GENERAL FEATURES
Alcar® H22 is a hopping code remote controlled car alarm system. This facility offers a stronger protection than
the fixed code systems, since the remote control is changing the code at each button pressing.
The alarm system operating is done by two remote controls, trinket type. Remote controls’ range is about 30m.
If decreasing of light intensity of the LED is noticed, then the battery should be replaced.
The remote control is provided with 2 buttons that will be referred to as 1 and 2 (if the remote control has 4
buttons, then only the first two will be used for operating the car alarm). By combining the two buttons the next
following functions emerge:

ACCESS CODE INTRODUCING PROCEDURE
In order to enter the memory remote control learn/clear procedures, the system parameter programming
procedures, the “service mode” or to disarm the system in emergency cases, the car owner or installer must
introduce a programmable access code only known by the car owner or the installer, containing 4 digits
within 1 to 8.
Default value of the access code is [2][3][2][3].
In order to enter the access code the “valet” button is to be used. Whenever pressing this button the state
LED will turn on according to the following rules:
In order to introduce one of the four digits of the access code, press “valet” button as many times as the
corresponding digit shows, proceeding as follows:
- press the “valet” button shortly (about 1 second) for each digit but for the last pressing when the button
should be hold until the state LED turns off.
- pauses between two pressings shouldn’t exceed two seconds; otherwise the system considers the operator
to enter the first code digit.
- pressing the valet button longer until the state LED turning off means the operator has entered a new code
digit and the system is waiting for the next digit entering.
Examples:
In order to enter digit 5 press „valet” button for 5 times as follows:
- press „valet” button shortly for 4 times (about 1 second) stopping less than 2 seconds between
pressings;
- for the fifth pressing , hold the „valet” button pressed until the state LED turns off.
- after the fifth pressing and the state LED turning off, the system will memorize digit 5 and wait for
the next digit entering.
In order to enter digit 1, „valet” button is hold pressed until the state LED turns off. After this pressing and the
state LED turning off, the system will memorize digit 1 and wait for the next digit entering.
ACCESS CODE CHANGING PROCEDURE
x
Using the old code, enter in the “service mode” according with “Service mode / Emergency disarming”
procedure;
x
Put the contact key to OFF;
x
Switch the contact key to ON, then OFF;
x
Introduce the old access code according to “Access Code Introducing” procedure, within 15 seconds;
there will be a short optical acoustic confirmation.
x
Switch the engine contact key ON. A successful access into the programming mode will be
confirmed by a new short optical-acoustical confirmation.
Introduce the new access code according to “Access Code Introducing” procedure, within 15 seconds.
x
Note!
Turning the state LED to ON signals any pressing of “valet” button. If pressing is longer than 2 seconds, the
state LED will go out and the siren will sound, meaning that the system has memorized one digit and it is waiting
for the introducing of a new one. After introducing a 4 valid digit succession, the system will confirm by
intermittent optical acoustic signals. If the 4 digit succession stands for the right code, the operator can leave
the access code changing procedure by switching the contact key to OFF (the system will disarm), or introduce
another 4 digit succession. In both cases, the optical and acoustic signaling will stop. After introducing the new
4 valid digit succession, the system will reconfirm by intermittent optical acoustic signals, and by turning the
contact key to OFF, the system will disarm, memorizing the last succession of 4 digits for the new access code.

USER’S INSTRUCTIONS
LEARNING / CLEARING OF THE REMOTE CONTROLS
The two provided remote controls have already been learnt. Up to four remote controls can be learnt by the
alarm system.
In order to learn or clear remote controls from the memory, one should do the following:
1) Disarm the system;
2)
Switch the engine contact key twice as for the key to switch through ON, OFF, ON, OFF positions
successively;
3) Introduce the access code according to 4.2 procedure, within 15 seconds. A successful access into
learn/clear mode will be confirmed by two short optical and acoustic signals;
4) For learning, press one of buttons of the remote control, which is to be learnt - within 15 seconds after
introducing the access code; a successful learning will be confirmed by a short optical-acoustical signal;
5) In order to clear all the remote controls from the central unit memory press simultaneously both remote
control buttons (1 and 2) of a “known” remote control. Clearing of all remote controls will be confirmed by
three optical-acoustical short signals;
6) In order to leave the learn mode
switch the contact key to ON position. Leaving the learn mode will
be also made automatically after 15 seconds if no remote control button is pressed.
Note:
x The remote control recording in the central unit memory is cyclically made from location 1 to location 4.
So, if the memory is full, the oldest remote control will be erased when learning a new one. If there are
free locations, the new one will be learnt in the first location found free.
x By simultaneously pressing both buttons of a new remote control, while in learning/ clearing mode, then
the new remote control will be learnt without all the remote controls being cleared.
x If the same remote control is learnt twice, it will be confirmed for a second time too, without filling a
second memory location.
x In case of remote control stealing or losing an operation of clearing of all the remote controls will
be performed. Then, the remained remote controls and the new ones will be learnt.
x In case of stealing or losing of all remote controls, a new remote control learning operation will be
performed. Then an operation of clearing all the remote controls will be performed followed by a
learning operation for the new remote controls.

Parameter 0 – Siren type
It is chosen by the installer according to the siren to be used.
Parameter 1 – Existing central door lock/unlock
It is chosen by the installer for additional commands when alarming.
Parameter 2 - Central door lock/unlock timing
It is chosen by the installer, according to central door lock/ unlock system existent on the car.
Parameter 3 - Auto door lock when starting the engine
The system can lock the doors automatically after 8s since starting the engine if meanwhile no door is opened.
This parameter is disabled by default. It can be chosen according to the car owner’s option.
Parameter 4 - Auto door unlock when turning OFF the engine
The system can unlock the doors automatically when turning the engine off if the engine worked for more than
8s. This parameter is disabled by default and can be chosen according to the car owner’s option.
Parameter 5 - Auto door unlock when disarming
The system commands door unlocking when disarming only if this parameter is set as being enabled. Contrary
to that, after disarming, the user can unlock the doors using the key or 2-step door unlocking facility (parameter
6). This parameter is enabled by default.

USER’S INSTRUCTIONS
Parameter 6 - 2 Step door unlock when disarming
If both 5 and 6 parameters are set as being enabled, then, if button 2 of the remote control is pressed within
arming period (30s since disarming), the doors will be unlocked. This parameter is disabled by default.
Parameter 7 – Comfort
It is chosen by the installer if the car allows it or according to the car owner’s option (check “Comfort” function).
Parameter 8 - Perimeter sensor
It is chosen by the installer according to alarm system complexity. If perimeter sensor is not installed, then dual
mode is not enabled.
Parameter 9 - Internal sensor
It is chosen by the installer according to alarm system complexity. If perimeter sensor is not installed, then dual
mode is not enabled. If one or both sensors are not installed, then the sensor / sensors which is/are not installed
will be skipped within remote controlled sensor bypassing sequence.
Parameter 10 - Dual mode
One should choose this mode since the alarm system was installed on the car and only if an authorized person
allows it (respectively the alarm system installer).This mode refers to the possibility of triggering the alarm by the
ultrasonic sensor only if, within 15s, at least two sensor types (ultrasonic + perimeter or ultrasonic + shock) have
been activated.
This mode is useful in case of a complete configuration of the alarm system, since it prevents false alarms even
though the ultrasonic sensor must be adjusted at the highest sensitivity level. This parameter is enabled by
default.
Parameter 11- Plus 02
It is chosen by the installer and is enabled by default.
Parameter 12 - Plus 01
It is chosen by the installer and is disabled by default. By combining parameter 11 and 12, shock sensor
prewarning/alarm treshold gets modified. This parameter is programmed by the installer according to car
owner’s option which depends on the alarm system’s response to shocks.
Parameter 13 - Door contact delay when arming
For certain car types the dome-light stays on for a certain period of time after closing the last door. So, door
contact duration when arming can or can not be enabled. This parameter is disabled by default.
Parameter 14 - Door contact delay duration
It represents the time interval within which door contact input is tested since arming. It can be taken into
consideration only if parameter 13 is programmed as being enabled. Delay duration is 5s by default.
Parameter 15 – Anti-carjacking
This function is necessary in cases when there is a risk of car dispossession right in the owner’s presence
without his/her possibility of dealing with the burglar’s aggressiveness. At the same time the alarm system
prevents the aggressor from getting away with the car and sheltering it.
Parameter 16 - Turning OFF the engine and subsequent engine starter killing within anti-carjacking
procedure
Within “anti-carjacking” procedure there are two ways of subsequent engine starter killing according to this
parameter (first way: 1 minute after procedure triggering, second way: engine starter killing only after turning off
the engine) .
Parameter 17 – Passive arming
If the system is not armed within 30s since the engine was turned off and the last door was closed, then it will
arm automatically, without operating central door locking. This facility is disabled by default.
Parameter 18 - Temporarily disabling the passive arming
If this parameter is enabled, then passive arming can be temporarily disabled by opening and closing one door
for two times within 5s. This parameter is enabled by default.
-6-
$/&$5+
USER’S INSTRUCTIONS
Parameter 19 – Signaling type for silent alarm (no siren triggering)
According to this parameter value, the system will signal silent alarm on pager only, or on pager and flashing
lights. Silent alarm is signalled on pager and lights by default.
Parameter 20 – Type of auxiliary output
It is chosen by the installer according to car owner’s desire to open the trunk by remote control or to have the
dome-light turned on for 15s since turning off the engine or closing the last door.
Parameter 21 - Doubling of alarm timing
If this parameter is enabled, alarm signalling duration is doubled. This parameter is disabled by default.
Note: Parameters 22 to 30 represent event signalling modes. They are chosen according to car owner’s
desire. If one event is chosen to be signalled according to disarming mode, then it will be only optically signalled
(on flashing lights) if arming/disarming was silent. It will be signalled optically and acoustically (on flashing lights
and siren) if arming/disarming was done acoustically (on siren also)
“SERVICE MODE” / EMERGENCY DISARMING
Under certain circumstances (such as leaving the car at car-”service”) disabling the alarm system is
recommended not to bother the people who can’t use it.
In this case, the system should be switched to “service mode”:
1) Disarm the system;
2)
Switch the contact key to ON position (when dash lights turn on);
3) Introduce the access code according to “Access code introducing” procedures, within 15 seconds. A
successful access into “service mode” will be confirmed by three optical-acoustical short signals;
4) Now the contact key can be taken OFF, and the system will remain in “service mode”.
The central unit keeps this state (even if power is removed), and does not respond to the remote control button
pressing, waiting for exit out of this mode.
In order to leave the “service mode”, repeat 2, 3 and 4 upper steps. After taking OFF the contact key, the
alarm is functional.
Emergency disarming is necessary in the limit situations when both remote controls have been lost and the
alarm system should be disarmed.
Emergency disarming is done as follows:
1) Open one of the doors to get into the car;
2)
Switch the contact key to ON position (when dash lights turn on);
3) Enter the access code according to procedure “Access code introducing”; A successful entering of
the access code will be confirmed by three optical-acoustical short signals;
4) Now the contact key can be taken out and the system enters the “service-working mode”.
5) By repeating the above-steps 2, 3 and 4 the “service-working mode” (turning to the disarmed state) will
be left.
Warning:
Only after leaving the “service mode”, after going through step 5 also, the system returns to the
disarmed state and new remote controls can be learnt.
Note:
- When opening one door or putting the contact key on, the system will go into alarm until the system
has gone through step 3 successfully.
- The system triggers the alarm before completing step 3, so while entering the access code the state
LED will be lit permanently and will turn off only when pressing the “valet” button longer than 2
seconds (it will turn off when entering the next code digit).
- After each “valet’ button releasing, the state LED will turn on again, and it will turn off for good only
after a correct entering of the last code digit and stopping the alarm state.
- You should go to the “emergency disarming” procedure only if you master procedure “Access code
introducing” properly; otherwise you should ask appeal to an authorized person.

USER’S INSTRUCTIONS
REMOTE CONTROL OPERATING
Most of the alarm system functions are operated by means of the two remote controls. Remote controls’ range
is about 30m. The remote control is provided with 2 buttons that will be referred to as 1 and 2.
The remote control is also provided with an LED that turns ON when pressing any of the buttons. If decreasing
of light intensity of the LED is noticed, then the battery should be replaced.
By combining the two buttons, a lot of functions that will be explained later will result.
Arming / Disarming with confirmation by siren chirps and flashing lights
By pressing button 1 shortly (about 0,5 seconds) one can arm/disarm the system. The system toggles
from one state to another according to its current state.
The arming confirmation is made by one optical and acoustical signal, and the disarming confirmation
will be made by two optical-acoustical signals (on flashing lights and siren).
When arming:
1) If the system detects the position lights turned ON, it will warn by a signal similar to the proximity approach
warning, according to 10-parameter value.
2) If the system detects the hood, the trunk or a door being opened, it warns by three optical-acoustical
signals and bypasses the respective inputs during arming. If afterwards the respective inputs are restored
(closing the hood, trunk or doors), they will become active. After sensor stabilization delay (20 seconds
after arming), by opening any door, the hood or the trunk again, the alarm will be triggered.
When disarming, if the alarm has been triggered while armed, four optical-acoustical signals will be emitted.
Note:
o After arming, the first 5 seconds are reserved for additional commands such as:
- remote control sensor disabling (perimeter, internal and shock sensor)
- silent alarm enabling (siren disabling when arming)
o System disarming can only be done after the 5 seconds following the arming command;
o After arming there will be a 20 seconds pre-arming period in order to set shock, perimeter and internal
sensors, or a delay period for door contacts (If enabling parameter no. 13, according to 14 parameter
value). If one of the sensors is enabled or a door is open (hood or trunk, respectively) following 20
seconds since system disarming, the system will emit 3 short signals and will bypass the respective
input during arming – door access, respectively.
o Afterwards if all the doors are closed, the respective input becomes active again (not earlier than 20
seconds since arming).
Silent arming/disarming
When no acoustical confirmation is needed, the system can signal arming/disarming only optically, using the
flashing lights.
Press one button for about 2 seconds in order to silently arm/disarm the system. All signals will become silent,
meaning that only the optical confirmation will remain active for the respective arming/disarming period (warning
for reverse car moving, for door open, for arming with position lights turned ON, for silent siren, for sensors
bypassing by remote control, for door, hood and trunk bypassing, for faulted sensor disabling when arming).
Remote controlled sensor bypassing
Remote controlled bypassing of the sensor type can only be done only within the first 5 seconds since the
arming command. Bypassing order is: perimeter sensor -> internal sensor (ultrasonic sensor) -> shock
sensor.
After arming, if button 1 of the remote control is pressed, the system bypasses the respective sensor, confirms
by an optical-acoustic or optical signal (according to arming mode) and advances to the next sensor.
If button 2 of the remote control is pressed, the system will not bypass the sensor, but it will advance to the next
sensor and confirm by optical-acoustic or optical signal.
Remote controlled sensor bypassing is only available for that respective arming period. When disarming the
system, bypassing is disabled.
-8-
$/&$5+
USER’S INSTRUCTIONS
Example: If one wishes to bypass the shock sensor only, one will proceed as follows:
1. Within the first 5 seconds since the arming command, press button 2 to advance to the shock sensor and
not to bypass the perimeter sensor. The system confirms skipping the deactivation of the perimeter sensor
by an optical-acoustical signal (or just optical if the arming was silent and parameter 30 was properly
programmed).
2. Press button 2 not to bypass the interior sensor and to advance to the shock sensor. The system
confirms skipping the deactivation of the interior sensor by an optical-acoustical signal (or just optical if the
arming was silent and parameter 30 was properly programmed).
3. Press button 1 to bypass the shock sensor. The system will confirm the deactivation of the shock sensor
by remote control by an optical-acoustical signal (or just optical if the arming was silent and parameter 30
was properly programmed).
Note:
Going through all deactivation steps by remote control for all the above-mentioned sensor types (perimeter,
interior, shock) is necessary only if the entire sensor range has been mounted on the car. If the interior
sensor or the perimeter one (or both) has not been mounted on the car or if parameter 8 or 9 programmed
the sensors as disabled, then only the remote control deactivation steps for the sensors mounted on
the car will be gone through. For example, if the interior sensor has not been mounted on the car and one
wants the shock sensor to be disarmed by remote control, then only the above steps 1 and 3 will be gone
through. Due to the fact that the interior sensor does not exist, step 2 can be skipped thus making easier the
sequence of deactivating the sensors by remote control.
Arming with silent alarm activation
If the car is parked in places where acoustic alarming is forbidden, or if the owner will not have thieves warned,
then the system can be armed with silent alarm (the siren is disabled on alarm state). This function is necessary
when the system has a pager. The alarm state will be notified on pager and flashing lights, or on pager only,
according to parameter no. 19 value.
The silent alarm function can only be activated within the first 5 seconds since the arming command, by
simultaneously pressing both remote control buttons 1 and 2. The function is active for that specific arming
period only. Function coupling is confirmed by 2 optical-acoustic signals (or only optical signals for silent
arming). When disarming the system, the function is disabled. Silent alarm enabling can be done anytime within
the 5 seconds since arming (before sensor bypassing or even between bypassing commands).
Car finding
In order to locate the car in a full parking area, press button 2 shortly (0.5 seconds). Five optical and
acoustical signals will be provided. The signals will be:
- Short if no alarm was reported meanwhile;
- Long if there was an alarm since the system was armed or since the last car finding.
This function is active with the system armed only.
NOTE!
Car finding function is not active within the first 5 seconds since the arming command.
If button 2 is pressed within the first 5 seconds since arming, this command will be interpreted according to
remote control sensor disabling procedure.
Panic
In case of emergency, pressing the two buttons of a remote control shortly and simultaneously (0.5
seconds) can trigger the alarm. The siren will sound continuously, the pager will emit the alarm signal (if it is
provided with a pager) and flashing lights will flash for three minutes.
This function is used to discourage a potential burglar, and to draw attention towards the vehicle.
The function is enabled no matter the system’s state, except the first 5 seconds since arming and can be
stopped within the three minutes by pressing any of the buttons shortly.
NOTE!
If both buttons of the remote are pressed simultaneously within the first 5 seconds since arming, the silent
alarm function will be enabled (during respective arming period the siren will be disabled).
Silent alarm function enabling will be confirmed by 2 optical-acoustic signals or optical signals, depending on
arming mode (see “Arming with silent alarm activation”, too).

USER’S INSTRUCTIONS
Signaling the remote controls’ number
The hopping code remote controls of ALCAR®-H22 are “learnt” by the central unit using the procedure
“Learning/clearing the remote controls”. The remote control number is recorded in the central unit’s memory (up
to 4) and can be notified by a simple short pressing of button 2 while in disarmed mode and the engine
stopped. The system answers by a number of optical-acoustical signals (or only optical if the system was
silently disarmed and parameter 27 was properly programmed).
Note!
x While disarmed, when the engine is turned OFF, a longer than 2 second pressing of button 2 will
activate the trunk release output (if the car is provided with such a module);
x If the conditions in 4.7.10 are met, then by pressing button 2 for a longer time within the predisarming period the doors will unlock.
x While disarmed, when the engine is turned ON, and parameter 15 (anti-car jacking) is enabled,
pressing button 2 longer (more than 2 seconds) will access the “anti-car jacking” mode.
This facility – signaling learnt remote controls’ number – increases the security offered by ALCAR®-H22 car
alarm systems. Thus, the car owner by frequently checking the number of remote controls to which the system
answers eliminates some people’s intention of “learning” additional remote controls.
Anti-carjacking mode
This function is necessary in cases when there is a risk of car dispossession right in the owner’s presence
without his/her possibility of dealing with the burglar’s aggressiveness. At the same time the alarm system
prevents the aggressor from getting away with the car and sheltering it.
In order to use it, this function must be programmed. The car owner should also keep the remote control
apart of the car keys or he/she should also have a remote control on him/her always.
Once this function triggered, the system will go into “anti-carjacking” alarm state, will stop the
subsequent engine starting, and optionally will automatically stop the engine after one minute or after the
burglar’s stopping the car (see parameters 15 and 16).
Within “anti-carjacking” procedure there are two ways of subsequent engine starter killing according to
parameter 16 (first way: 1 minute after procedure triggering, second way: engine starter killing only after turning
off the engine) .
The advantage of the first way is that the burglar cannot go away too far, the system finding itself in “ anticarjacking” alarm state with the possibility of easily localizing the car. The disadvantage is that it can happen in
dangerous places such as during a car overtaking or a railway crossing. This kind of situations can lead to an
unhappy end for the car itself and burglar too.
The second way of engine starter killing is according to the European legislation. It will happen after the car
stopped thus assuring the car integrity and the burglar’s life. After the burglar has stopped the car, the system
will go into “anti-carjacking” alarm state and the car will be easily localized.
“Anti-carjacking” protection mode triggering is done with the engine started by shortly pressing button
2 of the remote control (about 0,5 seconds) twice within a lapse of time of at most 8 seconds.
In emergency situations when the car owner is dispossessed of the car and the burglar succeeds in starting the
engine, the alarm system will go into “anti-carjacking” alarm state after shortly pressing button 2 of the
remote control (about 0,5 seconds) twice within a lapse of time of at most 8 seconds and confirming by
turning the car lights on for 2 seconds.
After confirming, the system will pass though the next steps:
1) Within the first 14s: the alarm is not functional;
2) Within the next 16s: one can leave the “anti-carjacking” procedure according to << “anti-carjacking”
protection mode leaving procedure>>;
3) Within the next 30s: the alarm will warn engine stopping (if parameter 16 is programmed according to the
default value) by chirps and flashing lights. One can leave the “anti-carjacking” procedure according to <<

4) After the 60 seconds expired, the system will go into “anti-carjacking” alarm state when the engine
stops (if parameter 16 is programmed according to the default value); the siren is sounding
continuously, and the flashing lights are blinking until the car battery is low. One can leave the
“anti-carjacking” procedure according to << “anti-carjacking” protection mode leaving procedure>>.

“Anti-carjacking” protection mode leaving procedure:
In any of the above-mentioned states 2, 3 or 4 button 2 of the remote control is pressed. After the
first pressing of button 2, the system stops the warning sounds (according to its current state when
pressing button 2), stops engine starter killing (if the system was in state 4) and will signal the command
overtaking from the remote control by 3 optical-acoustical signals. For the next 30 seconds the system will
find itself in a waiting period with no command overtaking. Next it gets to the above state 3 when it takes
back the warning signals waiting for the contact key to be taken out (the engine will stop) and for a new
pressing of button 2 of the remote control. If the engine stops within the 30 seconds (after the first pressing
of button 2), and if button 2 of the remote control is pressed again after the system got back to state 3,
the system will leave the “anti-carjacking” protection mode confirming by 6 optical signals and goes into the
disarmed state.
Warning!
If the engine will not stop or if button 2 of the remote control is not pressed again after the system got back to
state 3, then it will get to state 4. In this case the “anti-carjacking” leaving procedure must be
performed from the beginning.
Note:
x If parameter 16 is not programmed according to the default values, the system will wait for the burglar
to start the engine. If the engine has been already stopped or if it is subsequently stopped when the first 14
seconds since the “anti-carjacking” protection mode triggering have expired, the system will go straightly
into the above state 4, meaning into “anti-carjacking” alarm state, performing engine starter killing.
x Since the triggering of the “anti-carjacking” protection mode, if the powering of the alarm system is
cut off, it will start into “anti-carjacking” alarm state when being powered again.
Trunk release function by remote control
Press button 2 of the remote control for about 2 seconds in order to release the trunk (the system being in
the disarmed state).
Confirmation of Trunk release by remote control is done optically-acoustically or according to the disarming
mode and parameter 28.
This function is active only in disarmed state and the engine turned off.
It cannot be used at the same time with “dome-light” function.
Two-level door unlocking when disarming
If this option is enabled, the system will not unlock the doors when disarming, while button 1 is hold pressed. In
order to unlock the doors by remote control button 2 must be also pressed for about 2 seconds within the first
30 seconds since disarming.
Warning!
. If both parameters 5 and 6 are programmed as enabled, then parameter 5 is prior and the system will
unlock the doors when disarming by pressing button 1.
. Only the first long pressing of button 2 within the first 30 seconds since disarming stands for the 2-step door
unlocking command (when pressing one of the remote control’s buttons for a second time). If button 2 of
the remote control is pressed within the pre-warning period, the system will signal the number of learnt
remote controls. The system will release the trunk (if conditions in “Trunk release function by remote
control” are met) when any long pressing of button 2 but the first long one.
Two-step disarming, in case of alarm
Any alarm state can be stopped by pressing button 1 or 2 for a short time (approx. 0.5 seconds) without the
system being disarmed. For system disarming when the alarm is triggered, press button 1 or 2 to stop the
system, then press button 1 again to disarm the system.
AUTO-ARMING
If no door, hood or trunk is opened or if the engine is not turned ON within 30 seconds since disarming, the
alarm system will arm automatically in order to assure protection against system accidental disarming.
When auto-arming, after accidentally pressing button 1 of the remote control, the system will warn by an opticalacoustical signal or in accordance with the pressing type of button 1or according to parameter 26 value. The
- 11 -
$/&$5+
USER’S INSTRUCTIONS
system will only warn optically if the accidental pressing took a long time (if it produced a silent pre-disarming),
and if parameter 26 is programmed accordingly.
This function is permanently active.
PASSIVE ARMING / PASSIVE ARMING WARNING / PASSIVE ARMING TEMPORARY
DISABLING
If parameter no. 17 (passive arming- disabled by default) is set as being enabled, the system will auto-arm after
30 seconds since turning OFF the engine and closing the last door (passive arming).
After closing the last door, the system will notify by an optical-acoustical signal or according to the disarming
mode (in accordance with parameter 25 value). The system will warn only optically if disarming was silent and
parameter 25 was programmed accordingly.
If parameter 18 is enabled, then temporarily disable passive arming (until engine next turning OFF) by opening
and closing a door again within 5 seconds since warning.
Passive arming is useful since it prevents forgetting the car with alarm disarmed. The passive arming is done
without locking the doors.
REMOTE CONTROLLED DOOR LOCK/UNLOCK AND/OR WHEN SWITCHING ON/OFF THE
ENGINE
If the car is provided with central door locking system, the alarm can provide:
- Door locking when arming and
- Door unlocking when disarming according to the value of parameter 5 (also see – “Door unlocking
when 2-step disarming”)
The system can also unlock the doors when turning the engine OFF (see parameter no. 4) or lock them when
turning the engine ON (see parameter no. 3).
Additionally, if the engine ran for at least 8 seconds, the system can unlock the doors automatically when
stopping the engine (see parameter 4) or, it can automatically close them (see parameter 3) if at least 8
seconds have passed since the engine started.
If door locking/unlocking when starting/stopping the engine is performed according to the above-mentioned way,
an additional protection can be provided to the central door locking/unlocking system in case of repeated failed
attempts of starting the car.
REVERSE CAR-MOVING WARNING
When the car is moving backwards, the system warns by optical signals or according to the disarming mode, in
accordance to parameter no. 22 value. This parameter is enabled by default for warning according to the
disarming mode.
When silent disarming, reverse car warning is optical only.
If parameter 22 is programmed accordingly, then reverse car-moving warning is only optically. If system
disarming was also silent, then reverse car-moving warning is only optically.
OPENED DOOR WARNING
If one of the doors remains open for more than 15 seconds after turning ON the engine, the system will warn by
6 optical-acoustical signals, or in accordance with the disarming mode, according to parameter no. 23 value.
This parameter is set by default for optical-acoustical warning.
If the disarming was silent and parameter 23 is programmed accordingly, the opened-door warning is done by 6
optical signals only.
If a door is opened while driving, the system will emit the same warning signals after 15 seconds since door
opening.
The same warning signals will be emitted if the hood or the trunk is opened.

ANTISCANNING / ANTIGRABBING
ALCAR®-H22 with hopping code remote controls (the code changes at every button pressing) is protected for
scanning and grabbing.
WINDOW ELECTRIC CLOSING WHEN ARMING
If a window closing special interface module is connected to the system, then the windows will be closed
automatically when arming.
COMFORT FUNCTION
If parameter 7 - “Comfort”- is enabled, then when arming, the Comfort Function provides a longer triggering (20
seconds) on the “door lock” output, irrespective of parameter 2 value. In this case car windows and doors will
automatically lock when arming the system (there is no need of an additional module or of holding the key in the
locking position longer for the electric door locking).
“DOME-LIGHT” FUNCTION
In order to benefit by the “dome-light” function the auxiliary output must be programmed for “domelight” relay command (see parameter 20). A relay commanding the dome-light turning on will be connected to
this wire.
The dome-light will turn on for 15 seconds after engine stopping or after any door opening or closing if the panel
is in disarmed state. The dome-light will turn off if the engine starts within the 15-second lapse.
In case one makes an option for this function, passive arming will become disabled irrespective of parameter 17
value.
This function cannot be used at the same time with trunk release by remote control one.
DOOR CONTACT DELAY, WHEN ARMING
This function is only used for cars that maintain the dome lamp ON for a certain time after the last door was
closed and engine stopped. In this case, the parameter no. 13 – “Door contact delay, when arming” will be
programmed as being active
If, after delay time, the alarm system detects at least one opened door, it notifies by 3 optic-acoustic
signals and bypasses the respective input during arming. If afterwards all the doors are closed, the
respective input becomes active again but no earlier than 20 seconds since arming.
DUAL MODE
This mode refers to the possibility of triggering the alarm by the ultrasonic sensor only if, within 15 seconds, at
least two sensor types (ultrasonic + perimeter or ultrasonic + shock) have been activated.
Actually, if parameter no. 10 (Dual mode) is enabled, the alarm triggering by the ultrasonic sensor can only be
done if movement detection inside the car was preceded or succeeded by another sensor triggering within 15
seconds (shock or perimeter).
It is strongly recommended to use dual mode only when the system is provided with all sensor types
(shock, ultrasonic and microwave). This mode is useful in case of a complete configuration of the alarm
system, since it prevents false alarms even though the ultrasonic sensor must be adjusted at the highest
sensitivity level. Dual mode enabling/disabling is done by enabling/disabling parameter no. 10.
If the perimeter sensor has been bypassed by remote control or has been found defective at the arming, the
ultrasonic sensor will function separately (it won’t function within the dual mode).
PROGRAMMABLE THRESHOLD BETWEEN PRE-WARNING FOR WEAK SHOCKS AND ALARM
TRIGGERING WHEN STRONG SHOCKS
Once a command was received from the system shock sensor, the alarm system will emit pre-warning signals
for weak shocks. The system will trigger the alarm in case of weak and repeated shocks or strong ones. The
- 13 -
$/&$5+
USER’S INSTRUCTIONS
differentiation between weak and strong shocks is performed according to the duration of the shock sensor
output activation. The threshold between pre-warning for weak shocks and alarm triggering in case of
strong shocks is done by means of parameter 11 – “plus02” and 12 – “plus01”.
Parameter 11 (plus02) is enabled by default, and parameter 12 (plus01) is disabled, meaning that the default
pre-warning threshold of the shock sensor will be of 0,8 seconds.
Thus, by means of parameters 11 and 12 the pre-warning threshold of the shock sensor is settled. A proper
differentiation between the weak and strong shocks can be provided irrespective of the car weight and
dimensions.
NON-VOLATILE MEMORY FOR SYSTEM STATES
When the system is powered again (after power was OFF), it enters its previous state (armed, disarmed,
“service mode”, anti-carjacking). If the system was in the arming mode when cutting power OFF, then when
power restoring, sensor state and event memory will be restored and the system will trigger a panic alarm.
When delivered, the system is disarmed.
ALARM MEMORY INDICATION
If at least an alarm was recorded during one arming, after disarming and opening the door, the system will
indicate the type of sensor that triggered the alarm, through the state LED, as follows:
1 blink - shock sensor
2 blinks - ultrasonic sensor (with ultrasounds or 2-zone microwaves);
3 blinks - contact key (attempt to start the engine)
4 blinks - door contacts
5 blinks - hood and trunk contacts
After disarming, when key is introduced in contact or after a new arming, the alarm memory will be reset and the
state LED will turn OFF.
BYPASSED FAULTED SENSOR INDICATION
If, when arming, the system has bypassed any door, hood or trunk contact inputs or has bypassed any faulted
sensors (about 20 seconds since arming), then when disarming, after opening any door, the hood or trunk, the
system will indicate the type of bypassed sensor by the state LED, as follows:
1 blink - shock sensor
2 blinks - ultrasonic sensor (with ultrasounds or microwaves);
3 blinks - perimeter sensor (with microwaves);
4 blinks - door contacts
5 blinks - hood, trunk contacts
After disarming, when key is introduced in contact or after a new arming, the alarm memory for faulted sensors
will be reset and the state LED will turn OFF.
Alarm memory indication is prior to faulty sensor indication. Therefore, the state LED will indicate the faulty
sensors only if there was no alarm during arming.

ALARM / WARNING SITUATIONS WHILE THE SYSTEM IS ARMED
1. When opening a door, the hood or the trunk – alarm by siren, flashing lights and optionally by pager, for
30 seconds;
If a door (hood or trunk) is left opened in a burglary attempt, the system triggers the alarm (siren, flashing
lights and pager), for three times, 30 seconds each. After the 3 x 30 seconds alarm sequence, the door (hood
and trunk) input is bypassed and the other functions of the system are still active. This 3 x 30 seconds alarm
sequence is executed even if the alarm is stopped by remote control.
If subsequently the door referred to (the hood or trunk) be closed, that input becomes active again.
2. When trying to start the engine by key – alarm by siren, flashing lights and optionally by pager, for 30
seconds;
3. When the car receives a weak shock– optical-acoustical warning for 1 second;
4. When the car receives repeated weak shocks within 5 seconds or a strong shock – alarm by siren,
flashing lights and optionally by pager, for 30 seconds, 2s ON, 0,5s OFF, for 15s
5. When violating the interior of the car, if the system is provided with interior sensor– alarm by siren,
flashing lights and optionally by pager for 30 seconds;
6. When approaching the car, if the system is provided with perimeter sensor – opti-acoustic warning.
Note:
-
If the system is armed with silent alarm function (no siren), the alarm state will be notified by pager
and flashing lights or only by pager, according to the value of parameter no.19;
If parameter 21 – doubling of alarm timing – is enabled, then all timings for the above-mentioned
alarm states get doubled.
