    CAUTIONS & WARNINGS DAMAGE RESULTING FROM IMPROPER INSTALLATION IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY!! DO NOT remote start your vehicle in a closed garage. Make sure that the garage door is open or there is adequate ventilation. Failure to observe this rule could result in injury or death from poisonous Carbon Monoxide fumes. DO NOT ROUTE ANY WIRING THAT MAY BECOME ENTANGLED with the brake/gas pedals, steering column, or any other moving parts in the vehicle.

  • Page 4: Antenna Diagram

    ANTENNA DIAGRAM ANTENNA MODULE: For optimum range and performance, the antenna/receiver module should be located high up on the front windshield glass. For example: behind the rearview mirror. Note: Window tints or Films may decrease the range of the system. The mounting surface for the antenna should be clean and dry. ANTENNA LOCATIONS WINDSHIELD...

  • Page 5: Wiring Information

    Green: MODE A: (-) Start Activation Input This wire allows an outside source or accessory to activate a Remote Start. A 1-second Ground pulse on this wire will trigger a remote start. This wire can be used with an RS-400 temperature module. Green: MODE B (-) Optional Turbo Timer Input (3 Modes, Option #30) This wire allows the system to keep a vehicle running for 1-5 minutes...
  • Page 6 Green/Red: (-) 500mA Remote Aux. Output 1 (Programmable Option #10, requires relay) This is a programmable output that can operate two different ways: 1 - (DEFAULT) Disarm with Remote Auxiliary Output that provides a ½ second (-) Negative pulse when Button #3 is pressed to open a Factory power trunk or hatch release.
  • Page 7 Blue/White: (-) Passenger Door Unlock Output (Optional, requires relay) This wire activates when the unlock button on the remote is pressed a second time within 15 seconds upon disarming. This wire is used for the Optional Separate Driver’s/Passenger Unlock feature. Connects to unlock circuit for passenger door or doors.
  • Page 8 Orange/Black: (-) OEM Disarm Output This wire provides a Ground pulse to disarm the vehicles Factory Anti-Theft System prior to a Remote Start. Connect this wire to the vehicles' anti-theft disarm wire. This wire is sometimes found coming off the Driver's door key switch or at the Factory Anti-theft control module.
  • Page 9 WIRING: 5-PIN Connector (Trigger Inputs) Violet: (+) Door Pin Switch Input Same as the GREEN wire below except this wire is used for vehicles that show a positive voltage (+12 volts) when the door is open and a ground when doors are closed as in many Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles. Green: (-) Door Pin Switch Input Identify the wire that reads ground when any door is open and 12 volts when all doors are closed.
  • Page 10 WIRING: 5-PIN Connector OPTIONAL CAR JACK WIRING: HIDDEN BUTTON or IGN SW TOGGLE SWITCH + IGN (Not Included) 12 V PINK PINK CONTROLLED W/SWITCH FULL-TIME CARJACK White: (+12V) Brake Reset Connect the White wire to the side of brake pedal switch that shows +12 volts ONLY when pedal is depressed. This will turn off the remote start if someone attempts to drive the car without the keys or if the Ignition key is not turned on all the way.
  • Page 11 WIRE: 4 PIN OUTPUT CONNECTOR YELLOW/BLACK: (-) OEM REARM OUTPUT This wire provides a ground pulse to rearm the vehicles' FACTORY anti-theft system after a timed-out or aborted remote start. Connect this wire to the vehicles' anti-theft rearm wire or to the door pin circuit depending on your requirements.

  • Page 12: Shock Sensor

    WIRING: 4-PIN Shock Sensor (22 Gauge wires) SHOCK SENSOR: The sensor supplied with this system does not require any additional wiring. Simply mount the sensor in a suitable location, plug it in, and adjust the sensitivity. There are 2 LED’s on the shock sensor to assist you in adjusting sensitivity.

  • Page 16: Tachless, Tach Reference, Tach Finder, Timed Crank Modes

    Your system includes a Tach-less mode that actively monitors and compares the vehicle’s resting voltage versus its running voltage each time a remote start is performed; [instead of the conventional tach-pulse method]. Smart Tachless mode adjusts automatically to maintain optimum efficiency over the life of the installation. IMPORTANT NOTES: (1) SETUP may be required for the Tachless Mode.
  • Page 17 TACH MODE & TACH FINDER FEATURE Tach Reference Mode provides reliable remote starting performance though engine speed sensing. When using Tach Reference Mode, the WHITE/RED wire is used for Tach signal [Engine RPM] input. Most modern engines include various points where the Engine Speed [Tach] or A/C signal may be obtained. Tach Signal examples: Negative (-) side of ignition coil, at the Distributor or Ignition Control Module, Coil Pack, Engine Computer, or Crankshaft Sensor.
  • Page 18 As an alternative to Tach or Tachless mode, “Timed Crank” provides an additional method of starting the vehicle without locating an exact tach wire. It uses a timed cranking output combined with the use of the Red/White tach wire as an engine ON/OFF monitor. The Red/White Tach wire MUST STILL be used with this mode. THIS FEATURE MUST BE PROGRAMMED BEFORE USE! THERE ARE 2 LEVELS of programming required: First, set the system for “Timed Crank”...

  • Page 22 PROGRAMMABLE OPTIONS Cont. 3. PASSIVE ARMING Passive Arming With Ignition or Last Door: With this option ON, the unit will arm itself 30 Seconds after the ignition is turned off and/or the last door has been closed. Lights will flash twice when last door is closed indicating passive countdown. If a door is reopened, the system will wait and begin countdown again when closed.
  • Page 23 PROGRAMMABLE OPTIONS Cont. 12. DOOR LOCK/UNLOCK PULSE TIME: This option controls the amount of time (0.5 sec. or 3 sec.) for the lock/unlock pulse. The standard pulse time for most vehicles is 0.5 Sec. The 3 sec. setting may be required for Mid 1980’s through Mid 1990’s European Vehicles that require a long lock and unlock pulse to operate Vacuum door lock systems.
  • Page 24 21. PRE-SET STARTER CRANKING TIME: (Requires Option #16 in “Pre-Set” Setting) This option controls the starter cranking time when in “Timed Crank” Mode. Choices are 0.5, 0.75, 1.0, or 1.5 sec. 22. DIESEL GLOW PLUG DELAY This option controls the system’s Diesel vehicle interface. Using this option you can control whether the unit monitors the vehicle’s glow plug circuit using the Pink input wire (Default), or you may select a specific delay time Before cranking.

  • Page 25: Programmable Option Reset

    PROGRAMMABLE OPTIONS Cont. 29. Aux #4 Time control: (1 sec. to 255 sec.) Default = 12 seconds This option determines the length of time that is outputted from Aux #4 (Green/White wire). Pressing the Lock or Unlock buttons on the remote raises or lowers the time by one second. 30.

  • Page 26: Remote Transmitter / Transceiver Programming

    Note: All transmitter codes must be learned at time of programming!! The system learns up to 4 different transmitter codes. 1. Turn key to the ON position. (Pink wire must be connected.) 2. Press Programming button 4 times, then after a few seconds the unit flashes the parking lights 4 times. 3.

  • Page 27: 2-Vehicle Operation

    2 VEHICLE CONTROL Your remotes have the ability to control a second vehicle with a Crimestopper system installed. To set up the 2-Vehicle operation you must first program your remotes to Vehicle #2. Follow the “Transmitter Programming” steps (Pg. 26) at the second vehicle and learn YOUR remote, along with vehicle #2’s existing remotes.

  • Page 28: Alarm Trigger Diagnostics

    This systems includes disarm diagnostics, through the LED light, that will help in determining what caused the last trigger of the alarm system. This is a valuable tool in determining how the vehicle was tampered with or if there is a false alarm problem in which case you can make the necessary adjustments to correct the problem.
