The Recognised Name In Security
OTHER DOCUMENTATION
The Standard requires that the customer receives a copy of the Operating
Instruc
tions along with a copy of the Installation Certificate. Make sure that such
instructions are in the box with the product and then put them in the vehicle where
the owner will see them. Better still, partly fill out the warranty card or proof of
purchase f
or the customer and present it to them when giving a demonstration on
how the security system operates.
Mongoose products also include a ‘proof of purchase’. This is to be completed and
retained by the customer in the event of a warranty claim.
The Instal
lation Certificate must include the installer’s licence number where
appropriate. As all Standards Certified products must be fitted in accordance with
Part 2 of the Standard, all installers need to be accredited by the distributor of the
product or be a
member of the NZSA.
PIN CODE
Standards Certified models use a PIN code to override the system in the event of
loss, damage or non
-
operation of the remote controls.
Each system differs in the method of override and this information is in the owners
operato
r booklet.
They are supplied with a ‘card’ quoting the factory set PIN code. Ensure the
customer keeps this safe and in a place where they can find it, but in the vehicle
unless it is well hidden.
Mongoose does not record PIN codes.
If the card gets lost,
the PIN code may be printed on the inside of the system
module which can only be accessed by disassembling using a security TORX screw
driver.
Models like the M80 Series can be re
-
programmed with the customers own number.
This deletes the factory setting
and it cannot be defaulted back. Once re
-
programmed the factory setting is lost.
IMMOBILISER RELAYS
NZ Standards specify ‘normally open’ immobiliser relays. Essentially this means
that the relays are always open circuit unless the engine is running. In t
he disarmed
state, the ignition input closes the relays to allow the engine to be started and then
to run.
At all other times, they are open thereby immobilising the engine. Power or ground
removal just makes matters worse for a thief as power is needed t
o close the
relays to get the engine running.
The loss of power and/or ground whilst the engine is running will cause the engine
to stop. For this reason, Mongoose system have 2 separate ground wires (which
you connect to 2 different ground points) and at
least 3 power supplies :
-
main
power, ignition input (power taken off this input as a back
-
up) and power taken off at
least one of the circuits being immobilised. The chances of power or ground loss
whilst driving is therefore drastically reduced
–
providi
ng you do your installation
correctly.
