1. ARMING
a)
Must automatically arm in no less than 20 seconds and no more than 40 seconds
delay after ignition being switched off or last door closed.
b) Immobiliser must not arm while the ignition is on.
2. DISARMING
a) By means of either:
(i) a coded plug;
(ii) a coded close-proximity device;
(iii) a remote control device; or
(iv) key pad with a minimum of 10,000 combinations. (Note.. security protocols
do not permit the use of a PIN having 4 identical digits (eg: 1 1 1 1).
Therefore
achieving a minimum of 10,000 codes requires a 5 digit PIN using 0-9, or
a
4 digit PIN if additional keys are used.)
b) If coded plug is used, engine must not start if the plug is left in the plug socket.
c)
If a remote control device uses radio frequency signals, randomly encrypted
technology must apply.
3. INTEGRITY
a)
Control module to be mounted in an inconspicuous location inside the vehicle
away
from moisture and excessive heat; or if mounted in the engine compartment
must
meet Australian Standard AS/NZ S 3749.1 section 3.3.2 and 3.3.3.
b)
Professional installation meeting the requirements of Australian Standard
AS/NZ S 3749.2 by an authorised installer..
c)
Must illuminate a red light when immobiliser is armed. The light must be
clearly
visible to the driver and from outside the vehicle in daylight.
d)
All wiring spliced into vehicles wiring loom to be soldered, secured and
insulated.
f) All relays must be contained inside control module housing.
g) The power supply to the immobiliser must be protected by a fuse.
h) Immobiliser must remain in an armed state should any of the following occur:
(i) removal of any fuse;
(ii) interruption of power supply;
(iii) application of a 12 volt power or ground supply to any of the
harness
wiring; or
(iv) short circuit. (As per Australian Standard AS/NZ S 3749.1
section 3.3.1.2.)
i) (i) Average current draw must be no more than 20 milliamps while in the
armed
state;
(ii) Immobiliser must function with a power supply voltage
of 9 to 18 volts
and ambient temperature between -10 degrees C to +85 degrees C. A
certificate or declaration signed by the manufacturer or supplier stating
that
the system meets a basic test of 10 cycles within 24 hours as per Australian Standard AS/NZ S 3749.1 section 3.3.2 and 3.3.3 must be supplied when the
immobiliser is submitted for testing.
j) If remote control
operation is used the transmitter must meet the requirements
of the
Spectrum Management Authority. A certificate or declaration signed
by the
manufacturer or supplier stating that the system meets these requirements
must be
supplied when the immobiliser is submitted for testing.
k) Fault management should include circuitry to prevent immobilisation of the
engine while the engine is running either due to removal of power from the control
module or an accidental activation of the immobiliser.
4. SYSTEM OVERRIDE
If a system override is provided it must incorporate one of the following:
a) the ignition to be left on for a period of at least 30 minutes after
which time the
immobiliser shall be deactivated.
b) an electronic override with a minimum of 10,000 combinations.
(As per
Australian Standard AS/NZ S 3 749. I.)
c) in the case of a car alarm installed in the engine compartment,
a mechanical
override with a minimum of 1,000 combinations. (As per Australian
Standard AS/NZ S 3749. I.)
5. TYPES OF IMMOBILISATION
a) On spark ignition (including LPG powered engines), immobilisation must
be carried out on at least two of the following systems;
starter
fuel; or
ignition.
b) Compression ignition/diesel engines must be immobilised
via the starter and,
where an electronic fuel valve has been fitted by the vehicles manufacturer,
immobilisation by that valve must also be provided.
c) If the ignition system is immobilised it must
be immobilised in such a way that
application of power to the primary or low tension circuit of the ignition
does
not enable the ignition to be activated.
6. DEFINITION OF TERMS
Coded Close Contact Device ( Radio Frequency Identification ) " R F I D "
A device for disarming the immobiliser which requires a portable key or similar device to be within 300 mm (but not in a direct contact) of a receiver mounted within easy reach of the driver.
Coded Plug
A device for disarming the immobiliser which requires a plug with an electrical
or
electronic code having a minimum of 10,000 combinations to be inserted
in a socket.
Randomly Encrypted
A code which changes randomly whenever the immobiliser is armed or disarmed.
Fault Management
a) While engine is running the immobiliser should not activate due to either:
(i) interference from the vehicles electrical system;
or
(ii) high intensity electromagnetic fields. (As per Australian
Standard
AS/NZ S 3749.1 section 3.3.7. 1).
