Before You Begin Be sure to read the manual thoroughly before beginning the installation to ensure a proper understanding of the MS5500 and its functions. Verify system contents: ❑ Main Unit ❑ Two 3-Button Remote Transmitters ❑ Siren ❑ Logic Sensor II ❑...
Installation Tips Use a Volt / Ohm meter to test all wires. Do not use a test light. Good power and ground connections are essential for proper operation. Route all wires from the engine compartment to the interior of the vehicle through a grommet and use electrical tape and split loom tubing for protection.
Mounting Components Main Unit The main unit should be mounted in the interior of the vehicle. Do not mount the main unit in the engine compartment. For maximum security, avoid mounting the main unit where it will be easily accessible to a thief. If you are mounting the unit under the dash board, be sure to mount the unit as high as possible and in a location where it will not interfere with the operation of the pedals.
EXT2 Extended Range Antenna (optional) The optional EXT2 is a tuned, coaxial antenna, designed to be used with the MS5500 security system to increase transmitter range. When properly installed, the EXT2 will add greater installation flexibility to the system, allowing the antenna to be placed high in the vehicle to achieve maximum range.
Mounting For Shock and Motion Sensitivity Override Switch Mount the Override Switch in a location near the driver where it is easily accessible but not plainly visible. Plug the blue override switch connector into the blue 2-pin socket on the main unit.
Wiring Description 14-Pin Main Harness Pin 1 - BLACK: Ground. Connect to a solid chassis ground. Be sure to use a ring connector of proper size. Scrape away the paint at the grounding point. Pin 2 - RED: Main Power (+12v) input [3A fuse] Connect to constant +12v.

Pin 11 - BLUE: Starter Defeat Normally Closed (-) output Provides a negative output while the alarm is Armed and during alarming to disable the vehicle’s starter circuits. Connect to the provided Starter Kill Relay socket as shown. to alarm VIOLET wire In this configuration, the vehicle’s starter will be disabled only when the system is armed and alarming.

Pin 14 - YELLOW/white: Auxiliary Function 1 negative output Provides negative (-) output. Output will stay on for as long as the Button is pressed. 4-Pin Auxiliary Function Harness Pin 1 - YELLOW/black: Auxiliary Function 2 (-) output (resets with arm and disarm). Provides a negative output to activate a relay.
Jumper Settings Jumper Selections Parking Light Polarity. Selects the polarity (+/-) for the output of the on-board Parking Light relay. Pin 1 + Pin 2 = positive Pin 2 + Pin 3 = negative Dome Light Polarity. Selects the polarity (+/-) for the output of the on-board Illuminated Entry/Exit relay.
Accessing the Jumpers Using a flathead screwdriver, carefully press in on the access tabs on the sides of the case until the hooks release. Take care not to push the tabs in too far or they may break. Once you have made your selections, close the case by aligning the top and button halves of the case, making sure that the tabs are over their mounting holes.
Remote Transmitters Remote Transmitter Layout Button 1 Button 2 Mode Button Each system comes with 2 Remote Transmitters, pre-programmed to operate in the Ungo Standard Mode and will Arm and Disarm the system with chirp confirmation using Button 1. Transmitter Operating Modes The MS5500 can be configured to work with the remote transmitters in one of three ways, Ungo Standard Mode (default), Convenience Mode, or Driver Door Priority Mode.
The Mode Button will change the function of Buttons 1 and 2 each time it is pressed, allowing Buttons 1 and 2 to control the system’s Auxiliary Function Outputs. Note also that the LED on the transmitter changes color each time the Mode Button is pressed to indicate the current function of Buttons 1 and 2.
BUTTON 1 BUTTON 2 MODE BUTTON *Disarming the system will unlock only the driver's door. Button 1 Arms the system. This Button also locks the doors when the system is in Valet Mode. Button 2 Disarms the system and at the same time activates Auxiliary Function 1 (which unlocks the driver’s door).
Adding a New Transmitter into the System 1. Turn on the ignition. 2. Press and hold the Override switch. • The status LED will turn on red. 3. Within 5 seconds: Continue holding the Override switch and Press Transmitter Button 1* For remote arming with chirp confirmation.
Programming System Initialization and Default Reset Following this procedure will set all System Programming Parameters to factory default settings. 1. Turn on ignition. 2. After 4 seconds, press and hold Buttons 1 and 2 together for 5 seconds. The siren will emit one chirp, indicating that the reset signal was received. 3.
2 chirps = Logic Sensor II 3 chirps = Optional sensor 4 chirps = hood/trunk When Audible Tamper Alert report is turned off, the siren will emit a long chirp on disarming to indicate the system was triggered, but the zone indication will be from the status LED only.
the 30 seconds, the output will turn off. When the Latched or Timed outputs are activated: • Arming the system will turn off the Aux. 2 output if it was turned on while the system was disarmed. • Disarming the system will turn off the Aux. 2 output if it was turned on while the system was armed.
Logic Sensor II Because of its advanced design, the Logic Sensor II can be set for Shock and Motion detection or Shock detection only. Sensitivity jumper is set determines if motion is detected. See Mounting Components and Jumper Selections. Adjustment The shock sensitivity of the Logic Sensor II is set using the Remote Transmitter.
Remote Logic Sensor II Bypass In case of extreme weather conditions such as high winds, the Logic Sensor II can be temporarily bypassed from the Remote Transmitter while the system is armed to prevent the system from false alarming. To Bypass the Logic Sensor II: 1.
