Mounting the Control Module:
Find a suitable location to secure the alarm control module within the passenger’s compartment of the vehicle.
Never mount the alarm control module in the engine compartment or in the trunk. In addition, never mount the
alarm control module in the direct path of the heater. Secure the alarm control module by using wire ties or drill
two 1/8" holes and secure the module to the frame of the vehicle with the screws provided.
Valet Switch
Select a mounting location for the switch that is easily accessible to the driver of the vehicle. The switch does
not have to be concealed. However, concealing the switch is always recommended, as this provides an even
higher level of security to the vehicle. Mount the valet switch in a hidden but accessible location. Route the valet
switch wires to the control module.
LED Status Indicator
The LED status indicator should be mounted in a highly visible area. Leave at least 6mm of space behind the
mounting location for LED housing. Once a suitable location is chosen, drill a 1/4" hole. Run the LED wires
through the hole then press the 2-pin LED housing into the place. Route the LED wires to the control module.
Antenna Wire
For maximum possible range, keep the antenna wire away from the alarm harnesses. Stretch out the antenna in
another direction and keep it as straight as possible. Do not connect the antenna wire to ground. Do not
lengthen or shorten the antenna wire. Do not coil or wind the antenna wire around another harness.

The main wire harness contains 11 wires which all have a specific purpose. Follow the wiring recommendations
enclosed for each wire. Wires not used should be released from the harness connector or taped off to prevent
accidental shorting.
HC4: White 12-Pin Main Harness
Wiring
Yellow Wire: +12VDC Ignition Input
Connect the Yellow wire to a +12 volt wire that is switched on and off by the ignition key. The correct wire will
indicate +12 volts when the ignition key is in the on and start positions. Do not connect the yellow wire to the
“ACC” wire coming from the ignition switch.
Green Wire: (-) Common Door Pin Input
The green wire connects to the common wire of the vehicle that switches on the dome light. Normally this wire is
located at one of the door jamb switches. For some vehicles it may be necessary to connect the green wire directly
to the switched turn on wire at the dome light. The green wire connects to negative switched circuits only
.
Blue Wire: (-) Hood / Trunk / Auxiliary Trigger Input
The blue wire is an instant grounding trigger input for optional hood/trunk grounded pin switches or any
electronic sensor.

Violet Wire: (+) Common Door Pin Input
The violet wire connects to the common wire of the vehicle that switches on the dome light. Normally this wire is
located at one of the door jamb switches. For some vehicles it may be necessary to connect the violet wire directly
to the switched turn on wire at the dome light. The violet wire connects to positive switched circuits only.

Brown Wire: (-) Siren Output
Connect the brown wire to the Negative wire from an electronic siren (Siren Supplied). Connect t the remaining
wire from the siren to +12 volt. (Battery +)
The Brown wire can also be programmed for (-) horn honk output. (See Alarm Feature Programming to change
the setting)
Red/White Wire: (-) 300mA Programmable Channel 3 Output (Default Trunk Release)
The Red/White wire is typically used to release the power trunk by remote. An additional relay is usually
required as shown in the diagram below. This wire can also be programmed for Domelight Supervision Control
or 2nd unlock function (See Alarm Feature Programming to change the setting)
White Wire: (+/-) Parking Light Relay Output
Connect the white wire to the parking light wire coming from the headlight switch. Do not connect the white
wire to the dashboard lighting dimmer switch – Damage to the dimmer will result. Use a volt meter to test the
connection point before connecting the white wire. While checking, rotate the dimmer switch to make sure you
do not have the dimmer lead. The limitation of the white wire is 10 Amp max. Do not exceed this limit or
damage to the alarm and parking light relay will result.
The white/red wire is the input to the flashing parking light relay. The connection of the white/red wire will
determine the output polarity of the flashing parking light relay. Connect the white/red wire to (+) battery to have
(+) output from the relay or connect the white/red wire to chassis ground to have ground output from the relay.
White/Red Wire: (+/-) Parking Light Relay Input
Vacant Socket: No Connection
Black Wire: Chassis Ground
This is main ground connection of the alarm module. Make this connection to a solid section of the vehicle
chassis. Do not connect this wire to any existing ground wires supplied by the factory wire loom, make the
connection to the vehicle’s chassis directly.
Red Wire: +12VDC Battery Input
Connect the Red wire directly to the (+) battery post for best operation of the alarm system.
