1. Introduzione è Overview
The Compustar ALARM IT KIT is an essential add-on for compatible Compustar remote start systems, designed to significantly enhance vehicle security.
It features a Dual-Axis Sensor (DAS) that provides two stages of impact detection, a tilt sensor to identify towing attempts or tire theft, and a built-in accelerometer for manual transmission safety. The system also includes a high-decibel siren and a visible Compustar-Blue LED deterrent.
2. Caratteristiche di u produttu
- Dual-Axis Sensor (DAS): Detects two stages of impact, triggering the alarm and alerting the user via 2-way LCD remote or DroneMobile.
- Sensore d'inclinazione: Notifies the user if the vehicle is being towed or if tires are being stolen.
- Accelerometru integratu: Enhances safety for manual transmission vehicles by immediately stopping the vehicle if remote started while in gear.
- High-Decibel 6-Tone Siren: Provides a loud audible deterrent upon alarm activation.
- Compustar-Blue LED: A visible deterrent indicating the vehicle is protected.
- Cumpatibilità: Designed to integrate with Compustar FT-7200S-CONT remote start systems.
3. Setup è Installazione
Installation of the ALARM IT KIT requires integration with an existing or new Compustar remote start system. Due to the complexity of vehicle security systems and the need for specific system flashing, professional installation by an authorized Compustar dealer is highly recommended.
Considerazioni impurtanti:
- This kit is compatible with CompuStar FT-7200S-CONT remote start systems. Verify compatibility with your specific system before installation.
- The remote start system will likely require a firmware update or "flashing" to recognize and properly integrate the ALARM IT KIT. This process typically requires specialized tools and software available to authorized installers.
- Ensure all wiring connections are secure and properly insulated to prevent electrical issues.

4. Operating Instructions
Once properly installed and configured, the ALARM IT KIT operates in conjunction with your Compustar remote start system to provide enhanced security.
- Arming the System: The alarm system typically arms automatically when you lock your vehicle using your Compustar remote or the vehicle's factory remote (if integrated).
- Rilevamentu di l'impattu: If the DAS sensor detects an impact, the siren will sound, and an alert will be sent to your 2-way LCD remote or DroneMobile app (if equipped).
- Rilevazione di l'inclinazione: If the vehicle's angle changes significantly (e.g., during towing or jacking), the tilt sensor will trigger the alarm and send an alert.
- Manual Transmission Safety: For manual transmission vehicles, the built-in accelerometer acts as a safety mechanism. If the vehicle is remote started while left in gear, the system is designed to immediately shut down the engine to prevent unintended movement.
- Visual Deterrent: The Compustar-Blue LED will flash when the system is armed, serving as a visual warning to potential thieves.
5. Mantenimentu
The Compustar ALARM IT KIT is designed for low maintenance. To ensure optimal performance and longevity:
- Keep the main module and siren free from excessive dirt, dust, and moisture.
- Periodically check all visible wiring connections for any signs of wear or looseness.
- Avoid exposing the components to extreme temperatures outside of normal vehicle operating conditions.
- Do not attempt to open or modify the sealed components, as this may void any applicable warranty.
