PROXIMA ZK car alarm system

PROXIMA car alarms are a family of modern microprocessor programmable devices that meet almost all the needs of the installer and the customer. The compact design and convenient configuration with a radio programmer (patent pending) contributed to the considerable popularity of this system. The ZK model is the most advanced model.

The model has the following personalities:

Automatic immobilizer.
Anti-theft lock.
Silent (turn indicators only) or loud confirmation of alarm on/off.
Re-activation of the alarm after it has been deactivated (without opening the door, turning the ignition switch or pressing button B on the remote control).
One- or three-second control of the central lock, locking / unlocking after turning on / off the ignition switch.
Comfort function (30-second closing pulse).
It is possible to disable an additional sensor using the remote control.
The possibility of working with an additional sensor (for example, ultrasonic) with preliminary signaling (activation of the sensor generates 6 short signals).
Variable pilot code (Keeloq).
The possibility of programming using a radio programmer.
Remote control battery management. The alarm can be turned off when the battery is low.
Warning about interacting with a microwave detector (toad signal).
Opening windows using remote control in cooperation with the PROXIMA window controller.
"PANIC" function (pressing the upper button when the alarm is on activates the siren).
Protection against short circuit of turn signal and siren outputs.
Emergency disarming with a button.
Digital connector of the expansion module, which allows you to select the signal on and off - (requires a siren of the PROXIMA type),
Opening the trunk using the remote control.
Replacing the microwave warning signal (frog) - with a silent signal that changes after each warning.

Installation scheme of the PROXIMA ZK car alarm system

Programming with a PROXIMA ZK car alarm radio programmer

How to turn on the PROXIMA ZK alarm

Pressing the A button on the remote control when the alarm is off activates it. The activation of the alarm is signaled by a signal (if the option to turn on and off the loud alarm is enabled) and turn on the turn indicators for 3 seconds. If the battery in the key fob is low, pressing button A on the key fob will not activate the alarm, and the PDA will generate a series of 8 short siren pulses.

If the external sensor is programmed to be disabled, pressing the B button on the remote control while the turn indicators are on will disable the sensor. The alarm of sensor disconnection consists in turning off and re-turning on the turn signals and turning on the siren.

Pressing the A button when the turn indicators are on also disables the sensor and, when the system cooperates with the PROXIMA window controller, it leaves the windows open. Central locking blocks the alarm at the same time as turning on the turn signals. If the comfort function is activated, the mass at the exit of the central locking lock remains for an additional 25 seconds.

After closing the central lock, the alarm does not respond to the ignition for 5 seconds, to the door and the external sensor for 5 seconds (or 25 seconds).

After this time, the LED will start flashing slowly and the alarm will turn on. Pressing the B button when the alarm is activated activates the alarm siren (PANIC) for 10 seconds. The control panel has a limited number of alarms caused by door opening or sensor activation. After 10 alarms caused by the opening of the door or 10 alarms caused by the operation of an additional sensor, the PPC stops responding to these zones.

Triggering an alarm after turning the ignition switch resets the counter of alarms caused by door opening and sensor activation, and then the control panel responds to all activations again. If the pre-alarm function is enabled, the activation of the external sensor does not cause an alarm, but only turns on the signal diode and generates 6 siren signals. If the detector is reactivated within 30 seconds of the previous alarm, the control panel will trigger the alarm.

PROXIMA ZK alarm notification

The notification lasts 30 seconds. During the alarm, the siren is on and the turn signals are flashing. Pressing the A button on the remote control while the alarm is sounding will turn it off. Pressing the B button on the remote only shortens it (not turns it off) and the PDA goes into standby mode.

Alarm against the theft of the PROXIMA ZK sigalization

If the anti-theft (theft) lock is activated (programmed) in the alarm system, and the authorization time has expired (1 or 3 minutes after opening the door), the procedure for stopping the car begins. During the first 15 seconds, the warning siren sounds (increasingly frequently). If you press the authorization button for about 2 seconds during this time, the alarm will stop and you can continue driving. After this time, the ignition is turned off and the turn signals and siren are turned on.

After 30 seconds, the siren turns off, the turn indicators continue to flash, and the alarm waits for the ignition to be turned off and on again. After turning on the ignition, the ignition is turned on again for 10 seconds (this allows the car to drive to a safe place). Then the ignition is turned off and the siren is turned on again for 30 seconds.

Manipulations with the ignition lock after turning off the siren do not unlock the car, but only turn on the siren for 30 seconds. If the ignition is not turned on, the alarm remains with the ignition switch on, the siren off and the turn signals flashing until authorized. Authorization can be performed at any time while the anti-theft alarm is active. During the alarm caused by the anti-theft lock, the car alarm does not respond to remote control signals.

How to turn off the PROXIMA ZK alarm

Pressing the A button on the remote control while the alarm is on will turn it off. If the fob cannot be disarmed, and emergency disarming is programmed, after the alarm is triggered, hold down the authorization button until the siren stops sounding.

Disabling the alarm is signaled by two short beeps of the siren (if the loud alarm on and off option is set) and two long flashes of the turn signals.

If the alarm has been triggered at least once during the alarm waiting period, the control panel generates 4 short siren pulses (alarm memory) regardless of whether the loud alarm activation and deactivation option is enabled.

Pressing the A key within 3 seconds after turning on the turning indicators causes a command to the PROXIMA window regulator and full opening of the windows. Pressing the B button within 3 seconds after turning on the turn indicators or pressing the B button for 3 seconds opens the trunk (digital module required).

If re-arm is enabled, the LED starts flashing twice per second. If the door is not opened or the ignition switch is not turned on within 50 seconds, or button B on the remote control is not pressed, the alarm will reactivate. If the automatic locking option is programmed, then 50 seconds after the ignition is turned off, the locking relays are disabled and remain in this state until any button on the remote control is pressed.

The activation of the automatic lock is signaled by the continuous light of the LED (regardless of the state of the ignition switch). Disabling the lock using the remote control is possible regardless of the state of the ignition switch. Turning the ignition switch when the lock is locked is signaled by three sounds of the siren.

If the PDA detects that the key fob's battery is low, the automatic lock is disabled until any button on the key fob with a healthy battery is pressed. Automatic blocking and anti-theft (kidnaper) can be put into service mode (driving the car will be possible immediately after turning the ignition switch and authorization is not required). To do this, press two buttons on the remote control with the ignition on. The introduction of the lock into the service is signaled by the blinking of the LED three times per second for 10 seconds. Exit the service by pressing any button on the key fob.

PROXIMA ZK alarm memory

The alarm has a memory of the last 10 alarms. 50 seconds after the ignition is turned off, the LED lights up (don't forget to authorize the thief). If the door is opened 3 times within 5 seconds after turning on the LED, the alarm will start reading the memory of the last 10 alarms. The alarm generates a series of pulses, turning on and off the turn signals and indicator light. The number of pulses indicates the source of the alarm.
Alarm from ignition switch - 1 pulse, door - 2 pulses, additional sensor - 3 pulses, voltage drop sensor (multisensor) - 4 pulses, thief - 5 pulses, pressing the "PANIC" button - 6 pulses. Groups of pulses are separated from each other by intervals of one second. The alarms are read in order from the smallest. If there are no 10 alarms in the memory at the time of reading the memory, the reading will be correspondingly shorter.

How to manually program the PROXIMA ZK alarm

The alarm can be set up without a radio programmer, although it is an operation that requires some practice and concentration.

50 seconds after the ignition is turned off, the LED lights up (don't forget to authorize the thief, otherwise the LED lights up constantly). If the ignition switch is turned on and off 5 times within 5 seconds after the diode is turned on, the alarm will enter the setting mode, which is confirmed by the siren.

Then the alarm generates 13 groups of pulses (the first 11 groups have 2 pulses each, the other groups have 1 pulse each). Each group starts with a siren signal, then, depending on the group, there are 2 or 1 pulses lasting 1.5 seconds (turn indicators and LED are turned on). The pause between pulses in one group is 0.3 s.

The break between groups lasts 3 seconds. The selection of the appropriate options consists in turning on the ignition according to the corresponding pulse of the corresponding group. Turning on the ignition is signaled by the instantaneous dimming of the LED and dimming of the indicators. If the ignition is not turned off after programming the options, the alarm waits for it to be turned off and only then generates the next groups (standby mode). Selecting the first pulse in a group with two pulses shortens the generation of that group (the second pulse is not generated). Programming key fobs consists in pressing any key in the following key fobs. Remote control programming is signaled by turning on the LED, turn indicators and siren. Programming is completed after 4 remote controls have been programmed or 13 seconds after the last remote control has been programmed.

Key fobs are not programmable (key fob programming automatically deletes old fobs). Failure to program any fob after entering programming will not delete old fobs.

Programming the PROXIMA ZK alarm with a radio programmer

It is possible to set the siren using the timer if the alarm clock is turned off.

Belongs to:
- correctly set the switches of the radio programmer (first or second group of functions),
- turn on the car ignition by simultaneously pressing two buttons on the remote control (the signal diode will start flashing),
- press the program switch for a few seconds.
Configuration programming is signaled by siren activation for 2 seconds. Turning off the ignition while the control unit is waiting for a programmer command (flashing LED) interrupts programming.
