Installation Procedure

1.Install Alarm (RAM, JAG, RAv2)

Install the alarm unit as per manual with the following notes in mind:

• Do not connect lock/unlock on the JAG or RAv2 alarm. The lock/unlock should be
connected on the RAM to allow lock/unlock via sms.

• Some vehicles require “Door Ajar Warning’ to be turned off (10 beeps on arm)

• Read the following two steps first, to understand the requirements for installation of the

TRANS TX Module.

2.Install TRANS TX Module

Connecting the TRANS TX module:

Wires Colours Connections

GND Black Ground
POWER Red +12V
Motor 1
Motor 2

Orange
Blue

MUST connect to central locking motor wire
MUST connect to other central locking motor wire

Positive 1
Positive 2

Yellow
Green

Connect as specified in Common Vehicles, or, connect to any
combination of positive wires to activate arm/disarm. Boot is
optional.

See Example installation if this is not clear.

Negative 1
Negative 2

Brown
White

Default, Setting2: Connect to inhibits. Inhibits the Trans TX
from arming/disarming if the negative is detected before the
motor drive or positive lock/unlock signal. Generally connected
to the switch in the motor.
Setting1: Setting 1 will change these two inputs to the same as
the two positives (Yellow/Green), allowing them to learn
Arm/Disarm signals instead of ‘inhibiting’ arm/disarm.

IMPORTANT: You will have to find any wire(s) that changes only when you lock/unlock from the
factory remote, or, only when you lock unlock manually, in other words, a unique signal that
occurs only when the factory remote is pressed, or, a unique signal that only occurs when you
lock/unlock with you finger. This is how the TRANS TX knows to only arm/disarm the alarm when
the factory remote is pressed.

This example uses a wire that only changes state when the factory remote is pressed
Example 1: Some European cars have a locking mechanism in the fuel cap which only
locks/unlocks when the factory remote is pressed.

This example uses a wire that only changes state when lock/unlocked without the factory remote
Example 2: Some cars will pulse one of the negative wires on the dash lock/unlock button, but
will NOT pulse when you press the factory remote (some cars require a diode to isolate signals).

NOTE:

Orange and blue
wires may be connected
to either central locking
motor wire. Direction
does not matter.

2.Changing Setting 2/Setting 1 (Inhibit mode/Enable Mode)

The intelligent TRANS TX unit can easily switch between Setting 1 ‘Enable mode’ & Setting 2
‘Inhibit Mode’.
Setting 1 ‘Enable mode’: Allows the negative inputs to be connected, and learnt, as wires that
will arm/disarm the alarm.
Setting 2 ‘Inhibit mode’: Allows the negative inputs to be connected to any wire that will inhibit
the arm/disarm if the input goes negative prior to, or at the same time as, the motor drive/positive
inputs. Preventing manually locking/unlocking the car from arming/disarming. This setting is the
default setting.

Carry out this procedure to toggle between the two settings.

1. Disconnect the Trans TX

2. Press and hold the button down.

3. While still holding down the button,

plug the wire harness back into the
Trans TX.

4. Once the unit is power plugged in,
the unit will give 1 flash for setting 1,
and two flashes for setting two. Simply
repeat these steps to choose between
the two settings.
