TELTONIKA IMB5 Immobilizer Purpose

The purpose of the immobilizer "TELTONIKA IMB5" is the prevention of the car theft.

• The driver is identified when the person with the active paired ID card comes inside the communication area.
• If the person has no ID card, the immobilizer regards the vehicle is under unauthorized use and transfers the signal for engine immobilization.
• The system supports up to 5 ID cards.

The Set and Components

The immobilizer includes:

• System Unit: An electronic module hidden inside the vehicle.
• ID Card: An electronic key that should be kept in the driver's pocket or handbag.
• Buzzer: For acoustic signals and status warnings.
• LED Indicator: For visual status information.

The ID Card

The ID card is not intended for use as a remote key fob and shall be kept separately from the car keys.

ID Card Modes

You can change the ID card mode by pressing and holding the button:

• Active Mode (Green LED): The card constantly communicates with the System Unit. Recommended for daily use.
• Passive Mode (Orange LED): The card only communicates when the button is pressed. Recommended for long-term storage or battery saving.
• OFF Mode (Red LED): The card is completely turned off.

Battery Replacement

• Battery type: 3V CR2032.
• Life span: It is recommended to replace the battery every 12 months.
• Low Battery Warning: When the ignition is turned ON, the system warns by a series of 4 double buzzer signals if the ID card battery is low.

If the ID card signal is lost while the ignition is ON (e.g., if the driver is forced out of the car):

1. The system starts a countdown (60s or 120s depending on settings).
2. The buzzer will warn with increasing frequency.
3. Finally, the engine will be immobilized.
