Reviews on Pandora 5000 confirm the reliability of the supported connection. Owners say that with this alarm your car becomes unreachable for intruders. Pandora 5000 takes care of personal safety. Every car owner can afford this modern security complex. Judging by the reviews, the installation of the Pandora 5000 is carried out on absolutely any car.

Full support for the CAN-bus of the car is an important feature of the alarm management unit. In modern machines, this function is considered standard and represents a network that unites all systems and sensors, which provides the necessary commands to the equipment, diagnoses it and collects information from sensors. The reliable operation of the car alarm is provided by the effective support of the CAN bus.

The Pandora DXL 5000 GSM GPS system supports about half a thousand different CAN-protocols from three hundred different cars. Streaming mode car alarm uses when connecting to the 50 most heaped and modern models of cars, thanks to which it is possible to get more information from the bus, including the level of fuel in the tank, and use a wider functionality.

RF module

After installing Pandora 5000, communication between individual units is supported by a complete RF module. The transceiver works with signals at 2.4 GHz and with multi-channel radio interference-protected, supports Hands Free mode, individual remote control tags and includes two anti-robber algorithms. Connect to it can be up to three additional radio relay, complete with sound and light annunciators.

Dialog code

Radio communication between the alarm and key fobs Pandora 5000 is carried out using a proprietary system - a dialogue code. The principle of operation of this system is to check the signaling of the received signal: it must correspond to the signal from the native key fob, and not from the third party. Implemented all this in interactive mode: the keyfob receives a signal, in response to which the system sends a random number in the form of a query that, after processing by a certain algorithm, is sent back from the key fob. The result is checked by the Pandora DXL 5000 New alarm, and if it matches the original, the remote control receives a confirmation signal.

A huge advantage of the interactive signal used in car alarms is the impossibility of hacking. And Pandora DXL 5000 New, and similar to her security systems can not be hacked by code grabbers and other devices. Signaling units are interconnected by a wireless channel with 128-bit encryption based on the AES algorithm.

GPS / GLONASS receiver

Installation of a reliable and sensitive module operating in the temperature range from -40 to +85 degrees allows the system to track the position of the car with additional functions. It consumes in a tracking mode of 40 mA, during a cold start, the consumption rises to 60 mA. Hot start module takes no more than 10 seconds. The receiver perfectly copes with its function of tracking the position of the car via satellite communication and stores tracks in the memory of the system.

The GPS / GLONASS tracking function can hardly surprise anyone today: many signaling systems are equipped with similar modules, however in Pandora DXL 5000 its functionality is realized most fully. Tracks tracked by the vehicle's travel system are stored on remote servers, and the user has access to them through P-On or iPhone's proprietary service.

Radio relay blocking

The compact part of the Pandora 5000 system is an IS-122 lockout relay with dimensions of 66 x 54 x 18 mm, which is easily placed in the car's interior and is hidden from prying eyes. It implements the AES encryption system and the dynamic control code.

Complete with instructions to Pandora 5000 is an individual user card, which shows the individual PIN-code, through which the emergency unlocking of the system. To do this, you need to use the VALET button and the data necessary for authorization on the P-On service.

Alarm Keyrings

In the complete set with a security complex the basic key ring with the liquid crystal display, the additional key ring and marks of the immobilizer is delivered. In the Hands Free mode, the system is locked and unlocked with these tags: it is sufficient to approach a certain distance to the car so that the system will read the signal and act to open or arm the system.

The remote control with a liquid crystal display is equipped with a wide range of functions: 16 ringing tones, simultaneous monitoring of 12 zones, changing the sensitivity of sensors, synchronizing the clock with GPS, determining the battery charge level and engine temperature.

Allows you to listen to the car's interior microphone, which comes complete with the alarm Pandora 5000. Installing it - the process is simple. It is installed on the regular mounts. You can connect to microphones using a standard phone call. This is done thanks to the GSM module integrated in the alarm control unit. The functionality of the security complex allows you to make calls to the numbers in the device memory in automatic mode.

Module RHM-02

The wireless under-hood module is an innovative solution of the Pandora 5000, the installation of which allows seamlessly connecting and synchronizing the elements of the security complex and greatly facilitates the installation of the system.

To the Pandora RHM-02 module, all electrical circuits and system parts are connected, it is directly connected to the car alarm control unit via a multi-channel radio interface.

The module supports a large number of functions: it monitors the trunk and bonnet end parts, engine temperature sensors, siren, tachometer signals, which is especially useful and effective for those cars whose tachos are taken from the ignition system or fuel injectors. Due to the built-in code module, it is possible to connect additional devices. For example, the lock control module or the lock relay.

The channel between the base unit and the module is controlled by the automatic radio system RHM-02. If the communication with the sub-jack module is lost, the car owner will be notified via SMS message.

Accelerometer work algorithms

The three-coordinate accelerometer integrated into the system in car security systems is used for the first time. Previously, the alarms used impact sensors based on the piezo- or microphone principle of operation and had many drawbacks: too much power consumption, large size, no remote monitoring and shutdown for the duration of the turbo timer or the autorun mode.

The digital interface of the accelerometer was created by STMicroelectronics. Today it is installed in modern smartphones, for example, in the iPhone. In the base unit of the system, a 32-bit microcontroller is installed, which processes signals at an increased clock frequency, quickly and unmistakably detects impacts, inclinations, accidents and vehicle movement. The sensitivity of the accelerometer is enough to fix the slow lifting of the car on the jack.

The security complex when a car crashes into an accident automatically detects an accident and notifies the nearby car owner that he was in trouble sending the coordinates of the vehicle.
