Installation Tips

1.
Use a Volt / Ohm meter to test all wires. Do not use a test light.
2.
Good power and ground connections are essential for proper operation. Ground the alarm as close to the alarm main unit
as possible.
3.
Route all wires from the engine compartment to the interior of the vehicle through a grommet and use electrical tape and/or
split loom tubing for protection.
4.
When adding optional accessories such as door locks, window modules, etc., be sure to fuse each additional accessory
power lead separately from the main power source. This will insure that the security system power is retained in the event
that an accessory malfunctions.
5.
Avoid extending the system's wires, the supplied wiring harnesses provide sufficient length to connect to the required
vehicle circuits. If a wire must be extended, be sure to use the appropriate gauge wire in order to avoid a drop in current.
Always use wire that is at least the same gauge as the wire you are extending.
6.
Never bypass the fuses included in the G1100 wiring harness. They are necessary safety items designed to protect both
the system and the vehicle.
7.
Be sure to perform a full function test of all of the systems components to verify proper operation. Also, be sure to check
all of the vehicle's operating systems before and after the installation.
8.
For maximum security, disguise all system wires with black electrical tape and/or split loom tubing to prevent a thief from
being able to identify the system wiring.
