  • Page 3: Deciding On Component Location

    Step One: Deciding on Component Locations Siren Some things to remember when mounting the siren: • Keep it away from heat sources. Radiators, exhaust manifolds, turbochargers, and heat shields are all things to avoid. • Mount it where a thief cannot easily disconnect it, whether the hood is open or shut. Both the siren and its wires should be difficult to find.
  • Page 4 ® ® Stinger Doubleguard Shock Sensor ® Never put the Stinger in the engine compartment! Find a spot close to the control module so that the wires do not need to be extended. Keep it away from the heater core (or any other heat sources) and any obvious leaks. How the Stinger is mounted is the most important factor in its performance.
  • Page 5: Finding The Wires You Need

    Optional Starter Kill Relay If Starter Kill Relay or its connections are immediately visible upon removal of the underdash panel, they can easily be bypassed. Always make the relay and its connections difficult to discern from the factory wiring! Exposed yellow butt connectors do not look like factory parts, and will not fool anyone! For this reason, routing the starter kill wires away from the steering column is recommended.
  • Page 6 Finding a (+) Parking Iight Wire The (+) parking light wire is often found near the switch. Many cars have the switch built into the turn signal lever, and in these cars the parking light wire can be found in the steering column. The same wire is often available in the kick panel or running board.
  • Page 7: Making Your Wire Connections

    How to find the (+)12V starter wire with your multimeter: 1. Set to DCV or DC voltage (12V or 20V is fine). 2. Attach the (-) probe of the meter to chassis ground. 3. Probe the wire you suspect of being the starter wire. The steering column is an excellent place to find this wire.

    WIRE CONNECTION GUIDE H1/1 ORANGE (-) ground-when-armed output: This wire supplies a (-) 500 mA ground as long as the system is armed. This output ceases as soon as the system is disarmed. The orange wire is pre-wired to control the 8618 starter kill relay.
  • Page 10 H1/4 BLACK/WHITE (-) 200 mA domelight-supervision output: Connect this wire to the optional domelight supervision relay as shown below: IMPORTANT: This output is only intended to drive a relay. It cannot be connected directly to the domelight circuit, as the output cannot support the current draw of one or more light bulbs. (-) CHASSIS GROUND IF H1/4 BLACK/WHITE DOORS ARE (-) SWITCHED,...

    H1/11 RED (+)12V constant power input: Before connecting this wire, remove the supplied fuse. Connect to the battery positive terminal or the constant 12V supply to the ignition switch as described on Page 5. NOTE: Always use a fuse within 12 inches of the point you obtain (+)12V. Do not use the 10A fuse in the harness for this purpose.
  • Page 12: Bypassing Sensor Inputs

    BYPASSING SENSOR INPUTS There are times when you need to temporarily bypass all sensor inputs to the unit, such as when remote starting the vehicle. Anytime an auxiliary channel output is used, all inputs are bypassed for 5 seconds. During the 5 second bypass period, ground can be supplied to the H1/6 BLUE wire without triggering the unit.
  • Page 13 Many domestically-made GM vehicles use Type A locks. However, many more GM vehicles are now Type C than in previous years. The full-size pickups (1989-up), many of the S10 Blazers, the Corvette, '95 Cavalier/Sunfire 1993 - and newer, Camaro/Firebird all use Type C door locks, and cannot be controlled without a 451M! Almost all domestically-built Fords are Type C.
  • Page 14 Type C - Reversing Polarity Interfacing with a reversing polarity system requires either two relays or one 451M (not included). It is critical to identify the proper wires and locate the master switch to interface properly. Locate wires that show voltage on lock and unlock.
  • Page 15 Type E - Mercedes-Benz and Audi (1985 & Newer) Door locks are controlled by an electrically activated vacuum pump. Some Mercedes and Audis use a Type D system. Test by locking doors from the passenger key cylinder. If all the doors lock, the vehicle's door lock system can be controlled with just two relays (optional).
  • Page 16: Transmitter/Receiver Learn Routine

    TRANSMITTER/RECEIVER LEARN ROUTINE™ In order to enter Learn Routine™ the Valet ® /Program button must be plugged into the blue port. There is a basic sequence to remember whenever programming this unit: Door, Key, Choose, Transmit and Release. Door Open a door. Either the H1/5 GREEN or the H1/7 VIOLET door trigger wire must be connected for the control unit to “see”...
  • Page 17: Two-Vehicle Operation With Single Transmitter

    TWO-VEHICLE OPERATION WITH SINGLE TRANSMITTER You can get two-vehicle operation with the transmitters that come with the system. However, you cannot use all the auxiliary channels of the system (or all the auxiliary channels of the other system), unless using a 485T 4-button transmitter.
  • Page 18: Operating-Settings Learn Routine

    OPERATING-SETTINGS LEARN ROUTINE™ Many of the operating settings of this unit are programmable. They can be changed whenever necessary through a computer-based Learn Routine™. The Valet ® /program push-button switch, plugged into the blue port is used together with a programmed transmitter to change the settings. To program settings remember: Door, Key, Choose, Transmit and Release.
  • Page 19 Once the button has been pressed and released the correct number of times press it once more and hold it. After a second, the siren will chirp to indicate what step you have accessed. For example, three chirps would indicate access to the ignition controlled door lock feature.
  • Page 20: Feature Descriptions

    FEATURE DESCRIPTIONS 1 – ACTIVE/PASSIVE ARMING: When active arming is selected, the system will only arm when the transmitter is used. When set to passive, the system will arm automatically 30 seconds after the last door is closed. Passive arming is indicated by the rapid flashing of the LED when the last protected entry point is closed.
  • Page 21: Nuisance Prevention ® Circuitry

    ® NUISANCE PREVENTION CIRCUITRY ™ requires that you change the way you test the system as NPC ™ will bypass an input zone for 60 minutes. If the system “sees” the same zone trigger three times AND the triggers are spaced less than an hour apart, The system will bypass that input zone for 60 minutes.
  • Page 22: Table Of Zones

    TABLE OF ZONES When using the diagnostic functions, use the Table of Zones to see what input has triggered the system. It is also helpful in deciding what input to use when connecting optional sensors and switches. Zone # Trigger Type Input Description Instant H1/6 BLUE wire.
  • Page 23: Troubleshooting

    TROUBLESHOOTING Starter kill doesn't work: Is the correct starter wire being interrupted? If the car starts when the starter kill relay is completely disconnected, the wrong starter wire has been cut and interrupted. Are the GREEN and BLACK wires properly oriented? The GREEN goes toward the switch, and the BLACK towards the starter motor.
