Shock Sensor - Prestige APS-997C Installation Manual

THE PUSH-BUTTON/LED/RECEIVER/ANTENNA ASSEMBLY:
The Superheterodyne Receiver Antenna Assembly provided with this unit allows routing from below the
dash board for maximum operating range. Choose a location above the belt line (dashboard) of the vehicle
for best reception. Special considerations must be made for windshield glass as some newer vehicles
utilize a metallic shielded window glass that will inhibit or restrict RF reception. In these vehicles, route
the antenna toward a rear window location for best reception. Secure the antenna with double stick tape
provided. After securing the antenna with tape, we advise also securing a section of the antenna cable to
a fixed support. This will prevent the antenna from dropping down in case the double stick tape is exposed
to extreme heat which may loosen it's gummed surface. Route the 6 pin connector toward the control
module using caution not to pinch the cable as this will cause poor or no RF reception to the control
module.

SHOCK SENSOR:

Select a centrally located, solid mounting surface for the shock sensor that will allow consistent operation
from all areas of the vehicle. The selected location must be within 18" of the control module to allow
routing and connecting of the 4 pin harness. Secure the shock sensor to the chosen location using two #8
self tapping sheet metal screws. The sensor can also be secured to an existing dash brace using cable
tie straps. Whichever mounting method is used be sure to allow access to the sensitivity adjustment
potentiometer for use later in the installation.
STARTER INHIBIT RELAY:
Select a mounting location within 12" of the ignition switch's low current start solenoid wire. Secure the
relay to an existing harness in the chosen location using a cable tie around the relay's wiring harness.
CAUTION! Do not wire tie the metal bracket to an existing wiring harness as vibration may cause
chaffing and shorting damaging the factory wiring. If an existing harness is not available then
secure the relay's metal mounting tab to an under dash metal brace with a #8 self tapping
sheet metal screw. Wire the relay as per the diagram found later in this manual.
This unit is to be used in vehicles with AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS only! Although this combination
Alarm/Remote Start unit is a sophisticated system with many advanced features, IT MUST NOT be
installed into a vehicle with a manually operated transmission. Doing so may result in serious personal
injury and property damage.
DO NOT PLUG THE SIX PIN MAIN POWER HARNESS OR THE MULTI PIN INPUT / OUTPUT HARNESS
INTO THE CONTROL MODULE UNTIL ALL CONNECTIONS TO THE VEHICLE HAVE BEEN MADE.
AFTER SELECTING YOUR TARGET WIRES AS DEFINED BELOW, DISCONNECT THE NEGATIVE
BATTERY CABLE FROM THE VEHICLE BATTERY PRIOR TO MAKING ANY CONNECTIONS.
NOTE: Do not remove the fuse holders from this wire harness. Fuses must be used and
located as close as possible to the power source for adequate protection of the vehicle.
