Congratulations on the purchase of the new model VISION car alarm, with this purchase you have token a great step forward towards the protection of your investment as well as providing you with peace of mind to the security of your vehicle.
The VAE 318-1800 is a very comprehensive vehicle protection system. It activeates/deactives the alarm system by a code hopping remote signal transmitter, automatically locks/unlocks the vehicle's central locking system (if fitted) immobilizes the engine when armed with several sectors protection. Every sector is self diagnostic which means that if any problem arises, the alarm will emit a series of audible chirps pin pointing the problem.
In the following pages includes Operating Instruction and Diagnostic Instruction please follow the instruction described and make sure every function is operated correctly.
With the purchase of your new alarm you have included
2 x Code hopping
2 channel transmitter
1x Module
1x Wiring
1 x Hardware kit
1 x Operating / Installation manual
Operating the transmitter is a hopping code designed transmitter, each time is pressed, it will randomly transmit a different code, this prevent disarming the alarm system by coping the code and retransmitting the same code.
Three noticeable features.
NOTE: To replace batteries in the transmitter, remove the Phillips head screws on the under side of the transmitter, gently raise the face cover from the bottom cover, take out old batteries and replace with new one ensuring correct polarity.
Never wet or submerge transmitter in water, as this will invalidate warranty.

The system is connected by wires linked to the vehicles door, bonnet, boot & ignition key switch. Once the alarm is armed the systems intelligent management will monitor these sectors to protect your vehicle.
Please refer to the Protection Sector as follows :
The door sector is very important sector, this protects unauthorized entry and also controls other functions such as last door auto arming, re-arming.
The hood and boot are protected by pin switches installed, once the alarm is armed any entry will trigger the system.
The system provides additional sectors which optional tensors such as dual zone microwave detectors or dual zone shock sensor which can be added to the system.
This is final protection of the system if all other sectors are invalid. If the would be thief turns on the ignition switch, the alarm will trigger.
If when arming there is a series of chirps this mean that a protected sector is not closed or is faulty. Please refer to the Error chirp & Error Sector Isolation Table.
The system also incorporates a memory facility that records which sector has been triggered. Please refer to the Trigger Report Table.
Note : If a sector received three triggers this sector will be switched off.
If when arming the system by pressing the transmitter the system emit a series of chirps, this means that a protected sector is open or is at fault. Please refer to the table below.
Error Chirps | SECTOR OPEN / FAULTY |
---|---|
1 CHIRP | DOOR |
2 CHIRPS | HOOD/ TRUNK |
4 CHIRPS | OPTIONAL SENSORS |
5 CHIRPS | IGNITION (HOT WIRE) |
Note : If you can not eliminated the error sector, the system will isolate this sector. All other sector will operate as normal.
