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.

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.

Space Shield III
The Space Shield III is a dual zone proximity sensor that uses high frequency radar signals to
detect the presence of moving objects within a defined area. For more information, see
Mounting Components
Operation
While the system is armed, each time the Space Shield III detects movement in the Exterior
zone, the siren will emit a warning chirp. When movement is detected in the Interior zone, the
system will trigger.
The Space Shield III can be set to operate in one of two ways: with and without Perimeter Alarm.
To select the Operating Mode of the Space Shield III, see
Warn Away Trigger
With Perimeter Alarm
When movement is detected in the Exterior zone 3 times, within 15 seconds, the system will
trigger.
Without Perimeter Alarm
Detected movement in the Exterior zone will cause the siren to emit a warning chirp. Only
movement in the Interior zone will trigger the system.
