WIRING: 18-PIN Connector Cont. BRAKE RESET: There are 2 Brake reset input wires, (+) White and (-) White/black. The White is (+) for the brake pedal. The White/black is for (-) hand brake or emergency brake on manual transmission vehicles. Option # 26 must be activated for the White/black wire to function.
WIRING: 4-PIN Shock Sensor (22 Gauge wires) SHOCK SENSOR: There are 2 sensor ports (zone 2 and 3) on the alarm module. The sensor supplied with this system does not require any additional wiring. Simply mount the sensor in a suitable location. It can be tie wrapped to a cable harness or mounted to a plastic panel.
WIRING: 2-PIN LED / 2-PIN Program-Valet Button (22 gauge wires) Mount LED in a visible location on the Dash or Console. Connect the small 2-pin plug from the LED to the control module. Note: Connectors are designed so that they will only plug into their appropriate slots. Mount the Valet/Program/Override button in a suitable location.

DOOR LOCK WIRING Negative Trigger (-): Many Imports; Late model Ford & General Motors Negative trigger door lock systems send a Negative (Ground) pulse to existing factory relays to lock and unlock the vehicle doors. Positive Trigger (+): Many General Motors; Chrysler / Dodge / Plymouth Positive trigger door lock systems send a Positive (12V) pulse to existing factory relays to lock and unlock the vehicle doors.

DOOR LOCK WIRING Reverse Polarity: Many Ford/Lincoln/Mercury/Dodge/Chrysler/Plymouth and early 90’s GM Trucks Reverse Polarity systems use no relays, but instead the door lock/unlock motors are controlled directly from the lock and unlock switches in the door. The lock and unlock wires rest at Negative Ground when not in use. When the lock or unlock button is pressed, one of the circuits is “Lifted”...
1-WIRE RESISTOR DOOR LOCKS Single Wire (Dual Voltage): Late model Chrysler/Dodge/Plymouth Vehicles, some 2000-UP GM Cars Dual Voltage systems have lock/unlock switches that send varying levels of Positive voltage OR Negative ground current to the SAME wire for both lock and unlock. When the vehicle’s Body Computer Module (BCM) or door lock module senses different voltages on this wire, the system will either lock or unlock.

ENGINE MONITORING and TACH REFERENCE MODE This system has 4 methods of monitoring the engine running. Option #1 controls how the system monitors the engine running. 1. The Default is Tachless Low Level. When vehicle is remote started, the battery voltage rate will go up because the Alternator starts working.
PROGRAMMABLE OPTIONS You can program multiple options in one session if you start with the lowest option and continue on to higher options without repeating steps #1-3 below. For example, you can follow the programming steps to change an Option by pressing button 1 to 4 on the remote, then you can continue pressing the program button additional times to get to a high number option and change the setting without having to repeat Steps 1-5.

PROGRAMMABLE OPTION DESCRIPTIONS 1. ENGINE MONITORING: This option controls how the system monitors the engine running. You can program for Tachless mode that monitors battery voltage, Tach mode in which the unit uses a Tach signal (RPM) or for Timed Crank as an alternative. There are 4 choices for this option: 1.
Page 28
PROGRAMMABLE OPTIONS Cont. 5. AUTO REARM / ACTICE REARM: The option controls whether the alarm system rearms 30 seconds after disarm. This is handy if the vehicle is accidentally disarmed without your knowledge. There are 4 choices: 1. OFF = Default - No Automatic Rearm in Passive or Active Mode. 2.
Page 29
PROGRAMMABLE OPTIONS Cont. 8. SIREN OUTPUT: This option controls whether the Siren Chirps with Arm / Disarm and Warning. There are 3 choices: 1. Siren Chirps with Arm / Disarm / Warning and Alarm Trigger - Default. 2. Warning Chirps and Alarm Trigger (no arm / disarm chirps). 3.

PROGRAMMABLE OPTIONS Cont. 13. CHANNEL 4 OUTPUT (Brown/white): This option controls the function of the Brown/white wire. 1. Channel 4 = Horn Honk - Default. For Horn Honk output. 2. Channel 4 = 1 Second Pulse with Arm. For activating a window roll up module. 3.
Page 31
PROGRAMMABLE OPTIONS Cont. 18. DIESEL GLOW PLUG DELAY: This option is used to set up Diesel Mode. By using this option, you can control whether the unit monitors the vehicle’s glow plug circuit using the Pink input wire or has a fixed 10 second delay. The Diesel Glow Plug Feature is OFF by default and must be programmed before use.
Page 32
PROGRAMMABLE OPTIONS Cont. 21. REMOTE START ENGINE RUN TIME: You can set the engine run time for 20, 15, 10 or 3 minutes as desired. Some cities have an unattended vehicle Run Time Limit. Check your local laws. The Default = 20 minutes. 22.
Page 33
PROGRAMMABLE OPTION Cont. Manual Transmission Exit Procedure: 1. Option 26-2: With engine running and vehicle in neutral, set parking brake, then press “Idle Down” Icon or remote start on transmitter. The remote starter will turn on and take over operation of the vehicle. 2.
REMOTE PROGRAMMING DIAGRAM Note: All transmitter codes must be learned at time of programming!! The system learns up to 4 different transmitter codes. 1. Turn Ignition Key to the ON position. (Pink wire must be connected.) 2. Press Programming button 4 times, then after a few seconds the unit Chirps Siren, Horn and Flashes the parking lights 4 times.
ALARM TRIGGER DIAGNOSTICS This systems includes disarm diagnostics, through the LED light, that will help in determining what caused the last trigger of the alarm system. This is a valuable tool in determining how the vehicle was tampered with or if there is a false alarm problem in which case you can make the necessary adjustments to correct the problem.
