TriMark 500-1300 e-ASK - Introduction; General Component Overview; E-Controller (38246-01 and 38847-01)

Introduction
This manual provides the necessary information for the proper
installation and use of TriMark’s e-ASK system. The e-ASK comes with
the following components:
 e-FOB: Keyless entry RF FOB transmitter with Passive keyless
LF PKS (Passive Keyless Start) ability
 e-ASK I/O Module: The input/output processor with low
frequency (LF) and RF transceiver capabilities
 Antennas: LF interior antennas for FOB section
 Handle with Touchpad: A five button chrome handle. It allows
for locking and unlocking functions via a CAN network
This new generation of TriMark’s e-ASK not only maintains its previous
advantages for controlling door and accessory control, it also adds
value to the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and customer by
incorporating remote keyless entry, immobilization and keyless start
into a single package.
The FOBs have typical lock/unlock buttons that can be used up to 50
meters depending on architecture and location. For security reason, RF
signals are encrypted using randomly generated numbers. This is what
allows the system to start by pressing a button. The system uses the
LF/RF messaging to ensure an authorized FOB is within range inside
the vehicle. A combination of LF challenges and RF responses delivers
low power consumption for long battery life.
