Frequently Asked Questions - CA-1803BT Athos Jablotron

How do I install the CA-1803BT Athos car alarm?

Installation is complex and requires connection to your vehicle's electrical system. We strongly recommend professional installation to avoid damage and ensure proper functionality. Refer to the detailed manual for wiring diagrams.

How do I pair my smartphone via Bluetooth?

Download the Joblotron app from your app store. Ensure the alarm is in pairing mode (usually by pressing and holding the remote button for 3 seconds). Then, select the device in the app and follow the on-screen instructions.

What is the range of the remote?

The remote control has a range of up to 100 meters in open space. Walls and obstacles can reduce this range significantly.

How do I replace the remote battery?

Use a small flathead screwdriver to gently pry open the remote casing. Replace the old CR2032 battery with a new one, ensuring correct polarity. Snap the casing back together.

Why does my alarm trigger falsely?

False alarms can be caused by low battery in the remote, faulty shock sensor sensitivity, or environmental factors like strong wind or passing trucks. Try adjusting the shock sensor sensitivity via the control unit or app.

Can I use the alarm without Bluetooth?

Yes, the alarm works as a standard remote-controlled system even without Bluetooth connectivity. Bluetooth adds smartphone control and notifications.

What is the two-way communication feature?

The remote and alarm communicate bidirectionally, meaning the remote will beep or vibrate to confirm that the alarm has been armed or triggered, providing peace of mind.

How do I perform a factory reset?

To reset the alarm to factory defaults, locate the reset button on the control unit (usually a small pinhole). Press and hold it for 10 seconds while the ignition is on. Alternatively, refer to the manual.

Is the system compatible with all vehicles?

The CA-1803BT is designed for most 12V vehicles with standard wiring. However, some modern cars with complex electronics may require additional adapters. Check compatibility with your vehicle before purchase.

What should I do if the alarm does not respond?

First, check the remote battery. If the remote works but the alarm does not respond, check the alarm's fuse and power connections. Ensure the alarm is not in valet mode (look for a toggle switch). If issues persist, consult a professional installer.

USER MANUAL CA-1803BT Athos Jablotron

Installation manual: CA-1803BT "Athos"

Before installation

This is the basic version of the installation manual and programming sequences. On the web site www.jablotronalarms.com in the download section you can find a full version of this manual or you can find it included in the installation kit on CD / DVD. If you have no experience with CA-1803 installation, we recommend you to read the extended version of the manual to know all the parameters well.

The immobilizer relay contact of car alarm is connected only in disarmed mode and if the ignition is on. Do not block circuits that are under voltage while the ignition is off. It could cause a serious damage of the vehicle.

The car alarm should only be installed by a professional installer. It is suitable for cars with a dashboard voltage supply of 12V or 24V with a negative ground connection. During the first power-up, the value of supply voltage is read and the inputs are set to default settings. The alarm is designed to be installed inside the car.

For cars with a voltage supply of 24V, the following restrictions apply to car alarm installation:

1. It is not possible to connect a hands-free set of type HF-03.
2. When used for acoustic signalling, the SIR output is switched to the power supply voltage. Consequently, this output switches to 24V, so it is necessary to use a siren of type SA-606-24V instead of the SA-530 which is supplied in the standard package. In this case it is necessary to set the confirmation beeps to 100 ms.

Steps to enroll RC-8x controllers:

1. The car alarm should be disarmed, with the ignition on.
2. Send the SMS instruction MASTER LEARN RC
3. The car alarm beeps 3 times and an LED starts to flash.
4. The RC-8x controller is enrolled by pressing buttons 🔒 and

simultaneously for approx. 3 sec. A siren chirp confirms the enrollment. By enrolling the first remote control all other remote controls previously enrolled will be erased (so enroll all the controllers intended for use, one by one).

1. Exit enrollment by turning the ignition off. The alarm confirms the enrollment by sending an SMS message to authorized phones TEL1 to TEL4.

Functions related to GPS

Location detection using GPS

An example of an instruction sent from an authorized phone: GPS An example of response: Car alarm reports: Location:

(GMT:3.12.10:35) 50*43.495N;15*11.253E;515;50, Time:3.12.05 11:35

current

Time:3.12.05 11:35 current local time

Time zone setting

To adjust the time information to local time, time zone setting is possible. The car alarm adds/subtracts the time shift, expressed in hours, to the GMT time (for middle Europe: +2 hours in summer time, +1 hour in winter time).

Instruction: MASTER TIME ±xy

xy is the time shift in hours -3,-2 ...+1,+2 relative to GMT

MASTER TIME GSM

turns on automatic setting via incoming SMS.

Integrated Bluetooth module (BT)

When disarmed and with the ignition key on, the car alarm sends GPS coordinates via the BT which can be used for navigation. The car alarm authorization code for device-pairing is 0000. The ignition key must be on during the pairing process.

Internet remote access

The web site www.GSMLink.cz enables car alarm remote control (to users) and setting (to installers).

To get internet access to an installed and powered car alarm you will first be asked to register your car alarm on the first page. You will find a unique registration code for your car alarm on the warranty card.

Additional features

Pre-paid SIM card balance

It is recommended not to use prepaid cards in the car alarm. If you have no other choice than prepaid cards, you can enable the CREDIT instruction by the following sequence:

MASTER CREDIT uuu..u xx yyy zz

where: uuu...u is the provider's code to obtain the balance

xx is the time period (in days) for regular checking

yyy is the threshold level below which the balance is reported to the user (TEL1)

zz is the position of the first digit of the balance in the reply SMS from the provider

• After this sequence has been sent once, the car alarm will check the balance automatically every xx days and if the balance is lower than yyy the user will be notified (TEL1)
• If the CREDIT instruction is enabled in the above way, the user can also obtain the current balance by the instruction CREDIT
• To disable the automatic balance checking set the time period "xx" to 00.

Reset GSM

If you need to disconnect and then reconnect the GSM module to the GSM network, then use the command "MASTER RESET GSM".

This does not affect any settings and velocity typically used for GPRS activation or charging up credit. This command always requires the Master code.

Service instruction

The DINFO instruction allows you to obtain current settings, information about the quality of the GSM signal, the registration code for GSMLink devices and some other parameters. This command always requires the Master code.

Example of instruction: MASTER DINFO
