Signaling complex D94 was a continuationStarline telematics security systems. And if in previous versions of the A-family the calculation was for cars, the D-line focuses on the off-road segment. The rest of the fundamental direction of the security device remains the same. The creators sought to unleash the potential of modern wireless control, used satellite navigation sensors and traditional elements of anti-theft systems. The result was a functionally balanced Starline D94 system, which at the same time has many differences from similar offers of competitive manufacturers.
Signaling Information
Starline is a multi-component securitycomplex based on an intelligent security management system. The main multi-hardware systems include autorun, interactive access control code, wired and wireless interfaces, geolocation tools, etc. The user can control the Starline D94 GSM system using a mobile communication module, complete keyfobs or via the start button, which is set to central dashboard in the cabin. Assistance in organizing interaction with automotive electronics is provided by the GPS interface. It allows you to determine the location of the machine with an accuracy of several meters.
Physical protection provide anti-theftmechanisms that are embedded in the engine compartment, blocking the hood, doors and windows. For automatic control of potentially dangerous points of hacking special sensors are used. The status of the system also informs the key chain Starline D94, the display of which reflects information about other components of the guard. As for the security of the alarm itself, the system is initially protected by an interactive control code with private keys. Radio signal security is ensured by proprietary noise isolation and a 512-channel transceiver with a narrow data transmission band.
Installation requirements
First of all, the manufacturer recommendsuse the complex only as part of the on-board network of off-road vehicles with a voltage of 12 V. Before installing the system elements, make sure that the local electrical equipment is properly and correctly connected. Even before the placement of functional components, it is necessary to prepare wires that will provide the power supply network and signaling data transmission. Laying is carried out so that the contours are as far as possible from the emitters of radio and electrical interference. This can be, for example, high-voltage wires, electromagnetic devices or ignition coils. To ensure that the Starline D94 alarm system has a stable power supply even under strong vibration conditions when driving off-road, it is recommended to place cable lines without the risk of direct contact with steering rods, pedals and other moving units and assemblies of the machine. If it is planned to integrate additional relays into the circuit, then they should be shunted by diodes first.
Installation of the main components
The main working component of any telematicsThe alarm is a control unit. It is installed in the cabin and, if possible, in a hidden place - usually under the dashboard. The device is fixed using self-tapping screws or plastic cable ties. The method of fixture is determined by the design of the SUV and the operating conditions of the unit. In this part, the main thing is to ensure the stability of the position of the equipment Starline D94 with the expectation of the same vibrations and vibrations while driving. Another important nuance when installing this unit is to respect the distance from the sources of heating. The controller device also provides for the presence of a temperature sensor; therefore, the external influence of climate instruments may distort the readings of this module.
Equally significant is the transceiver, from whichdepends on the quality of communication between alarm components and car owners. It is desirable to fix it on the windshield, but it is possible under the same dashboard. In both cases, it is necessary to maintain a 5-centimeter distance from the metal parts of the car body, lighting devices and sensitive sensors. If this condition is met, the Starline D94 car alarm will be able to ensure reliable signal reception and transmission. The physical fastening of this module is carried out with plastic ties or double-sided tape.
Installation of auxiliary components
To this group of alarm componentsIncludes LED indicator, remote temperature sensor and siren. The device of light indication can be fixed in any place of the car where its visibility in an active state will be guaranteed. It is advisable to fix the temperature sensor on the cooling system in a part of the nozzle. Fastening is done with cable ties. There is also another option for fixing - next to the power unit by means of threaded connections of the appropriate size. To maintain the reliability of the installation, it is recommended to use Starline D94 complete clamps. The instruction also indicates that the sensor cannot be squeezed by a rigid mount. This is what inexperienced masters want to minimize the effects of vibrations on a sensitive element. As for the siren, the most advantageous place to place it is in the engine compartment with a horn down. At the same time, it is also necessary to withstand removal from sources of high temperatures and humidity.
Power supply connection
Connection starts with black ground wirealarms. This is done using the complete bolt. At the end of the wire should be wound terminals specifically for the format of the nut. Sometimes, again, inexperienced users connect the mass to the car body with screws, but this option is undesirable because of the instability of the mount. Connection of 12 V circuits is carried out by three red wires from the relay module. At this stage, you need to consider a few points. First, the Starline D94 car alarm will ensure reliable operation only when connected to the battery with standard wires with a cross section of at least 6 mm2. Among the main connection points, you can highlight the ignition lock, the bodywork control unit, and the installation complex. Secondly, it is necessary to take into account the presence of fuses in the circuit, as well as their rating. The power supply of the central unit and the relay module must be connected in different circuits and with separate fuses.
Features of connection of the CAN bus Starline D94
In this case, the connection scheme is determined bycharacteristics of a specific onboard network. For example, a CAN connection can be made using one wire or through a whole group of channels. Also, some SUV models do not support control of light signals through this interface. In such cases, the Starline D94 GSM kit should be connected to alternative control systems. In addition, this modification is by default oriented on connection without a CAN bus, as it was in many previous generations. The new interface was added as an option.
Connection of additional devices
Additional components includeimmobilizer and temperature sensor, which by this point should already be installed. As for the first device, we are usually talking about a regular module whose task is to prevent keyless engine start. That is, in this case, the system will be installed, duplicating the function of the immobilizer. The simulator formed by two antenna-coils will act as a simulator. They will provide commutation via relays. In this case, one coil must be paired with an ignition lock, and the second with a key. The temperature sensor Starline D94 is connected via a 2-pin connector on the controller unit. After connection, the points of contact must be carefully isolated.
Positive feedback on the system
In practice, the use of the system reveals itselfwith dignity. According to users, electrical connections work stably, eliminating the problem of interaction between the owner and the car. Here it is worth emphasizing the reliability of the devices themselves included in the kit. Highly rated and functionality Starline D94 GSM. Reviews experienced car owners say that formally the complex does not offer anything new, but the combination of functional output systems provides an ergonomic and reliable security tool.
Negative feedback
To the weak places of the equipment, many referdependence of the radio transmitter on weather conditions and incompatibility of equipment with some models of foreign cars. There are also comments in terms of the key fob. The fact is that the alarm Starline D94 GSM involves a constant radio contact with the user on the type of synchronization. This is partly why the complete key chain of this system is often criticized for the quick fit of the batteries. In normal operation, the batteries are not enough for 1.5-2 months.
Conclusion
As modern security systemsanti-theft protection Starline products are credible and ordinary motorists, and among professionals. However, such complexes are valued not only for their innovativeness and high level of protection, but also for their affordable price. In particular, Starline D94 with installation can be purchased for 28-30 thousand rubles. Without installation, the kit is available on average for 25 thousand. Setting up modules will additionally cost 2-3 thousand. For comparison, offers from competitors of the same level are often estimated at 40-50 thousand. However, this may be a multifunctional system that is more dense affect and electrical equipment that is not associated with the protective and protective function of the car.
