CrimeStopper CS-883 OEM Installation And Operating Instructions Manual

CS-883 OEM

ALARM UPGRADE FOR FACTORY KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEMS

INSTALLATION & OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

INTRODUCTION

CONGRATULATIONS on your choice of an Alarm Upgrade System by Crimestopper Security Products Inc. This
booklet contains the information necessary for installing, using, and maintaining this system. If any questions
arise, contact your installation dealer or Crimestopper Security Products Inc. at the Tech Support number below.

*IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
This system does not improve or affect the range of the factory remote keyless entry transmitters. This is

an ADD-ON system only. The arm/disarm range of this system will be identical to that of the Factory
Keyless System’s lock/unlock range.

This installation book is designed for the installer or individual with an existing understanding of automotive
electrical systems, along with the ability to test and connect wires for proper operation. To ease installation, we
suggest that you READ THIS MANUAL before beginning your installation. The information contained in this
manual is provided as a GENERAL GUIDLINE and it may differ from your vehicle! If you are not confident with
performing the installation steps as required by this system, we suggest seeking professional installation.

INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS & WARNINGS

BEFORE BEGINNING, check all vehicle manufacturer cautions and warnings regarding electrical service (AIR

BAGS, ABS BRAKES, BATTERY, ETC.).
DO NOT ROUTE ANY WIRING THAT MAY BECOME ENTANGLED with brake, and gas pedals, steering

column, or any other moving parts in the vehicle.

USE A VOLT/OHM METER if you need to test any wire. Test Lights can damage a vehicle’s computer systems.

COMPONENT MOUNTING

Control Module: DO NOT mount wiring harness or control module where they can become entangled with
moving parts such as brake/gas/clutch pedals, or the steering column! The control module should be mounted in
a concealed location. Do not mount the control unit in the engine compartment.

LED: Mount in a visible location on the dashboard or console. The LED is your visual deterrent to a would-be
intruder or thief, plus it is required when programming certain options of the system.

Valet/Program Button: Mount button in a hidden but accessible location. It is REQUIRED for emergency
disarm, programming, and valet mode.

WIRING

(2) VIOLET WIRES: ON-BOARD RELAY (10A) IMMOBILIZER CIRCUIT #1 NORMALLY OPEN

These wires come directly from the terminals of an on-board Relay to immobilize the Coil or Fuel Pump Circuit in
the vehicle. Selected the circuit you want to interrupt, cut it, and connect each cut end to a VIOLET wire.

NOTE (1): This is a high-security, normally open connection. If the alarm system is unplugged or loses
power, the circuit will still be immobilized!
NOTE (2): This circuit has a maximum load of 10A and should NOT be used to interrupt a high current
wire such as an Ignition supply or Starter circuit from the ignition switch!

WHITE/RED: (-) NEGATIVE HORN/SIREN OUTPUT

Connect to wire that activates the factory horn. If you choose to use this output with a standard alarm (warble)
siren, then it should be connected to the black (negative) wire of the siren. Connect the red wire of the siren to
constant (+) 12 Volts. NOTE: This wire is preset for a factory vehicle horn. You must change the programming for
siren use. See option #15.

BLACK WIRE: SYSTEM CHASSIS GROUND

THIS WIRE MUST BE CONNECTED TO CHASSIS METAL OF THE VEHICLE. Scrape away any paint or dirt
from the area to ensure a good connection.

RED WIRE: +12V POWER INPUT (15 amp fuse)

Connect to +12 Volt source with supplied fuse & holder. Connect to the vehicle’s battery Positive terminal.
(2) WHITE WIRES: +12V FLASHING PARKING LIGHT OUTPUTS (10 amp fused)

Connect ONE of the white wires to the switched parking light wire at back of light switch, the kick panel or
fusebox. If these locations are not possible, connect directly to one of the parking lights at the front of the vehicle.

NOTE: Many European vehicles require separate right and left circuits. Use this second white wire to
connect to the 2nd light circuit on your European vehicle, otherwise do not use both white wires.

ORANGE WIRE: (-) NEGATIVE STARTER DISABLE (Armed output)

Ground output when system is armed. This output is used for disabling the starter or to activate other optional
devices such as scanner LED’s, window control modules, voice modules etc. For starter kill, cut starter wire and
connect between 87A and 30 on a relay. Connect orange wire to 85 and connect 86 to an Ignition source that
has voltage in “ON” and “CRANKING” positions at the Ignition switch. (Starter disable relay not included)

WIRING

PINK & PINK/WHITE WIRE: ON-BOARD RELAY (10A) IMMOBILIZER CIRCUIT #2 NORMALLY OPEN

These wires come directly from the terminals of an on-board relay to immobilize the Coil or Fuel Pump Circuit in
the vehicle. Select the circuit you want to immobilize, cut it, and connect one end to the Pink wire and the other
end to the Pink/White wire.

NOTE (1): This is a high-security, normally open connection. If the alarm system is unplugged or loses
power, the circuit will still be immobilized!
NOTE (2): This circuit has a maximum load of 10A and should NOT be used to interrupt a high current
wire such as an Ignition supply or Starter circuit from the ignition switch!

YELLOW WIRE: +12 VOLTS IGNITION SWITCHED

Connect to an Ignition wire that shows +12 Volts with the key in both “On” and “Start” positions.

BLACK/WHITE WIRE: +12 VOLTS POWER TRUNK RELASE INHIBIT INPUT (If Equipped)

Connect this wire to the positive side of trunk release solenoid. This input wire will allow the CS-883OEM system
to sense when the Trunk Release Button is pressed on the Factory Remote Control. This will prevent an
unwanted false alarm if your vehicle has a powered trunk/hatch release. At the instant a positive pulse is sensed
on this wire, the trunk trigger and shock sensor inputs are bypassed so the 883 will not trigger. If the trunk is then
closed (sensed by trunk pin) it will re-arm in 3 seconds, otherwise remaining parts of the 883 system are STILL
ARMED EVEN THOUGH THE TRUNK IS OPEN and must be disarmed by Unlocking with the remote before
entering the vehicle.

BLUE WIRE: (-) or (+) DOOR TRIGGER (PROGRAMMABLE, DEFAULT = NEGATIVE)

Connect to door pin activation circuit in vehicle:

• Negative type door circuits show Ground when any door is opened and 12 volts when all doors are closed.
Some vehicles may have isolated door triggers. In this case you may need to run additional wires from other
doors or go directly to the wire at the vehicle’s dome light.

• Positive type door circuits show 12 Volts when a door is opened such as on many Ford/Mercury vehicles.

*TIP: Many recent vehicles have door pin switches incorporated in the door latch mechanism itself,
therefore there are not any “plunger” type door switches located in the door jamb. If your vehicle has
no door pins, an alternative connection may be at an interior light or locating the door triggers at a
control module elsewhere in the vehicle. Call Tech Support for assistance.
