Installation instructions for MS Stalker MSP-600

Programming the parameters of the remote and automatic start
The engine warm-up time is programmable and can be set to 10 or 20 minutes (section 5.2.4 of the programming table). For the automatic start mode, the start frequency is programmed (section 2.1). The time interval is counted from the moment of arming or from the moment
previous engine stop (except for 24-hour intervals). For diesel engines, there is a delay of 10 seconds for starting the starter after the ignition is applied. for the purpose of warming up the spark plugs, as well as increased starter operating time (clauses 5.2.3. and 5.2.5). It is also possible to use a temperature sensor built into the main unit (clause 5.2.8) or an external sensor/timer (clause 5.8.5 or 5.8.6). For a built-in sensor, the threshold value is changed by installing a jumper in the main unit (see p. 3).

2.8.3. Starting and stopping the engine
If automatic engine warm-up is enabled and the temperature sensor is disabled (clause 5.2.8.1), then the complex at set intervals (1, 2, 3, 4 or 24
hour) will start the engine. First, the operation of the shock sensor and the external zone of the microwave sensor is prohibited, the relay is turned on, supplying voltage to the 1st group of consumers (ignition, instrument panel, fuel pump, solenoid valve fuel injection pump and diesel preheating plugs), and the engine blocking is removed. After 1 sec (after 10 sec for diesel engine) the starter turns on. If the engine does not start, the attempt is repeated after 15 seconds. A total of three starting attempts are possible, and the first time the starter is turned on for 1 second, the second time for 2 seconds, the third time for
3 sec. (for diesel 2, 4, 6 sec.) clause 5.2.5.1. Startup attempts can be performed in reverse order of duration in paragraph 5.2.5.2. If the attempts are exhausted, the next autostart is possible only after disarming/arming. If the built-in temperature sensor is turned on (clause 5.2.8.2) and the temperature exceeds
threshold, then the next start cycle is skipped. During engine operation, the complex gives light signals for the first 40s and the last 40s with a frequency of 1 time in 4 seconds, the rest of the time with a frequency of 1 time in 30 seconds. To inform the owner about the results of engine starting, a
a special signal that is transmitted through the MS pager.
After starting the engine, the relay of the 2nd group of consumers is turned on.
To control the launch, an additional service input X5/1 WHITE can also be used (programming section 5.8). When installing clause 5.8.5
the negative potential from the temperature sensor at the service input allows the next start of the engine if, after arming or the previous start, the time specified in clause 2.1 has passed. At the end of the engine operation, the built-in timer of the complex begins counting a new time interval. If a 24-hour launch period is set using the built-in timer (clause 2.1.7), then this mode does not work. When clause 5.8.6 is set, any voltage drop from an external timer at the service input causes the engine to start, regardless of the settings in clause 2.1. The duration of the external timer pulse should not exceed the engine operating time set in paragraph 5.2.4. To cancel the mode, program paragraph 2.1.1.
If the contact zone is violated, the engine turns off and alarms begin to sound.

Engine locks
To block the engine, you can use the relay built into the main unit, the contacts of which are connected to connector X2 and can switch current up to 5A.
The switching conditions for the blocking relay are determined by programming in paragraph 5.1.1. When installing clause 5.1.1.1 (option 1, factory setting), the blocking relay
turns on when disarming, normally open contacts X2/5 and X2/4 close. In this case, the current consumed by the complex increases to 100 mA, which, if the DISARMED state is prolonged and the engine is not running, can lead to battery discharge. When setting clause 5.1.1.2 (option 2) in the DISARMED state, the relay turns on when the ignition is turned on. When setting clause 5.1.1.3 (option 3), the relay turns on when the ignition is turned on in the ARMED state. Normally closed contacts X2/5 and X2/6 in this case open the blocked circuit, preventing the engine from starting. If the ignition is not turned on, the blocked circuit is in its normal state. With all options for the duration of remote or automatic start
When the car is protected, the lock is removed. Additional locks can be implemented using immobilizers MS RL and (or) MS RIL, repeating the specified options 1 or 2.
In paragraph 5.1.3, you can set the delay of their operation relative to the built-in relay when the blocking is turned on (correspondingly, the advance is turned off).
ATTENTION! Immobilizers MS RL and MS RIL are configured to a specific PIN code of the complex Stalker, which they remember when changing
PIN code of the complex.

The appearance of the key fob, which famous designers worked on, is a visualization of the style, elegance and dynamism inherent in modern SUVs or business class cars. The combination of a black glossy key fob body, chrome trim and a large glass surface of an informative LCD display, correspond to the aesthetics of modern expensive car. Metal parts were added to the design of the keychain, which made it more durable. The display has a bright white backlight; the symbols on the display are clearly visible in any weather.

The anti-robbery tag now works with the same transceiver as the key fob and has narrowband radio channel. This solution ensures reliable operation of the tag in the complex noise environment of modern megacities. The control and warning range has noticeably increased and the Stalker-600LAN3 key fob itself. The main block of the system also underwent structural changes, which had a very positive effect on the ease and time of installation of the new Stalker in the car.

The tilt and motion sensor that Magic Systems introduced to the market several years ago is now integrated into the main unit. The new integrated sensor detects light impact, strong impact, tilt, and movement. The sensor is made using MEMS technology, combining microelectronic and micromechanical components, and special mathematical processing algorithms developed by Magic Systems engineers prevent false alarms . Consumption of the main unit of the system managed to reduce several times due to the new element base and energy-saving algorithms.

Stalker-600LAN3 in “security” mode consumes only 3 mAh! Light signaling control is implemented on field effect transistors, now the light alarm operates silently, which makes it impossible to detect the Stalker unit by relay clicks. The wishes of our customers were taken into account, resulting in Stalker-600LAN3 acquired a number of new functions: The hood lock is unlocked when disarming only if there is an anti-burglary tag in the radio visibility zone. The list of unique channel functions has been expanded (closing the hatch when arming has been added, etc.). Each of the 6 channels incl. power (relay output) can perform universal functions. Now you can easily organize, for example, remote unlocking of the trunk.

The list of events that can trigger each channel has been expanded, and new durations and pauses have been added. Installing an automatic and remote start system has become much easier. New mini launcher MS-A4, operating via a LAN bus, can be located near the steering column, where there are many wires for connecting the autostart system. And the location of the main Stalker unit can only be influenced by the design of the car and the installer’s imagination.

The diagnostic range test for the Stalker 600 alarm communicator is presented in a video from the “SibAlarm” channel.

Installation Features

Installation of the Stalker 600 alarm system should only be carried out on a car with the battery power turned off.

The installation algorithm looks like this:

1. With the ignition and electrical equipment turned off, the control unit is installed. Its installation is carried out secretly, in a place not exposed to moisture, high temperatures and other external influences. The module is fixed on a flat surface using self-tapping screws or double-sided tape. The block should be placed with the block facing down to prevent moisture from getting inside through the wires.
2. The siren is placed under the hood of the car. There should be no cylinder head, intake manifold, or moving parts near the device. The device is placed with the horn down to prevent moisture from accumulating in it. The wires are routed into the car interior. Connections in engine compartment are not allowed, since the contacts may oxidize.
3. The shock sensor and additional controllers are installed inside the car. A flat metal surface is used to fix them. The wires are routed to the control unit under the cladding.
4. The transceiver module is located on the front or rear window, as high as possible. This will ensure maximum quality when receiving and transmitting signals. The surface must first be cleaned and degreased. Metal objects and electronic devices are not allowed near the transceiver module.
5. Limit switches are installed on the hood and trunk. Their installation is carried out on a flat metal surface, away from drains. If you purchased switches for doors, then they also need to be installed. In any case, the devices should not be visible when the hood and trunk are closed.

2. Enters the setup and programming menu.
3. The protection mode activation button is pressed and held for two seconds. After “clicking” on the first key LED indicator should fire with a long flash. This indicates successful device pairing.
4. The rest of the communicators are registered in the control unit’s memory in a similar manner. Microprocessor module in total allows you to link up to five remote controls. When attempting to program the sixth device, information about the first recorded communicator will be deleted from the control unit’s memory.

Key fob programming

New functions can be registered in accordance with the parameters specified in the table:

Setting up autorun

Before implementing the autorun settings, you need to perform the following steps:

1. The first step is to turn the toggle switch to the activated position. The alarm is equipped with a push-button switch; its location must be checked with the installer if the installation was not carried out independently. The lever must be moved to the upper position.
2. On vehicles with manual transmission The gear selector is set to neutral mode. If the car is equipped with an automatic transmission, then you need to turn on “Parking”. You need to lift the lever hand brake and place chocks under the wheels if they are weak and do not allow you to fix the car in place.
3. The engine must be running all this time. The key is now turned in the lock to turn off the ignition, and then removed from the lock. If the vehicle is equipped automatic transmission, then the motor will stop on its own, if it’s mechanical, it will continue to work. The alarm will send an audio message to the remote control to warn the car owner that it is ready for auto start.
4. Within one minute, the driver must leave the vehicle and lock all door locks. Security mode is also activated. If the car is equipped with a manual transmission, then after these steps the engine will stop.

User Nikola Vogel spoke about the features of engine auto-start using Stalker 600 alarm systems.

By temperature

Setting the “by temperature” option looks like this:

1. The user enters the option programming menu using the first button. If its value was originally changed, then the corresponding key is applied.
2. You enter the autorun mode settings - submenu 5.2.
3. The temperature controller parameters are selected. This is only possible if the appropriate sensor is installed in the vehicle. You need to go to submenu 5.2.8.
4. A function is selected; if it is in 5.2.8.1, the option is disabled. The temperature threshold of -10 degrees is set by moving the cursor to submenu 5.2.8.2. If it is necessary to reduce the parameter to -15, set function 5.2.8.3, etc.
5. The option selection is confirmed and the programming menu can be exited.

By time

The time setting is carried out as follows:

1. The user enters the key fob programming menu.
2. The engine autostart function is selected. The cursor must be moved to the position of function 2.1.
3. The time settings are being changed. Options 2.1.3 will allow you to run power unit hourly, 2.1.4 - every 2 hours, 2.1.5 - every 3 hours, etc.
4. The specified parameters are selected. You can exit the programming menu.

If the preparation of the engine for autostart was completed successfully, the power unit will start under the specified conditions.

Emergency management

Activation of the security mode in the event of loss or breakdown of the communicator is done as follows:

1. Press the I key on the code switch twice.
2. Button II is briefly “clicked” once.
3. The driver leaves the vehicle. All door locks, hood and trunk are lockable.
4. After 15 seconds, the alarm will automatically diagnose the state of the security zones. The protection mode will be activated.

To disarm security without a remote control, perform the following steps:

1. The car doors are opened with a key. The alarm will turn on and the siren will start sounding.
2. The key is inserted into the lock and the ignition is activated. Alarms will be temporarily disabled.
3. The password is entered using the code switch.
4. If the code is successfully accepted by the control unit, the alarm will turn off and unlock all locks. LED light bulb will stop flickering.

Why doesn't the key fob see the car?

Reasons why the communicator cannot synchronize with the alarm control unit:

1. The battery in the remote control is low. If the power supply goes down, this may affect the remote control's communications. At first the signal will deteriorate and then disappear altogether. To fix the problem, the battery must be changed. The back cover of the communicator is removed and the battery is inserted into the free compartment, taking into account the polarity.
2. Incorrect installation of the antenna module. If the device is located close to metal parts or electronic devices, the connection quality will be poor. You need to reinstall the transceiver unit to another location.
3. Failure of the antenna or damage to its wire. If the device breaks down, the problem can only be solved by replacing it. You can determine a damaged electrical circuit using visual diagnostics; if this does not help, use a multimeter. If the cable insulation is damaged, the signal quality will also decrease. A bad wire must be replaced.
4. The vehicle is in the interference zone. This often happens in large cities, near transformer substations, as well as manufacturing plants. The car owner needs to either wait until the interference disappears on its own, or rearrange vehicle to another place.
5. The communicator is broken. If you suspect that the key fob is faulty, you should try to control the alarm with a spare remote control. To determine the cause of the failure, detailed diagnostics will be required. You can unscrew the device case yourself and check the integrity of its circuitry. The user can re-solder faulty or worn contacts on the buttons with his own hands, but changing the firmware should be entrusted to specialists.
6. Malfunctions in the operation of the control unit. Communication may be lost if the microprocessor module is exposed to moisture. To fix the problem, the device can be disassembled and dried in a dry place, but not near a stove, under ultraviolet rays or a household hair dryer. It is possible that the contacts on the module block have oxidized, then the connector will need to be cleaned. Reflashing the device will allow you to fix the software problem, but it is better to entrust this procedure to specialists.
7. Bad weather conditions. Sometimes the signal from the communicator is “lost” in strong winds, thunderstorms and rain. You need to bring the key fob as close to the car as possible to control the alarm.

The BREACH CAR channel presented the results of testing the range of the Stalker 600 alarm key fob in its video.

The appearance of the key fob, which famous designers worked on, is a visualization of the style, elegance and dynamism inherent in modern SUVs or business class cars. The combination of a glossy black key fob body, chrome trim and a large glass surface of an informative LCD display corresponds to the aesthetics of a modern expensive car.

Metal parts were added to the design of the keychain, which made it more durable. The display has a bright white backlight; the symbols on the display are clearly visible in any weather.

The anti-robbery tag now works with the same transceiver as the key fob and has a narrowband radio channel. This solution ensures reliable operation of the tag in the complex noise environment of modern megacities. The control and notification range of the Stalker-600LAN3 key fob itself has noticeably increased.

The main block of the system also underwent structural changes, which had a very positive effect on the ease and time of installation of the new Stalker in the car. The tilt and motion sensor that Magic Systems introduced to the market several years ago is now integrated into the main unit. The new integrated sensor detects light impact, strong impact, tilt, and movement.

The control of the light alarm is implemented using field-effect transistors; now the light alarm operates silently, which prevents the Stalker unit from being detected by relay clicks.

The wishes of our customers were taken into account, as a result Stalker-600LAN3 acquired a number of new functions:

- The list of events that can be triggered by each channel has been expanded, new durations and pauses have been added.
- Installing an automatic and remote start system has become much easier. The new miniature MS-A4 starting unit, operating via a LAN bus, can be located near the steering column, where there are many wires for connecting the autostart system. And the location of the main Stalker unit can only be influenced by the design of the car and the imagination of the installer.

The Stalker-600 car alarm system from MagicSystems is one of the less common digital anti-theft system products on the domestic market. It is aimed at working with digital blocking relays. Unlike a standard relay, a digital relay is assigned a unique code. Switching is triggered after the encoded signal arrives. In this case, the number of installed relays is not limited. In addition, the Stalker 600 alarm system includes a digital bus designed to connect 10 peripheral devices.

Alarm Stalker

Radio channel analysis

The developer has provided a control key fob for the alarm. This is not a simple device that most security alarms come with today. automotive systems. A special mode for determining the owner is used here, namely dialog. The point is this. In the standard system, the central control unit carries out the assigned tasks by receiving a signal sent from the key fob with its own distinctive code. In interactive mode, the situation is slightly different. The main unit, having received its signal from the key fob, double-checks whether this is actually the case and sends an additional question. Having received the correct answer, it executes the command.

As for the radio signal flow, it should be noted that a special encoding system is used here. To speed up the signal, special transceivers are used, which reduce the signal transmission time.

In addition, a special signal transmission system is used, which protects it from interference and increases the operating range. These benefits will be primarily appreciated by residents of large cities. If a car is parked in a large parking lot, for example, near a hypermarket, then in order for the car to respond to the signal, you often have to approach almost closely. This is due to the fact that many owners can simultaneously send signals to their cars. Thus, the airwaves become clogged, the signals overlap each other, and the receiver does not receive them.

Some car alarm developers simply increase the power level of the transmitted signal, which in fact only complicates the overall situation. However, MS saw a way out of this situation in a different direction. They created unique receivers and transmitters that operate at a special frequency, slightly removed from the central, busiest one. Thus, broadcasting is carried out within permitted limits, and the range of the sent signal increases significantly.

There is one more additional function in this alarm. If the owner has lost the key fob or for some reason it has become faulty, then it is necessary to open the car with the key, resort to using the Valet button and, perhaps, live in this mode for several more days until he acquires a new key fob. As for the Stalker system, you won’t find the Valet button here. Instead, there is a code dialer consisting of two buttons. It allows you not only to turn off the system, but also to fully use all its functions, despite the fact that the PIN code consists of three values.

The developers also did their best with regard to the system's power supplies. The alarm system has an autonomous source, which allows the owner to send a signal to the pager when the main one is turned off, thereby increasing the level of safety of the car.

Installation in a car

The unit is designed taking into account all the necessary ports and connectors. There is no point in considering everything. Among other things, it is possible to manipulate auxiliary devices, for which there are 5 channels that can be programmed to suit your needs.

A remote and automatic start system is also provided in this model. It is implemented in two ways. The first of them is through the use of personal control channels. This option consumes 3 of the 5 free channels. Thus, only two channels remain to implement the connection of service functions. You can try to connect the blocks via a digital bus, which is quite realistic. But if a larger number of free channels is needed, it is possible to mount the MS-A2 launch module, which is of an analog type, which allows you to occupy one free channel.

System differences

There are several types of the Stalker system. According to the developers, the Light version is a lightweight version of the Stalker-600NB model, which occupies a leading position in the industry of car alarms with two-way broadcasting. The lightweight version was developed as a budget option, but at the same time retained best sides original version.

As for the relief itself, the first thing you should pay attention to is the price. The difference with the original is about 3,000 rubles. Identical functions can be observed in both systems.

In terms of configuration, the lightweight version differs in the immobilizer. It simply isn’t there, but if particularly necessary, you can always purchase it separately.

Each version requires an individual selection of the necessary components. A serious approach to this issue will ensure high level anti-theft protection and acceptable comfort for the owners of this system. What should you choose?

Anti-theft security

The MS-RL engine blocking system with a digital relay, which is located under the hood, is suitable here. The relay is controlled via a digital signal. It has its own unique code, and the transmission channel is protected by a special encryption system. The number of possible installed relays is limited only by the desire and capabilities of the owner. Here it would be wise not to save money and install another relay in a place different from the first one. For example, the operation of the fuel pump could be interrupted. It is possible to control this part of the chain via a GSM/GPS pager, implemented in MS-PGSM2.

To ensure that locks are not easily accessible for unauthorized persons, it is necessary to install an auxiliary hood lock. It would be nice to use Defen Time in such a situation.

Typically, this lock is controlled through a separately dedicated channel. However, you can save on the channel. For such purposes, it is better to use the MS-RL2 control module, which is a digital relay with additional capabilities. When the car is disarmed, the module unlocks the hood. And it blocks when the vehicle is armed again. In emergency situations, the lock is blocked.

Public address system

In order to notify the owner about events occurring with his car, the alarm set includes a pager-key fob. It has fairly high performance in terms of quality and operating range. But if you want to increase them, you can use the MS-PGSM2 pager. This allows you to receive signals not only on the key fob, but also on your mobile phone. In addition, this module activates Car-Online.

auxiliary options

It is worth noting as additional features the option of opening the trunk, which is carried out from the pager-key fob, as well as the window glass closer.

Pros and cons

The positive aspects include the following:

1. Stable operation of the system, without failures.
2. Convenience when using the key fob. The menu is quite simple and convenient: there is a backlight, the necessary functions can be found quite quickly, the menu is circular. At the beginning of the list are the most frequently used ones (opening the trunk, turning on the engine).
3. The display displays information well both in daylight and at night.
4. Beeper signals do not hurt your ears. The selection of functions is confirmed by vibration, which is also good.
5. Low power consumption by the key fob.
6. Excellent work of the radio channel. The signal is stable, and the transmission and reception radius is quite large.

The disadvantages include the following:

1. Lack of a button blocker on the pager. As a result, random presses occur in the pocket, which lead to the activation of panic mode. In general, using a cover helps avoid this. However, although the cover itself is transparent, over time dirt and dust accumulate under it. As a result, after a short period of time appearance the keychain becomes terrible.
2. As a result of operation, it was noticed that the warning system was not working properly. In particular, it fails when open trunk when the car is put in security mode. In this case, the hood does not latch either.
3. Malfunction of the shock sensor: after notifying the triggered warning zone, the sensor does not respond to a subsequent strong impact.

Bottom line

Stalker-600 Light is one of best options alarm systems with two-way broadcasting in the vast domestic market. The price makes it affordable. I am very pleased with the configuration, since it allows you to create, based on the built-in functions of the supplied modules, security system elite level. At the same time, the detected deficiencies are not so significant as to reduce overall rating systems. A large number of unique technologies allows this complex to be a competitive product in the market of automotive protection systems.
