installation points to remember

This product represents many years of research and development. It is very sophisticated and should be installed

by experienced security installers only. Please do not attempt installation of this product without reading this

guide. The system has been designed to provide the ultimate in security, coupled with limitless convenience and

expansion options.

This product is not intended for consumer installation and will have NO WARRANTY unless it is installed by an

authorized dealer.

Do not disconnect the battery if the vehicle has an anti-theft coded radio. If equipped with an airbag, avoid dis-

connecting the battery if possible.

IMPORTANT! Many airbag systems will display a diagnostic code through their warning light after they lose power. Disconnecting the battery requires this code to be erased, a procedure that can require a trip to the dealer.

Before beginning the installation:

■ Check with the customer to determine the Status LED location.

■ Remove the domelight fuse. This prevents accidentally draining the battery.

■ Roll down a window to avoid being locked out of the car.

After the install:

■ Test all functions. The “Using Your System” section of the Owner’s Guide is very helpful when testing.

■ When testing, don’t forget that this system is equipped with Nuisance Prevention

Circuitry. NPC™can bypass

both instant trigger zones, making them seem to stop working.

tools required

This is a general list of tools required to complete the installation of this DEI®security system in most vehicles.

Some vehicles may require additional tools.

■ Digital multi-meter

■ Wire cutters/strippers

■ Solderless terminal crimpers

■ Cordless power drill

■ Torx driver set

■ Nutdriver and/or socket set

■ Panel removal tool

■ Drill bit set

■ Phillips head screwdriver

■ Work light

deciding on component locations

Some things to remember when mounting the siren:

■ Keep it away from heat sources. Radiators, exhaust manifolds, turbochargers, and heat shields are all things

to avoid.

■ Mount it where a thief cannot easily disconnect it, whether the hood is open or shut. Both the siren and its

wires should be difficult to find. This usually involves disguising the wire to look like a factory harness.

■ We recommend against grounding the siren to its mounting screws. Instead, we recommend running both the

red and black wires into the passenger compartment and grounding to one common point for all devices. Af-

ter all, both wires are the same length and come already bonded together. Whenever possible, conceal your

wires in the factory harnesses or in the same style loom as the factory.

■ When possible, put the siren on the same side of the vehicle as the control module, where its wires will reach

the control module’s wires without extending them. Always run the wires through the center of a grommet,

never through bare metal!

■ Point the siren down so water does not collect in it.

■ Never put the control module in the engine compartment!

■ The first step in hot-wiring a vehicle is removing the driver's side underdash panel to access the starter and

ignition wires. If the control module is placed just behind the driver's side dash it can easily be disconnected.

■ When locating the control module, try to find a secure location that will not require you to extend the har-

nesses’ wires (they are 1.5 meters long). Keep it away from the heater core (or any other heat sources) and

any obvious leaks.

locations for the control module

locations for the siren

Page 6

■ The higher the control module is in the vehicle, the better the transmitter range will be. If you put the control

module under a seat or inside a metal dashboard, range will suffer.

■ Some good control module locations: Above the glove box, inside the center console, above the underdash

fuse box, above the radio, etc.

Ensure that the location you pick for the switch has sufficient clearance to the rear. The switch should be well

hidden. It should be placed so passengers or stored items (such as in a glove box or center console) cannot ac-

cidentally hit it. The switch fits in a

/32-inch hole.

This system has Remote Valet

. The user can enter and exit Valet®Mode without having to reach the

Valet

/Program switch. DEI®introduced this feature so that switch location was less critical in day-to-day use.

As long as the Valet

/Program switch can be reached to disarm without a transmitter, easy access is not important.

IMPORTANT! When the vehicle is delivered, please show the user where the switch is located and how to disarm the system with it.

locations for valet/program switch

Page 7

Things to remember when positioning the Status LED:

■ It should be visible from both sides and the rear of the vehicle, if possible.

■ It needs at least

/2-inch clearance to the rear.

■ It is easiest to use a small removable panel, such as a switch blank or a dash bezel. Remove it before drilling

your

/32-inch hole.

■ Use quick-disconnects near the LED wires if the panel is removable. This allows mechanics or other installers

to remove the panel without cutting the wires.

If the Failsafe

Starter Kill Relay or its connections are immediately visible upon removal of the underdash panel,

they can easily be bypassed. Always make the relay and its connections difficult to discern from the factory

wiring! Exposed yellow butt connectors do not look like factory parts, and will not fool anyone! For this reason,

routing the starter kill wires away from the steering column is recommended.

finding the wires you need

Now that you have decided where each component will be located, you’re going to find the wires in the car that

the security system will be connected to.

IMPORTANT! Do not use a 12V test light to find these wires! All testing described in this manual is described using a digital multimeter.

We recommend two possible sources for 12V constant: The (+) terminal of the battery, or the constant supply to

the ignition switch. Always install a fuse within 12 inches of this connection.

IMPORTANT! Do not remove the fuse holder on the red (H1/11) wire. It ensures that the control module has its own fuse, of the proper value, regardless of how many accessories are added to the main power feed.

The ignition wire is powered when the key is in the run or start position. This is because the ignition wire powers

the ignition system (spark plugs, coil) as well as the fuel delivery system (fuel pump, fuel injection computer).

Accessory wires, on the other hand, lose power when the key is in the start position to make more current avail-

able to the starter motor.

How to find (+)12V ignition with your multimeter:

1. Set to DCV or DC voltage (12V or 20V is fine).

2. Attach the (-) probe of the meter to chassis ground.

3. Probe the wire you suspect of being the ignition wire. The steering

column harness or ignition switch harness is an excellent place to find

this wire.

obtaining constant 12V

Page 9

4. Turn the ignition key switch to the run position. If your meter reads (+)12V, go to the next step. If it doesn’t,

probe another wire.

5. Now turn the key to the start position. The meter display should stay steady, not dropping by more than a

few tenths of a volt. If it drops close to or all the way to zero, go back to step 3. If it stays steady at (+)12V,

you have found an ignition wire.

The (+) parking light wire is often found near the switch. Many cars have the switch built into the turn signal

lever, and in these cars the parking light wire can be found in the steering column. The same wire is often avail-

able in the kick panel or running board.

How to find a (+) parking light flash wire with your multimeter:

1. Set to DCV or DC voltage (12V or 20V is fine).

2. Attach the (-) probe of the meter to chassis ground.

3. Probe the wire you suspect of being the parking light wire.

Usually, the area near the headlight/parking light switch is an

excellent area to start, as is the kick panel.

4. Turn on the parking lights. If your meter shows (+)12V, turn off

the parking lights and make sure it goes back to zero.

5. If it does return to zero, turn the parking lights back on and,

using the dash light dimmer control, turn the brightness of the

dash lights up and down. If the meter changes more than a volt

when using the dimmer, look for another wire. If it stays rela-

tively close to (+)12V, you have found your parking light wire.

The best places to find the door switch wire are:

■ At the pin switch: When testing at the pin switch, check the wire to ensure that it “sees” all the doors. Often,

the passenger switch will cover all the doors even if the driver’s switch will not.

■ At the dome light: This may not be your best choice if the vehicle has delayed domelight supervision, but it

will work in vehicles with completely diode-isolated pin switches.

Once you have determined the wire color, the easiest place to connect to the wire is often at the kick panel, at

the windshield pillar, or in the running board. When an easy location is not available, running a wire to the dome-

light itself is often the best solution.

Page 10

How to find a door pin switch trigger wire with your multimeter:

1. Set to DCV or DC voltage (12V or 20V is fine).

2. In most cars, fasten the (+) probe of your meter to (+)12V constant.

3. Probe the wire you suspect of being the door trigger wire. If the meter reads (+)12V when any door is opened,

you have found a trigger wire.

NOTE: Make sure the wire you use “sees” all the doors! Some newer GM vehicles lack standard-type pin switches. The dome light in these vehicles is turned on when the door handle is lifted. These usually have a blue/white or white wire coming out of the door into the kick panel which will provide a (-) trigger for all doors. Some GM vehicles (some Cavaliers, Grand Ams, etc.) have a yellow wire coming out of the door which provides a (+) door trigger.

How to find the (+)12V starter wire with your multimeter:

1. Set to DCV or DC voltage (12V or 20V is fine).

2. Attach the (-) probe of the meter to chassis ground.

3. Probe the wire you suspect of being the starter wire. The steering column

is an excellent place to find this wire. Remember you do not need to inter-

rupt the starter at the same point you test it. Hiding your starter kill relay

and connections is always recommended.

4. Turn the ignition key switch to the start position. Make sure the car is not

in gear! If your meter reads (+)12V, go to the next step. If it doesn’t, probe

another wire.

5. Cut the wire you suspect of being the starter wire.

6. Attempt to start the car. If the starter engages, reconnect it and go back

to step 3. If the starter does not turn over, you have the right wire.

making your connections

When connecting the security system’s wires to the wires in the vehicle it is important that the connections are

tight and no bare wire is exposed. In this section, two types of connections are described that may be used to

connect the wires from the security system into the vehicle’s wiring. Both types of connections are electrically

acceptable if made correctly. Other types of "tap-in" connections, such as T-Taps are not acceptable.

1. Cut the wire and strip back about

/4-inch of insulation on each end of the wire.

2. Twist one end of the vehicle’s wire with the security module’s wire.

3. Insert the twisted pair of wires into one end of the butt connector and crimp securely.

4. Insert the other end of the vehicle’s wire into the other end of the butt connector and crimp securely.

1. Using your wire strippers and razor knife, strip approximately 1/2-inch of insulation off the wire to be con-

nected to, without cutting the wire.

2. Twist the security module’s wire around the bare section of the vehicle’s wire.

3. Solder the bare connection thoroughly using rosin core solder.

4. Completely insulate the connection with electrical tape.

primary harness wire connection guide

This guide describes in detail the connection of each wire. Also included are possible applications of each wire.

This system was designed with the ultimate in flexibility and security in mind. Many of the wires have more than

one possible function. Please read carefully to ensure a thorough understanding of this unit.

This wire supplies a (-) ground as long as the system is armed. This output ceases as soon as the system is dis-

armed. The orange wire is used to control the pre-wired starter kill relay. It can supply up to 500 mA of current.

NOTE: If connecting the orange wire to control another module, such as a 529T or 530T window module, a 1 amp diode (type 1N4004) will be required (see below).

IMPORTANT! Never interrupt any wire other than the starter wire.

As shipped, this wire should be connected to the (+) parking light wire. If the light flash polarity jumper inside

the unit is moved to the opposite position (see Internal Programming Jumper section of this guide), this wire

supplies a (-) 200 mA output. This is suitable for driving (-) parking light wires.

See diagrams on the following page.

H1/2 WHITE (+/-) selectable light flash output

H1/1 ORANGE (-) ground-when-armed output

Page 15

This wire provides a 200 mA (-) output whenever the transmitter button(s) controlling channel three is pressed.

This output can be programmed to provide the following type of outputs (see System Features Learn Routine

section of this guide):

■ A validity output will send a signal as long as the transmission is received.

■ A latched output will send a signal continuously when channel three is pressed and will continue until

channel three is pressed again.

■ A latched/reset with ignition output works similar to the latched output, but will also reset (output will

stop) when the ignition is turned on then off.

■ A 30-second timed output will send a signal for 30 seconds when channel three is pressed. This output can

also be programmed to provide a second unlock pulse when the disarm button is pressed within 15 second

after disarming the system. This can be used to unlock the passenger doors when installing progressive door

locks.

■ A second unlock output will provide a second unlock pulse whenever the disarm button is pressed within 15

seconds after disarming the system. This setting could be used to unlock the passenger doors when installing

progressive door locks, for instance.

■ A delayed accessory output provides a 200mA (-) latched output three seconds after the ignition is turned

on. It will remain active when the key is turned off, until a door is opened and closed. This setting could be

used in conjunction with a relay to energize certain circuits in the vehicle that would normally require the

key to be turned on i.e. the radio, power windows, etc.

IMPORTANT! Never use this wire to drive anything but a relay or a low-current input! This transistorized output can only supply (-)200 mA, and connecting directly to a solenoid, motor, or other high-current device will cause the module to fail.

H1/3 WHITE/BLUE 200 mA (-) channel three output

Page 16

Connect this wire to the optional domelight supervision relay as shown below:

IMPORTANT! This output is only intended to drive a relay. It cannot be connected directly to the domelight circuit, as the output cannot support the current draw of one or more bulbs.

Most vehicles use negative door trigger circuits. Connect the green wire to a wire which shows ground when any

door is opened. In vehicles with factory delays on the domelight circuit, there is usually a wire that is unaffected

by the delay circuitry.

This input will respond to a negative input with an instant trigger. It is ideal for hood and trunk pins and will

report on zone one.

H1/6 BLUE (-) instant trigger

H1/5 GREEN (-) door trigger input

H1/4 BLACK/WHITE 200 mA (-) domelight supervision output

Page 17

This wire is used in vehicles that have a positive (+) switched dome light circuit . Connect the violet wire to a

wire that shows (+)12V when any door is opened, and ground when the door is closed.

Connect this wire to bare metal, preferably with a factory bolt rather than your own screw. Screws tend to either

strip or loosen with time. All components, including the siren, should be grounded to the same point in the

vehicle if possible.

H1/8 BLACK (-) chassis ground connection

H1/7 VIOLET (+) door trigger input

Page 18

Connect this wire to the (+)12V ignition wire. This wire must show (+)12V with the key in Run position and during

cranking. Take care to insure that this wire cannot be shorted to the chassis at any point.

Connect this to the red wire of the siren. Connect the black wire of the siren to (-) chassis ground, preferably at

the same point you connect the control module’s black ground wire.

Before connecting this wire, remove the supplied fuse. Connect to the battery positive terminal or the constant 12V supply

to the ignition switch.

NOTE: Always use a fuse within 12 inches of the point you obtain (+)12V. Do not use the 15A fuse in the harness for this purpose. This fuse protects the module itself.

When the system receives the code controlling Channel Two for longer than 1.5 seconds, the red/white will supply

an output as long as the transmission continues. This is often used to operate a trunk/hatch release or other

relay/driven function.

IMPORTANT! Never use this wire to drive anything but a relay or a low-current input! The transistorized output can only supply 200 mA of current. Connecting directly to a solenoid, motor, or other high-current device will cause it to fail.

harness 2 (H2), (+/-) door lock outputs

______

This system can control two common power door lock types without any additional parts! With certain vehicles,

or if an actuator is to be installed, either a 451M Door Lock Relay Satellite or two relays will be required.

IMPORTANT! If you mistake a Type C direct-wired system for a Type A positive-pulse system, the module will be damaged!

door lock harness (H2) wire connection guide

The system can control a Type A system directly, with no additional parts. The switch will have three wires on

it, and one will test (+)12V constantly. The others will alternately pulse (+)12V when the switch is pressed to

the lock or unlock position.

If you cannot get to the switch, and you find a set of wires that pulse (+)12V alternately on lock and unlock,

you must take care to ensure that it is not a Type C direct-wire system.

Here is a test: Cut the wire which pulses (+)12V on lock, and then operate the switch to unlock. If all doors

unlock, the vehicle uses type A system. If you lose all door lock operation in both directions, you are operating

the master switch in a Type C system.

If you lose all door lock operation of one or more doors, but not all motors stop operating, and other doors still

work, you have cut a wire leading directly to one or more motors. You must instead find the actual wires leading

to the switch.

Many domestically-made GM vehicles use Type A locks. However, many more GM vehicles are Type C than in pre-

vious years. The full-size pickups (1989-up), many of the S10 Blazers, the Corvette, 1995 Cavalier/Sunfire 1993

and newer, Camaro/Firebird all use Type C door locks, and cannot be controlled without a 451M! Almost all domes-

tically-built Fords are Type C. Ford builds very few Type A systems. Chrysler builds both Type A and Type C, so

use caution.

type A: (+) 12V pulses from the switch to the factory relays

Page 21

This system is common in many Toyota, Nissan, Honda, and Saturn models, as well as Fords with the keyless-

entry system (some other Fords also use Type B).

The switch will have three wires on it, and one wire will test ground all the time. One wire will pulse (-) when

the switch locks the doors, and the other wire will pulse (-) when the switch unlocks the doors. This type of

system is difficult to mistake for any other type.

type B: (-) pulses from the switch to the factory relays

Page 22

Interfacing with a reversing polarity system requires either two relays or one 451M (not included).

It is critical to identify the proper wires and locate the master switch to interface properly. Locate wires that

show voltage on lock and unlock. Cut one of the suspect wires and check operation of the locks from both

switches. If one switch loses operation in both directions and the other switch operates in one direction only,

you have located one of the target wires. The switch that lost all operation is the master switch. If one switch

works both directions and the other switch works only one direction, you have a Type A system. If both switches

still operate, but one or more doors have stopped responding entirely, you have cut a motor lead. Reconnect it

and continue to test for another wire. Once both wires have been located and the master switch identified, cut

both wires and interface as shown below.

IMPORTANT! If these are not connected properly, you will send (+) 12 volts directly to (-) ground, possibly damaging the alarm or the factory switch.

In order for this system to control one or more after-market actuators, a 451M or two relays (optional) are

needed.

Vehicles without factory power door locks require the installation of one actuator per door. This requires

mounting the door lock actuator inside the door. Other vehicles may only require one actuator installed in the

driver's door if all door locks are operated when the driver's lock is used. This type of installation is required to

operate factory lock systems in Volvo (except 850), SAAB, and most Mazda, Isuzu and Subaru models. The fuse

used on 12-volt inputs should be 7.5A per motor installed in the vehicle.

type D: after-market actuators

Page 24

Door locks are controlled by an electrically activated vacuum pump. Some Mercedes and Audi models use a Type

D system. Test by locking doors from the passenger key cylinder. If all the doors lock, the vehicle's door lock

system can be controlled with just two relays (optional). The control wire can be found in either kick panel and

will show (+)12V when doors are unlocked and (-) ground when doors are locked.

To interface, see diagram below. The system must be programmed for 3.5 second door lock pulses. (See

System Features Learn Routine section of this guide.)

type E: mercedes-benz and audi (1985 & newer)

Page 25

This system usually requires a negative pulse to unlock, and cutting the wire to lock the door. In some vehicles,

these are reversed. It is found in late-model Nissan Sentras, some Nissan 240SX, and Nissan 300ZX 1992-up. It

is also found in some Mazda MPV's and some Mitsubishi's.

One relay (optional) is used to interface to this type of system as follows:

type F: one-wire system

Page 26

on-board doubleguard shock sensor

There is a Doubleguard®shock sensor inside the control unit. Adjustments are made via the rotary control as indi-

cated above. Since the shock sensor does not work well when mounted firmly to metal, we recommend against

screwing down the control module. The full trigger of the on-board shock sensor reports zone 2. (See Table of

Zones section of this guide.)

NOTE: When adjusting the sensor, it must be in the same mounting location that it will be after the install is completed. Adjusting the sensor and then relocating the module requires readjustment.

auxiliary harness (H3), 2-pin connector

This wire supplies a 200 mA (-) output that can be used to honk the vehicle’s horn. It provides a pulsed output

when the security system is in the triggered sequence or in panic mode. In most vehicles with (-) horn circuits

this wire can control the vehicle’s horn without adding a relay. If the vehicle has a (+) horn circuit, an optional

relay must be used to interface with the horn circuit.

H3/1 BROWN (-) horn honk output

Page 27

This wire supplies a 200mA (-) output whenever the button(s) controlling Channel Four is pressed and will con-

tinue until the button(s) is released. This output can be used to control optional accessories.

IMPORTANT! Never use this wire to drive anything but a relay or a low-current input! This transistorized output can only supply 200 mA (-), and connecting directly to a solenoid, motor, or other high-current device will cause the module to fail.

The super bright LED operates at 2V DC. Make sure the LED wires are not shorted to ground as the LED will be

damaged. The LED fits into a

/32-inch mounting hole. Be sure to check for clearance prior to drilling the mount-

ing hole.

The Valet

/Program switch should be accessible from the driver’s seat. It plugs into the blue port on the side of

the unit. Since the system features Valet

by remote, the switch can be well hidden. Consider what the switch

will be used for before choosing a mounting location. Check for rear clearance before drilling a

/32-inch hole and

mounting the switch.The GRAY wire in the two-pin plug may also be used as a (+) Ghost switch

™

input and can

be connected to any (+) switch in the vehicle. (See Feature Descriptions section of this guide.)

NOTE: Please note for the customer the location of the Valet

/Program switch in the section pro-

vided in the Owner’s Guide.

The black three-pin port can be used for programming the unit or to accommodate a serial controller. When using

the optional DEI Bitwriter

™

or PC Interface module (DEI part number 996T) for programming, it is possible to con-

figure any or all of the programmable functions using an IBM-compatible personal computer. When using a serial

controller, such as DEI’s 103T Keypad or the DEI 400A Car★Com, basic operating functions can be controlled

without the use of a remote transmitter. For more information please refer to the guides packaged with these DEI

compatible products.

system features learn routine

The System Features Learn Routine dictates how the unit operates. It is possible to access and change any of the

feature settings using the Valet

/Program switch. However, this process can be greatly simplified by using the

optional Personal Computer Interface, or DEI

Bitwriter™. Any of the settings can be changed and then assigned

to a particular transmitter, up to four, a feature called Owner Recognition. Each time that particular transmitter

is used to disarm the system, the assigned feature settings will be recalled. Owner Recognition is only possible

when programming the unit via the computer interface or DEI

Bitwriter™. If programming with the PC interface

or the DEI

Bitwriter™, the learn routine can be locked or unlocked. If it is locked no features can be changed.

To enter the System Features Learn Routine:

1. Open a door: The GREEN wire, H1/5, or the VIOLET, H1/7 must be connected.

2. Turn the ignition on, then off: The YELLOW wire, H1/9 must be connected.

3. Select a feature: Press and release the Valet

/Program button the number of times corre-

sponding to the step you wish to change. For example, to access the third feature, press

and release three times. Then press the button once more and HOLD it. The siren will chirp

the number of times equal to the step you have accessed.

4. Program the feature: While holding the Valet

/Program button, you can toggle the feature

on and off using the remote transmitter. Pressing the arm button will select the one chirp

or default setting. Pressing the button that is assigned to Channel Two (or the disarm only

button on an OEM configuration transmitter, see Transmitter/Receiver Learn Routine section

of this guide), will select the two chirp setting.

NOTE: The Valet

pulse count feature (8) and the Channel three timed output (9) have five possible settings each. Pressing the Channel Two (or disarm only) button will toggle through all the possible settings.

5. Release the Valet

/Program button.

Page 30

■ Other features can be programmed.

■ The Learn Routine can be exited if programming is complete.

Press and release the Valet

/Program button the number of times necessary to advance from the feature you just

programmed to the next one you want to program. Then press the Valet

/Program button once more and hold it.

For example, if you just programmed the third feature and you would like to program the seventh feature in the

menu, you would: Press and release the Valet

/Program button four times. Then press the Valet®/Program button

once more and hold it. The siren would chirp seven times to confirm access to the seventh feature.

The learn routine will be exited if any of the following occurs:

1. Close the open door.

2. Turn the ignition on.

3. No activity for longer than 15 seconds.

4. Press the Valet

/program button too many times.

feature descriptions

1 ACTIVE/PASSIVE ARMING: When active arming is selected, the system will only arm when the transmitter is

used. When set to passive, the system will arm automatically 30 seconds after the last door is closed. To alert

the consumer of passive arming, the siren will chirp 20 seconds after the door is closed. This provides the con-

sumer with an audible warning prior to the system actually arming. At the 30 second mark, the system will arm

but the siren will not chirp.

2 AUDIBLE ARM/DISARM CONFIRMATION ON/OFF: This feature controls the chirps that confirm the arming and

disarming of the system. In the ON setting (default) the siren will provide audible confirmation when arming and

disarming the system. If programmed to the OFF position no siren chirps will be heard when arming and disarm-

ing.

3 IGNITION-CONTROLLED LOCKING ON/OFF: When turned on, the vehicle doors will lock three seconds after the

ignition is turned on.

4 IGNITION-CONTROLLED UNLOCKING ON/OFF: When turned on, the vehicle doors will unlock when the igni-

tion is turned off.

5 ACTIVE/PASSIVE LOCKING: If passive arming is selected in step 1, then the system can be programmed to

either lock the doors when passive arming occurs, or only lock the doors when the system is armed via the trans-

mitter. Active locking means the system will not lock the doors when it passively arms. Passive locking means

that the system will lock the doors when it passively arms.

NOTE: Remember, when passive arming is selected, the unit will chirp 20 seconds after the last door is closed. The system does not actually arm or lock the doors until 30 seconds after the door has been closed.

6 DOOR LOCK PULSE DURATION: Some vehicles require longer lock and unlock pulses to operate the door lock

vacuum pump. Programming the system to provide 3.5 second pulses, will accommodate the door lock interface

in these vehicles. The default setting is 0.8 second door lock pulses.

7 DOUBLE PULSE UNLOCK ON/OFF: Some vehicles require two pulses on a single wire to unlock the doors. When

the double pulse unlock feature is turned on, the unlock relay will provide two pulses instead of a single pulse.

8 DOOR TRIGGER ERROR CHIRP ON/OFF: With the door trigger error chirp programmed off, the system will not

report an invalid zone on arming when the door trigger wire is active. This eliminates the extra chirps that occur

when interfacing with vehicles that have exceptionally long dome light delay circuits.

9 IGNITION-CONTROLLED DOMELIGHT ON/OFF: If turned on, the system will turn on the domelight for 60

seconds when the ignition is turned off. The H1/4 BLACK/WHITE domelight supervision output must be connected

as described in the Primary Harness Wire Connection Guide section of this manual in order to control this feature.

Page 32

10 VALET®PULSE COUNT 1-5 PULSES: The system can be programmed to count the number presses of the Valet

switch before disarming the security system. The factory default setting is one pulse. The unit can be set for 2

to 5 pulses using the Channel Two button (or disarm only button on an OEM transmitter) to select the setting.

Ghost Switch

™

Option: For added security, the GRAY wire on the two-pin Valet®/Program button can

be connected to any switch in the vehicle that provides a positive (+) momentary pulse.

11 CHANNEL 3 VALIDITY/LATCHED/LATCHED RESET WITH IGNITION/30 SECOND TIMED/SECOND UNLOCK

OUTPUT/DELAYED ACCESSORY OUTPUT: Channel 3 can be programmed for these output configurations. The unit

is set to the default validity output. To change the configuration, use the disarm (or channel 2) button to toggle

to the different settings.

transmitter/receiver learn routine

The system comes with two transmitters that have been taught to the receiver. The receiver can store up to 4

different transmitter codes in memory. Use the following learn routine to add transmitters to the system or to

change button assignments if desired. The transmitter learn routine can be locked using the optional PC inter-

face or DEI

Bitwriter™. If the learn routine is locked no transmitters can be programmed to the system.

1. Open a door: The GREEN wire, H1/5, or the VIOLET, H1/7 must be connected.

2. Turn the ignition on: The YELLOW wire, H1/9 must be connected.

3. Select the receiver channel: Press and release the Valet

/Program button the number of

times necessary to access the desired channel. Press and hold the Valet

/Program button

once more. The siren will chirp and the LED will blink the number of times corresponding

to the channel that is accessed.

Page 33

4. Press the transmitter button: While holding the Valet®/Program button, press the button

from the transmitter that you wish to assign to that channel. The unit will chirp indicat-

ing successful programming. It is not possible to teach a transmitter button to the system

more than once.

Channel 1 AUTO-LEARN: Programming to Channel One will automatically configure the channels in the

standard configuration. (Refer to owner’s guide, standard configuration)

Channel 2: If any transmitter button from a known transmitter is programmed to Channel Two, all transmitters

will be erased from memory, and system features will return to factory default settings. This is useful in cases

where one of the customer’s transmitters is lost or stolen. This will erase any lost or stolen transmitters from the

system’s memory. It can also be used to start from scratch if the transmitter buttons were programmed incor-

rectly.

Channel 7-9: To configure the system’s remote transmitters for OEM mode, Channels Seven through Nine are used

to assign the arm, disarm, and panic functions to separate buttons on the remote control. If the remote trans-

mitter being used has already been programmed to the system it will be necessary to delete all transmitters (see

Channel Two) before that transmitter can be programmed to Channels Seven through Nine.

table of zones

When using the diagnostic functions, use the Table of Zones to see which input has triggered the system. It is

also helpful in deciding which input to use when connecting optional sensors and switches.

long-term event history

The system stores the last two full triggers in memory. These are not erasable. Each time the unit sees a full

trigger, the older of the two triggers in memory will be replaced by the new trigger. To access long-term event

history:

1. Turn on the ignition.

2. Press and hold the Valet

/program switch.

The LED will flash in groups indicating the last two zones that triggered the unit.

NOTE: The Warn Away

triggers are not stored to memory.

rapid resume logic

This DEI®system will store its current state to non-volatile memory. If power is lost and then reconnected the

system will recall the stored state from memory. This means if the unit is in Valet

mode and the battery is dis-

connected for any reason, such as servicing the car, when the battery is reconnected the unit will still be in Valet

mode. This applies to all states of the system including arm, disarm, and Valet®mode.

troubleshooting

■ Starter kill doesn’t work:

Is the correct starter wire being interrupted? If the car starts when the starter kill relay is completely discon-

nected, the wrong starter wire has been cut and interrupted. Yellow (H1/9) wire is not connected to true ignition.

It is connected to an accessory circuit.

■ Shock sensor doesn’t trigger the alarm:

Has Nuisance Prevention

Circuitry been triggered? If so, you will hear five chirps when disarming. To check this,

turn the ignition key on and off to clear NPC

™

from memory, and then retest the shock sensor. For a detailed

description of this feature, see the Owner’s Guide.

■ Door input does not immediately trigger full alarm. Instead, first I hear chirps for three seconds:

That’s how the progressive two-stage door input works! This is a feature of this system. This is an instant trigger,

remember, since even if the door is instantly closed, the progression from chirps to constant siren will continue.

■ Closing the door triggers the system, but opening the door does not:

Have you correctly identified the type of door switch system? This happens often when the wrong door input has

been used. (See Finding the Wires You Need section of this guide.)

■ System will not passively arm until it is remotely armed and then disarmed:

Are the door inputs connected? Is a blue wire connected to the door trigger wire in the vehicle? Either the green

H1/5 or the violet H1/7 should be used instead.

■ Door input does not respond with the progressive trigger, but with immediate full alarm:

What zone does the LED indicate? If the LED indicates that the impact sensor caused the trigger, the sensor may

be detecting the door opening. Reducing the sensitivity or relocating the sensor can often solve this problem.

(See Table of Zones section of this guide.)
