ARMING OPERATION

To arm the system press transmitter button 1:

• The siren will chirp once.

• The parking lights will flash once.*

• The doors will lock.*

• The LED will turn solid for 10 seconds
then start flashing slowly. After 10
seconds the system is armed.

After Arming, if the system detects a bad
sensor or an open zone, the siren will chirp
and the parking lights will flash 4 times to
indicate a zone is open. The system will
ignore that input, but keep all other areas
protected.

While Armed, the system will trigger if:

• The doors are opened.

• The shock sensor detects an impact to
the vehicle.

• The hood or trunk is opened.

When triggered, the siren will sound, the
horn will honk*, and the parking lights will
flash* for 30 seconds.

If the same input triggers the system 3 times
during a single arming cycle, the system will
bypass that input, keeping the other zones
protected, until the next time the system is
armed.

If the shock sensor detects a light impact to
the vehicle, the siren will chirp and the
parking lights will flash 5 times to warn away
the potential intruder.

PASSIVE ARMING

The passive arming feature allows the system
to arm automatically without user
intervention.The passive arming feature also
allows the system to automatically re-arm

seconds. The Passive Arming feature may be

enabled during installation.

To arm the system passively:

1. Turn the ignition key off.

2. Exit the vehicle and close all doors.

• The LED flashes rapidly indicating
that the system is preparing to arm.
(The system can be armed at any
time by pressing transmitter button

1.)

• If the passive arming with countdown
chirps feature is selected during
installation, the siren will chirp every
2 seconds until armed.

• The siren will chirp 30 seconds after
the last door is closed to indicate the
system is now armed.

• The doors will lock.†*

Installation Instructions

Before you begin the installation

Read the INSTRUCTIONS!

•

• Always use a multi-meter when verifying
vehicle wiring.

Before mounting the product,

•
with the customer the desired location for
the valet switch and LED.

•

Protect the vehicle by using fender

covers.

•

Always look before drilling. Make sure
you will not cause damage to vehicle
hoses, electrical looms or physical
damage to vehicle.

Mounting System Module

Mount the system module under the
dash where it will be difficult for a
potential thief to locate the module, and
away from moving parts such as brake
pedals, etc. Route the antenna wire away
from wire looms, computer modules
and metallic objects for better range.

Mounting Siren

Mount the siren in a suitable place
under the hood, away from hot and
moving engine parts such as manifolds,
fan belts, etc.Make sure the siren cannot
be accessed from underneath the
vehicle or through the grill. Face the
siren down so that water cannot
accumulate inside the siren bell. Protect
wires running through the firewall using
either tape or split loom tubing. If a new
hole is needed, protect the wire from
chaffing by installing a proper size
grommet.

Mounting Shock Sensor

Secure the shock sensor to the steering
column, thick wire harness or a dash
brace, using a wire tie.Make sure that the
adjustment screw is accessible for later
testing and adjustment.

14-Pin Main Harness:

• RED WIRE - +12V Battery input. Connect
the red fused wire on the main harness to a
constant +12V source. This source wire
should be at least 15 amp supply.

• WHITE WIRE - Parking Light output (+)
10A relay. Connect to the vehicle’s parking
light wire. If the vehicle’s parking light circuit
exceeds 10 amps a relay is required. For
vehicle’s with independent left and right
parking light circuits, the parking light wires
must be connected using diodes to keep the
circuits separate. A relay is required for
vehicles with negative parking light circuits.
NOTE: Do not connect the WHITE wire to
the vehicle’s headlight circuit.

• BROWN WIRE - Siren wire output (+) 3A.
Connect to the siren’s red wire. Connect
the siren’s black wire to ground.

• BLUE/WHITE WIRE - Not used.

• WHITE/RED WIRE - Not used.

• ORANGE WIRE - Armed Output (-)
500mA. Connect to a relay for optional
starter defeat (See wiring diagram). The
ORANGE wire provides a ground when the
unit is armed to activate a starter disable
relay or other device (i.e. window control
module, etc.).

• BROWN/WHITE WIRE - Horn output (-)
500mA. Connect to an optional relay to

4

activate the vehicle’s horn when the alarm is
triggered.

• BLACK/WHITE WIRE - Dome Light
output (-) 500mA. Connect to an optional
relay to activate the vehicle’s dome light.

• BLUE WIRE - Trunk/Hood trigger (-).
Connect the Blue wire to the trunk and/or
optional hood pin switches.The switch must
provide a ground output when switch is
opened.

• GRAY WIRE - Auxiliary output (-) 500mA.
Connect to a relay for an optional feature
such as trunk release, etc.

• YELLOW WIRE - +12V Ignition input.
Connect to a main ignition wire at the
ignition switch harness. This wire shows
+12V when the ignition is on and while
cranking. The voltage must not drop when
the car is starting.

• BLACK WIRE - Ground input (-). Connect
to a solid chassis ground that is clean and
free of paint or dirt.

• VIOLET WIRE - Positive door trigger (+).
Connect to the door switch circuit wire that
shows +12V when the door is open. This
type of door circuit is usually found on Ford
vehicles.

• GREEN WIRE - Negative door trigger (-).
Connect to the door switch circuit wire that
shows ground when the door is open.

Plug in Connectors

3-Pin White Door Lock Connector: Plug­in connector for door lock harness or
optional door lock relay module.

• BLUE WIRE - unlock output (-) 500mA.

• RED WIRE - +12V output (+) 300mA for
relay modules,or inverters. Do NO
a power source for door lock relays.

• GREEN WIRE - lock output (-) 500mA.

T use as

2-Pin Red Connector: Plug-in connector
for LED. Mount LED in an area where it
may be easily seen from either side of the
vehicle.
