IMPORTANT! Never use this wire to drive anything but a relay or a low-current input! The transis- torized output can only supply 200 mA of current. Connecting directly to a solenoid, motor, or other high-current device will cause it to fail. H1/2 RED (+)12V constant power input Before connecting this wire, remove the supplied fuse.

H1/4 YELLOW PRIMARY HARNESS TO IGNITION SYSTEM H1/5 BLACK (-) chassis ground connection Remove any paint and connect this wire to bare metal, preferably with a factory bolt rather than a screw. (Screws tend to strip or loosen with time.) We recommend grounding all components, including the siren, to the same point. H1/6 VIOLET (+) door trigger input, zone 3 This wire is used in vehicles that have a positive (+) switched domelight circuit.
Page 7
H1/8 GREEN (-) door trigger input, zone 3 Most vehicles use negative door trigger circuits. Connect the green wire to a wire which shows ground when any door is opened. In vehicles with factory delays on the domelight circuit, there is usually a wire that is unaffected by the delay circuitry.

H1/11 WHITE (+/-) selectable light flash As shipped, this wire should be connected to the (+) parking light wire. If the light flash polarity jumper inside the control module is moved to the opposite position (see Internal Programming Jumper section of this guide), this wire supplies a (-) 200 mA output.
There are eight common types of door lock circuits (some vehicles use more unusual systems): ■ Type A: Three-wire (+) pulse controlling factory lock relays. Most GM, some Ford and Chrysler, 1995 Saturn, some new VW, newer BMW. ■ Type B: Three-wire (-) pulse controlling factory lock relays. Most Asian vehicles, early Saturn, some BMW and Porsche.
type A: positive-triggered, relay-driven system The system can control Type A door locks directly, with no additional parts. The switch will have three wires on it, and one will test (+)12V constantly. The others will alternately pulse (+)12V when the switch is pressed to the lock or unlock position.
type B: negative-triggered, relay-driven system This system is common in many Toyota, Nissan, Honda, and Saturn models, as well as Fords with the keyless- entry system (some other Fords also use Type B). The switch will have three wires on it, and one wire will test ground all the time. One wire will pulse (-) when the switch locks the doors, and the other wire will pulse (-) when the switch unlocks the doors.
type D: adding one or more after-market actuators Vehicles without factory power door locks require the installation of one actuator per door. This requires mount- ing the door lock actuator inside the door. Other vehicles may only require one actuator installed in the driver's door if all door locks are operated when the driver's lock is used.
type E: electrically-activated vacuum This system is found in some older Mercedes-Benz and Audi. The door locks are controlled by an electrically acti- vated vacuum pump. The control wire will show (+)12V when doors are unlocked and (-) ground when locked. NOTE: The system must be programmed for 3.5-second door lock pulses, and the violet jumper between the #87 lock terminal and the #87 unlock terminal must be cut.
type F: one-wire system (cut to lock, ground to unlock) This type of door lock system usually requires a negative pulse to unlock, and cutting the wire to lock the door. (With some vehicles, these are reversed.) It is found in some older Nissan Sentras, Nissan 240SX, and Nissan 300ZX.
type G: positive (+) multiplex This system is most commonly found in Ford, Mazda, Chrysler and GM vehicles. The door lock switch or door key cylinder may contain either one or two resistors. SINGLE-RESISTOR TYPE: If one resistor is used in the door lock switch/key cylinder, the wire will pulse (+)12V in one direction and less than (+)12V when operated in the opposite direction.

type H: negative (-) multiplex The system is most commonly found in Ford, Mazda, Chrysler and GM vehicles. The door lock switch or door key cylinder may contain either one or two resistors. SINGLE-RESISTOR TYPE: If one resistor is used in the door lock switch/key cylinder, the wire will pulse ground in one direction and resistance to ground when operated in the opposite direction.

A progressive unlock system unlocks the driver's door when the unlock (disarm) button is pressed and unlocks the passenger doors if the unlock (disarm) button is pressed again within 15 seconds after unlocking the driver's door.

plug-in LED and valet/program switch The LED and the Valet/Program switch both plug into the control module. The LED system status indicator plugs into the white two-pin port, while the Valet/Program switch should be plugged into the blue two-pin port. The LED and Valet/Program switch each fit into -inch holes.
internal programming jumper NOTE: JUMPER IS INSIDE THE CASE light flash jumper This jumper is used to determine the light flash output. In the (+) position, the on-board relay is enabled and the unit will output (+)12V on the H1/11 WHITE wire. In the (-) position, the on-board relay is disabled. The H1/11 WHITE wire will supply a (-) 200 mA output suitable for driving factory parking light relays.
on-board dual stage impact sensor There is a dual-stage impact sensor inside the control unit. Adjustments are made via the rotary control as indi- cated above. Since the impact sensor does not work well when mounted firmly to metal, we recommend against screwing down the control module.
transmitter/receiver learn routine The system comes with two transmitters that have been taught to the receiver. Use the following learn routine to add transmitters to the system or to change button assignments if desired. The Valet/Program switch, plugged into the blue port, is used for programming. There is a basic sequence to remember whenever programming this unit: Door, Key, Choose, Transmit and Release.
Transmit. While HOLDING the Valet/Program switch, press the transmitter button that you wish to assign to that channel. The unit will chirp indicating successful programming. Release. Once the code is learned, the Valet/Program switch can be released. You can advance from one channel to another by releasing the Valet/Program switch and tapping it to advance channels and then HOLDING it.
LCD 2-way transmitter additional controls The LCD 2-way transmitter has the following additional controls: operates No function operates Remote extended functions/LCD backlight operates Battery Saver Mode operate Beep/Vibrate Notification operate Time/Alarm Display operates Parking Timer 2008 Directed Electronics, Vista CA - all rights reserved...
system features learn routine Many of the features of this unit are programmable. They can be changed whenever necessary through this learn routine. The Valet/Program switch, plugged into the blue port, is used together with a programmed transmitter to change the settings. To enter the feature learn routine: Open a door.
To exit the Code Learning, do one of the following: ■ The doors are closed. ■ Turn the ignition on. ■ No activity for longer than 15 seconds. ■ Press the Valet/Program switch too many times. features menu FEATURE DEFAULT LED ON SETTINGS LED OFF SETTINGS NUMBER (PRESS LOCK ICON TRANSMITTER BUTTON) (PRESS UNLOCK ICON TRANSMITTER BUTTON)

3 IGNITION-CONTROLLED DOOR LOCK/UNLOCK ON/OFF: When turned on, the doors will lock three seconds after the ignition is turned on and unlock when the ignition is turned off. If the ignition key is turned on while the vehicle door(s) are open, the door(s) will not lock. 4 ACTIVE/PASSIVE LOCKING: If passive arming is selected in Feature 1, then the system can be programmed to either lock the doors when passive arming occurs, or only lock the doors when the system is armed with the transmitter.
10 Comfort closure feature: This feature is designed to integrate with vehicles that can close the power windows and sunroof by holding the key in the driver door lock position, and will operate on both single input systems and two pulses input dead bolt systems. If programmed on the door lock output will activate the Comfort Close output for 20 seconds.
table of zones When using the Diagnostic functions, use the Table of Zones to see which input has triggered the system. It is also helpful in deciding which input to use when connecting optional sensors and switches. ZONE NO. TRIGGER TYPE INPUT DESCRIPTION Multiplex H1/7 BLUE wire.

■ Door input does not respond with the progressive trigger, but with immediate full alarm: Does the LED indicate that the trigger was caused by the impact sensor? (See Table of Zones section of this guide.) The impact sensor, if set to extreme sensitivity, may be detecting the door unlatching before the door switch sends its signal.
