
seconds indicating a mislock condition. Hazard lights
will not flash. If an open door or tailgate is causing the
mislock, the starter motor is disabled. The alarm will
sound if ignition is turned to start position. If an open
bonnet [hood] is causing the mislock the starter motor
is disabled. The alarm will arm the volumetric part of
the system. If the door tailgate or bonnet [hood] is
subsequently closed, after a 5 second delay, the
doors will unlock and immediately lock and the system
will fully arm.
Handset transmitter
The handset LED will give one short flash when
button is pressed momentarily.
If button is held down the LED will light again after 2
seconds for 2 seconds, and extinguish until button is
released and repressed. The handset contains unique
information distinguishing it from other transmitters. It
also contains a set of 'random' rolling codes
programmed into the ECU before leaving the factory.
Each time the handset is pressed a different code is
transmitted to the ECU.
If handset is operated more than four times outside
the vehicle range (6 metres) or power supply is
removed, it will be necessary to re-sychronise handset
and the ECU by pressing the handset three times
within range and within 5 seconds.
NOTE: If both handsets are lost or
damaged when system is armed it will be
necessary to fit a new ECU with two
matching handsets.
Handset batteries
If handset LED flashes continuously when button is
pressed, the batteries need replacing. The hazard
lights will flash one 3 second pulse, instead of three
times upon arming vehicle.
Power up mode
The alarm system always remembers the state it was
left in when power was removed. If the alarm powers
up in an armed state and is subsequently triggered it
will give a warning that it will fully trigger unless
disarmed. This warning consists of short horn pulses
every two seconds for 15 seconds.
New born mode
When the ECU is first produced, it will be in its 'new
born' mode. In this mode it will respond to any remote
of the right frequency. This mode will be cancelled
when the ECU has received ten valid handset signals
without power interruption.
Engine cranking
It is only possible to crank the engine when ignition is
ON and alarm disabled.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION ANTI-THEFT ALARM DESCRIPTION (96 MODELS)
NOTE: The alarm system provides security
protection under wide ranging
circumstances and is fully programmable
to meet market requirements; consequently some
of the features listed will vary dependent on
vehicle model or territory.
The handset is intended to be the primary source of
control for the alarm system. The key should only be
used in the event of handset failure or if perimetric
arming only is required.
Immobilisation
After a time period the vehicle is automatically
immobilised regardless of whether or not the alarm is
armed.
Mobilisation
The handset provides the normal means of
mobilisation. In the event of handset failure, the key
may be used to enter the emergency key access
code.
Perimetric arming
Provides protection whilst the vehicle is still occupied.
Volumetric arming
If movement within the vehicle is detected the alarm
will be triggered.
NOTE: Perimetric arming always
accompanies volumetric arming.
Built-in test
The alarm system has a built-in test procedure, but if
possible any fault finding should normally be
undertaken using TestBook.
Emergency key access (EKA)
In the event of handset failure the alarm can be
disarmed by entry of the EKA code which is unique to
each vehicle.CONTROL SYSTEM
Electronic control unit (ECU) and relays
The ECU is the alarm system 'brain' and controls all
alarm functions. It responds to inputs received, by
supplying suitable outputs to indicate the status of the
alarm system or activating the relevant warning
devices.
Handset
The handset is the primary source of control for the
alarm system i.e. it locks and unlocks the vehicle,
arms and disarms the alarm.
Door key
The vehicle may be locked using the key (perimetric
arming only).
NOTE: The vehicle MUST be unlocked
using the handset. The key may be used to
unlock the vehicle if the handset fails to
operate, see operation, Emergency key access.
Passive coil
The passive coil is located around the starter switch
and triggers the handset (usually located on the
keyring) if it is within close proximity.
Aerial
The aerial is a floating connection which supplies the
alarm ECU with the signal received from the handset.
Immobilisation unit (spider)
Dependent on model or territory, the system may be
fitted with an immobilisation unit which is discreetly
located and provides an interface between the ECU
and immobilised areas of the vehicle.
