MOUNTING THE
SYSTEM
Select a location for your alarm sys-
tem in the engine compartment. For
the best results, the location should
meet the following conditions.
• All wires should reach their con-
nections without going near mov-
ing or hot engine parts.
Note: If necessary, you can
extend the wires using hook-up
wire and butt connectors. Use at
least 18-gauge wire and an insu-
lated wire connector to extend a
wire.
• The mounting location should be
solid and have no mechanisms or
moving parts behind it.
• For the best remote range, the
mounting location should allow
the system's yellow antenna wire
to hang straight down. Do not cut
or extend the wire — its length is
optimized for best operation.
• For the loudest siren, the siren
horn should point down toward
the pavement.
• The
alarm
should
straight up, as moisture could col-
lect in the siren horn and damage
the system.
• To prevent water damage, the
system should not be mounted in
a wheel well, directly behind the
radiator grill, or close to the
ground.
Once you select a location, follow
these steps to mount the system.
1. Hold the system against the
selected location and mark the
locations of the three mounting
holes.
2. Drill
locations, taking care not to drill
into anything behind the mount-
ing surface.
3. Secure the system to the surface
using the supplied screws.
Note: For the best shock-sensor
operation, use all three screws.
