BLACK WIDOW ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

GLOSSARY OF TERMS

Alarm

• When the security system is armed, and an attempt is made on the vehicle, the security will trigger the siren to sound for 30 seconds. The siren will sound for 3 cycles as described in "Nuisance Protection Cycle"
  :: top ::

• The purpose of all black wiring is to ensure that should the car thief gain access to the vehicle, any attempt to find a way around the security system is made even more difficult as the cables to and from the alarm module, have no distinguishing characteristics, and are the same gauge (thickness).
  :: top ::

• This security system features three optional forms of anti car-jacking protection. The anti Car-jacking features may be activated by 1.) Turning "on" the ignition switch, 2.) Opening and closing a door after the ignition has been turned on, or 3.) By pressing the 3rd channel output. But only when the ignition is on.
  :: top ::

• Arming is to turn on the security system.
• Armed is the system is now ready to sound the alarm in an event of a break-in.
  :: top ::

• Arm / Disarm chirp is designed to give the user audible confirmation that the security system has been armed or disarmed.
• The chirp is also for the purpose of informing the user of the status of the security system as listed below.
  

  1 Chirp	Normal	System Armed
  2 Chirps	Normal	System Disarmed
  2 Slow Chirps	ERROR	System Armed but Door, Boot or Bonnet may be open.
  4 Chirps	ERROR	System Disarmed but alarm has been triggered. Refer to diagnostics for details.
  5 chirps	ERROR	System Disarmed, but NPC or pre-warn activated

• The chirp has a "silent operation" through the use of the alarm however the error chirps cannot be silenced
• Disabling this function in the programming can silence the Normal and Error chirps.
• For upgrade security systems, refer to the upgrade user instruction page.
  :: top ::

• The Black Widow CA6500 complies with Australian Standard AS/NZS 3749.1:2003 (Intruder Alarm Systems - Road Vehicles).
• Very few alarms are able to meet these standards due to the difficulty of achieving such stringent design criteria.
• Selecting any product that meets the Australian standards will give you the confidence that the product has been designed with quality and the highest of standards in mind.
  :: top ::

• The boot release function is to gain access to the boot by using the remote control. To achieve this, connection to an existing electric boot release, or, the installation of a solenoid (electric motor) is required.
  :: top ::

• Boot release masking is designed to allow the user to, using the boot release function on the remote control, to gain access to the boot load/unload and close the boot without disarming and then arming the security system.
  :: top ::

• Central locking a locking system that enables the user to lock / unlock all the car doors when using the master door.
• Note: some vehicles do not have central locking fitted.
• When central locking is fitted, some vehicle manufacturers do not install 'Masters" (accuators). In these cases the user, physically locking the drivers door, will cause a switch to instruct the "Slaves" in the other doors to lock. The user is a master. These vehicles will need to have an accuator installed. Refer to the Central Locking Reference page
  :: top ::

• The security system has diagnostics through the L.E.D. (Flashing Dash Light)
  

  LED off	System off	Slow flash	System on
  Fast flash	30 sec. countdown	On steady	In over-ride
  1 flash, pause	Bonnet opened	2 flashes, pause	Boot opened
  3 flashes, pause	Door opened	4 flashes, pause	Shock sensor
  Very slow flash: Automatic engine disable enabled

  :: top ::

• Disarm is to turn off the security system.
• Disarmed is when the security system will allow user to gain access to the vehicle.
  :: top ::

• This refers to the stated points of entry that will trigger the alarm when opened while the security system is armed.
  :: top ::

• This optional function will, when arming the security system, cause all the electric windows to close thereby ensuring a "Total Seal".
• Electric windows must be installed in the vehicle for this function. Should there be manual windows, electric motors can be fitted to the existing manual window mechanism.
  :: top ::

• In the situation of the remote control operation failing, the system can manually disabled. However, this only operates temporarily and the system will have to be returned to the service centre for rectification.
  :: top ::

• In upgrade alarm systems, the remote controls that are supplied by the vehicle manufacturer are used to arm/disarm our security system.
  :: top ::

• The LED is the red light that is installed in the cabin of the vehicle. The purpose is to show to the user that the alarm is armed, as well as warn away the potential perpetrators by showing not only that the vehicle has a security system, but also it is armed. The LED will provide diagnostics to the user and technicians to indicate to indicate which circuit of the car triggered the alarm. (refer diagnostics)
  :: top ::

• The vehicle's trafficators are used as visual indication of arm/disarm/panic.
  :: top ::

• If the system has been connected to the vehicles central locking, the doors will lock 3 seconds after ignition "on" and unlock with ignition "off". If a door is left open for more than 3 seconds after the ignition has been turned on the safety door lock feature will be inoperative.
  :: top ::

• The Nuisance Protection Cycle operates when the alarm sounds. The alarm will only sound for a maximum period of thirty (30) seconds, as described in the Australian Standard, then the security system will cease sounding the alarm and re-arm the security system. Should the circuit remain open this sequence will run for a maximum period of three (3) cycles before shutting the circuit down. The circuit will be enabled the next time the ignition is turned on.
  :: top ::

• In order to make our security system more secure, the system is divided into components. Module - the "brain" of the alarm, kept in the cabin of the vehicle to ensure safety from thieves, clean and dry. The siren - "noisemaker" also where the back-up battery is kept is always in the engine bay.
• This type of installation technique increases the difficulty of the installation but will ensure the car thief has great deal of trouble finding the main part of the security system. This is a security system.
• Be wary of "One Piece Alarms". These systems are designed with ease of installation in mind, this will also give the car thief ease of access to the alarm, making your purchase a waste of money.
  :: top ::

• In the situation where the vehicle user feels the need to raise an alarm, the security system comes with a "Panic" function. The siren can be sounded by using the remote control. (refer to user manual for details)
  :: top ::

• When we say "Passive" this means that the security system will take over the operation stated once the applicable criteria is met.
• The criteria is: Ignition/Accessory off (ignition keys out) and door opened and all doors are closed, then count down 30 seconds, and apply function programmed. ie. Passive immobiliser - the security system will immobilise the engine of the vehicle
  :: top ::

• A passive immobiliser will activate approximately 30 seconds after the ignition is turned of and all doors are closed.
  :: top ::

• This function is designed to arm itself within 30 seconds should the user leave the car and not arm the security system.
  :: top ::

• This function is designed to lock the vehicle within 30 seconds should the user leave the car and not arm the security system. This function requires central locking.
• With this function enabled, never leave your keys in the car.
  :: top ::

• Parking sensors are designed to assist the driver gauge the distance between the rear of the vehicle and an obstruction.
• When the vehicle is in reverse, the sensor will automatically turn on and emit a long beep. As the vehicle reverses closer to an obstruction the sensor will increase the speed of the beep until the vehicle is approximately 200mm from the obstruction. At this time the sensor will emit a constant tone indicating you should stop.
• Whilst this sensor will assist the user in saving the vehicle from accidents, we stress that due care must be taken at all times.
  :: top ::

• Of the many ways car thieves attempt to overcome security systems, one is to short out the circuits coming from and leading to the alarm module. Since the 1980's Black Widow have had its security systems circuits protected against this kind of assault.
  :: top ::

• Re-Arm is, when the security system is disarmed and if none of the doors are opened within thirty (30) seconds, the security system will arm itself without human intervention. If central locking is connected, this will also re-lock the doors.
  :: top ::

• Interior safety light is an optional function designed to give the user vision into the cabin of the vehicle when the security system is disarmed. This will allow the user to ensure that there is no one hiding inside the car.
  :: top ::

• Perimeter safety light is used when the security system is disarmed, the indicators will flash and then stay on for 15 seconds. This is for when the vehicle is parked in a dark location, the user will be able to ensure that no one is lurking close in the shadows.
• When used in conjunction with the Safety Light - Interior, the user can be confident that even though the vehicle is in the dark they will not be sacrificing their own safety to gain access to the vehicle.
  :: top ::

• The standard siren is a siren that relies on the vehicle battery to supply power for the siren to sound. If the car battery is disconnected, the siren will not sound.
  :: top ::

• The back up battery siren is a siren that relies on its own Ni-Cad battery to supply power for the siren to sound in the event of the vehicle battery going flat or is disconnected. The vehicles main battery will charge the back up battery.
  :: top ::

• The sirens are normally multi-tone. Multi-tone sirens are known to create more attention, ensuring that the car thief will be less prone to spend time around the vehicle attempting to steal the vehicle or its contents.
  :: top ::

• Black Widow supplies 2 rolling code remote controls with each of its full alarms systems. Each remote has two (2) buttons, the large button is for arm/disarm/panic and the smaller button is for a secondary output, ie boot release
  :: top ::

• The two-stage inertia shock sensor picks up physical impacts on the vehicle at the level just short of causing damage. The two-stage is on a light shock, the alarm will emit a short sound to warn away the thief. Should the thief continue, the alarm will sound properly. This sensor is very stable and is useful in the case of body of the car being damaged and when a thief attempts to smash off locknuts.
  :: top ::

• The MFS (Multi Function Sensor) air pressure sensor picks up physical impacts on the vehicle at the level before damage is caused. This sensor operates by monitoring the air pressure within the cabin of the vehicle. Any dramatic variation, to the "air pressure benchmark" set when the security system is armed, will sound the alarm. This sensor is very stable and is useful in the case of the glass being smashed.
  :: top ::

• The microwave sensor is designed for convertibles. This sensor is installed in the cabin of the vehicle, and when the security system is armed, the sensor will detect physical presence within the cabin. This sensor is not affected by air movement, so may be used in convertibles with the top down. If a thief reaches in the cabin of the vehicle, the microwave sensor will pick up the intrusion and trigger the alarm.
  :: top ::

• Ultra-Sonics have two (2) microphone-looking sensors that detect air movement. Should there be any movement of the air within the cabin of the vehicle, the alarm will be triggered. Ultra-Sonics also pick up variation in some frequencies above the audible range, therefore this will pick up the glass shattering (and being smashed). This sensor is unstable should you leave windows down (even a little), not close all doors and windows. Vents must also be in "recirculating" mode.
  :: top ::

• The security system will accept inputs from three different sources. The three inputs are usually the doors, boot and the bonnet. Using these three main inputs, the security system can now differentiate the inputs to give the user and technician diagnostics and information related to (an) alarm event/s. Refer diagnostics.
  :: top ::

• Upgradeable means that the stated functions are only standard, refer to the options and accessories. Discuss these with your consultant to ensure that you have taken full advantage of vehicle and accessories.
