Before You Begin

1. Be sure to read the manual thoroughly before beginning the installation to ensure a proper understanding of the MS8200 / MS8300 and its functions.

2. Verify system contents:

❑ Main Unit ❑ Two 3-Button Remote Transmitters ❑ Siren

❑ Logic Sensor II ❑ Harnesses

• 18-Pin main harness

• 4-Pin optional sensor harness

• 2-Pin Status LED harness

• 2-Pin Override Switch harness

• 3-Pin door lock harness

• Pre-wired starter kill relay socket with relay

❑ Window Mount Antenna (MS8300 only) ❑ Space Shield III radar sensor (MS8300 only)

3. Discuss the location of the status LED and the Emergency Override Switch with the vehicle’s owner.

4. Discuss the optional features of the MS8200 / MS8300 and the features that must be programmed during installation, with the vehicle’s owner.

5. Check all of the vehicle’s operating systems before and after the installation.

Installation Tips

Do not

1. Use a Volt / Ohm meter to test all wires.

2. Good power and ground connections are essential for proper operation.

3. Route all wires from the engine compartment to the interior of the vehicle through a grommet and use electrical tape and split loom tubing for protection.

4. When adding optional accessories such as door locks, window modules, etc., be sure to fuse each additional accessory power lead separately from the main power source. This will insure that the security system power is retained in the event that an accessory malfunctions.

5. Avoid extending the system’s wires, the supplied wiring harnesses provide sufficient length to connect to the required vehicle circuits. If a wire must be extended, be sure to use the appropriate gauge wire in order to avoid a drop in current.

Mounting Components

Main Unit

The main unit should be mounted in the interior of the vehicle. in the engine compartment. For maximum security, avoid mounting the main unit where it will be easily accessible to a thief.

If you are mounting the unit under the dash board, be sure to mount the unit as high as possible and in a location where it will not interfere with the operation of the pedals.

Be sure to extend the antenna as high as possible so that optimum range can be achieved. Before securing the unit, be sure that you have made all of the necessary switch and jumper

selections and perform a thorough function test of the system. The case of the MS8200 / MS8300 is designed to be mounted using screws, or secured

using wire ties through the wire tie mounting tabs on the bottom of the unit as shown below.

Do not

mount the main unit

Siren

Mount the siren facing downward and away from sources of heat and face the opening downward to prevent water from collecting inside the housing. Be sure that the wires are not easily accessible from underneath the vehicle.

For maximum security, it is best to disguise all under hood system wires with factory style split loom tubing so that they cannot be easily identified by a thief.

Run all wires from the engine compartment into the interior of the vehicle through a grommet.

Antenna (MS8200)

Run the antenna as high as possible in the vehicle. Best operation range will be achieved when the antenna is run vertically, pointing upward. Avoid running the antenna along any existing wire harnesses and route away from metal surfaces.

MS8200 / MS8300 Installation Manual - Page 3

Extended Range Antenna (MS8300)

Mount the extended range antenna to the front windshield behind the rear view mirror for best operation. Be sure that this area is clean and free of any metallic window tint film. In certain vehicles such as those equipped with a heated windshield or a built-in windshield defroster, the antenna should be mounted on a rear or side window. Mount the antenna at least 2 inches below the roof line.

Behind rear view mirror

Logic Sensor II

The Logic Sensor II, included with the system, is designed to be mounted in the interior of the vehicle using a tie wrap or double sided tape. Be sure to avoid mounting the sensor to sources of strong electrical interference such as cellular phone transceivers or the vehicle’s engine computer.

Suggested mounting locations are an air conditioning duct, or a dashboard or center console support brace.

Shock and Motion

When mounted horizontally, the Logic Sensor II will detect both shock and motion. The Logic Sensor II’s motion detection is most effective on the axis on which it is mounted, which means that careful selection of the mounting location of the sensor will help to insure it’s effectiveness.

Shock Only

When mounted vertically, the Logic Sensor will detect shock or impacts to the vehicle only and will be unaffected by slow rocking movements of the vehicle. This is especially useful in vehicles that are normally parked in areas subject to high wind or parked in tall parking structures that tend to move or sway.

Override Switch

Mount the Override Switch in a location near the driver where it is easily accessible but not plainly visible. Plug the blue override switch connector into the blue 2-pin socket on the main unit.

Be sure that the switch cannot accidentally be pressed or damaged by movement of passengers or contents within the vehicle.

LED Status Indicator

Mount the status LED so that it is visible from both sides of the vehicle. Plug the white LED connector into white 2-pin socket on the Main Unit

Space Shield III (MS8300)

Mount the Space Shield III facing upward in a central location within the vehicle. For optimum performance, avoid mounting the sensor under or facing metal objects or support structures as they will alter the shape of the sensor’s protection zones.

Also, be sure to mount the sensor in a location where items such as coins or coffee cups cannot be placed on top of the sensor. Mount the sensor securely so that it will not move or shift when the vehicle is in motion.

Suggested mounting locations are in the center of the vehicle, under the center console, or under the back seat.
