PRO-9744

The PRO-9744 Remote Control Security System has been designed as a completely configurable system that will meet the needs of any consumer. In addition to the many programmable features of the unit, the system offers a transmitter membrane button replacement program. This will allows you to configure the button's of the transmitter to coincide with configured operation of the system.

INST ALLATION OF THE MAJOR COMPONENTS:

CONTROL MODULE:

Select a mounting location inside the passenger compartment (up behind the dashboard). The mounting location selected must insure that the module 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 or 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, as 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 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 in the hood and trunk 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 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.

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 drivers 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 / MANUAL OVERRIDE SWITCH :

Select a mounting location that is easily accessible to the operator of the vehicle. It is not necessary to conceal the switch however concealment is recommended as it offers a higher 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, 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/of f 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 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.

ST ARTER INHIBIT RELAY:

Select a mounting location within 12" of the ignition switch's low current start solenoid wire. Secure the relay to an existing harness in the chosen location using a cable tie around the relays 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.

WIRING THE CONTROL MODULE: 8 PIN MAIN WIRING HARNESS: RED w/ WHITE Trace Wire: + 12 Volts Battery Source

The Red w/ White trace wire is the main 12 volt supply for the control module. Connect the RED wire with the 5 Amp fuse to a constant + 12 volt battery source. 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 relay provided. 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 vehicle's interior lighting circuit whenever the optional Interior Illumination circuit is desired. DARK BLUE Wire: 300mA Channel 3 Ground Output The Dark Blue wire supplies a 300mA ground output whenever channel three of the receiver is accessed. This output is programmable for pulsed output or switched output and can be selected to operate from a double push of the transmitter or a 2 second press & hold. 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 source. Connect the common, normally open, and normally closed contacts of the relay to perform the selected function of channel 3. T o access this channel see section on receiver and transmitter configuration and programming shown later in this manual. WHITE w/ BLACK Trace Wire: + 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: 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. WHITE Wire: + 12 Volt Parking Light Flash Output This wire is the normally open contact of the on board parking light flasher relay. Connect this wire to the vehicle's parking light feed wire. This is the wire that gets + 12 volts from the parking light switch. RED Wire: + 12 Volt Park Light Input This is the on-board light flash relay + 12 volt input. This wire connects to the common contact of the internal relay.

This circuit is designed for a pulsed 15 Amp maximum current rating. Connect the Red wire with the 15 Amp fuse to a constant + 12 volt supply . If it becomes necessary to replace the fuse in this wire, a fuse rated for 15 Amps maximum is to be used.

WIRING THE 10 PIN MINI WIRING HARNESS GREEN w/ BLACK Trace Wire: 300 mA Channel 6 Ground Output

The Green w/ Black Trace wire supplies 300mA pulsed ground output whenever channel 6 of the receiver is accessed. This output is pre-programmed to operate from a double push of the programmed transmitter button. This is a low current output and must be connected to a relay to supply power to the circuit you wish to control. Connect the Green w/ Black trace wire to terminal # 86 of a VF45F1 1 P&B relay or equivalent. Connect terminal # 85 of the relay to a fused + 12 volt source. Connect the common, normally open, and normally closed contacts of the relay to perform the selected function of control module's channel 4 output. To access this channel see section on receiver and transmitter configuration and programming shown later in this manual. To access this channel see section on receiver and transmitter configuration and programming shown later in this manual.

BLACK w/WHITE Trace Wire:

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 (300 mA) 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 T race 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:

The Orange w/ White Trace wire provides a ground output when the security system is disarmed. This low current (300 mA), 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&B VF45F11 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 vehicle's 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. DARK GREEN Wire: (-) Instant Trigger Zone 2 Input The Dark Green wire is the instant on ground trigger input wire. Connect this wire to the hood and trunk pin switches previously installed. Note: This wire will be shunted whenever the receiver's R.F . Channels 3 or 6 are accessed, (Dark Blue & Green w/ Black trace wires.). These wire will remain shunted all the while there is ground present, and for 5

seconds after the ground is removed. This allows the operator to open the trunk, remote start the vehicle, etc.... via

the remote transmitter without having to first disarm the alarm system. BROWN Wire: (-) Negative Door Trigger Input If the vehicle's door courtesy light switches ground when the door is opened, (Most GMs and Imports), Connect this wire to the negative output from one of the vehicle's door pin switches. In most cases the Brown wire will need to be connected to only one door switch no matter how many doors the vehicle has as most door lighting circuits are wired in parallel. PURPLE Wire: (+) Positive Door Trigger Input If the vehicle's door courtesy light switches + 12 volts when the door is opened, (Most Fords and some Imports), Connect this wire to the positive output from one of the vehicle's door pin switches. In most cases, the Purple wire will need to be connected to only one door switch no matter how many doors the vehicle has as most door lighting circuits are wired in parallel. YELLOW Wire: (+) 12 Volts Ignition Switch Input Connect this wire to a source in the vehicle that is live when the ignition switch is in the on, and start positions, and has

0 volts when the switch is turned off.

WHITE w/ BLUE Trace Wire: Low Current (-) Ground Headlight Output

The White w/ Blue Trace wire is provided to operate the optional headlamp illumination feature of the system. This is a low current (300 mA) output and must be connected to an external relay to control the high current switching circuit of the vehicle's headlamps. To use this option, Connect the White /w Blue Trace wire to terminal # 86 of a P&B VF45F11 relay or equivalent. Connect Terminals #85 and # 30 to a fused + 12 Volts source with a current capability equal to or in excess of the factory headlamp fuse. Connect terminal # 87 of the relay to the switched + 12 volt wire feeding the vehicle's headlamp circuit. (See receiver programming channel 4 and module programming features 1 & 2 for additional information.) NOTE: For ground switched headlamp circuits, Connect the White /w Blue Trace wire to terminal # 86 of a P&B VF45F1 1 relay or equivalent. Connect Terminal #85 to a fused + 12 V olts source. Connect terminal # 30 to a clean chassis ground. Connect terminal # 87 to the ground switched headlamp control wire in the vehicle. LIGHT GREEN Wire: (-) Instant Trigger Zone 1 Input This is a instant on ground trigger input intended for the connection of optional triggering devices. The ground trigger output wire of motion detectors, microwave detectors, or glass break detectors, can be connected to this Light Green trigger input wire. If more than one device is connected to this wire, diode isolation may be necessary.

2 Pin LED Connector:

Plug the two pin LED connector from the previously installed LED into the mating two pin white connector shell of the control module. 2 Pin Valet/Manual Override/Program Switch: (Blue Connector) The Black & Grey twin lead wires loaded in the two pin blue connector are the ground supply and program/valet/ override input of the PRO-9744. When the Grey wire is grounded, under certain conditions, the unit will enter the valet mode. When the Grey wire is sequentially grounded under other conditions, the unit will enter the various program modes. When the switch is on, i.e.. grey wire is grounded, within 15 seconds of the ignition switch turning on, the unit will disarm from the armed state. Route the twin lead Black and Grey wires from the Valet/Program/ Override Switch to the PRO-9744 and plug the two pin connector into the mating blue connector shell of the control module. Refer to remote programming & feature/function programming shown later in this guide.

3 Pin Door Unlock Output Harness:

The 3 pin door unlock output harness serves as the primary (all door) unlock output, or 1st door unlock output in a 2 step unlock circuit, depending on how the system is configured. This circuit is capable of switching up to 12 Amps and can be used to operate 3 wire ground, 3 wire positive or 5 wire alternate door unlock circuits. If you are configuring the system for 2 step unlock, (drivers door first then all remaining doors), see diagram below. In addition see section below referring to the 2nd unlock output. BLUE Wire: Normally Closed Contact. The Blue wire of the three pin connector is the normally closed contact of the primary unlock relay. If the circuit is to be configured as a 2 step unlock system, this wire will connect to the switch side of the cut driver's door motor leg wire as shown in the following diagrams. If the system is to be configured to unlock all doors with one transmitter button activation, this wire will not be used for three wire switching circuits but will be used in five wire door unlock configurations. WHITE Wire: Common Contact The White wire of the three pin connector is the common contact of the primary door unlock relay. If the circuit is to be configured as a 2 step unlock system, this wire will connect to the driver's door unlock motor side of the cut wire as shown in the following diagrams. If the system is to be configured to unlock all doors with one transmitter button activation, this wire will

connect to ground or +12 volts depending on the switching circuit used in the

vehicle.

ORANGE Wire: Open Contact The Orange wire of the three pin connector is the normally open contact of the primary unlock relay. If the circuit is to be configured as a 2 step unlock system, this wire will connect to a fused + 12 volt source if the vehicle switches + 12 volts to the drivers door unlock motor or a ground source if the vehicle switches ground to the drivers door unlock motor. If the system is to be configured to unlock all doors with one transmitter button activation, this wire will connect to the control wire in the vehicle's door lock circuit. See the following diagrams more details information for 2 step and single step door lock operation.
