INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT: Make all wiring connections to the vehicle before connecting the main

14-pin and auxiliary 2-pin connector harnesses to the receiver and
control module.

1.

Before mounting the BWS-2502 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.
Siren has 6 tones.You can program from one to six tones by removing rubber grommet on back of unit and
removing or adding jumper contacts.

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, the GRAY wire to the GRAY wire ,the WHITE wire to the
VIOLET wire all from 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 the BRS-003 Relay Socket and SPDT Relay in a location where it is hidden from potential thieves.
Find the vehicle’s STARTER wire and cut it in half. Connect the colored wires of the Relay Socket as follows:
BLACK = To STARTER wires on Starter side.
YELLOW = To STARTER wires on Switch side.
GRAY = GRAY wire of the main harness.

9. 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 15 amp fuse from the har-

ness 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/YELLOW Dome Light Wire to the vehicle’s Dome Light Circuit. See the Dome Light

Circuit Diagram on Page 5. YOU MUST

USE A RELAY FOR THIS CONNECTION.

F. The WHITE/ORANGE wire to the vehicle’s PARKING LIGHT circuit. See the Parking Light Circuit

Diagram on Page 5.
ON VEHICLE’S WITH ELECTRIC DOOR LOCKS:
G. 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.
H. 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. If the Second or Third Channel functions are to be used, connect...

A.The BROWN wire to control the Second Channel device. Suggested uses are for Electric Trunk Release

or Remote Engine Starter.This output will deliver a 1 second NEGATIVE pulse output of 250mA when

ever button 2 is pressed continuously for 3 seconds.See the sample Trunk Release Diagram on Page 5.

YOU MUST

USE A RELAY FOR THIS CONNECTION.

B. The WHITE/RED wire to control the third channel device. Suggested uses are for window roll-Up/Down or

External Light control. Negative output when BOTH Buttons are pressed simultaneously. The ouput will con-

tinue for as long as the buttons are held down. YOU MUST USE A RELAY FOR THIS CONNEC-

TION.

CAUTION: Before continuing to the next step, make sure all wiring connections have been properly made.

12. 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.

13. Connect the Main 14 Pin Wiring Harness (and 2 Pin Wiring Harness) to the BW-2502 Receiver and

Control Module.

14. To Power-up and enter Transmitter Code Learning, please follow these instructions:

A. Install the 15 amp 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 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.
