IMPORTANT1. The Cobra 8165 alarm system MUST be fitted with a previously installed Category 2 M.I.R.R.C. listed

immobiliser to obtain Category 1 status for the vehicle's security systems. If there is no Category 2Thatcham listed immobiliser fitted along with associated V.S.I.B. installation certificate, Category 1status cannot be claimed on fitment of the alarm.

2. The Cobra 8165 is a stand-alone alarm system and MUST NOT be connected in any way to an existingimmobiliser.

3. The Cobra 8165 MUST NOT take its power supply from the same circuit as the existing immobiliserand not interfere in any way with the immobiliser cut circuitry.

4. Where the existing immobiliser is connected to visual indicators the Cobra 8165 MUST NOT beconnected to visible indicators at all. Therefore the red/yellow wire and two yellow wires are not used andmust be insulated.

INSTALLATION NOTESNote 1: If additional cable is required, use only cable

of the same or greater current handling capacity.

Note 2: Ensure that all connections are electricallysound and made through a suitable connector andprotected from water ingress. Poor connectionsmay cause erratic operation of the alarm system.

Note 3: Take care to route cables away from theexhaust, cooling systems and any moving parts.Secure the alarm's harness to original vehicle'sharness or to a good fixing point of the vehicle.

Note 4: All alarm wiring should be lapped using tapeof similar appearance to the original vehicle. Extratape may be added to the vehicle's original harnessto give similar appearance.

Note 5: The alarm circuit board includes specialcircuit breakers which protect the main circuitboard and the indicators from attack by shorting.The 15 Amp fuse in the alarm harness's powersupply (Red wire) is to protect the harness fromshorting due to poor installation. It is recommendedthat the fuse holder and fuse is installed.

Note 6: Cable tie the ultrasonic and glass breakcables to the main alarm harness siren each side ofthe 2-way connectors to ensure they cannot beaccidentally disconnected.

STATUS HISTORY - DIAGNOSTICREAD OUTIf the alarm has triggered in your absence you will benotified by the indicators flashing 4 times when thealarm is disarmed. The status history will then bedisplayed by a sequence of flashes from the alarm'sLED. This will indicate the following:

1 Flash Door, boot or bonnet opened2 Flashes Optional sensor trigger

3 Flashes Ultrasonic sensor trigger or glassbreak trigger

4 Flashes Ignition sense - Ignition turned onwhile alarm armed

5 Flashes Voltage drop sensor triggered6 Flashes Tamper mode7 Flashes Serial line data link8 Flashes Serial line data link

MULTIPLE TRIGGERSThe alarm will also display multiple triggers,therefore if the door is opened and the ultrasonicthen detects movement inside the vehicle the LEDwill display 2 flashes followed by 3 flashes.

CLEARING DIAGNOSTIC MEMORY -STATUS HISTORY

Turning the ignition �On' or arming the alarm systemwill clear the Status History.
