To program transmitters to operate the RS unit:
1) Turn the ignition switch “On”.
2) Within 7 seconds flip the Valet Switch “on” and “off” 5 times. The parking lights
will flash once, then turn back on indicating that the unit is ready to receive the
first transmitter’s code.
3) Press the transmitter’s lower right “START” button. The RS unit will acknowledge learning and storing the transmitter code by turning off the parking lights,
quickly flashing them once and then turning them back on.
4)Repeat the previous step for each remaining transmitter. Be sure to wait for
the parking lights to turn back on before pressing the next transmitter’s “START”
button.
The RS unit will automatically exit the transmitter programming mode, which is
indicated by the parking lights turning off, 8 seconds after the last transmission, if
the ignition switch is turned “On”, or if a fourth transmitter code is entered.

Introduction & Safety Considerations
Feature #3- “Double Unlock Pulse” is for certain newer vehicles requiring two
pulses for unlocking the doors.
Feature #4- “Engine Running Time” selects the remote start engine run period to
be 15 minutes or 30 minutes.
Feature #5- “Starter Cranking Time” slightly lengthens the starter engagement,
which is useful for vehicles which may have difficult-to-start engines.
Feature #6- “1 Or 2 Pulse Remote Start Activation” changes the Pink “Start Acti-
vation Input” wire’s operation so that two Negative pulses instead of one is
required for an external device to activate the remote starting feature. This
feature, explained on page 24, will allow an existing keyless entry system to
activate the RS unit’s remote start feature.
Programming Transmitters
The RS-7K2 comes with two pre-programmed transmitters, but up to four transmitters
total may be programmed to operate the RS unit. Each transmitter has its own
unique “code”, and when a new transmitter is programmed, all previous codes will
be erased. So when an additional or replacement transmitter is added to operate

Congratulations on your purchase of the RS-7K2 Keyless Entry and Remote
Starter unit. The RS-7K2 offers you the convenience of locking and unlocking
your vehicle’s doors with the press of a button, and the starting of your vehicle's
engine from the comfort of your home or office, allowing your vehicle to warm up
in winter and cool down in summer. The RS-7K2 can also be optionally configured to remotely open your vehicle’s trunk.
We highly recommend that this system be professionally installed, as the
complexity of the modern automobile and the nature of circuits to be accessed is
often beyond the abilities of most do-it-yourselfers.
There are several important safety considerations with using and installing
the RS-7K2 keyless entry and remote starter. Among them are:
- This unit is for vehicles with an automatic transmission only. Installation in a
vehicle equipped with a manual transmission can result in property damage or
personal injury.
- This unit is for fuel injected gasoline or diesel engines.
- Children should not be left unattended in, or be allowed to play with the activat-
ing transmitters of any remote starter equipped vehicle.
- Do not use the remote starter feature in an enclosed garage or other structure.

3) Select the feature to be changed by flipping the Valet Switch the same number
of times as the feature number; the RS-unit’s response is an equal number of
parking light flashes.
4)Once the feature has been confirmed by the parking light flashes, press either
the transmitter’s upper left “LOCK” button or the upper right “UNLOCK” button.
- The “LOCK” button sets the feature to the “default” position, and the RS unit will
flash the parking lights once to acknowledge receiving this command.
- The “UNLOCK” button sets the feature to the “optional” position, and the RS unit
will flash the parking lights twice to acknowledge receiving this command.
5)Select another feature by repeating step 3), or allow the unit to exit Features
Programming Mode by simply not performing any programming actions- after 8
seconds the RS unit briefly turns on the parking lights to indicate its exit from
Features Programming Mode.
The programmable features:
Feature #1- “Doors Lock/Unlock Upon Ignition On/Off” configures the RS unit to
automatically lock the doors when the ignition is turned “On” and unlock the
doors when the ignition is turned “Off”.
Feature #2- “Door Lock Pulse Time” selects .75 second for most vehicles’ power
37
Programmable Features

Receiver Module:
An essential part of the RS-7K2 is the plug-in window mount Receiver Module. The
unit will not operate unless this Receiver Module is plugged-in. Select a desired
mounting location for the Receiver Module; optimum performance is obtained by
mounting this module high and unobstructed on the vehicle’s glass, such as the
windshield behind the rearview mirror. Make sure the glass surface is clean and
free of dust, grease, or debris. Peel the backing off of the adhesive tape and affix
the Receiver Module. Carefully route the module’s 3-wire ribbon cable to the RS
unit control module, and plug the cable into the Black 3-pin port on the rear of the
module.
Valet Switch:
Mount this switch in a location that’s easily accessible to the user. Route the wires
to the RS unit's control module and plug the 2-wire connector into the matching 2pin port on the control module. The Valet Switch is used to place the system into
Valet Mode, Features Programming Mode, and Transmitter Programing Mode. In
everyday operation, the “on” or “off” status of this switch controls Valet Mode. For
the two programming modes, this switched is toggled “on” and “off” within 7
seconds of the ignition switch being turned “On” (for transmitter programming
mode) or “Off” (for features programming mode).

In cases where an additional Ignition or second Starter circuit is present in the
vehicle, configure optional relays
as needed. This Red 3-pin port

Deactivation
- After 15 or 30 minutes (programmable) the RS unit will turn the engine off.
- To stop the engine by remote control, simply press the lower left button again.
- Stepping on the brake pedal will turn the engine off.
- Opening the hood will turn the engine off. If the hood is open when an activation
attempt is made, the RS unit will not respond, and will not start the engine.
- Turning “on” the Valet Switch will also stop the engine.
Valet Mode
The RS unit may be placed into a “valet mode” which prevents the remote
start feature from being activated. Valet Mode should always be used when you
do not wish for remote start to be operated, such as when you leave your vehicle
with a valet parking attendant, mechanic or if you loan it to another person. An
“on/off toggle” switch, the Valet Switch, is used for this, and it is typically mounted
within easy reach of the driver. To engage the Valet Mode:
- At any time simply flip the Valet Switch to the “on” position. Three seconds later
the parking lights will flash 3 times to indicate Valet Mode.
Once the RS unit is in Valet Mode, an attempt to remote start will instead be
acknowledged by 4 parking light flashes, but no starting attempt.
- To turn off Valet Mode, with the ignition switch “On” simply flip the Valet Switch

Installation Cautions and Warnings
Do not attempt to install this Remote Car Starter into a manual transmission vehicle! Doing so could cause serious property damage, personal
injury, and will void all warranties!
Be aware of, and avoid, any airbag circuitry! Due to the fact that an installer
will not be in a normal, upright seated position, severe injury may occur in
an accidental airbag deployment!
The use of a Digital Multimeter (DMM) or Volt-Ohm Meter (VOM) instead of
a standard testlight is required. This can greatly reduce the risk of an accidental airbag deployment or on-board computer damage.
Battery gases are explosive! Avoid sparks and do not smoke while working near the vehicle's battery!
Always protect wires ran through the firewall from sharp metal edges and
hot parts of the engine! Always fuse positive wires at their source!

IMPORTANT!
After reading this manual, start the installation by affixing the
WARNING DECAL to a visible area in the engine compartment!
Installation Considerations: This entire booklet should be read before starting
the installation. An understanding of which control module wires are to be used
and their functions is essential. Installations will vary from car to car, as some
control module wires are required, while others are optional. Before starting the
installation, it should be determined which control module wires will be used.
Most installers will list these wires, then "map out" the installation by locating and
noting the target wires in the vehicle. This will also determine the best location for
the RS control module, which is mounted upon completion of the installation.
This Remote Start Unit duplicates the actions that occur within the ignition
switch when you use your key to start the engine. Because of this, most of the
main wiring harness connections will be made at the ignition switch harness. The
ignition switch wires usually are high amperage circuits, which means that high
reliability connections must be made- soldering of all connections is recommended.
Caution!

This power doorlock system differs from the negative and positive pulse systems in
that there is no doorlock control unit or relays. In this type of system, the switches
themselves supply the positive voltage directly to the doorlock actuators, and, more
importantly, provide the return ground path. It is important to note that the lock and
unlock wires in this system
lock and unlock wires must be "opened", or cut, to make the proper connections.
Examine the wires on the back of the switch. (Normally 5 wires will be found)
1) One wire will show +12 Volts, regardless of the switch's position.
2) Two wires will be grounded regardless of the switch's position.
3) One wire will show +12 Volts only when the switch is pushed to "Lock".
4) One wire will show +12 Volts only when the switch is pushed to "Unlock".
- When the lock /unlock wires are found, they must be cut one at a time. If the correct
wires are cut the door locking system should not operate from the primary switch.
- Notice that in the diagram the driver's switch is the primary or “Master” switch (in
some vehicles, the primary switch is on the passenger's side). The half of the cut
wires which come from this primary switch are referred to as the "Switch" side. The
half of the cut wires which go to the secondary switch are referred to as the "Motor"
side even though the cut is made between the switches.

"Accessory" positions. This wire is found in the ignition switch wiring harness
(see diagram on previous page).
Note: If two or more Primary Ignition wires are present, you will need to connect
an optional relay or relays to the 3-pin Red port (see pages 33-34).

Warning: The Positive pulse system can be confused with the 5-wire Reversing
Polarity system. This is because both systems show +12 Volt pulses on the “Lock”
and “Unlock” wires when the vehicle’s switch is pressed respectively. It is critical
to identify which system is present, since if +12 Volts is pulsed into a Reversing
Polarity system, which rests at ground, a direct short circuit will occur.

The following sections describe typical power doorlocking systems, which are
categorized as “3 Wire Negative Pulse”; “3 Wire Positive Pulse”, and “5 Wire
Reversing Polarity” systems
3 Wire Negative Pulse Systems
This power doorlock system is simplest of all doorlocking systems. A Negative
pulse system will have only three wires at the doorlock switch.
Examine the wires on the back of the doorlock switch:
1) One wire will show Ground, regardless of the switch's position.
2) One wire will show Ground only when the switch is pushed to "Lock".
3) One wire will show Ground only when the switch is pushed to "Unlock".
The lock & unlock wires coming out of the switch operate the vehicle’s doorlock
relays or a control unit with on-board relays, therefore the lock & unlock wires will
read Positive voltage, up to +12 Volts, when the switch is at rest. The correct
connection point is between the switches and the relays. The Red connector's
Green and Blue wires can be connected directly to the vehicle’s Negative pulse
system since only a Negative pulse is required to operate the vehicle’s on-board
doorlocking relays. If the vehicle’s Negative pulse doorlocking system requires
more than 500mA Negative output, optional relays must be used.

if it does not, power doorlocks may be added to the vehicle in the form of installing
a model DS-2 actuator to each of the doors, along with a doorlock interface. The
doorlock interface needed to allow the RS unit to operate the doorlocks will depend upon the type of power doorlocking system the vehicle is equipped with.

The RS unit utilizes two different methods of monitoring the vehicle during the
remote starting process. Consider both methods before deciding which one to
use. Normally the Smart Start method is used, especially for diesel engine applications in which the vehicle has no true tach signal available. An adjustment

This method uses a voltage sensing circuit which reads the vehicle's voltage
before attempting to start, and then monitors for a voltage increase which occurs
when the alternator has output. The Orange/Black wire connects to a constant
12 Volt source; the recommended location is the vehicle's battery. Once all of
the wiring connections are made, the Smart Start voltage sensing input must be

the glow plugs, or the wire which illuminates the “Wait To Start” light on the instrument panel. When connected, the RS unit will not engage the starter if the Green
wire has +12 Volts; in other words, using this wire simply delays the RS unit’s
engagement of the starter. If the “Wait To Start” light in the vehicle has a Negative switching circuit, it can still be used by simply reversing the polarity with an
optional relay.

kick panel area, in the wiring harness which is routed into the cab from the door.
The Light Blue wire has a -Ground pulse whenever the RS unit has an unlock
output or its remote start operation is activated.
If needed, the Light Blue wire allows the RS-7K2 to

as an existing keyless entry or alarm system to activate the remote start operation. If the Pink wire receives a Negative pulse, the RS unit will start the vehicle's
engine, provided that all safety circuits are in the proper status. After the engine
has been started by remote control, another Negative pulse on the Pink wire will
turn the RS unit off, stopping the engine.
The Pink wire can be connected to an available auxiliary output of an existing
Remote Security System, and the RS-7K2's remote control may also be used to
activate the remote start operation.
Should it be desired to activate the RS unit’s remote start operation from an
existing keyless entry system, programmable feature #6 will configure the Pink
wire to activate the remote start feature only if it receives two Negative pulses
within 10 seconds. This allows configuring the RS unit to remote start when the
OEM transmitter’s “LOCK” button is pressed twice. In most cases the existing
keyless entry system will have Negative switching door lock circuits to which the
Pink wire may be connected directly. In the other cases, an optional relay is
needed to reverse Positive polarity to Negative. When feature #6 is selected for
“two pulse” operation, once the RS unit has started the engine, the Pink wire must
receive two more Negative pulses within 10 seconds to stop the engine.
The Pink wire allows for alternative devices such
(-) Start Activation Input
a. Without starting the engine, turn the ignition key to the "On" position.
b. If the LED indicator remains off the unit has been properly tuned.
c. If the LED indicator flashes there is noise on the Orange/Black wire's connec tion and it will be necessary to relocate the connection.
2) Tach Sense:
If the vehicle is generally hard to start (example: requiring the starter to be engaged for more than 1 second) this method will produce more consistent remote
starting. With this method the Orange/Black wire reads the engine speed (tach)
information from a wire in the vehicle. The Orange/Black wire connects to the
vehicle's tach wire, which is found in the engine compartment, although in some
cases it may also be located inside the vehicle. To use a multimeter to verify the
correct tach wire, set it for AC Volts scale. The correct wire will read 1 to 6 volts
AC with the engine idling, and will increase with engine speed. An additional
adjustment control and LED indicator allows tuning the unit’s tach wire sensitivity.
1) Position the selector switch for Tach Sense (left position).
2) Locate the Tach Sense adjustment and LED indicator on the side of the unit.
Ensure that both adjustment screws completely counterclockwise.

3) Start the engine with the key; then turn the Tach Sense adjustment screw
slowly clockwise until the LED indicator illuminates solid.
- To increase sensitivity, thus the crank time, turn the adjustment screw counterclockwise.
- To decrease sensitivity, thus the crank time, turn the adjustment screw clockwise.
22-Gauge White Wire:
Connection Recommended.
Parking Light Output
The White wire is a +12 Volt output to the
vehicle’s exterior parking lights and its function is to visually confirm system operations. The parking lights are also used as indicators when programming features. Connect the White wire to the vehicle's 12 Volt parking light circuit as
shown in the accompanying diagrams. The correct wire will show 12 Volts only
when the headlight switch is in the "Parking Light" and "Head Light" positions.
This wire can usually be found at the headlight switch, and various other locations within the vehicle, such as the rear body harness or firewall connector.
Caution: When such a wire is located, be sure to also test that it is non-rheostated:
While metering the wire, operate the dash light dimmer control. The correct wire
will show no change in voltage when the dimmer is operated. Some vehicles
have a parking-light relay which is triggered by a Negative signal from the headlight switch. In these vehicles, the White wire must be connected after the relay,
usually at the Fuse/Junction Block. Do NOT connect the White wire directly to
