How to install an alarm?
Installation is done like this:
- The battery turns off. This is required to deactivate the voltage in the on-board network. Otherwise, during installation, you may accidentally short the contacts on one of the devices to ground, which will lead to breakdown. To disconnect voltage from the battery, disconnect the cables with terminals.
- Install the processor module in the cabin. Choose a location for installation so that the device is inaccessible to a criminal if the car is broken into. It is best to install the device behind the control panel; this place is the most difficult to access, and you will also have to disassemble the center console. Remove the steering wheel and dashboard trim, disconnect the plugs with wires from the device. Determine a free space behind the dashboard and install the unit in it. To eliminate the negative impact of vibrations on the device while driving, the module can be wrapped with foam rubber.
- At the next stage, a siren is installed; it must be placed under the hood. Choose a location that will be least exposed to moisture and high temperatures. Installation of the device near the cylinder block is not allowed; subsequently the siren will melt and will not be able to perform its functions.
- The shock sensor is mounted in the passenger compartment. It cannot be placed under the bottom; the controller will quickly fail as a result of exposure to dirt and moisture. Install the sensor in the center of the body, this will allow it to effectively detect impacts on the car from all sides. You can place the device on the partition that separates the engine compartment and the interior.
- Install the antenna on the inside of the windshield. You can mount the transceiver under glass on the dashboard, but it is advisable that this element be located as high as possible in the cabin. This will ensure efficient reception and transmission of signals. Please note that the quality of the pulses is affected by the presence of metal objects near the antenna. It is advisable that they be located no closer than 4 cm from the device.
- Install the limit switch to the hood. After installation, route the connection cable to the switch into the car interior.
- Install the service key. The Valet button must be disguised, since it can be used to disable Sherkhan Logicar 1. You can hide the key in a bundle with standard wiring.

User manual
Below we will analyze the main nuances from the technical manual for using and setting up Sherkhan Logicar 1.
Designations of buttons and symbols on the key fob
The designation of the buttons and indicators of the Sherkhan Logicar 1 key fob is presented below.
Communicator binding
- Turn off the protective mode of Sherkhan Logicar 1. With the ignition off, press the button located on the body of the diode element; the button is pressed for two seconds. The car's lights should blink once.
- Then within five seconds you need to click on the button again. The lights will blink twice if no password is used. If there is a code, then the lighting devices will blink once.
- If you use a password, then you need to enter its value. The lights in the car will flash twice.
- After five seconds, the diode light will light continuously. This suggests that the consumer can register a new remote control. In total, Sherkhan Logicar 1 allows you to link no more than three communicators.
- Within five seconds, click on the first key of the communicator. The procedure for binding the remaining remote controls is repeated in the same way.
Basic faults
Errors and problems that the user may encounter:
- Communicator failure. Failure to operate the pager may be due to low power supplies, so when the first problems appear in transmitting commands, check the battery. If it sits down, it needs to be changed. Open the back cover and replace the power supply, observing the polarity. If the problem is mechanical damage to the communicator or exposure to moisture, you need to disassemble the case and assess the condition of the board. Damaged components such as capacitors and contacts must be replaced and re-soldered, and contact elements must be cleaned in case of oxidation.
- Damage to wires. During prolonged use, electrical circuits may be damaged, especially if they were laid in the area of moving parts of the body. Diagnostics will require the help of an electrician. If you have experience and skills, you can use a tester to find damaged wires. Electrical circuits must be replaced regardless of the nature of the damage.
- Failure of one of the components. This could be a shock sensor, a processor module, or an antenna adapter. It is necessary to diagnose the contacts on these devices, and clean the oxidized connectors. For more serious problems, detailed diagnostics of the devices will be required. You can fix control unit malfunctions yourself if they are related to the hardware. When water gets on the device, it must be disassembled and dried. But in the case of software failures, it is recommended to entrust troubleshooting to experts, since the unit may need to be reflashed.
- False positives. This problem is caused by errors made when adjusting the shock controller. In accordance with the instructions and installation diagram, it is necessary to adjust the sensor. It is necessary to reduce the sensitivity so that the controller is not triggered by passing cars. But the sensitivity threshold cannot be set to a minimum, since this will lead to the fact that Sherkhan Logicar 1 will not detect impacts on the car body at all.
Video “How to hack Sherkhan alarm system?”
User LooongJhonson showed in the video that Sherkhan security systems are not as reliable as the manufacturer claims them to be.

How to set the clock
The instruction manual has a section on setting the clock:
- Enter the setup mode by performing a long complex action on buttons I and III. If the action is correct, the word Pro9 will be activated on the display.
- Briefly press the I button to go to the clock settings section; the 4-digit field will flash on the screen.
- Set the hours and minutes by pressing keys I and II respectively.
- Write the resulting value into memory by pressing buttons II+III for 2 seconds.
How to enable autorun
Setting up autostart involves a procedure for reserving the neutral position of the gearbox lever (for manual transmission only). If the algorithm is executed correctly, an icon in the form of a key will appear on the key fob display. The programming method is configured when setting up the head unit (4 methods are supported). If the reservation is erroneous, start-up by pressing button II is impossible; the remote control emits a triple signal and displays the zone that caused the procedure to be prohibited.
To use automatic start by timer, you need to simultaneously press keys II and IV; the Timer indicator on the display will turn on. The repetition frequency is programmed by configuring the processing unit. To perform a daily start at a given time, it is necessary to program the clock and timing of the starter. If the start after 2,4 or 8 hours is connected, then setting the timer and clock is not required. Starting based on temperature is not provided, since the design does not have a sensor that turns on the starter at a given temperature.
The driver limits the number of restarts using a programmable function. The mode allows you to perform 5, 7 and 16 starts. It is possible to remove the limit on the number of repetitions. The value of the function is determined based on operating conditions and the wishes of the owner.

Possible faults
Malfunctions of the Sherhan complex include the failure of the standard remote control. When the battery is low, the information icon on the display turns on; to install a new power source, you need to slide the cover, which is located on the back of the case. When installing a fresh battery, the polarity must be observed. Another source of problems is moisture that gets into electronic components and button mechanisms. The owner needs to disassemble and dry the device; damaged components may need to be replaced.
During the operation of a car alarm, the insulating layer of the patch cables is destroyed. The faulty area is searched using a test device or visually; to replace it, you need to install wiring of the appropriate cross-section. It is not recommended to use cables made of different materials (due to electrochemical corrosion).
If the shock sensor is installed and adjusted incorrectly, false alarms will occur. The driver can independently reduce the sensitivity of the warning and alarm zones or move the sensor to a rigid base. It is recommended to restore the components of the security system that are flooded with water in service centers; in case of irreversible damage, the components or the entire complex are replaced.
Anti-theft systems are constantly being improved, protecting your car from break-ins and theft.
This is a necessary security measure even for those drivers who leave their cars in garages or paid parking lots; even they do not always save them from theft.

How to set up a MOBICAR car alarm
The MOBICAR system implements modern developments in the field of car protection against theft. The package includes a compact control key fob, digital shock sensors, and a small processor unit. It’s not difficult to understand the setup, despite the large number of built-in functions.
Among the main functions that need to be configured in the MOBICAR car alarm are:
- car autostart;
- setting automatic alarm activation;
- sensitivity adjustment;
- turning the shock sensor on and off.
The first thing you should learn is to start and stop the car using the key fob. This is a convenient feature that allows you to warm up your car in winter while you are leaving the house. Or turn off the engine if you stay in the store for a long time, so as not to overheat the vehicle.
Setting up engine auto start
You can start the engine remotely from the key fob only in security mode. For a vehicle with a manual transmission, it is necessary to prepare for starting, for this:
- With the engine running and the doors closed, as well as the parking brake on and the brake pedal lowered, press button III of the key fob.
- If the car has an ignition switch, the key must be removed under the conditions described above. If there is a Start/Stop button, you do not need to press it.
- After the completed manipulations, get out of the car and press the security button (short press the I button).
To autostart Scher-Khan on this alarm model, you must press the following buttons:
- Long press on “III”, and an image of smoke will appear on the key fob, which means the engine will start.
- The autostart time countdown will begin; to restart it, briefly press the same button.
- To turn off the mode, hold III on the key fob until a beep sounds.
You can set the autostart time manually, and also select the mode to turn off the motor at a given temperature. For this:
Function | Sequence of button presses | How will the key fob or car react? |
Go to menu No. 1 to configure | With the engine off. |
hold I+IV
When setting the warm-up time, you need to take into account the climate mode, and you can also select the functions of morning and evening autostart. With such simple manipulations with the key fob, you can set any car to autostart. Do not forget that with a manual transmission it is necessary to carry out preliminary preparation according to the instructions described above.
Switching to car control after autostart
After performing a remote engine start, you should take control of the car into your own hands when you get to it. For this:
- press the brake pedal;
- disengage the standing brake;
- remove the automatic transmission from parking mode.
In this case, you do not need to press anything on the key fob. After performing one of the listed manipulations, you will hear a sound signal and one blink of the headlights, which indicates that autostart is disabled.
Possible errors when enabling the autorun function
If you do not meet the conditions for enabling autorun, the system will generate a number of errors that need to be eliminated. Among all the codes on the key fob there are:
- ER:01 – the engine is on, you need to turn off the car to continue the settings;
- 02 – ignition on: turn off and remove the key to continue working with the alarm;
- 03 – the door is open. When the doors are unlocked, the security mode does not turn on;
- 04 – hood open;
- 05 – not set to autostart due to lack of preparation in cars with manual transmission;
- 06 – standing brake is not engaged;
- 07 – brake pedal pressed;
- 08 – the motor does not work, it is worth starting the engine and continuing with the settings;
- 09 – trunk open;
- 10 – ignition is set incorrectly;
- 11 – 19 – there was an alarm.
If autostart of the car from the key fob does not work, check for these errors, as well as whether the alarm itself is installed correctly. The initial setup and installation should be carried out by a car service specialist in order to avoid disastrous consequences of device failure.
Important! To correctly and quickly set the autostart time or set up an alarm, carefully read the operating instructions, which describe in detail all the functions of the device.
Setting up autorun UNIVERSE
The UNIVERSE car security system is more modern than the previous version. It has voice control and a remote control system via GSM communication. To enable autorun:
- With the engine running and the parking brake raised, press and hold the # button.
- When the ignition support mode turns on, you should remove the keys from the lock and get out of the car.
- Put the car in security mode and press #, holding the button for at least 2 seconds.
This way you can start the car remotely.
It is more convenient to make all settings, including setting the engine operating time, through a mobile application, which is very easy to understand. There is also a function to disable autostart of the car.
