INST ALLATION 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. Y ou 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. A void areas near high heat components or moving parts within the engine compartment. T o prevent water retention, the front or sounding 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 drilling a ¼ “ 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 LED:

A small LED 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.

Drill a ¼ “ diameter hole and pass the red and blue wires from the LED through the hole, from the front of the panel. Firmly press the body of the LED 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 drilling a ¼ “ 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.

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 Large 15 Pin Edge Connector:

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 Fused Wire: + 12 VDC CONST ANT BA TTERY SOURCE This wire controls the sensitivity of the voltage sensing circuit, which detects the turning on of an interior

light when a door is opened. It 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, the voltage sense circuit must be disabled. After wiring of the control module and connecting the Red wire to a fused battery source, be certain program feature # six is set for Hardwire.

Red/White Wire: DELA YED 300 mA PULSED OUTPUT / CHANNEL 2 This wire pulses to ground via an independent RF channel from the keychain transmitter. This is a transis-

torized, low current output and should only be used to drive an external relay coil. WARNING: Connecting this wire to the high current switched output of trunk release circuits, some remote

Connect this wire to terminal 86 of the AS - 9256 relay (or equivalent 30A automotive relay) and wire the remaining relay contacts to perform the selected function of channel 2.

Brown Wire: POSITIVE OUTPUT TO SIREN Route this wire through a rubber grommet in the firewall, and to the siren location. Connect the brown wire to the positive wire of the siren. Secure the black ground wire of the siren to

chassis ground. 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 .

Yellow W ire: + 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. Blue Wire: ( - ) INST ANT TRIGGER ZONE

This is an instant on ground trigger wire. It must be connected to the previously installed hood and trunk pin switches.

start trigger inputs, will damage the control module.
