REMOTE CONTROL AUTO SECURITY SYSTEM

Installation Manual
PRE-INSTALLATION NOTES:
AUTO LOCK / UNLOCK: DIP SWITCH #1
The system is shipped with this feature activated.
Any time the ignition key is turned to the off position, the doors will automatically unlock. Any time the ignition key is turned
to the on position, the doors will automatically lock.
To disable the auto lock / unlock feature, move dip switch number 1 to the "off" position.
PASSIVE / ACTIVE DOOR LOCK SELECTION: DIP SWITCH #2
This feature will only affect the operation of the system if the passive arming feature is selected.
When active door lock is selected, the doors will only lock when the transmitter button is pressed. When the alarm is allowed to
arm passively, at the end of the 30 second arming cycle, the doors will not automatically lock. The system is shipped in the active
door lock mode, therefore, no modifications are required for this feature.
When passive door lock is selected, when the alarm is allowed to arm passively, at the end of the 30 second arming cycle, the doors
will automatically lock. To program this feature, move dip switch number 2 to the on position.
PASSIVE / ACTIVE ARMING SELECTION: DIP SWITCH #3
This alarm can be programmed to operate as either a "PASSIVE" or "ACTIVE" arming security system.
As a "Passive" alarm, the system will automatically arm itself approximately 30 seconds after the ignition key is turned off, one
door is opened, then all vehicle doors are closed, (arming is suspended until the last door is closed). This feature protects the vehicle
in the event you forget to arm the system using the keychain transmitter. When the optional door lock interface is installed, the
doors will operate according to the position of dip switch number 2.
This system is shipped in the passive mode, therefore no modifications are required to make the system operate as a "Passive"
alarm.
As an "Active" alarm, the system can only be armed using the keychain transmitter. There will be no backup automatic arming.
To make the system operate as an "Active" alarm, move dip switch number 3 to the off position.
VOLTAGE SENSE / HARDWIRE SELECTION: DIP SWITCH #4
This alarm can be wired to operate as a Voltage Sensing or a Hardwire system.
As a voltage sensing system, the alarm will trigger any time an entry point that illuminates a courtesy light is opened. The system
is shipped in the voltage sensing mode, therefore, no modifications are required to make this system a voltage sensing alarm.
As a hardwire system, the alarm will trigger any time a door, hood, trunk, etc. is opened, by wiring directly to the switches. This means
that if the courtesy light is burned out, or the courtesy light fuse is blown, the alarm will continue to protect all points of entry. To
make this system operate as a hardwire alarm, move dip switch number 4 to the off position.
NOTE: When "Passive Arming" and "Voltage Sensing" are selected, you must hardwire the driver's door pin switch or passive
arming will never be initiated.
CHANNEL 2 OUTPUT:
This system provides an additional hardwire remote output to control an assortment of optional upgrades.
This output is an independent channel from the transmitter, and is controlled by button #2 or #3 on the transmitter, depending
upon programming (see transmitter programming guide). It is a delayed ground pulse (300 mA maximum), and can be used to
control:
Optional trunk release relay AS-9256 Optional window roll up AS-9153 Optional remote starter AS-9151N
