OPERATION AND FEATURES
Automatic headlight feature
The automatic headlight feature uses a signal from the supplied light sensor to turn the headlights on
automatically when it becomes dark. The sensitivity of this sensor can be adjusted with the pot on the PAC-1300 module.
After the key is turned off, this feature will keep the headlights on for the delay set by the selection switches. If the wiring
diagram is followed, placing your headlight switch to the OFF position will engage the auto function. Turning the headlight
switch to park or headlight will allow the park or headlights to be manually turned on, overriding the PAC-1300 module.
Dome light feature
The dome light feature will quickly fade the dome light on whenever a door is opened or the key is turned off. The
dome light is kept on after the door is closed for the delay time selected by the switches. After this delay, the dome will
slowly fade out. If the doors are left open for an extended period of time, the dome light will automatically shut off to
reduce battery drain.
Retained accessory power
The retained accessory power feature allows the accessories to be operated for up to 20 minutes after the key is
turned off. These accessories may include the radio, power windows or any other accessory placed under the module's
control. If a door is opened before the 20 minutes, the power to the accessories is removed.
Battery monitoring
This module also has internal low battery voltage monitoring. If the battery voltage should drop too low during
retained accessory operation, power is removed from the accessories and the headlights to reduce the battery drain.
Override switch
An override switch is provided to allow the dome light or automatic headlight feature to manually be disabled. If
the button is pressed when the dome light is on, the dome light will shut off and stay off until either the button is pressed
again or the key has been turned to the on position resetting the dome override condition. If the button is pressed when
the automatic headlights are on, the auto headlight feature is disabled until another button press, or the key is cycled off to
on.
Remote door lock trigger input
A positive trigger input is provided to turn the dome light on with an input from remote door unlock module. When
this input is given a +12V pulse, the dome light is turned on for the set dome delay. If no other action occurs, the dome will
fade out after the delay.
INSTALLATION
The PAC-1300 has the option of shutting off the accessories with the opening of any door, or only with the
opening of the driver's door. This option is selected during installation by the way the module is wired into the vehicle.
For the driver's door only option:
Wire ONLY the driver's door switch to the driver's door terminal on the controller. Wire the other switches to the
passenger door terminal. Wire the dome light to the dome terminal.
To allow any door to shut off the accessories:
Wire all door switches to the driver's door terminal. Leave the passenger door terminal empty. Wire the dome light
to the dome terminal.
INSTALLATION NOTES:
Accessories powered by the PAC-1300 relay MUST be removed from their original power connection
before being connected to the relay. The PAC-1300 will not function properly if this is not done and damage
may occur to the device or the vehicle's electrical system.
The wire between the dome light and the door switches must be cut for the dome light feature to function properly.
The dome light wire should only be connected to the PAC-1300 unit.
