Installation Considerations

Important:
The single most important factor regarding the proper
operation and effectiveness of a vehicle security system is its installation.
This system can be successfully installed with basic hand tools, by care-
fully following these instructions. One area to take special care in is wiring
connections; soldering is most desirable, with crimp-type terminals follow-
ing. "Quick-tap" or "t-tap" connections are acceptable, providing that ex-
treme care is taken to ensure that they are done correctly. The "strip and
twist" method of joining wires is the least desirable; although a satisfactory
connection can be made if done properly, this is considered as the least
reliable method of joining wires. When using any method, it is most impor-
tant that the spliced wires be adequately insulated; not only to prevent
short-circuits, but to also protect the wires' splice from exposure to the
weakening environmental effects of moisture in the atmosphere.
