DOOR LATCH OPENER SYSTEM

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the REM-3D Remote Control Door Latch Opener

System from Dakota Digital, Inc. This, along with many other products that Dakota

Digital, Inc. has to offer, represents the latest in electronics technology for the street rod,

classic car and truck, and any custom vehicle.

The REM-3D Remote Control Door Latch Opener system comes complete with

receiver module, two key chain transmitters, a sealed push-button switch, wiring

harness, and two door opener motors. It is installed to remotely release the driver's and

passenger's door independently. A safety feature disables the system when the ignition

is on to avoid accidental door opening during vehicle operation. Two internal door

release buttons can be wired into the system for removal of inside door handles as well.

An emergency release switch can be concealed on the underside of the vehicle should

the door ever be closed with the motor running and you on the outside. Pressing this

button will allow vehicle reentry even though the remote control system is disabled.

INSTALLATION

While installation of the REM-3D is very straightforward, paying a little attention

here and planning out how the system will fit into your specific vehicle will save some

time in the long run. First, determine the best mounting method for the door motors

within the doors. The pull (or push) on the original door latch or newer bear claw latch

should be as straight as possible. Securely mount the motor and route the connecting

rod as pertains to your specific situation. Use #6 self tapping screws for securing the

motor to your door panel. A steel rod or light cable may be used to attach the motor

arm to your latch.

The receiver should be mounted under the dash up on the fire wall for best

access to wiring. The kick panel is also another good location for the receiver.

Connect the REM-3D system as is shown in the wiring diagram. While the wiring

diagram is self explanatory, there are several key areas to pay particular attention to.

First, the 12 volt source should be able to supply up to 10 amps (needed if both motors

are activated simultaneously) and should not be connected to a feed that is shared with

a high current device such as a power window, power seat, or fan. Connecting to a

source shared by a device such as this may cause improper operation due to the surge

current and subsequent voltage drop caused by the high current devices.

The only wires that need to be passed to the doors are the two wires running to

each door motor. This should be done using a flexible rubber tube or rubber grommet

Page 3 OPERATION Each key chain transmitter contains two push buttons. Each button will activate its own independent channel when pressed. To release the driver's door, press the button labeled I. For the passenger door, press the button labeled II. The door release motors will stay activated for as long the key chain transmitter button is pressed.
