Super Selective
Receiver Board:

The new receiver design allows for a
much narrower band width reception. It
rejects RF interference that causes incon­sistent range in similar type products and
improves the range of transmission
between remote and receiver.Average
minimum range is 100’ although it is com­mon to get between 150’-300’. Our
extended range model with windshield
mounted receiver allows for up to 500’ of
range.

Input Zone Out Feature:

If a door input, shock or sensor input
remains on for 4 consecutive cycles (45
seconds) that input will be ignored. If the
input returns to a non-triggered state for
30 seconds it will be monitored by the
system again.

memory.
NOTE: Once you enter the code learn­ing mode, the system will throw out any
previous programmed remotes. If you are

: If you wish to

programming two remotes with the same
code, the system will acknowledge only
the first remote. Even though both
remotes will operate the system.

INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Mount the module and pro­gram dip switch functions
(see page 3):

Look for a suitable mounting location
under the dash or inside the vehicle that
will be difficult for a potential thief to
locate the module, but allow for a conve­nient installation position.
Keep the antenna wire away from wire
looms, computer modules and metallic
objects for better range.Wire tie or
screw the module securely.

2. Mount the Siren:

Locate a suitable place under the hood,
away from hot and moving engine parts
such as manifolds, turbo chargers, fan
belts, etc. Secure siren by screwing brack­et to a solid location under the hood.
Make sure that there is no outside access
to both siren and wire from underneath
the vehicle or through the grill.
Point the siren down so that water may
not accumulate inside the siren bell.
Ground the black wire of the siren to a
solid ground; preferably, use a star washer
and ring terminal.
