primary harness (H1) wire connection guide

______

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

wire can be used to turn on an optional sensor or to control an optional accessory, such as a window module or pager.

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

the control module 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 (-) light control wires in Toyota, Lexus, BMW,

some Mitsubishi, some Mazda, and other model cars.

(-) Negative Light Flash Output

NOTE: For parking light circuits that draw 10 amps or more, the internal jumper must be switched to a (-) light flash output. (See the Internal Programming Jumper section of this guide.) P/N 8617 or a standard automotive SPDT relay must be used on the H1/2 light flash output harness wire.

This wire provides a (-) 200 mA output whenever the transmitter code controlling Channel 3 is received. This

output will continue as long as that transmission is received. Use for options such as 551T Valet

Start system,

529T or 530T power window controllers, etc.

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

Connect this wire directly to the domelight circuit in the vehicle. The on-board relay will drive circuits up

to 20 amperes. The polarity of this output is determined by the connection of the H3/1 input wire in the

Auxiliary Harness.

NOTE: If the H3/1 input wire is not connected, there will be no output on this wire.

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 wire will report Zone 3.

H1/5 GREEN (-) door trigger input, zone 3

H1/4 BLACK/WHITE high current output from on-board interior light illumination relay

H1/3 WHITE/BLUE (-) channel 3 output

This wire will respond to a negative input with an instant trigger. Inputs shorter than 0.8 seconds will trigger

the Warn Away response, while triggers longer than 0.8 seconds will instantly trigger the full alarm cycle. This

wire is ideal for hood and trunk pins and will report on Zone 1. This wire can also be used with DEI’s 506T Glass

Breakage Sensor, as well as other DEI single stage sensors. The H1/6 BLUE multiplex trigger wire can be used to

shunt sensors during operation, using the auxiliary channels. When any of the auxiliary channels are transmit-

ted, the H1/6 BLUE wire monitors for a ground. If ground is detected within 5 seconds of transmission, the

sensors and the multiplex trigger input on the BLUE wire will be shunted until 5 seconds after the ground is

removed. This allows the customer to access the trunk, remote start the vehicle, or roll the windows down without

first disarming the alarm. (See Bypassing Sensor Inputs section of this guide.)

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

wire that shows (+)12V when any door is opened, and ground when the door is closed. This wire will report Zone 3.

Remove any paint and connect this wire to bare metal, preferably with a factory bolt rather than a screw. (Screws

tend to strip or loosen with time.) We recommend grounding all components, including the siren, to the same point.

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

cranking. Make sure that this wire cannot be shorted to the chassis at any point. This wire will report Zone 5.

H1/9 YELLOW (+) ignition input, zone 5

H1/8 BLACK (-) chassis ground connection

H1/7 VIOLET (+) door trigger input, zone 3

H1/6 BLUE (-) multiplex trigger input, zone 1

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 positive battery terminal or the constant

12V supply to the ignition switch.

NOTE: Always use a fuse within 12 inches of the point you obtain (+)12V power. 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 2, for longer than 1.5 seconds, the red/white wire 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.

H1/12 RED/WHITE channel 2, (-) 200mA output

H1/11 RED (+)12V constant power input

H1/10 BROWN (+) siren output

______

*VIOLET and VIOLET/BLACK wires are common at the fuseholder.

The system has door lock relays on-board, and can directly interface with most electric power door lock systems

drawing 30 amps or less. It can also drive aftermarket actuators directly. (Some vehicles require that an after-

market actuator be added to the driver’s door to allow system control, see Type D wiring section).

This wire determines what the output polarity of H1/4 will be. If the door pin circuit is negative, connect to

chassis ground. If the door circuit is positive, connect to a fused 12V source.

IMPORTANT! The H2/A wire is not required for wiring the door locks. Depending on the type of door lock system, there may be additional wires in the Door Lock Harness (H2) that are not required used in wiring the door locks.

The system has door lock relays on-board, and can directly interface with most electric power door lock systems

drawing 20 amps or less.

The easiest way to determine which type of door lock system you are working with is to remove the master

locking switch itself, which is usually on the driver’s door or on the center console. Once you have determined

which type of factory door lock circuit you are working with, and the color codes of the switch wires to be used,

you can usually simplify the installation by locating the same wires in the vehicle’s kick panel. If no central

locking switch is found, the installation may require a door lock actuator.

NOTE: Always retest the wires in the kick panel to be sure they function the same way as the wires on the switch.

There are eight common types of door lock circuits (some vehicles use more unusual systems):

■ Type A: Three-wire (+) pulse controlling factory lock relays. Most GM, some Ford and Chrysler, 1995 Saturn,

some new VW, newer BMW.

■ Type B: Three-wire (-) pulse controlling factory lock relays. Most Asian vehicles, early Saturn, some BMW and

Porsche.

■ Type C: Direct-wired reversing-polarity switches. The switches are wired directly to the motors. This type of

system has no factory relays. Most Fords, many GM two-doors cars and trucks, many Chryslers.

■ Type D: Adding one or more aftermarket actuators. These include slave systems without an actuator in the

driver’s door, but with factory actuators in all the other doors. Type D also includes cars without power locks,

which will have actuators added. All Saabs before 1994, all Volvo except 850i, all Subaru, most Isuzu, and

many Mazdas. Some mid-eighties Nissans, pre-1985 Mercedes-Benz and Audi.

■ Type E: Electrically-activated vacuum systems. The vehicle must have a vacuum actuator in each door. Make

sure that locking the doors from the driver's or passenger side using the key activates all the actuators in

the vehicle. This requires a slight modification to the door lock harness. Mercedes-Benz and Audi 1985 and

newer.

■ Type F: One-wire system - cut to lock, ground to unlock. This system is found in late-model Nissan Sentras,

some Nissan 240SX, and Nissan 300ZX 1992 and later. It is also found in older Mitsubishis, and some early

Mazda MPV’s.

■ Type G: Positive (+) multiplex. This system is most commonly found in Ford, Mazda, Chrysler and GM vehi-

cles. The door lock switch or door key cylinder may contain either one or two resistors.

■ Type H: Negative (-) multiplex. The system is most commonly found in Ford, Mazda, Chrysler and GM vehi-

cles. The door lock switch or door key cylinder may contain either one or two resistors.
