Introduction
This manual provides comprehensive instructions for the installation, operation, and maintenance of the EASYGUARD EC009-T2 PKE Car Alarm System. This system integrates Passive Keyless Entry (PKE), remote engine start/stop, push button start, and a vibration alarm function. It is designed for use with most DC12V petrol vehicles. For diesel vehicles with engine starting times exceeding 3 seconds, it is recommended to pre-warm the spark plug by turning on the dashboard first, or to install an additional timer delay switch.
Important Note: Professional car alarm installer installation is highly recommended. Installation service is not provided by EASYGUARD. A wiring diagram is available upon request. It is necessary to unlock, release, or remove the steering lock during the installation of this system. An extra bypass module (e.g., ASIN: B00MEHBVIC) is required if your vehicle's factory OEM key fob contains a chip immobilizer.

Setup and Installation
Installation of the EASYGUARD EC009-T2 system requires technical expertise and should ideally be performed by a professional car alarm installer. Incorrect installation can lead to vehicle damage or system malfunction.
Pre-Installation Requirements:
- Steering Lock: The vehicle's steering lock must be unlocked, released, or removed prior to installation.
- Chip Immobilizer: If your vehicle's factory OEM key fob contains a chip immobilizer, an extra bypass module (e.g., ASIN: B00MEHBVIC) is required for the system to function correctly.
- Wiring Diagram: A detailed wiring diagram is available upon request to assist with installation.
Electrical System Compatibility:
- The system is compatible with 95% of DC12V petrol vehicles.
- For diesel vehicles with engine starting times exceeding 3 seconds, it is recommended to turn on the ON dashboard first to pre-warm the spark plug before starting the car, or to add an extra timer delay switch.
- The system's default door locking is electrical. Pneumatic locking is optional.
Note: This item is not compatible with cars that use a double pulse for unlock, pneumatic or vacuum locking systems, or cars with a factory-installed push start button.
Operating Instructions
Passive Keyless Entry (PKE):
- Automatic Unlock: With the key fob in your possession, approach the vehicle. The doors will automatically unlock when you are within 1-2 meters (approximately 3-6 feet) of the car.
- Automatic Lock: With the key fob in your possession, walk away from the vehicle. The doors will automatically lock when you are 1-2 meters (approximately 6-9 feet) away from the car.
- PKE On/Off Setting: Refer to the detailed wiring diagram or consult a professional installer for instructions on how to enable or disable the PKE function.
Remote Engine Start:
- To remotely start the engine, press and hold the designated start button on the key fob. The vehicle's engine will start, allowing for pre-conditioning of the cabin.
- To remotely stop the engine, press the same button again.
Push Button Start:
- To Start Engine: With the key fob inside the vehicle, press the brake pedal and then press the "ENGINE START STOP" button.
- To Stop Engine: With the vehicle stationary, press the brake pedal and then press the "ENGINE START STOP" button.
- ACC/ON Mode: Without pressing the brake pedal, press the "ENGINE START STOP" button once for ACC mode, and a second time for ON mode (ignition on). Press a third time to turn off.
Arming and Disarming:
- Arm: Press the lock button on the key fob to arm the system. The vehicle lights will flash, and the siren will chirp (unless in mute arm mode).
- Disarm: Press the unlock button on the key fob to disarm the system. The vehicle lights will flash, and the siren will chirp.
- Mute Arm: To arm the system silently, refer to the specific programming instructions in the full manual or consult your installer.
- Panic Mode: Press the panic button (usually the lock button held down or a dedicated button) to trigger the alarm for emergency situations.
- Emergency Disarm: In case of key fob malfunction, an emergency disarm procedure is available. Consult the full installation guide for details.
Other Functions:
- Siren Pause: During an alarm, press any button on the key fob to temporarily pause the siren.
- Auto-Rearm (Anti-False Disarm): If the system is disarmed but no door is opened within a set time, it will automatically re-arm to prevent accidental disarming.
Maintenance
Key Fob Battery Replacement:
The key fobs are powered by CR2 batteries. When the battery is low, the system siren may chirp 3 times after disarming. To replace the battery:
- Locate the battery compartment on the back of the key fob.
- Carefully open the compartment using a small tool if necessary.
- Remove the old CR2 battery.
- Insert a new CR2 battery, ensuring correct polarity.
- Close the battery compartment securely.
Regularly check the key fob battery status to ensure reliable operation of the PKE and remote functions.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| System does not arm/disarm or remote start. | Low key fob battery. Key fob out of range. Interference. | Replace key fob battery. Ensure key fob is within operating range. Move away from sources of strong electromagnetic interference. |
| Engine does not start via push button. | Brake pedal not pressed. Key fob not detected inside vehicle. Chip immobilizer issue. | Ensure brake pedal is fully depressed. Verify key fob is inside the vehicle. If vehicle has a chip immobilizer, ensure bypass module is correctly installed and functioning. |
| PKE (Passive Keyless Entry) not working. | PKE function disabled. Key fob battery low. Interference. | Check PKE on/off setting. Replace key fob battery. Ensure no strong interference sources are nearby. |
| Siren chirps 3 times after disarming. | Low key fob battery. | Replace the key fob battery. |
| System not compatible with vehicle. | Vehicle has double pulse unlock, pneumatic/vacuum locking, or factory push start. | This system is not designed for these specific vehicle configurations. Consult product specifications before purchase. |
