Car alarm Pandora DXL 3000: description, manual, reviews

Car alarm Pandora DXL 3000 - a new model of the security complex series DXL, brought the engineers of the company to a high level of quality and reliability. Intuitive operation ensures ease of use. The alarm system Pandora DXL 3000 is installed by specialists of service centers engaged in the sale and installation of car security systems. Car alarm Pandora is distinguished by a high level of reliability and resistance to burglary using coggrabbers, scanners and similar devices.

Keychain Pandora DXl 3000

An improved keychain with a liquid crystal screen attracts attention. The system, embodied in the key fob Pandora DXL 3000, is considered one of the most advanced to date. The developers brought certain innovations to the keyfob structure, returning the end position of the buttons, which improved the ergonomics of the presses and ensured the tightness of the case. The sound confirmation function of the press notifies the user about each key press of the Pandora DXL 3000 keyfob.

The LCD screen of the keyfob, being the most fragile part of it, is protected with a silicone damper. Such a protection technology was first used by developers when creating a radio transmitter for car alarms.

The damper protects the screen of the Pandora DXL 3000 alarm transmitter from shocks and extreme loads, while providing more accurate positioning of the indicator. The hermetic housing does not allow moisture, dust and dirt to penetrate inside, damaging the built-in chip. In conjunction with the alarm Pandora DXL 3000 comes a small leather case for the key fob, which for many car owners will be a pleasant surprise.

Key fob functions

Developers in the new version of car alarms have stored LED indicators that show the state of protection, which is a good and reasonable solution. The user can evaluate the efficiency of the two-way communication channel: the green indicator notifies the activation of the armed mode, the red indicator indicates the occurrence of a non-emergency situation or the need to switch the car into a security mode.

The main functions of car alarms

1. Interception of a radio signal, dialogue code, electronic protection against breaking.
2. Reception of the signal at large distances.
3. Automatic control of the communication channel.
4. An additional immobilizer that increases the protective functions of the car alarm Pandora DXL 3000.
5. 11 protected areas.
6. Double pin number.
7. Tilt and move sensors.

5. Receive / transmit module.
6. The Valet button.
7. Light indicators.
8. Limit switches.
9. Wiring harnesses.
10. Operating Instructions Pandora DXL 3000.

Features of car alarm system

The security complex Pandora DXL 3000 is equipped with an improved version of a multi-channel high-speed radio path. Changes affected the transition during the reception and transmission of the signal to free channels, the service and work channels were optimized, adjustments were made to the circuitry of the salon RF module. Such measures allowed to increase the range of the warning channel and the command channel, increased the stability of the system in conditions of interference.

Developers optimized the LCD keychain, lowering the level of power consumption and extending the life of the batteries. The only drawback to the changes was the incompatibility of keyfobs and RF modules of different models of alarms.

Coding algorithms

Signaling Pandora DXl 3000 differs cryptographic algorithms of dialog authorization. Electronic hacking of the car alarm is impossible due to the use of a complex coding algorithm and unique encryption keys. To date, Pandora car alarms are the only security systems that use interactive coding and two-way communication, not only in basic, but also in additional key fobs.

Basic unit

In the car alarm Pandora DXL 3000 was reworked the base unit, which is now equipped with extensive possibilities for programming timed channels. The main innovation is entering the PIN code for access to certain functions and options of the system.

According to the instruction, in Pandora DXL 3000 instead of one PIN-code two are used: Service-code and Master-code. With the help of the service code, you can put the system in maintenance mode or enter the programming mode and set up the security complex. This code is factory, so if desired, the user can change it. The Master-code system allows you to safely remove the car from the guard mode. The meaning of this code is indicated on the plastic card supplied with the car alarm system.

System Setup

In the complete set with the car alarm system the table of commands and the statuses which allow to adjust a security complex is delivered. This table shows the car code supported by the CAN bus and information including all the features of the integrated interface.

The programming of the car alarm system begins with the selection of the make and model of the vehicle and the specific settings of the digital CAN bus. In the "Settings" table the necessary parameters are selected, after which they are saved and recorded for further operation.

If the desired code can not be found in the table - it is entered manually. After the car code is selected, the system parameters are adjusted.

The maximum functionality of the car alarm is realized when the following items are resolved:

• Arming mode.
• Disarm mode.
• System management.
• Re-staging.

The car owner can additionally configure other system parameters. All settings are saved in a separate file, which is located in the root folder of the security complex and is available for moving or copying.

Car alarm installation

The installation of the security complex can be carried out both in the service centers and independently by the car owner. There are several ways to install a car alarm "Pandora" - under the dashboard, in the engine compartment or in the cabin or car body.

When installing the alarm in the engine compartment, the lock relay is located close to the ignition lock, and the shock sensor is attached to the steering column. For this, plastic clamps can be used to attach the main parts.

The control unit of the system when installing the car alarm under the dashboard is fixed in the engine compartment. A locking relay is attached between the ducts of the duct.

The third variant of installation of the car alarm means its installation in any place of salon or body of the car with an optimum arrangement of all accessories. The base unit is located either in the cabin or in the body of the car, but the siren is installed under the battery area. The end of the bonnet is attached next to the hood indicator on the right side, and the tailgate is mounted next to the lock. The system wiring is cleared after the alarm is installed.

Shock sensor installation

The impact sensors are installed last. The switch of the security complex - the button Valet - is located in such a way that it can not be seen, but at the same time access to it was free. At the same time, next to it, there should not be electronics, which can muffle the reception of the signal.

Connecting the car alarm to a personal computer

To the personal computer, the security complex is connected via mini-USB. The base unit of the system is connected to the PC using the Valet button, and the successful synchronization is confirmed by a light indicator.

After connecting the alarm to the computer, the LED starts to glow red-green. For normal synchronization of the complex with a PC, the software is required - Pandora DXL Loader. After the program is started, it is required to enter the service PIN code indicated on the card that comes with the alarm.

The code is entered by pressing the Valet key the required number of times corresponding to each digit of the pin code. The pause between button presses should not exceed one second. If this time is exceeded, such a pause is regarded as a transition to the introduction of the next digit.

The indicator of the block of the system notifies the end of the introduction of each digit and its reception with a red flash. Programming of the Pandora complex begins after all the code is entered, which is accompanied by a red and green flashes of the indicator.

Reviews of car owners

Signaling Pandora DXL 3000 is characterized by increased reliability, quality of performance and resistance to various methods of cracking with the help of coggrabbers and similar devices. In response, car owners note the high level of protection provided by the security complex, ease of installation, ease of configuration and programming of the system.
