INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT: Make all wiring connections to the vehicle before connecting the main
14-pin connector harness to the receiver and control module.
1. Before mounting the BWS-1152 Receiver and Control Module, you must set the PROGRAMMING DIP-
SWITCHES for the kind of operation the customer wants.
These are the switch settings available; Standard (Default) settings are in “BOLD” type:
Switch #1 Door Lock and Unlock Pulse Time: ON = 3/4 seconds. OFF = 3 seconds.
Switch #2 Door Lock and Unlock with ignition: ON = YES. OFF = NO.
Switch #3 Door Locking with Passive Arming: ON = YES. OFF = NO.
Switch #4 Passive or Active Arming: ON = Passive Arming.OFF = Active Arming.
2. Mount the Receiver and Control Module in a secure area, away from vehicle computers and heating/air condi-
tioning ducts.The location should be convenient for your installation, but well hidden from thieves.Try to mount the unit
as far away from metal objects as possible.This will increase the range of its Remote Control Transmitter.
3. Route the wires of the harnesses to areas in which the different accessories will be mounted .You may
need to extend some wires.
DO NOT plug the two wiring harnesses into the Receiver and Control
Module until all connections have been completed.
When running the harness wires through the vehicle, be careful to run them where they CANNOT be DAMAGED or SHORTED to GROUND or other WIRING. Keep them away from ALL MOVING PARTS of the vehicle
or where HIGH HEAT can damage their insulation. Always protect the harness wires where they pass through
holes in metal panels by using RUBBER GROMMETS.
4. Mount the MTS-20W Siren under the vehicle’s hood.Mount it away from heat sources such as radiators,
exhaust manifolds, and turbochargers. Mount it in an area where it will not be in the way for mechanics,and so
that it cannot be easily reached from below the vehicle.Mount it so that its opening points down to prevent it
from collecting water, snow,or ice. Connect its BLACK wire to a good clean GROUND point, and its RED wire to
the ORANGE wire of the main harness.
5. Mount the BWS-296 Shock Sensor Somewhere inside the vehicle such as under the dash, strapped to the
steering column, or under a seat.
Do Not Mount The Sensor Under The Hood!
Connect its BLACK wire to a good,clean GROUND point, its RED wire to a source of CONSTANT +12vdc,and
its BLUE wire to the BLUE wire of the main harness.
6. Mount the BWS-180 LED Status Indicator in an easily seen location such as the center of the dash or the
inside top edge of the driver’s or passenger’s door.Connect its RED wire to a source of CONSTANT +12vdc, and
its BLACK wire to the RED/BLACK wire of the main harness.
7. Install the BWS-260 Valet/Override Switch in a hidden location that is easily reached by the driver.
Remember that the code learning and valet/override sequence require using this switch in conjunction with the
ignition switch, so it should be hidden, but convenient to use when needed.
8. Mount and connect any optional function modules included in the installation, following the mounting
and wiring directions supplied with them.

10. Complete the general wiring of the main harness by connecting...
A. The RED wire to a source of CONSTANT +12vdc.
IMPORTANT: Remove the fuse from the harness before connection.
B. The BLACK wire to a good chassis GROUND point.
C. The WHITE wire for POSITIVE pinswitches.
or... The BLUE/WHITE wire for NEGATIVE pinswitches.
(NOTE:If your installation requires BOTH inputs,they can both be used on the same installation)
D. The GREEN wire to a source of TRUE IGNITION.
E. The WHITE/ORANGE wire to the vehicle’s PARKING LIGHT circuit. See the Parking Light Circuit
Diagram on Page 5.
On vehicles with electric door locks:
F. The GREEN/BLACK wire to the vehicle’s door LOCK circuit, using the correct circuit from the
Power Door Lock Wiring Diagrams on Page 5.
G. The YELLOW wire to the vehicle’s door UNLOCK circuit,using the correct circuit from the Power
Door Lock Wiring Diagrams on Page 5.
11. Adjust the Electronic Shock Sensor to the desired sensitivity before continuing with the alarm checkout.
A.Turn the adjustment screw until the unit’s LED reacts to your slapping various parts of the vehicle’s body.
B.Turn CLOCKWISE for more sensitivity,COUNTER-CLOCKWISE for less.
C. DO NOT overadjust the sensor or false alarms may result.
12. Connect the Main 14 Pin Wiring Harness to the BW-1152 Receiver and Control Module.
13. To Power-up and enter Transmitter Code Learning, please follow these instructions:
A. Install the fuse in the RED wire of the main wiring harness.The unit will power-up in an armed state,
the siren may or may not sound.
B. Before proceeding, you must have the main unit learn the transmitters code.To do this follow this procedure:
1.Turn the ignition switch ON/OFF quickly 3 times. leave ignition ON the 3rd time.The SIREN will chirp
once and the Door Locks (if connected) will LOCK.
2.Within 5 SECONDS, press and HOLD the Valet Switch for 5 seconds,the SIREN will Chirp 3 Times and
the LED will turn SOLID. The System is now in Code Learning Mode.
3. Press Button #1 of either transmitter for Car #1 operation, the system will respond with either 1 or 2
Siren Chirps.The system has now learned the transmitters code. For a two car operation,follow the steps
B1 and B2 for the second vehicle using button #2 of transmitter.
4.Turn OFF the ignition switch.The system is now ready to be tested.
C. Arm the system and test all input triggers and output devices, escpecially the Starter Interrupt Relay.You
should not be able to start the engine while the alarm is armed or sounding.
D.Once all testing is complete, secure all loose wiring and/or components and reassemble the vehicle.
