Congratulations on the purchase of your new Audiovox Alarm System. Taking a few minutes to
read this installation and owners guide will provide you with the detailed information concerning all the
features of your new alarm system.

MOUNTING THE SIREN/CONTROL MODULE

1. Choose a location that is away from hot and mov­ing parts considering the Red wire length must be
connected to the to the positive terminal of the bat­tery . Prevent access to the siren as much as pos­sible, by mounting in a hidden location. Typical
locations are underneath the gas tank, seat or ex­terior body panels. Avoid areas which are sub­jected to water, engine heat or grease.

2. The internal tilt sensor will be most sensitive when
the siren is oriented so that it is pointed toward the
front or rear of the motorcycle.

3. Once you have selected a location, inspect the area
to ensure that drilling the two required holes to
mount the bracket will not penetrate wiring or fluid
lines. Drill two 1/8" holes into the mounting sur­face on the motor cycle. Attach the bracket using
the two screws provided. Mount the siren to the
bracket using the two screws provided. Point the
siren horn (front) downward or forward for the great­est volume in the event of an alarm.

WIRING THE SIREN (Refer to Figure 1 Overall Wir­ing Diagram)

use an alternate +12 volt constant source such as
the fuse panel or the ignition switch. Be sure to wire
the 1 Amp fuse (included) as close to the battery con­nection as possible.

RED:

Using the attached wire lug, connect the Red wire of
the siren to the positive terminal of the battery . If you
are familiar with your motorcycle's wiring, you may

BLACK (LONG):

Using the attached wire lug, connect the Black (long)
wire of the siren to the negative terminal of the battery or
a good ground source.

BLACK (SHORT):

Stretch the short Black antenna wire as long as pos­sible, avoiding metal contact if possible. This is the an­tenna wire for the alarm system; route it as high as
possible!

ORANGE:

This wire is used to connect the alarm system to the
motorcycle's ignition system Refer to Figure 2. This
wire must be connected for the emergency override to
function properly in case the transmitter is lost or sto­len. When connected to the ignition switch, the wire is
connected as is. The wire contains a series resistor.
The resistor will get hot of an attempt is made to steal
the motorcycle, so make sure it is not located near low­temperature material.

BROWN/BLACK:

This wire is used when an additional horn is connected
to the alarm system. To connect an additional horn, a
relay is required (included in the kit). The relay may be
used as a horn, park light or starter kill. The relay , when­ever possible, should be protected from water, engine
heat or grease. NOTE:

able as part #AS-9256.

Additional relays are avail-

Refer to Figure 4 and the ac­companying instructions for connecting the horn relay
feature.

WHITE:

This wire is used to connect the alarm system to the
motorcycle's turn signal/running lights. This feature re­quires a relay (included in the kit). The relay may be
used as a horn, park light or starter kill. The relay , when­ever possible, should be protected from water, engine
heat or grease. The relay should be mounted as near to
the lights as possible. NOTE:

available as part #AS-9256.

Additional relays are

This wire can also be connected to disable the starter
or ignition. To disable a circuit on the motorcycle, a re­lay is required (included in the kit). The relay may be
used as a horn, park light or starter kill. The relay , when­ever possible, should be protected from water, engine
heat or grease. NOTE:

able as part #AS-9256.

Additional relays are avail-

Additionally , the wire must be
cut to remove the series resistor. The wire will then be
connected to the optional relay . Refer to Figure 5.

MOUNTING A RELAY
To mount a relay:

1. Screw the relay to the mounting surface, using a sheet

metal screw through the hole in the relay mounting tab.

2. Secure the relay to an existing wire harness or other

component using cable ties. Refer to Figure 3.

CONNECTING THE RELAY (HORN FEATURE)
IMPORTANT! The relay has been shipped with the

BLACK wire loaded into terminal 87a
of the Relay Socket. The wire must
be removed from this location and
placed into the outer terminal of the
Relay Harness 87.

1. Connect the ORANGE wire from the relay harness
to the BROWN/BLACK wire from the main harness.
Be sure to insulate this splice with electrical tape.
Refer to Figure 4.

2. Gain access to the wires coming from the back of
the horn. Beep the horn and locate the wire that
changes polarity when the horn beeps. If the voltage
goes low when beeping, then the horn is switched
by a ground signal. If the voltage goes high when
beeping, then the horn is switched by +12 volts.
Connect the BLACK wire from the relay socket to
this wire, and insulate the connection with electrical
tape. Connect the WHITE/BLACK wire to ground or
+12V as required by the horn.
