Immobilizer Pandect: description of 6 popular models

The capabilities of the control module provide for a body kit with additional devices for duplicating system locks. Even localized in a housing located under the hood, the immobilizer IS-577 BT ensures reliable operation of the start circuit breaking mechanism in case of unauthorized seizure of control. When combined with the Pandora alarm, the immobilizer has increased in comparison with the previous version of the IS-570i. Added "hands free" feature.

An innovative approach to the problem of theft prevention was embodied in a series of devices called the Pandect immobilizer from Pandora. You can buy both simple models with push-button programming, and those running smartphones.

Immobilizer Pandect IS-670

A high-tech anti-theft device in which the implementation of blocking functions occurs without using the CAN bus. There are a number of built-in procedures available for adjustment, in particular the sensitivity of the motion sensor and sound signals. Encryption of data exchange over a radio channel operating at frequencies in the range of 2400 MHz-2500 MHz is carried out in the Pandect IS-670 immobilizer using a hack-proof algorithm. It is possible to remotely start the engine for warming up without entering the salon. The difference from the younger model IS-650 is the additional function of blocking control from the tag and various types of connected radio relays.

The function of blocking the hood lock incorporated into the security system is implemented by installing a special module that is not included in the delivery set. The electronic content of the tag is enclosed in a case that does not resist shock, so a special regular case is attached for its storage.

Immobilizer Pandect IS-350i

The operation of the device is based on continuous polling of the air in search of a signal from the unlocking tag, which is in the possession of the owner of the car. The activation of the anti-theft mode with the readiness to turn off the engine start circuits in the Pandect IS-350 occurs when the distance from the car is more than 3-5 meters. The system allows a single start of the power unit and its operation for 15 seconds, after which the engine is turned off if no RFID tag is detected in the scanning area of ​​the Pandora IS-350i immobilizer.

The minimum configuration of the Pandect IS-350i immobilizer contains a single-channel engine interruption circuit with the highest switching current up to 20 amperes. Installation is preferable in the passenger compartment, but placement in the engine compartment is also allowed, in places where there is a minimum concentration of metal elements.

It is desirable to store the tag separately from the means of communication and identification, such as a smartphone, keys, bank cards.

Immobilizer Pandect BT-100

In addition to the standard set of features, the anti-theft device is equipped with a functionally expanded comfortable control system via Bluetooth Low Energy channel using a smartphone. A specially designed application provides convenient work with the BT-100 immobilizer. Reduced power consumption of the wearable tag increases battery life. The main unit has terminals for connecting additional devices that control access to the vehicle.

The concept of the BT-100 device involves its installation on cars of any brand and constructive implementation, and, according to reviews, using a smartphone is very convenient.

Immobilizer Pandect IS-577 BT

Being a functional copy of the previous development - Pandect BT-100, the updated anti-theft device is equipped with improved software. Energy-saving consumption of the Pandect IS-577 BT radio tag unit, enclosed in a dust and moisture-proof case, guarantees long-term (up to 3 years) battery operation.

Immobilizer Pandect IS-572 BT

The latest model that entered the market in 2020, which takes into account the wishes of the operators in terms of improvements in the usability of the functionality. First of all, this is an additional relay integrated into the control unit that locks the electromechanical hood lock. Thus, there is no need to install separate modules and piping. The combination in the Pandect IS-572 BT of contacts that regulate the supply of voltage to the access points to the engine compartment and engine start in one housing turned out to be a good solution. This made it possible to expand the localization of the installation of the anti-theft device, increasing the degree of secrecy. Manipulations with settings and controls are now easily implemented on a smartphone. To change the code instructions, you need to use the special Pandect BT application.

Immobilizer Pandect IS-477

One of the very first versions of Pandora's anti-theft devices, produced from 2008 to the present. A compact device that disables the engine start system in case of an attempted theft and in the event of forcible mastery of the vehicle controls. As an identifier, the 477th model uses a special key fob that exchanges data over an encrypted radio channel in the 2,4 GHz-2,5 GHz band. The blocking operation implements a wireless relay that breaks the power supply circuits of the units for initializing the operation of the power unit.
