INSTALLATION OF MAJOR COMPONENTS

Control Module :

Select a mounting location inside the passenger compartment ( up behind the dash ), and secure using the two screws provided. The control module can also be secured in place using cable ties.

Do not mount the control module in the engine compartment, as it is not waterproof. You should also avoid mounting the unit directly onto factory installed electronic components. These components may cause RF interference, which can result in poor transmitter range or intermittent operation.

Siren :

Select a mounting location in the engine compartment that is well protected from access below the vehicle. Avoid areas near high heat components or moving parts within the engine compartment. To prevent water retention, the flared end of the siren must be pointed downward when mounted.

Mount the siren to the selected location using the screws and bracket provided.

Hood or Trunk Pin Switch :

A pin switch is included for use in protecting the hood or trunk ( or hatchback ) of the vehicle. The switch must always be mounted to a grounded, metal surface of the vehicle. It is important to select a location where water cannot flow or collect, and to avoid all drip gutters on hood and trunk fender walls. Choose locations that are protected by rubber gaskets when the hood or trunk lid is closed.

The pin switch can be mounted using the bracket provided, or direct mounted by drillinga¼“diameter mounting hole. Keep in mind that when properly mounted, the plunger of the pin switch should depress at least ¼ “ when the hood or trunk lid is closed.

Dash Mounted L.E.D. :

A small red L.E.D. is included that will serve as a visual indicator of the alarm status. It should be installed in the dash, located where it can be easily seen from outside the vehicle, yet not be distracting to the driver.

Once a location has been selected, check behind the panel for wire routing access, and to confirm the drill will not damage any existing components as it passes through the panel.

Drilla¼“diameter hole, and pass the red and blue wires from the L.E.D. through the hole, from the front of the panel. Firmly press the body of the L.E.D. into the hole until fully seated.

Valet Switch :

Select a mounting location for the switch that is easily accessible to the driver of the vehicle. The switch does not have to be concealed, however, concealing the switch is always recommended, as this provides an even higher level of security to the vehicle.

The valet switch can be mounted to the lower side of the dash by drillinga¼“diameter hole in the selected location.

Be sure to check behind the dash for adequate clearance for the body of the switch, and to confirm that the drill will not damage any existing components as it passes through the dash. You should also make certain that the back of the switch is accessible for wiring later in the installation.

Hi-Jack Override/Enable Switch:

Select a covert location for this switch within reach of the driver of the vehicle. This switch can be mounted behind a soft dash panel, above the driver under the headliner, under the driver's seat. This switch must be within reach of the operator of the vehicle. The locations mentioned are hidden from view and will be known only to the vehicle operator yet they allow activation of the switch when necessary.

Shock Sensor :

Select a solid mounting surface for the shock sensor on the firewall inside the passenger compartment, and mount the sensor using the two screws provided. The shock sensor can also be secured to any fixed brace behind the dash using tie straps.

Whichever mounting method is selected, make certain that the sensitivity adjustment is accessible for use later in the installation.

WIRING THE SYSTEM

Main Wiring Harness : Red Fused Wire : + 12 VDC CONSTANT BATTERY SOURCE

This wire supplies power to the control module and, controls the sensitivity of the voltage sensing circuit, which detects the turning on of an interior light when a door is opened. This wire will also detect the switching on of parking or headlamps, and in many cases will trigger the alarm when a thermostatically controlled electronic radiator cooling fan switches on.

When installing this system into vehicles with electronic “ after fans “, it is recommended you disable the voltage sense circuit.

In voltage sensing applications, the closer to the battery that the red wire is connected, the less sensitive the voltage sense circuitry will be. Moving this connection point to the fuse panel will increase the sensitivity, and connecting to the courtesy lamp fuse in the vehicle will provide maximum sensitivity of the voltage sense circuit.

When hardwiring the control module to pin switches at all entry points, the voltage sense circuit must be disabled. The control circuit is shipped with selectable feature #6 turned off, and no change is necessary. If you intend to utilize the voltage sense feature instead of hardwiring, then change selectable feature#6toonasdescribed on page 1 of this manual.

White Wire : + 12 VDC PULSED PARKING LIGHT OUTPUT ( 15 AMP MAX ) This wire is provided to flash the vehicle’s parking lights. Connect the white wire to the positive side of one of the vehicle’s parking lights.

Red/White Wire: + 12 VDC CIRCUIT SUPPLY See Red Wire above. Connecting the above Red wire completes the connection for the Red/ White wire.

White w/ Black Trace Wire : POSITIVE OUTPUT TO SIREN

Route this wire through a rubber grommet in the firewall, and to the siren location. Connect the white / black wire to the positive wire of the siren. Secure the black ground wire of the siren

to chassis ground. Purple Wire : + DOOR TRIGGER

If the vehicle’s door courtesy light switches havea+12volt output when the door is opened ( most Fords and some Imports ), you must connect this wire to the positive output from one of the door switches. In most cases, the purple wire will only needs to be connected to one door switch, no matter how many doors the vehicle has. WARNING : Do not use the purple wire if the vehicle has ground output type door switches.

( see Brown Wire ).

Yellow Wire : + 12 VDC IGNITION SOURCE Connect this wire to a source that is live when the key is in the on and crank positions. Be sure that this source is off when the key is in the off position.

Dark Blue Wire : DELAYED 300 mA PULSED OUTPUT / CHANNEL 2 The dark blue wire pulses to ground via an independent RF channel from the keychain transmitter. This is a transistorized, low current output, and should only be used to drive an external relay coil.

WARNING: Connecting the dark blue wire to the high current switched output of trunk release circuits,

and some remote start trigger inputs, will damage the control module.

In these cases connect the dark blue wire to terminal 86 of the AS - 9256 relay (or equivalent 30 A automotive relay), and wire the remaining relay contacts to perform the selected function of channel 2.

Black Wire : CHASSIS GROUND Connect this wire to a solid, metal part of the vehicle’s chassis. Do not confuse this wire with the thin black antenna wire that exits the control module independently.

Orange Wire: 300 mA GROUND OUTPUT WHEN ARMED - N. C. STARTER DISABLE (Optional Relay Required)

This wire is provided to control the starter cut relay. Connect the orange wire to terminal 86 of the relay. Connect relay terminal 85 to an ignition wire in the vehicle that is live when the key is in the on and crank positions, and off when the key is in the off position. ( This is where the yellow wire from the alarm should be connected ).

Cut the low current starter solenoid wire in the vehicle, and connect one side of the cut wire to relay terminal 87A. Connect the other side of the cut wire to relay terminal 30.

Note : This is a normally closed starter cut arrangement, and when power is removed from the

security system, the starter disable feature will not operate, allowing the vehicle to start. Audiovox does not recommend using the Orange wire to interrupt anything but the starting circuit of the vehicle.

Brown Wire : - DOOR TRIGGER

If the vehicle’s courtesy light switches havea(-)ground output when the door is opened ( GM and most Imports ), you must connect this wire to the negative output from one of the door switches.

WARNING : Do not use the brown wire if the vehicle has + 12 volt output type door switches. ( see Purple Wire ).

Dark Green Wire : ( - ) Instant Trigger Zone 2 This is an instant on ground trigger wire. It must be connected to the previously installed hood and trunk pin switches.

Yellow w/ White Trace Wire : 300 mA GROUND OUTPUT DURING HI-JACK ACTIVE STATE (Optional Relay Required ). This wire provides a progressive output to control a relay which in turn will control the vehicle shut down circuit (Ignition or Fuel) during the Hi-Jack triggered mode. Connect the Yellow/White trace wire to terminal 86 of a relay. Connect relay terminal 85 to an ignition wire in the vehicle that is live when the key is in the on and crank positions, and off when the key is in the off position. ( This is where the yellow wire from the alarm should be connected ).

Cut the ignition or electric fuel pump feed wire at a convenient location in the vehicle. Connect one side of the cut wire to relay terminal 87. Connect the other side of the cut wire to relay terminal 30.

Note : This is a normally opened ignition/electric fuel pump inhibit arrangement. When power

is removed from the security system, the inhibit feature will remain operational, and the vehicle will not start or will not continue to run. Audiovox recommends redundant testing of your connections to the vehicle concerning this circuit as a poor connection will prevent the vehicle from starting.

2 Pin Blue Connector : VALET SWITCH

Route the grey and black wires in the 2 pin connector from the valet switch to the control module, and plug it into the mating blue connector on the side of the module.

2 Pin White Connector : DASH MOUNTED L.E.D. Route the red and blue wires in the 2 pin white connector from the L.E.D. to the control module, and plug it into the mating white connector on the side of the module.
