Remote Vehicle Alarm System
With Channel 2 Auxiliary Output
Installation Instructions
This Unit Is Intended For Installation In Vehicles With
12 Volt Negative Ground Electrical Systems Only
Kit Contents:
The EX-6000 Vehicle Alarm System is designed to provide a basic deterrent to vehicle theft, and 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 parking lights, and an additional auxiliary output designed to allow for control over an optional device such as a power trunk release or engine starting device.
BEFORE BEGINNING THE INST ALLATION:
1) Find locations to mount the following items: Control Module Electronic Siren Dash Mounted L.E.D. V alet/Program/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.
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, brake and gas pedals. Secure the Control Module in the chosen location. Wait until all components have been installed and all connections are made before plugging in the main connectors.
SIREN:
Select a location in the engine compartment that is not accessible from below the vehicle. The selected location must be clear of hot or moving parts within the engine compartment The siren must be pointed downward to prevent water retention and the flared end must be pointed away from and out of the engine compartment for maximum sound distribution. Before securing the siren, check behind your chosen location to assure that the mounting screws will not penetrate any factory wiring or fluid lines. Secure the siren mounting bracket using #8 screws by first using the mounting bracket as a template, scribe or mark the three bracket mounting holes. Drill the three marked holes using a 1/8" drill bit, than mount the siren using #8 sheet metal screws.
VALET/PROGRAM/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 V alet/Program/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. It is also highly recommended that this switch be concealed to provide the highest level of security. The switch can be mounted to the lower dash panel in the driver's 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, star­washer, 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.
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.
HOOD AND TRUNK PIN SWITCHES:
The pin switch included in this package is intended for protecting the hood or trunk/hatch areas of the vehicle. In all cases, the switch must be mounted to a grounded metal surface. When the pin switch is activated, (hood/trunk open), it will supply a ground to the input wire thus activating the alarm. Mount the switches in the hood or trunk locations away from water drain paths. If necessary , the included bracket may be used to move the switch away from rain gutters or allow mounting to the firewall behind the hood seal. In both cases the switch must be set up to allow the hood or trunk door to depress the switch at least 1/4 inch when the hood or trunk is closed and fully extended when the hood or trunk is opened. For direct mounting, a 1/4 inch hole must be drilled. Carefully check behind the chosen location to insure the drill will not penetrate any existing factory wiring or fluid lines. Drill a 1/4" hole in the desired location and thread the pin switch into it using a 7/16" nut driver or deep well socket. If using the mounting bracket, first secure the bracket to the desired location and secure the pin switch in the pre-threaded mounting bracket hole.
WIRING CONNECTIONS: RED Wire (Connects to RED/WHITE wire at harness plug): Main Power Input Wire
These are the main power input wires for the EX-6000 system. Both wires connect to a separate fuseholder contained in the harness. These fuseholders each hold a separate ATC fuse, one 5AMP and one 15AMP. This RED wire must be connected to a constant power wire at the vehicle's ignition switch harness or fusebox. Most vehicles have at least one battery source wire supplying power to the ignition switch.
Locate a constant power wire or power taping point either at the vehicle's ignition switch harness or fuseblock. This wire will read +12VDC at all times, regardless of the position of the ignition key switch. Splice and tape the RED wire of the harness to this point.
YELLOW Wire: Ignition Input Wire This wire provides the EX-6000 system with an ignition power input from the vehicle. Connect this wire to
the 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
and
when turned to the "ST A R T" or CRANK" positions, and
will have 0VDC when the key is turned to the "OFF" and "ACCESSORY" positions. Locate an ignition power wire at the vehicle's ignition switch harness. Splice and tape the YELLOW wire
of the system to this point. WHITE Wire: Positive Parking Light Flash Wire
This wire is designed to provide a +12VDC positive light flash output, driven by the EX-6000's internal relay , to be connected directly to the vehicle's positive parking light circuit. Once the feedpoint 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 light systems in these vehicles, you must use 2 separate SPDT or DPST relays to connect one to each side in order to keep them isolated.
Locate a parking light feedpoint and attach the WHITE wire of the system to this point. BROWN Wire: Negative (-) Door Trigger Input Wire
If the vehicle's interior lights are controlled by and import vehicles), the Brown
negative
grounding
door pin-switches (typical of most GM, Dodge,
door trigger wire should connect to one of the vehicle's factory
door pin switches. In many cases the factory door pin-switches are wired in parallel, making it necessary
