IDENTIFYING RESISTOR VALUES Use the following information as a guide in properly identifying the value of resistors. BAND 1 1st Digit Color Bands Black Multiplier Brown Tolerance Orange Yellow Green Blue Violet Gray White IDENTIFYING CAPACITOR VALUES Capacitors will be identified by their capacitance value in pF (picofarads), nF (nanofarads), or µF (microfarads). Most capacitors will have their actual value printed on them.
When we place a voltage to the gate, a current will flow between the anode and cathode turning ON the alarm buzzer. If we remove the voltage on the gate, the current will continue to flow in the SCR. ACTIVATING SWITCHES There are two types of activating switches, the normally open (N.O.) contacts and normally closed (N.C.) contacts.

Reconnect the wires to S2, the buzzer should still be on. Turn off S1 to reset the alarm. 5. If your K-23 does not operate properly, follow the troubleshooting procedure below. 2. Be sure that all components have been mounted in their correct places.
AUTO ALARM You will not mount parts A1, B1 or S1. When someone opens a door or tries to remove the radio, the alarm is activated and the car horn will sound (see schematic diagram below). Connect to your car as follows. See diagram below. Connect P4 to the wire running from the door switch to the dome light.
