This system is designed to enhance vehicle security and convenience with features such as Passive Keyless Entry (PKE), remote engine start, push start button, and shock alarm warning. It is compatible with most DC12V petrol vehicles.

Important Note: Professional car alarm installer installation is highly recommended for this product. This system is not compatible with cars that have a double pulse for unlock, pneumatic or vacuum locking systems, or factory-installed push start buttons. An extra bypass module may be required for vehicles with a chip immobilizer in the factory OEM key fob.

Setup and Installation

Installation of the EASYGUARD EC009-K-L system requires knowledge of automotive electrical systems. It is strongly recommended to have this system installed by a qualified professional car alarm installer.

Pre-Installation Checks:

• Confirm your vehicle is a DC12V petrol car.
• Ensure your vehicle does not have a double pulse for unlock or a pneumatic/vacuum locking system.
• If your vehicle has a factory chip immobilizer, acquire an appropriate bypass module (e.g., ASIN: B00MEHBVIC).
• Unlock/release/remove the steering lock as required for installation.

General Installation Steps (Consult Wiring Diagram for Details):

1. Disconnect Battery: Always disconnect the negative terminal of the vehicle's battery before starting.
2. Mount Main Control Unit: Choose a secure, hidden location inside the vehicle, away from moisture and extreme temperatures.
3. Connect Wiring Harnesses: Follow the provided wiring diagram carefully. Connect power, ground, ignition, accessory, and starter wires.
4. Install Push Start Button: Replace the existing ignition switch with the new push start button. Ensure proper wiring for ignition, accessory, and start signals.
5. Install PKE Antennas: Strategically place the PKE antennas (typically one inside and one outside the vehicle) to ensure optimal passive keyless entry range.
6. Mount Siren: Install the siren in the engine bay, facing downwards to prevent water accumulation.
7. Install Shock Sensor: Mount the shock sensor securely to a rigid part of the vehicle's chassis. Adjust sensitivity as needed after installation.
8. Connect Central Door Locking: Wire the system to the vehicle's central door locking system. Default is electrical locking; pneumatic option available if applicable.
9. Optional Connections: Connect optional modules such as trunk release solenoid (e.g., ASIN: B00N4RP8VM) or window closer modules (e.g., 4-door ASIN: B00N3RKA8E, 2-door ASIN: B00N4S92SQ, 5-door ASIN: B00NTOL03K).
10. Reconnect Battery: Once all connections are made and verified, reconnect the vehicle's battery.
11. Test System: Perform thorough testing of all functions (arming, disarming, PKE, remote start, push start, shock sensor, etc.).

Operating Instructions

Passive Keyless Entry (PKE)

The PKE feature automatically locks and unlocks your vehicle as you approach or walk away, provided the key fob is with you.

• Automatic Unlock: When you approach the vehicle with the key fob within 1-2 meters (3-6 feet), the car doors will automatically unlock.
• Automatic Lock: When you walk away from the car with the key fob beyond 6-9 feet, the car doors will automatically lock and the system will arm.
• PKE On/Off Setting: The PKE function can be enabled or disabled via a specific programming sequence (refer to the detailed installation guide for programming steps).

Remote Engine Start/Stop

Allows you to start your vehicle remotely to pre-cool in summer or pre-warm in winter.

• To Start: Press and hold the remote start button on the key fob for approximately 3 seconds. The vehicle will start and run for a preset duration (usually 10-15 minutes).
• To Stop: Press and hold the remote start button again for approximately 3 seconds, or disarm the system.
• Diesel Cars: For diesel cars with engine starting time over 3 seconds, you may need to turn on the ON dashboard first to pre-warm the spark plug, or add an extra timer delay switch.

Push Start Button

Replaces the traditional ignition key for starting and stopping the engine.

• To Start: With the key fob inside the vehicle, press the brake pedal and then press the push start button.
• To Stop: With the vehicle stationary, press the push start button once.
• ACC/ON Modes: Press the button without pressing the brake pedal to cycle through ACC (Accessory) and ON (Ignition) modes.

Arm/Disarm/Mute Arm

• Mute Arm: Press the lock button and then the unlock button quickly to arm the system without siren chirps.

Other Features

• Shock Sensor Alarm Trigger: If the vehicle experiences a significant impact while armed, the alarm will sound.
• Manual Lock/Unlock: Use the remote key fob buttons for manual locking and unlocking, overriding PKE if desired.
• Emergency Disarm: A specific procedure (refer to the detailed installation guide) to disarm the system without the key fob in emergencies.
• Siren Pause: Press any button on the key fob to temporarily silence the siren during an alarm trigger.
• Remote Trunk Release: Press and hold the unlock/trunk release button on the key fob to open the trunk (requires compatible vehicle wiring and/or extra solenoid kit).
• Anti-Hijacking: A safety feature that can be activated to prevent vehicle theft during a hijacking attempt.
• Auto-Rearm (Anti-False Disarm): If the system is disarmed but no door is opened within a certain time, it will automatically re-arm.
• Door Unclosed Well Reminding: The system will alert you if a door is not properly closed when attempting to arm.
• Central Door Locking Automation: Doors can be set to automatically lock when the ignition is turned on and unlock when the ignition is turned off.
• Power Off Memory: The system retains its armed/disarmed state even after power interruption.
• Window Rolls Up Automatically (Optional): With an additional window closer module, windows can automatically roll up when the system is armed.
• Code Learning/Programming Method: Procedures for pairing new key fobs or reprogramming existing ones (refer to the detailed installation guide).

Maintenance

• Key Fob Battery Replacement: The remote key fobs require 2 CR2 batteries. Replace them when the low battery tip appears on the back of the fob or when the range decreases significantly.
• System Checks: Periodically test all alarm functions (arming, disarming, remote start, shock sensor) to ensure proper operation.
• Wiring Inspection: If you experience issues, visually inspect all wiring connections for looseness, corrosion, or damage.
• Keep Clean: Keep the main control unit and other components free from dust and moisture.
