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 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 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.

OPTIONAL 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 8 Pin Edge Connector :

Red Fused Wire : + 12 VDC Constant Battery 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 to pin switches at all entry points, the voltage sense circuit must be disabled. Move dip switch#2totheoffposition, then connect the red wire toa+12VDCconstant battery source.

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.

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.

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.

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, some

remote start trigger inputs, will damage the control module.

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.

Dark Green w/ White Trace Wire : Entry Illumination ( 300 mA max. ) The dark green w/ white trace wire provides a 30 second ground signal whenever the system is disarmed, and pulses ground whenever the system is triggered.

It should be used to provide the ( optional ) entry lighting, and to flash the vehicle’s dome light while the alarm is sounding. This is a transistorized, low current output, and should only be used to drive an external relay coil.

Connect the dark green with white trace wire to terminal 86 of the AS - 9256 relay ( or equivalent 30 A automotive relay ), and wire the remaining relay contacts according to the polarity of the dome light circuit in the vehicle.

NOTE : When wiring this feature in vehicles with factory equipped delay lighting circuits, it is best

to connect to the output of the timer which feeds the dome light, rather than at the door switch. This will ensure that the dome light pulses when the alarm is triggered.
