IGNITION, BONNET, BOOT & DOORS
When armed, the siren will sound and the indicators will flash for 30
seconds when any of these are
triggered. If a door, the bonnet or boot is left open, the siren will cycle 90 seconds (3 x 30 seconds)
and the indicators will flash.
(If programmed for NSW, the siren will sound for 30 seconds once only)
uire your vehicle to be fitted with courtesy light door switches for these to
trigger the alarm. Fitting or replacing door switches will incur additional charges.

2 STAGE IMPACT SENSOR (MODEL M60B/M60S
optional on other models)
gned to detect impact to the vehicle such as to the bodywork or glass. It should
not be triggered by normal wind, or rocking motions.
If the sensor detects a light impact, the siren will sound a few warning chirps.
If the sensor detects a heavier impact, t
he analyser circuit will determine this and sound
the siren for 30 seconds and flash the lights.
The sensitivity level is set by the installer and should be at its optimum. Avoid over sensitivity as
people nearby may not respond due to too many false alar
ms. (This type of sensor may not prevent
wheel theft, we therefore advise the fitment of locking wheel nuts)
There may be times when you wish to deactivate the impact sensor to avoid false alarms, follow the
instructions for ‘sensor disable by remote’ on p
ULTRASONIC SENSOR (M60AU MODEL
optional on other models)
The ultrasonic sensor fill the interior of your vehicle with high frequency sound and is designed to
trigger the alarm when the interior environment changes. Possible changes are the breaki
removal of glass, a door being opened, or even strong wind through a slightly open window.
For the ultrasonic sensor to operate correctly ensure all doors and windows are closed when
arming the alarm system. (False alarms are generally created by ope
wind through the air vents)
Due to the efficiency of this type of sensor, we advise that you do not leave people or animals
inside the vehicle as any movement will trigger the alarm. Should you need to leave people or
e, follow the instructions for ‘sensor disable by remote’ to avoid the alarm being
Ultrasonic’s are not recommended for soft top vehicles or vehicles where air movement is likely

MICROWAVE SENSOR (M60AM MODEL
The microwave sensor is designed to trigger the alarm when a microwave field
registers physical movement. 2 fields are generated, one outside the vehicle to give
perimeter protection, and one inside to give interior protection.
n into the perimeter area chirps the siren as a warning, whilst intrusion into
the interior fully sounds the siren. The fields are adjustable for size and should have
been set by the installer at their optimum. It is advisable to limit the exterior field
about the width of the door mirrors and the interior to approximately ¾ of the vehicle
width. Do not leave people or animals inside the vehicle as any movement will trigger
the alarm. Should you need to leave people or animals inside when arming, foll
instructions for ‘sensor disable by remote’.
Note: As the microwave produces circular protective fields, some areas of the vehicle may not be protected.
SENSOR DISABLE BY REMOTE (ALARM MODELS ONLY)
There are times when you may wish to deactivate t
he supplied sensors (impact, ultrasonic or
depending on model of alarm or fitted accessories) to prevent false alarms.
To turn these sensors off, but arm the bonnet, boot and doors and immobilise the engine, press
button one to arm the system a

arming followed by three tones indicating the sensors are turned off for this time only.
To disable the sensors at some later time after arming, press the 2
button three times quickly.
the alarm is sounding and has been triggered by a sensor, pressing the 2
sensor from further detections.
When disarming, if the siren chirps 4 times and the indicators flash 3 times you know the system
ered. Refer to the LED flash codes on page 10 to show which circuit has been

UP SIREN (M60S/M60AU/M60AM
optional on other models)
Vehicle battery disconnection, or cutting the siren wires, will cause the battery back
sound independently of an alarm trigger. The siren can be turned off with the special keys
provided or whenever the car battery needs attention or changing.
Please check that the siren has been mounted in such a position so as to avoid water ingress o
damage. If washing the engine bay, cover the siren with a plastic bag to prevent water damage.
Heat or water damage is not covered by the warranty.
Upon an intrusion (ie; door opened and closed), the siren will sound for 30 secon
will stop and reset to the armed position. It will then re
trigger on the next intrusion.
If a door is left open, the siren will sound for 3 x 30 seconds and then that circuit will be bypassed to
for NSW, only sounding occurs
Should the vehicle battery be disconnected, the system memorises the last set position of the alarm.
If the alarm was disarmed prior to battery disconnecti
on, reconnection does not cause the alarm to
sound. If the battery was disconnected whilst the system was armed, reconnection will return the
system to the armed state.
To reduce noise nuisance and possible false alarms, the syst
em will isolate an individual circuit if it
is triggered three times in succession or is left open.
(Eg: 3 x bonnet/boot, 3 x doors, 3 x ignition, 3 x sensor)
Reset by remote by disarming and then re
arming, or by turning the ignition ‘on’ then ‘off’.

(and lock the doors if connected to central locking). When the turbo timer stops, the immobilisers
become active immediately and any connected sensor become active after a 10 second delay. An
intrusion through the doors whilst the engine is running will sound the alarm and immediately

ROLLING CODE REMOTE CONTROLS
Two remote controls are supplied with the system which enable you to arm and disarm your security
One remote control should be kept with your car keys and the other with your spare car keys in a
safe place. We do not recommend leaving the spare remote and car keys in the vehicle.
