Congratulations on your purchase of the Smart Entry

tm

from DesignTech.

Smart Entry

tm

Protects Y ou:
Lock and unlock your doors & trunk by remote control.
Optional Features Include (external relays necessary):

Car Locator
Remote Panic/Rescue alarm
Turn on your domelight by remote control.

Starter-kill to prevent vehicle from being stolen.
Additional alarm input for other sensors.
Passive or active operation (also locks doors).

This system allows for a very quick installation using the generic harness (part
#27004) or with 'plug-in' vehicle specific harnesses. The transmitter which comes
with the unit is already programmed to the receiver and includes a long life lithium
battery that will last many years.

model 20084 has 2 built-in relays to control Lock and Unlock.
All other outputs are negative transistor outputs (-400mA) and require external
relays.

1. Mounting and Connecting the module:

The information that follows shows the generic wire harness list. Custom har­nesses designed to plug into specific vehicles are available and are separately
listed.

Screws or cable ties may be used for mounting the module in the driver's left kick
panel area. W e recommend mounting after everything has been completed and
tested fully. Be sure to leave access to the LED and white push button on the side
of the case for programming.

Make sure that the white antenna wire is as straight as possible and not likely to
be touching any moving parts. Make sure not to let this white antenna wire touch
metal ground as this will severely impede transmitter range.

A description of each wire for the GENERIC Harness
(Model #27004) is as follows:

2. BLACK Chassis ground. (strip off 1/2" of insulation of the end of the

wire and screw to the metal frame in the kick panel area).

3. RED +12 volts constant such as the ignition power feed in the steer-

ing column area. (15 amp fuse must remain in-line).

4. RED/BLACK This is the On/Off Control switch wire. This switch will al-

ready be connected to the harness. You will notice that one
side of the switch goes to the Red/Black wire and the other
side of the switch to Ground.

5. ORANGE Ignition input -- connect to an ignition wire which has +12

volt when key is in the ignition (normal running) position but
has no voltage when the key is out.

6. GREEN/WHITE Trunk or Auxillary output. For Trunk your vehicle must

have an electric trunk release. This is a negative transistor
output (-400mA) - you must use an external relay (not sup­plied) when hooking up this wire. See Page 9 for a detailed
hook-up using a relay.

7. VIOLET Optional Starter Kill, Dome Light or Headlight transistor out-

put (-400mA). This wire must drive an external relay. See
Step 14 for details on setting these options.

8. BLUE Horn/Siren. This is a transistor output (-400 mA) which can

be used to drive an external relay which in turn can power a
horn or a siren. See programing options for changing this
output from horn to siren mode.

9. GRAY Optional alarm input. You can hook this wire to the vehicle's

door pin switch so that when the door is opened the alarm will
sound if the system is armed. This input is assuming negative
polarity. You must use a relay to switch the polarity on posi­tive pin switch vehicles. You can also add additional alarm
sensor inputs -- such as a shock sensor -- to this wire. If you
add more than one input to this wire be sure to diode isolate
each input as shown here.
