Model APS-45
Installation Manual
Keyless Entry System
With Two Auxiliary Outputs
Installation Instructions
This Unit Is Intended For Installation In Vehicles With
12 Volt Negative Ground Electrical Systems Only.
Kit Contents:
The APS-45 Keyless Entry System is designed to provide a convenient electronic means to gain access to the vehicle by providing RF remote control over the vehicle's power door lock system. The unit also includes outputs to control the vehicle's dome lights, as well as exterior parking lights. Although not an alarm system, the APS-45 also incudes a starter interrupt circuit output. It also includes two additional auxiliary outputs designed to allow for control over optional devices such as a power trunk release or engine starting device.
BEFORE BEGINNING THE INSTALLATION:
1. Control Module Dash Mounted L.E.D. Valet / Manual Override Switch
2. Determine the type of factory power door lock system in use. Knowing the type of system up front before
beginning the installation can make the installation easier and faster since you can build whatever interface (if needed) beforehand.
3. Determine whether the vehicle includes a power trunk release system, and if so what type it is.
INSTALLATION OF COMPONENTS: CONTROL MODULE:
The Control Module is NOT waterproof, DO NOT mount it in the Engine Compartment. Select a mounting location under the dashboard. Choose a mounting location that will not interfere with proper operation of the vehicle's steering column mechanism, and brake and gas pedals. Secure the Control Module in the chosen location. Wait until all components have been installed and all connections made before plugging in the main connectors.
DASH MOUNTED L.E.D.:
The small Red LED included in the kit serves as a visual indicator of the system's status and provides a visual deterrent to a potential thief. The LED also provides important feed back information during the transmitter and feature program modes. The LED should be installed in the dashboard in a highly visible area that may be seen from the driver’s seat as well as from outside the vehicle. Try to choose a location close enough to the Control Module so that the LED's wires will reach. Carefully inspect the area behind your chosen location to insure that the drill will not penetrate any existing factory wiring or fluid lines. Drill a 1/4" hole and pass the connector end of the LED through the hole, and route the wires toward the location of the Control Module. Press the LED firmly into place until it is fully seated.
VALET / MANUAL OVERRIDE SWITCH :
Since much of the use of this switch by the vehicle operator requires concurrent operation of the ignition key switch, it is recommended that the Valet / Manual Override Switch be placed such that it can be reached by the driver's left hand, while they operate the ignition key switch with their right hand. The switch can be mounted to the lower dash panel in the drivers area. Inspect behind the chosen location to insure that adequate clearance is allowed for the body of the switch, and also that the drill will not penetrate any existing factory wiring or fluid lines. Drill a 1/4" hole in the desired location and mount the switch by passing it through the panel from the opposite side. Secure the switch using the nut, star washer, and on/off face plate. It is suggested that the switch be oriented to allow the on position to be up toward the driver and the off position to be down or away from the driver. Route the switch’s wires and connector toward the location of the Control Module.
RED Wire (Connects to RED/WHITE wire at harness plug): Main 12 Volt Input Wire These are the main power input wires for the APS-45 system. Both wires connect to a separate fuse holder contained in the harness. These fuse holders each hold a separate ATC fuse, one 5AMP and one 10AMP. This RED wire must be connected to a constant power wire at the vehicle's ignition switch harness or fusebox. Locate a constant power wire at the vehicle's ignition switch harness. This wire will read +12VDC at all times, regardless of the position of the ignition key switch. Attach the RED wire of the harness to this point by splicing and taping the connection.
YELLOW Wire: Ignition Input Wire This wire provides the APS-45 system with an ignition power input from the vehicle. Connect this wire to the Ignition wire (primary ignition wire) from the ignition switch. This vehicle wire will show +12VDC when the ignition key is turned to the "ON" or "RUN" position to the "OFF" and "ACCESSORY" positions. Locate an ignition power wire at the vehicle's ignition switch harness. By splicing and taping the connection, attach the YELLOW wire of the system to this point.
WHITE Wire: Positive Parking Light Flash Wire This wire is designed to output a +12VDC positive light flash output, driven by the APS-45's internal relay, to be connected directly to the vehicle's positive parking light circuit. Once the wire is located, confirm that all the vehicle's parking lights will illuminate when +12VDC is connected to it. NOTE: Some vehicles, (mostly European) have isolated "left" and "right" side parking lights. To connect to the parking
and
when turned to the "START" or CRANK" positions, and will have 0VDC when the key is turned

light systems in these vehicles, you must use a separate SPDT relays to connect to each side in order to keep them isolated. Attach the WHITE wire of the system to this point.
BROWN Wire: Negative (-) Door Sense Input Wire If the vehicle's interior lights are controlled by vehicles), the Brown cases the factory door pinswitches are wired in parallel, making it necessary to connect to only one door switch in order to detect the opening of all doors. In a few cases this will not be true, making it necessary to connect to the vehicle dome light, which typically is the intersection point of all doors. Locate the vehicle's negative door trigger wire in the vehicle's kick panel or underdash. Connect the BROWN wire of the system to this point.
PURPLE Wire: Positive (+) Door Sense Input Wire If the vehicle's interior lights are controlled by
positive
Purple door pinswitches are wired in parallel, making it necessary to connect to only one door switch in order to detect the opening of all doors. In a few cases this will not be true, making it necessary to connect to the vehicle domelight, which typically is the intersection point of all doors. Locate the vehicle's positive door trigger wire in the vehicle's kickpanel or underdash. Using the appropriate connector, attach the PURPLE wire of the system to this point.
BLACK Wire: Main System Ground This is one of the most important wires of the APS-45 installation. It must be connected properly to a solid chassis ground.
Special care must be taken to locate a clean metal part of the chassis as an attachment point for this wire. Some installers prefer to locate a sturdy metal bolt under the dashboard or at the kickpanel, and use it as the attachment point.
If you find a suitable factory bolt that reads ground when tested, attach a ring terminal connector to the Black wire, remove the bolt, place the ring terminal over the bolt and reinstall it, tightening it securely. If you choose instead to drill your own mounting hole into the vehicle's chassis, be certain to remove any paint or grease and secure the ring terminal.
BLACK/WHITE Wire: Horn/Siren Output Wire This wire provides a ground output (300 mA Max.) designed to drive a relay, which in turn can drive either the vehicle's horn
or an optional electronic siren. Depending upon which sounding device you decide to drive, the Black/White output wire must first be programmed to control either the Horn or the Siren. The factory default setting is for the wire to control the horn. Please refer to the section titled; "Programming System Features" later on in this manual for the programming procedure.
To connect this output to drive a vehicle horn, locate the vehicle's horn wire, almost always a negative switched wire, (typically found among the wires of the steering column), and connect it.
BLACK/WHITE Wire: Horn/Siren Output Wire This wire provides a ground output (300 mA). To connect this output to drive an optional siren, a relay must be used to
convert the negative output to a positive output. The output wire must be programmed for siren output. Please refer to the section titled; "Programming System Features" later on in this manual for the programming procedure.
Find a suitable mounting location for the siren and mount it properly. Run the siren's positive wire into the passenger compartment to the location of the APS-45, and connect it to the additional relay.
GREEN/WHITE: Dome Light Supervision Output Wire This wire provides a 30 second ground output (300 mA Max.) whenever the remote is used to unlock the doors with the APS-45. This allows for the illumination of the vehicle's interior before entry. It also provides a flashing output that duplicates the parking light output flash rate whenever the "Panic Mode" is engaged. This wire must be connected to an external relay, and wired to the vehicle's interior entry lighting whenever the optional Interior Illumination feature circuit is desired.
DARK BLUE Wire: Delayed 300mA Pulsed, Channel 2 Output The Dark Blue wire supplies a 300mA ground pulsed output whenever channel two of the receiver is accessed. Pressing transmitter Button 2 for three seconds will access Channel 2. This is a low current output and must be connected to a relay to supply power to the trunk release or the circuit you wish to control. Connect the Dark Blue wire to terminal # 86 of a VF45F11 P&B relay or equivalent. Connect terminal # 85 of the relay to a fused +12VDC source. Connect the common, normally open, and normally closed contacts of the relay to perform the selected function of Channel 2.
GREEN/BLACK Wire: Immediate, 300mA Duration of Transmit, Channel 3 Output The Green/Black wire supplies a 300mA switched output whenever Channel 3 of the receiver is accessed. Pressing both
negative
door sense wire should connect to one of the vehicle's factory door pin switches. In many cases the factory
door sense wire should connect to one of the vehicle's factory door pin switches. In many
