Ampire CAN 3901 Alarm System

ORDERING INFORMATION
This alarm system is delivered without software as standard. During checkout, please provide us with the exact car make, model, and year of manufacture in the comments section, and indicate whether the vehicle has keyless entry. We will then install the appropriate software onto the system free of charge.

Don't forgo a necessary alarm system in your vehicle due to installation complexity. Ampire CAN bus alarm systems are armed and supplied with all alarm-specific information via the vehicle's CAN data bus of the comfort electronics, resulting in significantly lower installation costs compared to conventional systems. Furthermore, Ampire CAN bus alarm systems also automatically control the turn signals and comfort locking system, if supported by the vehicle. Unlike most cheaper CAN bus alarm systems on the market, Ampire CAN bus alarm systems can not only read information from the data bus, but also write commands.

FEATURES
- Arming/disarming only with the original factory remote controls or comfort key
- No disarming by forcing the door or trunk lock
- Flashing LED with integrated service button allows for diagnostics, operation, and programming
- Integrated 2-stage shock sensor with pre-warning alerts in case of break-ins or parking bumps
- No false alarms with remote trunk opening or activated auxiliary heater/remote engine start
- Emergency disarming and service mode possible at any time and safely in case of a defective remote control
- Includes high-current immobilizer relay for reliable starter interruption

ALARM ZONES
The Ampire CAN bus alarm system secures your The vehicle is optimally protected by 6 separate alarm zones. The anti-false alarm function automatically deactivates individual zones in case of a malfunction. The long-term memory allows you to retrieve the two alarm zones that most recently triggered an alarm at any time.
- Alarm Zone 1: Triggered when the hood/trunk is opened (via CAN)
- Alarm Zone 2: Triggered by strong impacts via the integrated shock sensor (sensitivity adjustable)
- Alarm Zone 3: Triggered when the doors are opened (via CAN)
- Alarm Zone 4: Triggered via optional sensor (analog)
- Alarm Zone 5: Triggered when the ignition is switched on (via CAN)
- Alarm Zone 6: Triggered via optional alarm contact (analog)
Pre-warnings caused by minor impacts (via the integrated shock sensor) or by the optional sensor are not deactivated as alarm zones.

SIREN
This ultra-compact 514LN siren with a ferrite magnet is the best and loudest siren in our range with a sound pressure level of 121 dB. The splash-proof siren has 6 different siren tones that are played sequentially, changing every 5 seconds. The alarm duration is factory preset to 30 seconds and can be extended to 60 seconds by the user.
- Sound pressure level (SPL): 121dB (1 meter distance)
- Magnet material: Ferrite
- Current draw during alarm: 1200mA
- Number of different siren tones: adjustable 6 (different) or 1 (constant)
- Alarm duration: adjustable 30/60 seconds
- Siren chirp volume: adjustable ("Quiet", "Loud", and "Off")
- Siren dimensions: 84x83x72mm

OUTPUTS
- Immobilizer relay "FailSafe" included (15A load capacity)
- Analog alarm output (200mA load capacity), for the vehicle horn or an optional GPS tracking system
- Analog turn signal/parking light output (200mA load capacity), if cannot be controlled via CAN bus
- Analog AUX channel for controlling optional accessories (200mA load capacity) when the remote control's lock button is pressed twice. - Analog arming output (500mA load capacity) for controlling optional accessories.

FIRMWARE INFORMATION
These CAN bus alarm systems are delivered without vehicle-specific firmware. Because the alarm systems can read and write on the data bus, the firmware is significantly more complex and must first be programmed using the XKLOADER2 or XKLOADER3 programming device. We would be happy to install the appropriate firmware for you free of charge. When placing your order, please specify the exact vehicle type and year of manufacture. It is also important to know if the vehicle has a smart key (comfort access). Further information and the latest firmware for your vehicle can also be found at: www.directechs.com (in English).

SETTINGS
The most important operating settings can be changed using the service button integrated into the LED. This can be done faster and more comprehensively with the optionally available "Bitwriter" programming device. It can be easily plugged into the serial "ESP" interface. This allows you to enter a code into the alarm system or lock the settings to prevent unauthorized access. We recommend installing the optionally available Bitwriter cable in every vehicle.

LEGAL NOTICE
We recommend activating the siren tones when arming/disarming (menu items 1-2). This provides you, as the user of the alarm system, with audible notifications about the system's status. You will be informed by quiet siren tones (siren chirps) whether the alarm system has been armed successfully. An audible error message (siren chirps) would immediately indicate an open door, a tampered alarm sensor, etc. However, this type of siren chirp is not permitted within the EU. EU regulations only permit a continuous siren tone lasting less than 30 seconds after a break-in.

THATCHAM INSURANCE CERTIFICATION
In combination with a 515M backup siren and a US509 indoor sensor, this alarm system has been certified in the following classes by the Thatcham Certified:
Vehicle Category 2 classified as Category 2-1 alarm system
Vehicle Category 3 classified as Category L2-1 alarm system
Certificates issued by Thatcham.org can be found under the "Download" tab.

FIRMWARE UPLOAD NOTE
Please use only Microsoft Internet Explorer with XpressVIP 4.3 (ActiveX) software to upload the firmware to the CAN3901V alarm system. Other browsers are not automatically supported, and errors may occur.

INSTALLATION NOTE
The optional MS508 radar sensor cannot be directly connected to the 4-pin sensor socket of the CAN3901. The MS508's power consumption is too high. Connect the MS508's power leads directly to a constant 12V supply and the "ground when armed" output.

EQUIPMENT NOTE
Depending on the vehicle type and equipment, additional costs for installation, adaptations, and data bus modules may apply if you wish to control and remotely start the vehicle.
