12 VOLT AUTOMOTIVE CONTROL SYSTEM
Thank you for purchasing the 2KOOL automotive 12-volt control system. This is the most advanced programmable control system available today. This system can control interior and exterior neon, strobe, and LED
lights, EL Logos, and customized functions. With an optional relay even more demanding applications such as
trunk lids, shaved door handles and linear actuators can be controlled. Consult with a professional installer
when high current applications are planned.
THE 2KOOL SYSTEM
The 2KOOL System has two components a Keypad, used to send the activation command, and the Receiver
which responds to the commands turning the application on and off.

KEYPAD
The Keypad has nine buttons, eight of which can be used to send the on/off commands, and one which sends an
off command to all trained Receivers.
RECEIVER
The Receiver when trained is used to turn your applications on and off. After training, the receiver will only
respond to the button press you select. Each receiver has a different code so you don’t have to worry about
interfering with another 2KOOL control system.

lights in accordance with the manufacturer recommendations. Connect the
wire from the lights to the Receiver wire, this is the wire on
the right hand side. The wire with the white stripe is the
( + ) wire the other wire is the ground wire.
For power connect the wire coming from the left hand side of
the receiver to a 12 V source and ground. The wire with the
white stripe is +12 Volts, the other wire is connected to
ground.
Receiver Training
Perform the following steps after the Receiver has been wired to a light or set of lights and 12 Volt power.
1. Remove the cover from the Receiver housing
2. Locate the small jumper block shown in the figure below.
3. Place the block over both pins on the Receiver circuit board.
4. Press the keypad button you wish to use several
times. (You will see the light turn on and off)
5. Replace the jumper so that it only covers one pin.
6. Replace the cover on the Receiver.
The Receiver will now respond to the key you pressed.
Note: When the jumper covers both pins (training mode)
the Receiver will respond to any key you press. The
Receiver only remembers the last key you press as its
assigned key.
NOTE
The range of the Keypad can be affected by where you put the receiver in the car. If you are having trouble
activating the receiver with the Keypad move the receiver to another location. See the FAQ section of the
2KOOL website for more information.
