The PRO-9600 is a full featured security system with on board paging technology that provides the consumer a direct link
to their vehicle from anywhere in the world. This patent pending technology allows the user to operate the vehicle from any
land or mobile telephone. The vehicle's owner can command the security system to arm or disarm, release the trunk, start
the vehicle, and in case of a carjacking, can put the PRO-9600 in a special carjack mode that will flash the lights, sound the
siren and prevent restarting of the vehicle.
NOTE: Many of the paging features available to the consumer are part of the alarm functions of the unit. Features such as
lock / unlock, arm, disarm, carjack, and reset will be available after installation with no special consideration on the part of
the installing technician. There are three additional auxiliary outputs accessible by paging the PRO-9600 that will require
some consideration. The Alarm's receiver channels 2, 3, and 4, are the same as paging auxiliary functions 1, 2, and 3.
These outputs, when connected to the vehicle, MUST BE NOTED on the Owners Guide, Rear Page Of This Manual and on
the Paging Registration Guide. Additionally, access from the RF transmitter may provide a latched output from these
channels however access from the paging network will only provide a 800 ms pulsed output. Please note this as it may
effect the options that you connect to these output wires. Each wire is referenced individually later in this manual.

MOUNTING THE COMPONENTS:

CONTROL MODULE:

Select a mounting location inside the passenger compartment up and behind the dashboard. The mounting location
selected must consider routing of the antenna to allow it to be fully extended, away from metal which may shield it, and as
high as possible to insure the best RF reception and operating range. Additional consideration should be made to keep the
control module away from on-board computers. These devices have local oscillators which may produce RF and inhibit or
limit reception.
Be certain that the chosen location will not interfere with proper operation of the vehicle. Avoid mounting the module to or
routing the wiring around the steering shaft/column, as the module's wiring may wrap around or block the steering wheel
preventing proper control of the vehicle. Secure the module in the chosen location using cable ties or screws as necessary.
Do Not Mount The Module In The Engine Compartment, it is not waterproof.

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 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 self taping screws or, 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, then mount
the siren using #8 sheet metal screws.

HOOD AND TRUNK PIN SWITCHES:

The pin switches included in this package are intended for protecting the hood and trunk 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 activating the alarm. Mount the switches under the hood and in the trunk compartment in
locations away from water drain paths. If necessary, the included brackets 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 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.

DASH MOUNTED L.E.D:

The small red LED included in the kit will serve as a visual indicator of the alarm's status and provide 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 dash in an area highly visible so that it may be seen from the driver's seat as well as from
outside the vehicle. Inspect behind the chosen location to insure that the drill will not penetrate any existing factory wiring
or fluid lines. Carefully drill a 1/4" hole in the desired location and pass the connector end of the LED through the hole and
toward the control module. Press the LED firmly into place until it is fully seated in the mounting hole.

VALET/PROGRAM SWITCH:

Select a mounting location that is easily accessible to the operator of the vehicle. 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, as well 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 underside. 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 switches's connector toward the control module.

SHOCK SENSOR:

Select a centrally located, solid mounting surface for the shock sensor that will allow consistent operation from all areas of
the vehicle. The selected location must be within 18" of the control module to allow routing and connecting of the 4 pin
harness. Secure the shock sensor to the chosen location using two #8 self taping sheet metal screws. The sensor can
also be secured to an existing dash brace using cable tie straps. Whichever mounting method is used, be sure to allow
access to the sensitivity adjustment potentiometer for use later in the installation.

STARTER INHIBIT RELAY:

Select a mounting location within 12" of the ignition switches low current start solenoid wire. Secure the relay to an existing
harness in the chosen location using a cable tie around the relay's wiring harness. Caution! Do not wire tie the metal
bracket to an existing wiring harness as vibration may cause chaffing and shorting damaging the factory wiring. If an
existing harness is not available then secure the relay's metal mounting tab to an under dash metal brace with a #8 self
taping sheet metal screw. Wire the relay as per the diagram found later in this manual.
NOTE: Before connecting the module, pre-select all the wires in the vehicle. First, using a digital VOM, test all the wires
you intend to connect to in the vehicle. Disconnect the vehicle battery and complete all wiring to the vehicle before
connecting the control module to the harness connectors. This will prevent the pager from activating during the installa­tion. Once all wiring is complete and the module is connected, disarm the unit immediately before proceeding with the
testing of the unit.

WIRING THE CONTROL MODULE:
8 Pin Main Wiring Harness
Red w/White Trace: + 12 volts Battery Source

Connect this wire to a constant + 12 VDC source found at the vehicles ignition switch using the 5 Amp fuse and holder
provided.

Orange Wire: Ground When Armed Output
This wire provides a 300 mA ground output when the alarm circuit is armed to control the starter inhibit relay. Connect the
Orange wire to terminal #86 (orange wire) of the previously installed starter interrupt relay. Connect terminal #85 (red wire)
of the relay to an ignition wire in the vehicle that is live when the ignition switch is turned to the on and start positions and
off when the key is off. Locate and cut the low current start solenoid wire found at the vehicles ignition switch harness. This
wire will have + 12 volts when the ignition key is moved to the start (crank) position and will have 0 volts in all other key
positions. Connect one side of the cut wire to terminal #87a ( Black wire) of the relay. Connect the other side of the cut wire
to terminal #30 (White/Black wire) of the relay.

Green w/ White trace Wire: Entry Illumination Ground Output
This wire provides a 30 second ground output (300 mA Max.) whenever the remote is used to disarm the alarm or to unlock
the doors and provides a continuous pulsed output whenever the alarm is triggered. This wire should be connected to an
external relay and wired to the vehicles interior entry lighting whenever the optional Interior Illumination circuit is desired.

Dark Blue Wire: Delayed 300mA Pulsed Channel 2 Output
The Dark Blue channel 2 output wire supplies a 300mA ground pulsed output whenever channel two of the receiver is
accessed. Pressing the pre-programmed transmitter button for three seconds will access channel two. Channel 2 is also
considered auxiliary output 1 available by satellite paging to the vehicle. Whether accessing this output form the key chain
transmitter or via the satellite paging network, the Dark Blue wire will provide a 800ms pulsed ground output. 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 + 12 volt battery source. Connect the common, normally open, and normally closed contacts of the relay to
perform the selected function of channel 2.

White w/ Black Trace W ire: Positive (+) Siren Output

This is the positive siren feed wire. Route this wire through a grommet in the firewall to the siren location. Connect the White
w/ Black Trace wire to the Red wire of the Siren. Secure the Black wire of the Siren to a known chassis ground or solid clean
metal surface.
Black Wire: Chassis Ground Source
Connect the Black wire to a known vehicle ground source or to a solid clean metal part of the chassis. Be certain to remove any
paint or grease and secure this wire with a self taping screw and ring terminal.
2 White Wires: Low Current Directional Light Flash Output Wires
The PRO-9600 provides two different and distinguishable light flash patterns. During normal arming and disarming, a standard
alarm flash pattern is observed. When the unit is placed in a theft mode, from the paging network, a special light flash pattern,
(S.O.S.) is observed. This highly recognizable and very different flash pattern is necessary to distinguish a vehicle theft from a
vehicle break-in.
You must consider that the parking lights may be in the on position if the vehicle is carjacked or stolen, In this application
special consideration for wiring of the light flash circuit must be made. Audiovox advises that the directional element of the
bulbs be used in all cases to insure that this light flash pattern will be operational in all situations.
The two White wires provide, ( 300mA) low current pulsed ground outputs to control the light flash patterns. In all cases relays
must be used.
Three of the most common directional circuits available in today's vehicles are:

1. Four Independent Bulbs, LF,LR,RF,RR.

2. Left Front And Rear Common / Right Front And Rear Common

3. Rear Common Front Independent.
Wiring for these circuits are shown later in this manual.

10 Pin Mini Wiring Harness:
Light Blue Wire: Low Current Latching Output / Channel 4

The Light Blue, channel 4 output wire latches to ground via an independent RF channel from the keychain transmitter. Channel
4 is also considered the Auxiliary 3 output available by satellite paging to the vehicle. When operating this channel from the
paging network, this output will be a pulsed 800ms output. Consider this when connecting to an accessory in the vehicle. Be
certain to list the function of this output in the Owners Manual, Owners Paging Manual, and on the rear page of this manual.
This wire provides an immediate ground signal, and remains grounded as long as the transmitter button(s) is held. This is a low
current (300mA) output and in all cases will be used to drive an external relay coil. To use the Light Blue wire, connect it to
terminal # 86 of a P&BVF45F11 or equivalent relay. Connect terminal # 85 of the relay to a fused + 12 volt battery source.
Connect terminal # 30 of the relay to ground or a fused + 12 volt battery source, dependent upon the device in the vehicle you
wish to control. Connect terminal # 87 to the vehicle's switched device's control wire.
Dark Green w/ Black Trace Wire: low Current Latching Output / Channel 3
The Dark Green w/ Black trace, channel 3 output wire latches to ground via an independent RF channel from the keychain
transmitter. Channel 3 is also considered the Auxiliary 2 output available by satellite paging to the vehicle. When operating this
channel from the paging network, this output will be a pulsed 800ms output. Consider this when connecting to an accessory in
the vehicle. Be certain to list the function of this output in the Owners Manual, Owners Paging Manual, and on the rear page of
this manual.
This wire provides an immediate ground signal, and remains grounded as long as the transmitter button(s) is held. This is a low
current (300mA) output and in all cases will be used to drive an external relay coil. To use the Dark Green w/ Black Trace wire,
connect it to terminal # 86 of a P&BVF45F11 or equivalent relay. Connect terminal # 85 of the relay to a fused + 12 volt battery
source. Connect terminal # 30 of the relay to ground or a fused + 12 volt source, dependent upon the device in the vehicle you
wish to control. Connect terminal # 87 to the vehicle's switched device's control wire.
Black w/ White Trace Wire: 300mA Ground Horn Output
The Black w/ White Trace wire will provide a pulsed ground output which can be used to sound the vehicle's horn. This is a low
current (300mA) output and must be connected to a relay for proper operation. Most vehicles have a horn relay connected to
the horn switch. If the existing relay requires less than 300 mA then direct connection to the horn wire is possible. If the vehicle
horn does not switch a existing low current relay or if the horn circuit is + 12 volts switched, you must connect the Black w/ White
Trace wire to a external relay coil. When connecting to an external relay, connect the Black w/ White Trace wire to terminal #
86 of a P&B VF45F11 or equivalent relay. Connect terminal # 85 to a fused +12 volt battery source. Arrange terminals # 30 &
# 87 to switch ground or + 12 volts as necessary for the horn circuit you are connecting to.
Orange w/ White Trace Wire: Low Current Ground When Disarmed Output
The Orange w/ White Trace wire provides a ground output when the security system is disarmed. This low current (300mA),
output may be used to control a normally open Starter Inhibit Circuit where desired. To use the Orange w/ White Trace wire,
Connect the Orange w/ White Trace wire to terminal # 86 of a P&BVF45F11 or equivalent relay. Connect terminal # 85 of the
relay to an ignition wire in the vehicle that has + 12 volts when the ignition key is in the on and start positions and has 0 volts in
the off and accessory positions. Locate and cut the low current start solenoid wire found at the vehicles ignition switch harness.
Connect terminal # 30 of the relay to the ignition switch side of the cut wire. Connect terminal # 87 of the relay to the starter side
of the cut wire.
NOTE: This normally open starter cut relay arrangement will prevent the vehicle from starting if the control module or wiring to
the control module is disconnected or removed. Audiovox does not recommend the use of this circuit to interrupt anything but
the starting circuit of the vehicle.
