Starline A93 is a car security complex with a modern and convenient remote engine start function. The car alarm functions are configured using the Valet service button, which is mounted in the car, and a key fob with an LCD display and control buttons.

Setting the time on the keychain

To use the full functionality of the Starline A93 car alarm, you must correctly set the time on the key fob. To do this, press button No. 4 until three beeps are heard: one melodic and two short ones. At this point, the clock icon will start flashing.

REFERENCE. After entering the function menu, the user needs to immediately start setting the clock. If this is not done within 8 seconds, the keyfob will automatically exit the function menu

The user sets the value of hours and minutes using buttons No. 2-3. After setting the hours, the transition to minutes is carried out using button No. 4.

Another light press on button No. 4 switches the key fob to the alarm setting mode. The alarm clock is set in the same way as current time. The alarm setting mode is exited using button No. 4. If there is no activity for 8 seconds, you will be logged out automatically.

Reset to factory settings

To reset the settings to factory settings, you must turn on the ignition and press the Valet button 9 times. The car will notify that the alarm is in the mode of resetting all user settings with 9 siren signals.

To exit the reset all settings mode, you need to turn off the ignition, or wait until the system exits automatically. In confirmation of the exit, the car will emit three light signals.

Automatic engine start

Using the Starline A93 alarm, you can program the following parameters:

  • car engine start by alarm clock;
  • periodic autostart of the engine;
  • starting a car engine by temperature.

It is not possible to start the engine automatically if the vehicle has the ignition on, the brake pedal is depressed, the hood is open, or the parking brake is applied, and on vehicles with a manual transmission, the program neutral procedure has not been performed.

Alarm start engine

When this function is activated, the car engine will automatically start at the set time. To activate the function, do the following:

  • the cursor of the key fob is brought to the icon with the image of a clock and briefly press button No. 1, after which the car emits one light signal, and the key fob - one melodic sound;
  • the key fob display shows the time after which the engine will automatically start on an alarm clock;
  • after 5 sec. the key fob resumes the indication of the current time.

The alarm auto start function is activated for one start cycle. The fact that the mode has been successfully switched on is indicated by active icons depicting a clock and a bell on the key fob display.

Intermittent engine start

Alarm "Starline A93" allows you to regularly start the car engine at regular intervals. The start period can be set from 2 hours to 24 hours, with a minimum step of 2 hours.

To activate the mode, you must:

  • place the key fob cursor on the hourglass icon and briefly press button No. 1 - the car will respond with one light signal, and the key fob with one melodic sound;
  • the key fob display will show the current value of the car engine autostart period for 4 seconds (for example, “4H” means that the engine will start every 4 hours).

To change the engine autostart period, you need to lightly press button No. 1 until the desired value appears on the display. Each press of button 1 increases the automatic start period by 2 hours.

After the desired value of the autostart period appears on the display, press button No. 1 and hold it until a melodic trill, or wait for the selected autostart period to be automatically saved, which will occur 4 seconds after selecting the desired parameter. At the same time, two short melodic signals will sound on the key fob, and an hourglass icon will begin to appear on its display. A few seconds after setting the selected parameters, the engine will automatically start and warm up.

Starting the engine by temperature

This function monitors the outside temperature and, if necessary, starts the car's engine to warm it up. The start temperature is set within the limits from -3 o C to -27 o C, the minimum step is 3 o C. The minimum time interval between restarts (excluding the time spent on warming up the engine) is 60 minutes. After the user activates the temperature start function, the number of temperature starts is not limited.

To enable the engine autostart mode by temperature, perform the following actions:

  • they press the icon with the image of the key and button No. 1 - the car reacts with one light signal, and the key fob emits a melodic trill once;
  • for the next 4 sec. the key fob display shows the current value of the start temperature;
  • to change the temperature value, you need to press button No. 1 (1 press \u003d 3 ° C);
  • after selecting the desired temperature parameters, hold button No. 1 until the beep, or wait for automatic saving, which occurs after 4 seconds.

If the engine autostart function by temperature is successfully activated, the key fob emits two short melodic signals, and the key icon on the key fob display becomes active.

How to register a keychain

Up to 4 remote control fobs can be registered in the memory of the Starline A93 car alarm. For this you need:

  • disable security mode;
  • press the Valet button seven times;
  • turn on the ignition - the car will emit seven siren signals;
  • shortly press buttons No. 1-2 - the car will emit one siren signal, and the key fob - one beep;
  • turn off the ignition - the car will react with three light signals.

If there are several key fobs, then the second paragraph is repeated for each of them. In this case, the interval between recording key fobs should not exceed 5 seconds.

IMPORTANT! During registration of key fobs, all information about previous key fobs is deleted from the system memory. Therefore, all new and old key fobs must be registered within one programming cycle.

Adjusting the sensitivity of the shock sensor

The vehicle impact sensor is located in the transceiver. Its sensitivity is determined on a 14-point scale, where the value "01" corresponds to the minimum sensitivity, and the value "14" corresponds to the maximum. The value "0" disables the selected shock sensor level.

Setting the sensitivity of the warning level of the sensor

To set the sensitivity of the warning level of the shock sensor, do the following:

  • disable security mode;
  • turn off the ignition;
  • press button No. 3 on the alarm key fob, first for a long time, until a sound signal, and then once, while the car will emit three light signals and two siren signals, and the key fob will emit a melodious sound and an indication of the warning level of the shock sensor will appear on its display;
  • by short pressing the buttons №2-3 select the required value of the sensor sensitivity level.

The factory setting for this parameter is 10.

Setting the sensitivity of the alarm level of the sensor

To adjust the sensitivity of the alarm level of the shock sensor, it is necessary to press button No. 3 on the alarm key fob, first for a long time, until the beep, and then once - the car will respond with one light signal, and the key fob will make a melodious sound. After that, an indication of the alarm level of the shock sensor will appear on the display.

The factory value of the sensitivity of the alarm level of the signal sensor is 5. To correct this value, you need to use the buttons No. 2 and No. 3. It should be taken into account that the sensitivity value of the alarm level of the shock sensor cannot be higher than the sensitivity value of the warning level.

To exit the shock sensor sensitivity setting mode, press button No. 3 first for a long time, until a beep, and then briefly. The car reacts with three light signals and two siren signals. The keychain makes a melodic sound.

Disabling the alarm

If the battery in the key fob is dead or the button is broken, then the alarm can be turned off in an emergency way or using a secret code.

Emergency shutdown of the alarm system without a key fob

For emergency shutdown alarm "Starline A93" without a key fob, you must use the Valet service button. They operate like this:

  • open the door with a key - an alarm goes off;
  • turn on the ignition;
  • press the service button four times within 20 seconds;
  • turn off the ignition.

Thereafter alarm turns off. You can start the car.

Emergency shutdown of the alarm system using a secret code

To disable burglar alarm using a personal secret code, you need to do the following:

  • open the door with a key;
  • turn on the ignition;
  • in 20 seconds, make the number of pressures on the Valet button corresponding to the first digit of the secret code;
  • turn off the ignition;
  • turn on the ignition again;
  • press the Valet button, but this time the number of presses should correspond to the second digit of the secret code;
  • turn off the ignition.

The car informs about disabling the alarm with a pair of beeps and flashing emergency lighting.

Setting the clock, timer and alarm clock of the Starline car alarm is necessary for accurate activation of timed functions. For example, to use remote automatic engine start. You can do it yourself using the user manual.

Instructions for setting the time

The procedure for setting the time on the Starline key fob may differ depending on the alarm model.

How to put and set the time on the remote:

  1. Take the pager and hold down the key under the third number, it is used to adjust the clock settings of the security system. Hold down the key until the key fob speaker emits one melodic pulse. After that, another short beep will sound, and then two more short melodies will sound. This indicates a successful entry into the clock programming mode. On the key fob "signaling" the indicator with the clock will blink. With the key under the first number, the hour values ​​are increased, and with the second button, this parameter can be decreased.
  2. Then briefly press the third key to set the minutes. This will cause the minute indicator to flash on the display. Key 1 increases the minutes, and the second button decreases them.
  3. After that, click on the 3 key, this will cause the pager to enter the alarm parameter activation mode. When the corresponding indicator starts blinking, the first key will increase the readings, and the button number two will decrease them.
  4. Click the key again to set the alarm minutes. The same way the procedure for increasing and decreasing parameters is performed.
  5. With the subsequent short-term click on the key 3, you can activate or deactivate the alarm clock. Button 1 of the “signal” turns on the function, and the key number 2 turns it off.
  6. If you continue to press the key number 3, the menu for setting the alarm timer will open. When the option indicator starts flashing, the first and second keys decrease or increase the parameters. With the subsequent short-term click on the third key, the minutes indicator will flash. Adjustment of value is made by similar buttons. After setting, pressing the key number 3 will activate or deactivate the option.
  7. To leave the clock setting mode, you just need to not touch the buttons on the pager for five seconds.

Irina Belousova showed how to independently set the time on the Starline pager.

How to set the time on the key fob, E91, B94:

  1. To enter the settings menu, you need to click and hold down the key at number 4. The button is held until the pager of the security system emits one long, and then two short beeps.
  2. After that, you will hear another long and two short beeps. On the pager screen, you can see the indication of the first option. With the help of the first and fourth keys, the required function is selected. F1 is used to adjust the time and date settings.
  3. After selecting an option, click on the fourth button and hold it down until two short beeps sound.
  4. Specify an adjustment option. The pager allows you to set not only the minutes and hours, but also the day, month and year. To select the desired value, click on the fourth or first key.
  5. Once a parameter has been selected, the values ​​are adjusted by using the second and third buttons.
  6. When all values ​​are set, you must exit the setup mode. The alarm will automatically leave it if you do not click on the pager buttons for eight seconds. You can exit the settings menu by holding the first button on the transmitter. Exiting the mode will be signaled by two short beeps from the pager.

Causes of settings failure

If the wrong time is displayed on the control device, then first of all it is necessary to diagnose the battery condition in the pager. All remote controls of modern Starline security systems are equipped with the option of indicating the battery charge. When the battery loses its capacity and cannot perform its main function, a low indicator will be displayed on the screen. In addition to the icon on the display, the remote control will emit a characteristic melodic signal.

The cause of the failure may be the replacement of the battery. When a new battery is installed in the pager, it will reset the time automatically. Please note that changing the power supply will reset the anti-tamper alarm settings. After you change the battery, you need to activate the security mode. Only then is it possible to set time indicators. The problem of settings failure may be due to the fact that the car owner made mistakes during the adjustment.

Andrey Sharshukov showed how the time values ​​are adjusted on the key fob from the Starline A93 complex.

Trouble-shooting

To fix the problem, it is necessary to diagnose the key fob and, if necessary, change the power sources. If the malfunction consisted in the failure of the pager itself, then the device must be repaired or replaced.

After eliminating the cause of the malfunction in the Starline key fob, you will have to re-adjust the clock readings.

There are two options:

  1. Traditional. Setting the time parameters is carried out according to the instructions described above.
  2. Radical. The power supply in the pager is replaced at 00-00. All time parameters will automatically reset to zero, and the time will start counting from the set point.

What happens if you don't set the clock?

The ICE remote start options may fail. The power unit of the machine will not be able to start on time by an alarm clock, after a certain time interval, or by a timer. After implementing the remote start option, the power unit will remain unheated, which, due to increased loads, can lead to damage to the starter device.

On the Starline alarm key fob, not only useful system information is displayed, but also the time that is manually set.

Most car alarm key fobs that have a screen can also display the time. Not only is this practical in terms of being in control of your schedule and time awareness, but it's also handy for implementing additional auto-launch capabilities. Starline does not lag behind its competitors and also uses the clock function in its arsenal. Setting them up is not difficult, you need to know the main principles of controlling the alarm key fob.

ATTENTION! Found a completely simple way to reduce fuel consumption! Don't believe? An auto mechanic with 15 years of experience also did not believe until he tried it. And now he saves 35,000 rubles a year on gasoline!

Even though Starline has simplified the time setting procedure to the maximum, some issues related to failed installation attempts continue to arise.

Possible Causes of Failed Time Settings

If you find that the time is no longer displayed correctly on your Starline keychain, then you should check the battery condition. It is quite easy to do this, thanks to the built-in battery indicator function. If the battery loses the necessary quality work energy, the corresponding picture appears on the display, accompanied by a sound signal. And although this reason is extremely rare, especially for Starline, check any possible options necessary.

The second reason could be a battery change. After installing a new battery, the time is automatically reset.

Be careful, replacing the battery inevitably entails resetting the anti-hacking protection, so the first thing to do is not to set a new indicator, but to put the car on the Starline alarm.

Another reason is incorrectly adjusted clock values ​​or an incorrect set-up procedure.

Debugg

Regardless of the conditions that caused the failure or reset, you will have to restore the watch. You can do this in two ways:

  1. Classic. The time is set by service commands on the alarm key fob;
  2. Radical. Replace the battery at zero hours zero minutes. The time values ​​will be reset to zero, the countdown will start from the given point.

Setting new indicators on the Starline alarm display has general principles for most models. They are performed using a specific algorithm of actions, which can be conditionally divided into three types, depending on the generation of the Starline alarm and some of its features.

Making settings for E, D, B series

Car alarms Starline markings , D and allow you to set the time period by performing the following actions:

Press the fourth button on the control panel and hold it until the countdown of three signals - one long and two short. After that, 4 menu functions will appear on the screen. Select the desired one by pressing the fourth key again. You can set the date and time using the first function. It is designated as F-1. After that, hold down the fourth button again, wait for two signals and start setting the time using the first two service keys.

Making settings for the A series

Setting the necessary parameters on the Starline A series alarm depends on the model number.

And it provides for the presence of four service keys, which determines the features of the commands produced.

It is possible to set the time parameters on these devices by long pressing the fourth key. After three consecutive beeps, the hour digits will flash, and changing the values ​​will be possible using the second and third keys. To set the minutes, press the fourth button again and repeat the above steps.

And they have a simplified look and are content with the presence of three service buttons.

To carry out this procedure on the key fobs of these models, you will need to press and hold the third button with the image of an asterisk for up to three characteristic signals. After that, you can adjust the hours and minutes. The keys to open and close the lock allow you to decrease or increase the numbers, and the asterisk button to move between hours and minutes.

What happens if you don't set up

The least that can happen in this case is that you lose additional information. More - such autorun parameters as starting on an alarm clock, at a specified interval or on a timer will be lost for models a91 and b9.

The consequences of this may be an unheated engine and an increased collection time, failure of the starter due to high loads with a standard start in the cold season, as well as the need to replace the battery with a long period of non-use vehicle at low temperatures.

The appearance of the StarLine signaling in the automotive markets was a real discovery: a great combination innovative features, a high level of protection and an intuitive interface made the system a leader among security systems. Why car alarms deserve such high marks, how it differs from analogues and how to set up the Starline key fob.

Features of the Starline alarm

The interactive data encryption method is one of the main features of the Starline car alarm, which reduces the risk of car hacking. All models of the system, designed for use in urban environments, have a large range, reaching one and a half thousand kilometers. Signaling resistance to radio interference is ensured by separate channels to which radio interference is directed.

A distinctive feature of the Starline alarm is self-diagnosis - the system automatically checks and controls the operation of all sensors in the car. The alarm key fob or the unit's LED indicator notify the driver of damage to the system or any of its elements. Any Starline alarm model is equipped with an instruction manual, which contains information about what type of protection is provided in a particular complex.

Car alarms are equipped with various protective mechanisms that prevent hacking attempts:

  • Interception of the system signal is not possible through dynamic code;
  • The alarm signal can be interrupted without removing protection from the car;
  • The alarm signal is cyclic, but the number of repetitions is limited;
  • In the event of a power outage, all car alarm settings are saved;
  • You can turn off the alarm in an emergency by entering a personal access code.

Thanks to its compact and ergonomic shape, the keychain fits comfortably in the palm of your hand. The interface is completely in Russian, which simplifies the work with the system. The absence of an antenna on the key fobs simplifies their operation.

System Capabilities

Car enthusiasts when choosing security complex pay attention primarily to its functionality and capabilities. Depending on the specific alarm model, the set of options and the number of protected zones may vary, each of which has an individual protection algorithm.

The functionality of Starline alarms includes:

  1. Control of the engine and its blocking in case of an unauthorized attempt to start are carried out by relays - digital or conventional.
  2. Remote ignition.
  3. Door, hood and trunk protection is guaranteed by limit switches.
  4. Glasses and a body of the car are protected from blows by two-level sensors.
  5. The condition of the car interior is monitored by a sensor installed inside it.
  6. Impossible to release the parking brake.

The instructions attached to the car alarm say that the system is able not only to protect the car, but also to notify the owner in case of hacking or his attempt. Notifications can be very different:

  • Signal transmission to the key fob with feedback;
  • Sound and light notification;
  • Possibility of blocking the engine;
  • Panic mode;
  • The mode of safe blocking of the engine, simulating its malfunction.

Remote start and operation of the car engine are controlled by the car alarm processor. The functions of the system can be performed both automatically and manually by means of a key fob.

Principle of operation

Signaling StarLine systems equipped with special technology that works through a secure channel. After the security system receives a signal from the sensor, it checks it for authenticity. The response request for confirmation is sent in the form of encoded numbers.

A certain algorithm and a secret code allow the car alarm key fob to process the received signal and send a response to the control unit. The alarm will turn off if the signals sent and received in response match, and confirmation is received on the key fob. The entire process of signal exchange takes no more than a few seconds.

Instructions for use

The security system comes with an instruction manual, which not only explains the principle of its operation and how to use it, but also the installation process. Accordingly, the installation, configuration and operation of the car alarm can be carried out by the car owner independently, without contacting service centers and car repair shops.

Do-it-yourself Starline car alarm connection

The process of installing a security system requires a set of tools:

  • wrenches;
  • soldering iron;
  • Nipper;
  • Electric drill;
  • screwdriver;
  • Shrink caps;
  • Tester - they will check the wiring.

Step by step installation process

Before proceeding with the installation of a car alarm, it is necessary to de-energize the car - disconnect the terminals battery. You can consider the installation process using the example of a Chevrolet Lanos car.

  1. The dashboard is removed. To do this, the dashboard is disassembled: the climate control and headlight control units, the lining under the “small” glove box and radio are removed.

    Location of climate control and headlight control units The location of the screws on which the overlay of the headlight control unit is mounted The location of the lining on the right side
    The location of the fasteners above the dashboard Location of climate control unit mountings

  2. The instrument panel itself is removed. It is attached with three connectors.
  3. The main car alarm connections will be made on the dashboard connectors.
  4. The pads of the torpedo and steering wheel are removed: the first is fastened with two self-tapping screws from the side of the steering wheel, two self-tapping screws and one screw from below, the second - with four self-tapping screws.
  5. A six-pin power connector is connected to the ignition switch.
  6. The cover is removed from the fuse box, the bolts that secure the fuse box itself are unscrewed.
  7. A wiring harness protrudes from the driver's door, located behind the fuse box. The central lock is connected to it.
  8. The LED lamp and the signal receiving-transmitting unit are installed inside the car interior.
  9. In the engine compartment there is a siren, a temperature sensor and a hood limit switch. The tailgate is attached to the trunk.
  10. All removed interior lining elements are returned to their place.

The locations of the parts of the system are determined in advance. Most safe places for the control unit are the front seats or the space behind the instrument panel. The siren is mounted in a place protected from moisture - the space next to the engine is optimal. They try to position the antenna in such a way that it does not come into contact with the metal and wiring of the car.

A shock sensor is mounted in the central part of the cabin. This arrangement is chosen due to the fact that it must read the impact at the same distance from all sides.

An LED is attached to the center console. Such a prominent location warns would-be car thieves that the vehicle is under protection.

Connection of all elements is carried out only when the protected mode is enabled. After placing all the parts and setting up the system, grounding is performed and power is supplied. The installed alarm system is tested for correct installation and performance.

During the test, the car alarm may falsely work. The reason for this is the high sensitivity of the installed sensors - to eliminate such a reaction, it is necessary to recalibrate them.

immobilizer crawler

An immobilizer is one of the anti-theft devices that block the operation of the engine and some other components in the event of an unauthorized entry and start of the engine. Similar devices are different increased efficiency what insurance companies use: agencies agree to conclude contracts with car owners only if the vehicle is equipped with such equipment.

It is impossible to visually determine whether there is such a device in the car or not - it does not give either sound or light signals. The main task of the device is to prevent the hijacker from starting the car. Even if the device is discovered and subsequently destroyed, all components and elements of the machine will remain blocked, which often becomes a problem for the vehicle owner.

When installing an alarm system, you can bypass the immobilizer. There are several ways to do this, but one of the most popular is the use of a crawler - a module that allows you to overcome the immobilizer. Such prizhbory are created and sold by the same companies that are engaged in the production of security systems, related equipment and its installation.

The bypass module, or immobilizer crawler, is a compact device, inside and outside of which there are transceiver antennas. A chip or key is also hidden in the body of the device. Both antennas are designed to receive and transmit a signal when the vehicle engine is started using the alarm key fob. The crawler only works when the car is started from the alarm key fob and does not respond to the use of the key.

A specialist should choose an immobilizer crawler. The main difficulty in this process is the selection of a module corresponding to a specific car model: on many of them, the signal supplied by the immobilizer is too weak, which is why it has to be amplified first.

Bypass modules are developed specifically for specific models of alarm systems. For example, for the StarLine A91 Dialog system, the StarLine BP-03 crawler was created - it is this device that is synchronized with this car alarm model.

Setting up a car alarm

The first step after installing a security system is to correct setting. It should start with binding to the key fob system.

Keychain binding

The keychain from the Starline car alarm cannot be worn together with metal keys. A similar taboo is imposed on any other security systems.

The car alarm comes with two remote controls. The main one - with a liquid crystal display and four control keys. The additional one does not have a display, it is equipped with only three buttons and a light indicator. Before using the key fob, the basic settings of the system are carried out:

  • Set the date and time;
  • Set an alarm - if the car owner needs it;
  • Set up a timer;
  • Adjust the volume of emitted signals;
  • Select the beep tone.

Priority in system control is always given to the main key fob. In fact, it is the only remote control from which remote control security complex. An additional key fob can only be used as a duplicate in case the main one is out of order. Car alarm settings using the key fob buttons are carried out as follows:

  • Several quick presses, each of which lasts no more than half a second;
  • By pressing the key until a beep sounds;
  • Double clicks on the buttons;
  • Successive pressing of several keys.

The variations of actions with the key fob listed above are necessary to activate and deactivate certain functions of the Starline system.

Cursor setting

Some of the modes supported by the car alarm are programmed using the cursor method. In the user manual, the function keys are marked, with the help of which the configuration is carried out. Activation of the cursor method occurs by two keystrokes - one lasts until the sound signal appears, the second - fast - confirms the activation. As a result, an icon corresponding to the enabled function should appear on the LCD of the main key fob. The control buttons allow you to move from one character to another, selecting the desired function. Activation of the selected option is carried out by pressing other keys - their numbers are listed in the instruction manual.

Using the cursor method, you can activate and deactivate almost all Starline alarm functions:

  • The function of locking and unlocking doors;
  • anti-robbery function;
  • Silent protection mode;
  • Third party service mode;
  • Turning the turbo timer on and off and many others.

Alarm modes

The Starline security complex has wide functionality and a set of programmable modes:

  • Anti-robbery;
  • Alarm immobilizer;
  • Self-diagnosis of the system and sensors;
  • Panic mode;
  • Quiet mode with both running and off engine;
  • Automatic start of the security system in case of its shutdown;
  • Silent operation of sensors in response to impacts on glass, bodywork and wheels;
  • GPS monitoring and determining the coordinates of the car;
  • VALET mode - emergency call for help;
  • Independent programming of a new key fob in case of loss of the old one with the destruction of the old encryption code;
  • Automatic blocking of wheels in case of evacuation of the car by special equipment.

How to program them?

Activating the keys on the main alarm key fob allows you to control all the modes stored in the system memory. Changing certain parameters, adjusting and selecting modes are accompanied by sound and visual cues: Icons appear or disappear on the display.

To program the modes, you must press a certain combination of keys on the alarm key fob. What matters is not only the correct sequence of pressing the buttons, but also the duration of their retention.

A few examples of programming car alarm modes:

  • Sequential pressing of the first and second keys activates the silent guard mode;
  • A similar pressing of the first and third keys starts the car engine;
  • Pressing the second and first keys with a break in a second starts the car security with the engine running;
  • Sequential pressing of the second and third keys turns off the engine;
  • The key fob buttons are unlocked by simultaneously pressing the second and third keys;
  • The lock of the key fob buttons is activated by simultaneously pressing the first and third keys;
  • Panic mode is activated when the first and second buttons are pressed at the same time and the engine is turned off. With the engine running, a similar action will start the anti-robbery mode.

The meaning of the key fob keys and icons

Button 1

  • A single press activates the sound mode of protection, a long press - silent;
  • Double pressing activates and deactivates the shock sensor;
  • A single click locks the car doors when the engine is running.

Button 2

  • One press deactivates the armed mode with sound. Pressing again deactivates the same silent mode;
  • Single click opens door locks with the engine running;
  • Double single click activates the anti-robbery mode;
  • A single press turns off the alarm.

Button 3

  • One key press controls the system status;
  • Double pressing turns on the search mode;
  • Pressing the key on the key fob with the display starts the cursor programming mode. It includes various functions - temperature or time start, timer start, immobilizer and turbo timer activation, service maintenance.

How to set up system autostart

The autostart function of the security system is configured by the master who installed the alarm system using a personal PIN code entered into the modular control unit. During the first start-up, all factory settings and changes made to them are stored in the memory of the security complex.

Internal failures and system malfunctions are extremely rare, but if this occurs, they are eliminated by resetting all settings to factory settings. This can be done by pressing the service key VALET or entering a secret code.

Sensitivity adjustment

A two-level sensor is installed in the Starline system, the principle of operation of which is based on the piezoelectric effect: before the car body is hit, it detects sound wave. Such sensitivity is guaranteed only by a rigid mounting of the sensor on metal surface associated with the body. To adjust the sensitivity, you need to increase the warning zones and decrease the other two. Then the security mode is turned on, and after 40 seconds a light blow to the body is made.

In a similar way, the level of sensitivity is checked: it is reduced if the reaction is too sharp. The zone of full alarm is debugged in a similar way. For the warning and alarm indicators of the shock sensor, the maximum sensitivity is 14, the minimum is 0.1. Zero value, of course, completely disables the sensor.

Decreasing the sensitivity level

In the service book of the car, the location of the alarm control unit is indicated only if the standard security system is installed in the car. Otherwise, you will have to focus on the VALET key: the wiring to the control unit departs from it. It is located, as a rule, not far from the pedal assembly. Sensitivity is reduced by adjusting the control responsible for this function. The indicator should not exceed the average values ​​and not be lower than 4-5 units.

Setting incorrect sensitivity values ​​can cause malfunctions in the alert system, due to which it will not be able to transmit signals about serious damage to the wheels and car body. The location of the antenna module also has an effect on the level of sensitivity. Mounting the antenna on the windshield reduces the likelihood of the alarm system being triggered in the event of a blow to the rear of the body or wheels. You can change the alarm parameters and adjust the sensitivity by simply moving the module to another location and then checking it.

Car alarm problems Starline

The following failures can be considered common malfunctions of the Starline car alarm:

  • Discharging key fob. The battery installed in the remote control does not long term operation, therefore, at the first signs of incorrect operation of the system, it is worth checking and replacing the battery if necessary;
  • Power problems - a discharged car battery, problems with the fuse box or the power supply system of the alarm itself;
  • Damage to the central control unit. Such problems can lead to a complete failure of the entire system;
  • Sensor malfunctions. Individual alarm elements can always be replaced with new ones.

Most problems can be solved by replacing the failed part with a new one. The most difficult is the control unit - its repair and replacement cost a large amount, since key fobs and some other alarm components must be replaced along with it. It is worth entrusting such work only to the masters who installed the security complex.

If the key fob does not respond

The lack of response of the key fob to pressing the keys is not always a symptom of a serious breakdown. In most cases, the cause of this malfunction is a dead battery. If, after replacing the battery, no changes have occurred and the key fob has not come to life, then it is worth looking for other causes of malfunctions in its operation:

  • There are high-voltage lines or a powerful radio station near the parked car - they can jam the signal coming from the key fob;
  • The car battery is dead;
  • The key fob is not in the alarm range.

In the situations listed above, it is enough to drive the car away and re-check the key fob. The absence of a positive result may require the disassembly of the system control panel.

  • The key fob is disassembled. In the insides, it is necessary to look for cracks, traces of poor-quality soldering and other damage;
  • With the help of a soft brush, debris, dust, wool must be removed. It is impossible to wipe microcircuits with liquids - they can fail;
  • Departed parts are carefully soldered into place;
  • All wires, conductors and other parts are checked with a multimeter.

If full check and parsing the key fob, he did not begin to respond to keystrokes, then you should pay attention to the tuning capacitor. It is rotated 10 degrees with a screwdriver in programming mode and with the button pressed. The procedure is repeated until the system and key fob are synchronized.

Causes of settings failure

The failure of the set time indicators in the StarLine car alarm key fob, as a rule, is caused by three main reasons:

  • problems with the power supply;
  • disruption at work software;
  • mechanical damage.

However, there are other factors that can affect the operation of the device and disrupt the performance of the clock, alarm, and timer.

Why are the key fob indicators reset?

The main reasons for the failure of the key fob and resetting the time indicators:

  1. My battery is almost done. When the battery is low, the device does not have enough power to function properly. As a result of this, serious violations can be observed in the operation of the pager, including zeroing of the time indicators. To prevent this, you need to regularly check the battery volume indicator, which is on all key fobs of the StarLine security complex. When the battery charge drops to a critically low level, the key fob emits a corresponding signal, and a characteristic icon appears on its screen. To replace the battery, you will need standard AAA batteries.
  2. Replacing the old battery with a new one. When you install a new battery, the time, date and timer settings are automatically reset. All other settings are saved in full and will be activated the first time the unit is connected to the alarm.
  3. Incorrect operation of the software. In the key fob software system, failures sometimes occur, which can not only reset the time and date, but also violate the settings of the alarm protection function. With this type of failure, the only way to optimize the operation of the key fob is to flash the device. It is recommended to entrust this task to specialists.
  4. Short circuit. The malfunction is a consequence of the ingress of water into the body of the device. To eliminate it, it is necessary to determine exactly which part burned out when the contacts interacted with moisture and whether it must be replaced.
  5. Mechanical damage. Dropping to the floor or hitting the key fob can cause mechanical damage to the device, for example, disconnection of some contacts.
  6. Manufacturing defects. Sometimes a manufacturing defect is the cause of persistent failures in time settings. The key fob may stop working immediately after the alarm is set or after a certain period of time, depending on the severity of the assembly flaw. If the warranty period has not yet expired, it is necessary to replace the defective device with a working pager. Before you start using it for its intended purpose (arming the car, turning the alarm on and off), you must bind it to the anti-theft complex.

Trouble-shooting

If, after replacing the battery, the key fob still does not work, then a more serious breakdown that requires repair may have become the cause of the failure.

What will be needed?

To fix a problem in the StarLine car alarm key fob, you need to prepare the following tools, devices and items:

  • a small Phillips screwdriver;
  • brush with soft bristles;
  • cotton buds;

  • soldering iron with a thin tip.

Repair instructions

To eliminate the breakdown and restore all functions of the remote control, you need:

  1. Remove the battery from the device.
  2. Using a Phillips screwdriver, unscrew the screw holding the two halves of the key fob body.
  3. Take a soft brush and gently clean the inside of the pager from dust and other contaminants.
  4. If stubborn dirt or liquid drops are present inside the device, carefully remove them with a Q-tip dipped in undiluted rubbing alcohol.
  5. Using a multimeter, check the operation of the motherboard, transistor, diode, and others. important elements. If, according to the results of the diagnostics, any part turned out to be inoperative, it must be replaced with a serviceable one. You can buy components for a key fob from an alarm at a radio parts store or other specialized points of sale.
  6. Using a soldering iron with a fine tip, install new part into the device. With the same device, you can return the departed contact to its place.
  7. Assemble the pager body and tighten the screw with a screwdriver. Insert the battery back.
