INSTALLATION
The receiver should be mounted in the interior of the vehicle so that it is not exposed to
moisture. It can be secured using the two mounting holes or with a double sided adhesive
tape, such as Velcro. Power, ground, ignition, and all outputs are connected to the push-and-
lock terminal strip along the front edge of the controller. The antenna plugs into the 3 pin
connector, next to the terminal strip. The antenna should be mounted away from any power
wires or motors higher up in the vehicle.
The connections to the main terminal strip are listed on Page 1. The unit only needs
power and ground connected to operate. The others should be hooked up according to your
application. The IGN terminal can be connect to a key on +12V source to disable outputs 3-6
to prevent accidental function while the key is on. The CMDX should only be connected to a 12
volt battery for power and never solely to a battery charger.
All outputs are grounding, or negative, outputs designed to ONLY turn on external relays.
NEVER DIRECTLY CONNECT A CMDX OUTPUT TO A MOTOR, SOLENOID, LIGHTS, OR
SIMILAR LOAD, INTERNAL CIRCUIT DAMAGE WILL RESULT. Figure 1 shows how to wire
ground switched relays to outputs 1A – 6B shown on the first page. Single and dual relay
packs can be used for the CMDX outputs. Additional relay packs are available separately from
Dakota Digital.
If wiring through the door jambs, consider DAKOTA DIGITAL MAGNUM SHOOTERS
to eliminate having any wires running through your door jams. Refer to the following diagrams
for connection to your particular actuators and power windows.
