Installation Basics

If you are new to installing Firstech alarm units, we recommend that you review this manual in its entirety
prior to installing your first unit.

Key Points to Consider Before Installation:

New Option Menus

The new option menu differs completely from other Firstech systems. It is important to familiarize
yourself with these as it will save time in most applications.

Option Programmer (FT-OP500)
Most options on this unit can be programmed with the remote(s) as well as the Option Programmer

(OP500). Please note the system must be disarmed before connecting the OP500. Otherwise, an
“ERROR” message will show on the display of your OP500.

Remote Programming Routine

IMPORTANT: The remotes are preprogrammed to the control module. If you need to program the

remotes, follow the instructions below.

Programming the Remote

STEP 1: Activate Programming mode by turning the ignition key on and off (between the Acc & On

positions) five times within 10 seconds. The vehicle’s parking lights will flash once with the successful

completion of this step.
STEP 2: Within a second after cycling the ignition the 5th time, tap the Lock button on the remote for a

half second. The parking lights will flash once to confirm the transmitter has been coded.

Programming Multiple Remotes: After the confirmation flash given
in STEP 2, you can code additional remotes by tapping the Lock
button on the remote(s). The parking lights will flash once confirming
each additional remote. The Key Locker can store up to 4 remotes.

Exiting Programming: Programming is a timed sequence. The
parking lights will flash twice signaling the end of programming mode.

Placement and Use of Components

IMPORTANT: The placement and use of components are critical to the performance of this system.

Antenna and Cable

Firstech antennas are calibrated for horizontal installation at the top of the windshield. It does not have to
be mounted in the top left corner as shown to the left. The cable that connects the antenna to the brain
must be free from any pinches or kinks. Installing the antenna in areas other than the windshield may
adversely affect the effective transmitting distance of the remotes.

FT-TP1(Remote Paging Sensor)

The FT-TP1 has multiple features including: remote paging, 4-digit pin unlock/disarm, and arm/
lock. All features are operated with a simple touch of the sensor.

FT-TP1 functions do not require programming.

NOTE: If you enter the wrong code more than 5 times within 30 minutes the TP1 function will be
disabled for 1 HOUR.

Alarm rearm and lock

To rearm hold your finger on the ‘Red Circle’ for 3 seconds.

Alarm disarm and unlock

To disarm hold your finger over the ‘Red Circle’ for 3 seconds. Once the LEDs start their circular pattern,
enter your 4-digit code by touching the window with the flat part of the tip of any finger over the number
for each digit of your code. (Refer to Step 4 above or training video at www.firstechdata.com) Two
seconds after entering the 4th digit, your system will first re-arm/lock. In two seconds, it will disarm/
unlock.

2 Way LCD remote paging

To page a 2 Way LCD remote, hold your finger over the ‘Red Circle’ twice.

Touch Panel Sensitivity

To change touch sensitivity, open the driver’s door, hold the button on the back of the TP1 until the LEDs
go out. Release button and tap again. The number of solid LEDs represent sensitivity of touch, 1 being
the lowest, 5 the highest.

Common Procedures

Valet Mode

When servicing or loaning your vehicle to others, your Key Locker system should be placed in Valet
Mode. Valet Mode disables all alarm functions.

IMPORTANT: While in Valet mode the Key Locker will still lock and unlock power lock systems.
The system can be put into valet one of two ways:

1. Turn the vehicle’s key to the ignition “on” position and tap the Lock and Trunk buttons
simultaneously for a half second. The parking lights will flash once to confirm the system is in
Valet Mode. Repeat this process to take the system out of Valet Mode. Ignition does not have to

7

be on. Upon holding the same buttons again the parking lights will flash twice to confirm the
system is out of Valet Mode.

2. You can put the system into Valet by holding the foot brake(data input only) and then
turning the ignition key “on” and then “off” five times within 10 seconds. The parking
lights will flash once to confirm the system is in Valet Mode.

Key Locker Wiring Schematic

wire will test (+) 12V at all times - while the key is in the off position, the on position and during
crank.

Pin 2 Black - Ground negative (-) input. This wire must be connected to the vehicle’s ground.
Pin 3 Red/Black – Constant 12 V positive (+) input and (+) charging output.
Pin 4 Black - Ground negative (-) input.
Pin 5 Violet/White - [POC 1] Starter Kill 250mA latched negative (-) output. Note: There are additional

POC setting options for this POC.
