Wiring The System - Audiovox Prestige APS-15CL Installation Manual

WIRING THE SYSTEM:

RED FUSED WIRE - (VOLTAGE SENSING): + 12 VDC CONSTANT BATTERY SOURCE
This wire controls the sensitivity of the voltage sensing circuit, which detects the turning on of an interior light when a door
is opened. It will also detect the switching on of parking or headlamps, and in many cases will trigger the alarm when a
thermostatically controlled electronic radiator cooling fan switches on.
It is recommended that when installing this system into vehicles with electronic "after fans", the procedure for RED FUSED
WIRE - (HARDWIRE) should be followed.
In voltage sensing applications, the closer to the battery that the red fused wire is connected, the less sensitive the voltage
sense circuitry will be. Moving this connection point to the fuse panel will increase the sensitivity, and connecting to the
courtesy lamp fuse in the vehicle will provide maximum sensitivity of the voltage sense circuit.
RED FUSED WIRE - (HARDWIRE): + 12 VDC CONSTANT BATTERY SOURCE
When hardwiring the control module to pin switches at all entry points, the voltage sense circuit must be disabled. Cut
the green wire loop from the alarm control module. Connect the red fused wire to a + 12 VDC constant battery source.
YELLOW WIRE: + 12 VDC IGNITION SOURCE
Connect this wire to a source that is hot when the key is in the on, accessory, and crank positions, and off when the key
is in the off position.
BLACK WIRE: CHASSIS GROUND
Connect this wire to a solid, metal part of the vehicle's chassis.
Do not confuse this wire with the thin black antenna wire that exits the control module independently.
WHITE WIRE: + 12 VDC PULSED PARKING LIGHT OUTPUT ( 15 A MAX )
This wire is provided to flash the vehicle's parking lights.
Connect the white wire to the positive side of one of the vehicle's parking lights.
DARK GREEN WIRE: (-) INSTANT TRIGGER
This is an instant on ground trigger wire. It must be connected to the previously installed hood and trunk pin switches.
PURPLE WIRE: + DOOR TRIGGER
If the vehicle's door courtesy light switches have a + 12 volt output when the door is opened ( most Fords and some Imports
), you must connect this wire to the positive output from one of the door switches. In most cases, the purple wire will only
need to be connected to one door switch, no matter how many doors the vehicle has.
WARNING: Do not use the purple wire if the vehicle has ground output type door switches. (see BROWN WIRE)
BROWN WIRE: - DOOR TRIGGER
If the vehicle's door courtesy light switches have a -ground output when the door is opened ( GM and most Imports ) you
must connect this wire to the negative output from one of the door switches. In most cases, the brown wire will only need
to be connected to one door switch, no matter how many doors the vehicle has.
WARNING: Do not use the brown wire if the vehicle has + 12 Volt output type door switches. (see PURPLE WIRE)
WHITE w/ BLACK TRACE WIRE: POSITIVE OUTPUT TO SIREN
Route this wire through a rubber grommet in the firewall, and to the siren location.
Connect the white/black wire to the positive wire of the siren. Secure the black ground wire of the siren to chassis ground.
ORANGE WIRE: GROUND OUTPUT WHEN ARMED
This wire is provided to control the optional (not included) starter cut relay. Connect the orange wire to terminal 86 of the
AS-9256 relay (or equivalent 30A automotive relay), and wire the remaining relay contacts as shown in the wiring diagram.
IMPORTANT: Audiovox does not recommend using this relay to interrupt the ignition wire. Only connect this relay
to the low current starter solenoid feed wire, as indicated on the wiring diagram of the AS-9256.
