2-1 ENGINE CHECK ON/OFF: In the default setting the remote start will monitor either the vehicle's tach wire
or voltage depending on the programming of Feature 2-2. If programmed off, the vehicle will crank for the pro-
grammed crank time (Feature 2-5) and will not verify with tach or voltage that the vehicle is running. In the off
setting, if the vehicle fails to start, the ignition can stay on for the entire run duration. Using tach or voltage
check is always recommended if possible.
2-2 TACH WIRE SENSE/VOLTAGE SENSE: If the tachometer signal wire is used, this feature must be left in the
default (tach wire connected) setting. If programmed to the voltage sense setting, the unit will crank the starter
for a preset time that can be programmed in Feature 2-5. Once the starter has been engaged, the system will
check the voltage level to verify the engine is running. The threshold for the voltage level test can be pro-
grammed in Feature 2-6. When using voltage sense mode, connection of the H3/5 WHITE tachometer input is not
necessary.
2-3 RUN TIME 12/24/60 MINUTES: This feature controls how long the engine will run before it "times
out" and shuts down. Programmed to the default setting the engine will run for 12 minutes. If the 24-
minute run time is desired, change this feature to the on-board LED off setting.
2-4 FLASHING PARKING LIGHT OUTPUT: In the default setting, the unit will flash the vehicle's parking lights
while remote started. The constant setting will turn the parking lights on solidly for the entire run duration.
2-5 CRANKING TIME 0.6/0.8/1.0/1.2/1.4/1.6/1.8/2.0/4.0: If feature 2-2 is programmed to the voltage sense
setting, the crank time must be set to the appropriate duration. The default setting is 0.6 seconds. If a differ-
ent crank time is desired, select feature 2.5 and (while pressing the Valet®/Program switch) advance to the next
time by pressing the channel 2 button. The unit will flash the LED to indicate which time is selected. Once the
4.0 second setting is reached the next press of channel 2 will reset the system to the shortest setting.
2-6 VOLTAGE CHECK LEVEL HIGH/LOW: This feature only functions when Feature 2-2 is programmed to voltage
sense. Some vehicles have many accessories, which are turned on when remote started. In these vehicles, the
variation of voltage between the engine off and the vehicle running is very slight and the remote start unit may
"think" the vehicle has not started. This can cause the remote start to shut down after the vehicle has been
started. If this is the case, program this feature to the LOW position.
2-7 SHORT RUN (TURBO TIMER): When the and buttons on the transmitter are pressed simulta-
neously, the vehicle will continue to run for the programmed short-run time. The factory default is 1 minute.
2-8 ACTIVATION PULSE COUNT: This feature allows the number of pulses to activate the remote start feature to
be changed from 1, 2, or 3 pulses. The pulse count programmed to start the vehicle will also be the same required
to shut down the remote start.
