Follow these steps to configure the system:

1. Select a car from the list: Choose the correct manufacturer, model, and production year.
2. Select modification: Some cars may have several modifications of the CAN bus. Select "mod 1" and test if the System is working. If not, switch to the next modification.
3. Enable CAN control: Turn ON the control via CAN bus. For some cars, you can select from several control programs; select the first from the list and check if the control is working. If not, select the next program.
4. Setup settings: Configure the required Alarm System settings (e.g., siren behavior, sensor sensitivity).
5. Save data: Save the selected vehicle data and settings to the unit.

4.1. Signals Monitored via CAN Bus

The system allows monitoring various vehicle zones through the CAN bus, such as:

• Ignition status
• Doors (Driver, Passenger, Rear)
• Hood and Trunk status

5. DIRECTION INDICATORS

Select one of the ways to connect the direction indicators:

Pic. 4. Wiring diagrams for different direction indicator connection options (A through E).

• A - The control of the direction indicators via CAN bus is possible in the car. No additional connections are necessary.
• B - The connecting to the Hazard Warning Button and the monitoring of the direction indicator flashes via CAN bus are possible in the car.
• C - The connecting to the Hazard Warning Button is possible in the car, however the monitoring of the direction indicator flashes via CAN bus is not possible. The analog input configured for monitoring of the direction indicator flashes is used.
• D - The connecting to the Hazard Warning button is possible in the car, however the direction indicator flashes are not under monitoring (not recommended way to control the direction indicator).
• E - The control of the direction indicators via CAN bus and the connecting to the Hazard Warning Button are impossible in the car. The direction indicators are controlled by switching the 12V voltage directly via built-in relay.

6. ADDITIONAL EQUIPMENT WIRING DIAGRAM

Follow these guidelines when connecting additional peripheral equipment to the alarm system:

Pic. 5. Additional equipment wiring diagram.

1. Buzzer: Connect and install the buzzer (applicable for alarm system versions with ID card reader - GN7C.HUPS).
2. Hood Switch: If the alarm system does not monitor the hood switch status via CAN bus, or if the car lacks an original equipment (OM) hood switch, install and connect an external hood switch.
3. Electronic Siren: If an electronic siren is used instead of a loudspeaker-type siren, install it as shown in the wiring diagram and change the setting to SN=5 for FN65.
4. Optional Controls: If additional equipment is installed (e.g., additional engine immobilization circuits, engine preheating modules), connect them using the Optional control No.1 and Optional control No.2 outputs. The purpose of these outputs can be configured via settings for FN51 and FN52.

7. THE SYSTEM TRIGGER DATA

The Alarm System saves information about the last triggers and can indicate the trigger reasons in two ways:

• a) Disarm the System, close the doors, and turn ON the ignition. The System will indicate the reason for the last trigger via direction indicator flashes (and siren signals, depending on settings).
• b) Enter FN71, FN72, or FN73. The System will indicate the reason for one of the last 3 triggers via direction indicator flashes (and siren).

Trigger Identification Table

The following table defines the reason for the trigger based on the number of flashes/signals:

Flash Count	Trigger Reason
1	Triggered built-in shock sensor
2	Triggered built-in tilt sensor
3	Triggered ultrasonic sensor (volume)
4	Triggered OM sensor
5	Ignition was turned ON
6	Front left door was opened
7	Front right door was opened
8	Rear left door was opened
9	Rear right door was opened
10	Hood was opened
11	Trunk was opened
12	Driver not identified
13	Low Batt (not used)
14	Triggered additional sensor

8. AUTOMATIC VEHICLE DETECTION

8.1. CAR DETECTION PROCEDURE

If the car was not selected manually from the list (by PC using installed GN7C Loader software, see 6), when the System is powered up, the car detection procedure is automatically activated – the System LED blinks quadruple flashes. In order for the Alarm System to identify the car in which it is installed, it is necessary to fulfill the following:

Pic. 6. Automatic car detection steps.

If the car detection procedure failed (there was no long flash of the System LED confirming the successful learning of the System), however the System detected the ignition ON and the System LED blinks double flashes, proceed as follows:

Pic. 7. Troubleshooting steps for failed car detection.

NOTES. If the Alarm System learning (automatic vehicle detection) failed:

• Repeat the procedure of automatic vehicle detection from the beginning, only this time, first turn ON the ignition and turn ON the power of the Alarm System with the ignition ON.
• Check if the CAN bus and ground wires are well connected, and whether the System is connected to the correct CAN bus.
• Update the Alarm System firmware and repeat the Alarm System learning procedure.

8.2. OTHER VEHICLE DETECTION

If the Alarm System was used in one car and later installed in another car, it is necessary to re-execute the vehicle detection procedure or select the car manually (using a computer with the installed software GN7C Loader). To start the automatic car detection procedure, follow these steps:

1. a) Enter PIN code (see 9.2).
2. b) Within 8 minutes after entering the PIN code enter the code 59 (Fn59).

8.3. IMPORTANT TO KNOW

• Vehicle detection procedure can be cancelled by Service Button press. The System terminates the detection procedure and remains in Setup Mode.
• After a successful car detection procedure the System automatically goes into Normal Mode and you can start using the System immediately.

9. MANUAL CHANGE OF THE ALARM SYSTEM SETTINGS

9.1. PIN, FN AND SN CODES

To configure the system, you will need to use the following codes:

• PIN – A 4-digit code required to activate the Setup Mode and the Service Mode.
  • Note:** The factory PIN code is printed on the Alarm System label. It is strongly recommended to change the factory PIN code after the system installation.
• FN – Function Number – A 2-digit code used to select the specific function that needs to be changed.
• SN – Setting Number – A 1-digit or 2-digit code used to select the desired setting value for the chosen function.

9.2. ENTERING PIN CODE

PIN code: "2113" (example)

A) By Service Button

Notes

1. System LED behavior:
   • For model 'GN7C.HUPS', after PIN entry, the LED flashes triple times for 12 seconds (intended for ID card pairing, see User Manual).
   • For other models, the LED flashes frequently.
2. Anti-carjack: If 'anti-carjack' is activated, the first press of the Secret Button cancels it; only subsequent presses enter the PIN code.
3. Return to Regular Mode: If the 8-minute control time after PIN entry has not elapsed, enter code 11. If the control time has elapsed, enter the PIN code first, then enter code 11.
4. Mistake (Service Button): If a mistake occurs while entering the PIN via the Secret Button, wait for the LED confirmation flash, wait 2 seconds, and repeat the procedure from the beginning.
5. Mistake (Ignition Key): If a mistake occurs while entering the PIN via the ignition key, turn OFF the ignition, close the doors, and repeat the procedure from the beginning.

9.3. SERVICE MODE AND SETUP MODE

• Setup Mode is activated for 8 minutes after the PIN code is entered. This mode is dedicated to the manual change of the System settings using FN and SN codes. Note that each entry of an FN or SN code extends the control time for another 8 minutes.
• Service Mode is dedicated to the emergency shutdown of the Alarm system. The system automatically enters Service Mode after the 8-minute control time has elapsed, provided no FN or SN codes were entered.

Pic. 15. Changing setting to SN=3 using the Ignition Key.

NOTES:

1. If the FN code is not entered due to an error, wait for frequent flashes of the System LED and try again.
2. If the FN code is not entered because the 8-minute Control time has elapsed, enter the Setup Mode again.
3. The SN indication can be cancelled by a short press of the Secret Button or by turning ON the ignition for a short time (if the FN code was entered by the ignition key).
4. FN31, FN32, and FN34 – Sensitivity Adjustment/Testing:
   • When one of these codes is entered, the System indicates the current SN value by flashing the System LED once.
   • You can now test the sensor sensitivity; a trigger will be indicated by a short siren signal.
   • The sensitivity (SN value) can be adjusted at any time while the test mode is active. After changing the SN value, the new value will be displayed once more, allowing for further testing.
   • To exit this mode, briefly press the Secret Button or turn the ignition ON (if the FN code was entered by the ignition key).
