Control Module:
Select a mounting location inside the passenger compartment ( up behind the dash ) and secure using the
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 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)
An optional pin switch should be used for 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 an optional bracket or can be directly mounted by drilling a ¼ " diameter mounting
hole. Keep in mind that when properly mounted, the plunger of the pin switch should depress at least ¼ "
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.
STARTER INHIBIT RELAY:
Select a mounting location within 12" of the ignition switch's low current start solenoid wire. Secure the relay to an
existing harness in the chosen location using a cable tie around the relay's wiring harness.
Wire the relay as per the diagram found later in this manual.
CAUTION! Do not wire tie the metal bracket to an existing wiring harness as vibration may cause
chaffing and shorting damaging the factory wiring. If an existing harness is not available then
secure the relay's metal mounting tab to an under dash metal brace with a #8 self tapping
sheet metal screw. Wire the relay as per the diagram found later in this manual.
