Installation instructions

Installation of the complex begins with the installation of the head unit, which is located in the vehicle interior. It is recommended to install the unit under the instrument panel cover; the housing is attached to the engine shield or steel frame using 2 screws. The manufacturer recommends choosing a mounting point located away from the air ducts; the unit is attached with the plugs down (to reduce the risk of condensation).

The siren is located in the engine compartment, the device is waterproof (category IP65), but to increase operational reliability it is recommended to tilt the horn down. Additionally, protection from heat and unauthorized access from the bottom of the machine is provided. An antenna unit and an owner call sensor are attached to the windshield. The cables are routed to the installation site of the head unit under the skins of the side pillars.

The shock sensor, based on the piezoelectric effect, is equipped with rotary sensitivity controls. The unit is mounted inside the car on a rigid metal base; when placing the unit on plastic casings, the likelihood of incorrect operation of the product increases. Access to the regulators should be provided, since adjustment of parameters will be required during setup and further use of the security complex.

After completing the installation work, the units are connected using cable harnesses with parallel connection of the devices to the standard controllers and the vehicle’s electrical network. When connecting the central locking unit, the polarity of the control signal must be taken into account. The connecting harnesses are equipped with fuses that protect the products from short circuits. Connection methods and ratings of fuse links are given in the wiring diagrams (attached to the operating instructions).

Sherkhan keychain compatibility table

The following designations are used in the compatibility table:

• R - native alarm communicator;
• P - full device compatibility;
• P - partial compatibility;
• N - communicators are incompatible.

Compatibility features of Sherkhan keychains

Interchangeability of remote controls:

1. Using the key fob for the Magikar 4 model on the version 3 alarm system will allow you to use all the protective functionality. However, using the car's auto start function will not be possible. This is due to the fact that this operating mode is absent in early Sherkhan models.
2. If your car is equipped with a Magikar 6 alarm system, then a communicator from the fifth version of the system is suitable for controlling it.
3. The Magicar 5 anti-theft complex can be used if you buy a key fob from the Magicar 7 and 6 models.
4. To control the alarm system of the seventh version, it is possible to use the Magikar 8 system. However, this will lead to the fact that the successful reservation of the autostart function will not be displayed on the device display. Also, with such replaceability, the user must clarify the encoding of the communicator.

Alarm remotes Sherkhan Magikar 13 and 14 are fully compatible with each other.

But communicators from other modern versions (released after Magikar 10) are not interchangeable. This is due to the fact that new systems use a unique signal encryption technology that uses the serial number of the remote control.
