Dakota Digital REM-4D Manual

Remote control door latch opener system

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the REM-4D 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-4D Remote Control Door Latch Opener system comes complete with

receiver, two key chain transmitters, wiring harness, emergency release switch, and

three door opener motors. It is installed to remotely release the driver's and

passenger's door independently along with a third channel to release a trunk, rear door,

or whatever. 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

reentry to the vehicle even though the remote control system is disabled.

While installation of the REM-4D 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.

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-4D 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 two or three

Page 2 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 to protect the wires, or by using the optional DAKOTA DIGITAL, INC. MAGNUM SHOOTERS. MAGNUM SHOOTERS will eliminate the wires running through the door jambs entirely for the cleanest appearance possible.
Page 4 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. To release the trunk motor, press both buttons at the same time.
