SYSTEM OVERVIEW

The PUSH BUTTON START SYSTEM supplements a standard automotive ignition switch with
a radio controlled secure start system. The driver is able to control the ACC, IGN, and STR
functions by use of an illuminated push button.

The system is designed to be wired in parallel to the existing ignition switch.
The switching functions of the ignition switch, which in a standard automotive system are

used to switch battery power to accessory, ignition, and starter circuits, are replaced by
3 relays controlled by the PUSH BUTTON START SYSTEM. The individual relays are used to
provide the system power to the accessory, ignition, and starter circuits.

INSTALLATION - WIRING OVERVIEW

Notes to the Installer:

1. If this is the first time you have installed the FLAMING RIVER PUSH BUTTON START SYSTEM into a vehicle, it is recommended that the complete system should be temporarily
powered up and tested outside of the vehicle prior to final installation and hard wiring into the vehicle. Either a standard 12 volt battery or a 12 VDC power supply is adequate to
power the system. Fuses should be inserted as needed into the supply circuit. This bench-top testing of the system will allow the installer to become familiar with the operation of
the system as well as the wiring, fusing, and load requirements.

2. Follow good automotive wiring practice for installation of the system.

3. All wires on the switch harness, main harness, and relay harness are printed to show the connection to/from information. In addition, a wire chart is included in the instructions to
show the wiring information.

4. The system uses the Deutsch DTM type connectors for connection to the main and antenna harnesses. All connectors are keyed with different unique housing configurations. The
Deutsch connectors may be disconnected and reconnected as needed to route the harness and antenna wires as needed. Do not remove the individual wires from the Deutsch
housing shells unless the wires are damaged and require repair.

INSTALLATION - WIRING OVERVIEW (Overview Continued)

WARNING: The Push Button Entry System must be installed by a trained professional.

5. Arc welding on the frame or the body of the vehicle may generate or induce high voltages on the frame used for grounding or within individual electronic modules. When any electric
arc type (for example MIG, TIG, PLASMA) welding is required on the vehicle, take the following precautions to protect the Push Button Start System:

a. Disconnect the positive and negative terminals from the primary battery.
b. Disconnect both of the Deutsch wiring harness connectors from the Near Reader control unit module. The harness and module may be left in place if the welding operation is well

away from the control module.
c. If welding near any of the modules, remove the modules from the vicinity of the welding operation. It is not necessary to remove the wiring harness from the area as the harness

does not contain any sensitive electronic components.

STEP 1

1. The PUSH BUTTON START SYSTEM is designed to be installed into a vehicle that utilizes a standard 4 position and 4 terminal 12 VDC automotive rated ignition switch, such as the
Flaming River Ignition Switch part number FRIGN1. For reference, the 4 switch positions utilized by turning the key clockwise are:

t Accessory (Accessory terminal has 12V in this position)
t Locked / Off (Key may be removed in this position, no power to any terminals in this position)
t Ignition / Accessory (Ignition and Accessory terminals have 12V in this position)
t Start (momentary position only, Ignition and Start terminals have 12V in this position)

The 4 terminals are

t Battery (direct to battery circuit, always powered)
t Accessory (lights, radio, other power options)
t Ignition (ignition power to coil assembly)
t Start (provides power to started circuit, connect to neutral safety switch or starter solenoid)

It is highly recommended that standard ignition switch and wiring should be kept intact to be used as a back-up
system to the push button start system.

The PUSH BUTTON START SYSTEM will require access to the battery, accessory, ignition, and starter circuits.
It is also recommended that a battery kill or similar switch should be installed to allow the system to be powered down

if the vehicle is stored for an extended length of time, as the system draws a small amount of power while the vehicle
is turned off. The system will not be damaged by repeated power up/ power down cycles and will return to a “ready”
state each time it is powered up.

2. Locate and identify the circuit terminals on the back of the ignition switch assembly.
ACC – Accessory Terminal
IGN – Ignition Terminal
ST – Starter Terminal
BAT – Battery Terminal

3. Dedicated Circuit required for System Power:
The system requires a dedicated unswitched (constant hot) 3 amp fused circuit to power the near reader control module, and provide power to the switch LED. The

dedicated unswitched (constant hot) 3 amp fused circuit should not be used for other functions, as if the power to this circuit is interrupted while the system is on and the vehicle
is running, it will cause the system to lose power which will turn off relays and the associated circuits that the relays are operating.

STEP 2

1. Connect Push Button Switch Harness Connectors to the Push Button
Switch Terminals (See Figure 1).

2. Mount the Push Button Switch to an interior location in the vehicle.
The switch has been designed to mount into a 7/8 inch diameter hole.

3. NOTE: The tan and gray wires are connected to the mating wires
on the main wire harness. All wires are printed to show the connection
information.

The red wire is connected to the unswitched dedicated hot 3 amp
fuse circuit.

The black wire is connected to the vehicle ground; preferably a common
ground point should be used for all of the system ground wires.

STEP 4

1. Mount the module to a flat surface using 1/4" or equivalent screws (not included). During installation
the wiring harnesses can be removed temporarily from the control modules. The wire harness
connectors (Deutsch) are keyed to insure correct orientation when reattached to the control modules.

STEP 5

1. Mount and position in a convenient orientation the three (3) relay pack assembly to a flat surface.

STEP 6

Relay pack wiring (please refer to the relay pack wiring diagram).

1. Operation: The system uses standard automotive rated Form C relays to
switch the high current loads. A schematic of the relay is shown along with the
pinouts as viewed from the wire entry side. The relay part number, pinouts, and
load ratings (40 amps for the N.O. pin) are printed on the sides of the relays. The
relays do not use internal diode or resistor snubbers.

FOR ALL RELAYS: Pins 30 and 86 are connected to B+, 12VDC. Pin 85 is pulled
low by the system to power the coil; pin 87 is the high current output which is
enabled when the coil is powered. Pin 87A is not used.

2. Prior to any connection to the main harness, the individual relay circuits may be tested by momentarily switching the yellow, green, or blue wires to ground, this will activate the
relay coils , and enable the relay load circuits on pin 87 of the relays.

The yellow, green, or blue wires (from relay coil pin 85) are then connected to the same color and marking of wires from the main harness. Wire lengths may be shortened or
lengthened as needed.

3. IMPORTANT: A test lamp or other method should be used to verify proper operation and sequencing of the relays with the system prior to hard-wiring the relays to the ACC, IGN, and
STARTER circuits. It is important to run this test to ensure that any neutral transmission safety interlocks and clutch interlocks are completely functional, and that the relays will
function correctly when the yellow, green, or blue wires are switched to ground.

4. All of the red wires (to 12VDC) from the relay pack may be spliced together to a larger gage single battery wire. This circuit should contain a fuse or circuit breaker with adequate
capacity to handle the combined ACC / IGN / STR loads.

Alternatively, the 3 red relay coil wires (these are the smaller 18 gauge wires at pin 86 of the relay packs) may be connected to the dedicated low power circuit, with the combined
ACC / IGN / STR red wires connected to a high current fused or circuit breaker protected circuit.

STEP 7

1. Wire the main harness.
a. The red wire from the main harness should be terminated to the dedicated 3 amp constant hot fused circuit.

b. The black wire should be terminated to an adequate ground point.
c. The blue, green and yellow wires are connected to the mating wires on the relay harness. These wires are switched by the control unit to ground in order to switch the

corresponding relays. The wires should never be tied directly to 12 volts without a load, as this will short the output transistors and damage the unit.

d. The docking station cable should be routed and connected at this time.
