A set of security measures to protect the car is provided by various systems, one of which is the Starline B9 car alarm. The complex not only protects the vehicle, but also gives the driver confidence that everything is in order with the car. Alarm system "Starline B9" provides complete information about the condition of the vehicle, which allows the owner to remain calm during prolonged absence.
Alarm Features
Security complex "Starline B9" exercises control over several zones at once:
- The hood, doors and trunk of the car are controlled by limit switches.
- Wheels, bodywork and windows with a two-level shock sensor.
- Digital and conventional relays - engine start.
- Ignition of the car through a voltage sensor.
- Parking brake - with a limit push-button switch.
The selection and interception of the system code is impossible due to the original dialog control code and the coding algorithm "friend or foe". The initial state of the Starline B9 alarm is maintained in the event of a shutdown and is restored when power returns. The engine lock is maintained unchanged when the external power is turned off if the car is protected at the time of shutdown. Alarm cycles from sensors are limited. You can interrupt alarms without removing the vehicle from the armed mode.
Anti-theft and protective functions
According to the instructions, the Starline B9 alarm system is equipped with a rich set of functions, including programmable activation of the power unit depending on temperature and time. As well as remote engine start.
Alarm "Starline B9" is equipped with the following functions:
- Alarm triggering when sensors are activated in armed mode. A signal and an alarm notification are sent to the feedback panel.
- Automatic blocking of the car engine when the immobilizer mode is turned on 30 seconds after the ignition is extinguished, regardless of which security mode is activated.
- Depending on the programming in anti-robbery mode, the following occurs: the engine is locked, the door locks are automatically closed in pulse mode for the first 30 seconds, then on an ongoing basis.
- Turbo timer for turbocharged vehicles. It supports the operation of the engine after turning off the ignition until the turbine stops completely. When the protection is activated simultaneously, the system temporarily blocks the ignition inputs and disables the shock sensor, bypassing the engine. Arming is performed after disabling this mode.
- Security mode can be deactivated without a key fob by dialing a personal code or other functions. In both cases, they use the service button to disarm the car.
- The personal emergency shutdown code can be programmed and includes up to three digits.
- When disconnected from the connectors of the central alarm unit "Starline B9", the car remains guarded, and the engine does not unlock.
System Service Functions
A number of service functions are available in the Starline B9 alarm system: silent protection, security mode with the engine running, panic mode, silent on and off functions, vehicle search and work with GPS / GSM modules. The system automatically diagnoses the state of the sensors, bypasses the fault zones and gives a full report. There are several ways to start the engine: remote using a key fob, turning on by timer, alarm or temperature. You can program the system depending on the characteristics of the vehicle - the presence of an automatic or manual gearbox, a different type of power unit.
Alarm equipment
The Starline security system is delivered in the following complete set:
- Installation kit for Starline B9: central unit, antenna with transceiver module, temperature sensor, driver call button, cable set.
- Two-level shock sensor. It captures strong and weak strokes, to which the system responds with a series of short beeps or the activation of a full alarm.
- Temperature sensor for the motor.
- Remote controls - a three-button key fob without a screen and feedback functions and a key fob with a liquid crystal screen and feedback.
- Instruction manual "Starline B9".
- The LED installed in the car, which serves as an indicator of the operating mode.
- Emergency switch - a key that is installed in the car so that it has free access, but its location is hidden.
- Installation and operation documentation - instructions for "Starline B9", warranty card, service papers.
Remote controls
The car alarm kit includes two key fobs - the main and auxiliary. The first is equipped with a liquid crystal screen and three keys, coupled with a feedback function. The current status of the car alarm is displayed on the key fob display using clear icons. Programming of the system, according to the instructions to "Starline B9", is carried out by means of a key fob. The key fob displays information such as the temperature of the passenger compartment and engine of the vehicle, additional parameters. The battery is a 1.5-volt AAA battery. Its charge lasts for 6–9 months of operation, depending on the intensity and frequency of use.
Key Fob Key Assignment
On both remote controls, the buttons have the same function:
- Key 1. Activates the security mode, locks the locks, controls the levels of the shock sensor.
- Key 2. Turns off the security mode, unlocks the locks, and disables the alarm. Controls an additional sensor and anti-robbery mode.
- Key 3. Activates the temperature display mode, fixes the alarm status, includes an additional channel and cursor selection of functions.
Advantages of Starline B9 Alarm
The presented model of car alarms among similar security systems occupies one of the highest positions. The scope of the alarm system is greatly expanded due to the possibility of connecting additional modules - ultrasonic, microwave sensors, pressure sensors and tilt. The system itself is built on a relay type, so you can install the complex in any place on the car. The Starline DRRTM radio relay locks out machine components.
The central alarm unit consists of 7 relays that control electric door locks, ignition, starter, light and sound, and other equipment. A feature of the Starline alarm system is the ability to remotely control the system via GSM channels in their coverage area. Simply put, you can manage the security complex using a regular phone. To use this function, you need to install a GSM module. The device is equipped with three additional inputs for equipment. When the sensors are triggered, the phone receives a call or SMS message with a notification to the car owner about the incident.
Recommendations
Car alarm Starline V9 is installed on vehicles with an on-board voltage of 12 V. According to the instructions for Starline B9, it is desirable to place the central control unit in a hard-to-reach place. In most cases, the unit is placed under the dashboard.
An antenna and a transmitter module are mounted on the windshield, which guarantees the maximum radius of action of the latter. The temperature measuring sensor in the car is located in the module, and therefore its location should be carefully considered. It is advisable to place the devices in such a way that they do not fall under the action of direct sunlight, heating systems and other heat sources.
It is also desirable to place the shock sensor in the cabin, since it requires regular and convenient access for adjustment. At the same time, it must be firmly fixed to the body. The temperature sensor is attached to the engine or to its metal parts. Automatic engine start only works correctly with accurate temperature measurement.
In a secretive but accessible place for the driver, the Valet service key is located. You should not place it in places where there is no quick access, since the button is usually required in emergency situations. Activation of the Valet mode is carried out mainly when sending the car for repair to the service station. In this mode, part of the alarm functions is disabled, so you do not need to give key rings from the system to service center employees.
