CHANNEL 2 OUTPUT:
This system provides an additional hardwire remote output to control an assortment of optional upgrades.
This output is an independent channel from the transmitter and is controlled by the Trunk/Key button. It is a
delayed ground pulse (300 mA maximum) and can be used to control:
• Optional trunk release when connected with a relay
• Optional remote starter AS-9076
INSTALLATION OF MAJOR COMPONENTS:
CONTROL MODULE:
Select a mounting location inside the passenger compartment (up behind the dash) and secure using two
screws provided.
The control module can also be secured in place using cable ties.
Do not mount the control module in the engine compartment, as it is not waterproof. You should also avoid
mounting the unit directly onto factory installed electronic components. These components may cause RF
interference, which can result in poor transmitter range or intermittent operation.
SIREN:
Select a mounting location in the engine compartment that is well protected from access below the vehicle. Avoid
areas near high heat components or moving parts within the engine compartment. To prevent water retention,
the flared, or opened end, of the siren must be pointed downward when mounted. Mount the siren to the selected
location using the screws and bracket provided.
HOOD OR TRUNK PIN SWITCH: (Optional)
A pin switch is for use in protecting the hood or trunk (or hatchback) of the vehicle.
The switch must always be mounted to a grounded, metal surface of the vehicle. It is important to select a
location where water cannot flow or collect and to avoid all drip "gutters" on hood and trunk fender walls. Choose
locations that are protected by rubber gaskets when the hood or trunk lid is closed.
The pin switch can be mounted using a bracket when required or directly mounted by drilling a 9/32" diameter
mounting hole.
Keep in mind that when properly mounted, the plunger of the pin switch should depress at least 1/4" when the
hood or trunk lid is closed.
PUSHBUTTON LED COMBINATION SWITCH:
Select a mounting location known and accessible to the operator of the vehicle. A dashboard plug or front
dashboard panel is desirable because the pushbutton LED assembly needs the LED to be visible from the
outside of the vehicle. It will be used for valet modes, programming features, programming transmitters, and
for overriding the system when the transmitter is not functioning. Inspect behind the chosen location to insure
that adequate clearance is allowed for the body of the switch, and also that the drill will not penetrate any
existing factory wiring or fluid lines. Drill a 5/16" or 8mm hole in the desired location and mount the switch by
passing the connectors, one at a time, through the panel from the front side and pressing on the bezel until the
switch is fully seated.
SHOCK SENSOR:
Select a solid mounting surface for the shock sensor on the firewall inside the passenger compartment and
mount the sensor using the two screws provided. The shock sensor can also be secured to any fixed brace
behind the dash using tie straps.
Whichever mounting method is selected, make certain that the sensitivity adjustment is accessible for use
later in the installation.
