COMMANDER SERIES REMOTE CONTROL ENTRY SYSTEM
INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the CMD-10k Commander from Dakota Digital. This, along
with many other products that Dakota Digital has to offer, represents the latest in electronics
technology for the street rod, classic car, sport truck, or custom vehicle.
The CMD-10k comes complete with receiver/controller, two key chain transmitters, one
sealed emergency release switch, and three dual relay packs. The unit can be installed and
configured to remotely release the driver's and passenger's door latches, provide up and down
control of both the driver and passenger side window, as well as release the trunk latch or operate
a trunk lift up and down. In addition to this, a pair of auxiliary outputs are provided for external
relays. These auxiliary relays can be set up as momentarily on or as latch-on, latch-off. A "flash"
output is available that is activated every time one of the latch outputs are activated. This can be
used to disable an aftermarket alarm system or connected to a relay to flash the parking lights.
The system incorporates a self-resetting circuit protection device on the latch release
outputs to protect against short circuits. A safety feature partially disables the system when the
ignition is on to avoid the accidental opening of a door during vehicle operation. With the ignition
on, the only functions that are allowed to work are the control of the power windows. An
emergency release switch can be concealed on the underside of the vehicle to roll the driver's
window down should the door ever be closed with the transmitter on the inside and you on the
outside.
ADDITIONAL TRANSMITTERS
The transmitters supplied with your remote system have a unique serial number coded into
each one for security. Each unit can "learn" up to 7 transmitters. Lost or stolen transmitters are
easily erased by simply reprogramming the remaining transmitters into the system again.
Transmitters from other manufacturers, such as car alarm systems, will not work with the CMD-
10k.
RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE STATEMENT
This device complies with part 15 of FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following
two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must
accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
