    1 Amp diode must be installed to ensure proper operation. Insert the diode as shown in the following diagram. IMPORTANT! Never interrupt any wire other than the starter wire. © 2003 Directed Electronics, Inc.
  • Page 8 SPDT relay must be used on the H1/2 light flash output wire. IMPORTANT! DO NOT connect this wire to a negative vehicle light flash wire before changing the programming jumper to the negative polarity position or damage to vehicle light circuit may occur. © 2002 Directed Electronics, Inc.
  • Page 9 See DirectFax document 1076 for wiring instructions. This wire will report Zone 3. NOTE: If using a door trigger wire that has a delay, Advanced Menu 2, feature 6, or the 998T Bitwriter can be used to turn Bypass Notification off. © 2003 Directed Electronics, Inc.
  • Page 10 DOES NOT have any vehicle component grounds attached to it. A screw should only be used when in conjunction with a two-sided lock washer. Under dash brackets and door sheet metal are not acceptable ground points. It is recommended that all security components be grounded at the same location. © 2002 Directed Electronics, Inc.
  • Page 11 IMPORTANT! Never use this wire to drive anything but a relay or a low-current input! The transistorized output can only supply 200 mA of current. Connecting directly to a solenoid, motor, or other high-current device will cause it to fail. © 2003 Directed Electronics, Inc.

    There are some instances of diesel vehicles without WAIT TO START wires. In this case, please contact Technical Support. NOTE: A 1-amp diode must be installed in line on the factory wire between the wait-to-start indicator and the ECM or the glow plugs will stay engaged, draining the battery. © 2002 Directed Electronics, Inc.

    IMPORTANT! Once the interface is complete, attempt to remote start the vehicle with the door closed and the key in the ignition. The vehicle should not start. If it does, recheck the connections. © 2002 Directed Electronics, Inc.

  • Page 19: Super Bright Led, 2-Pin White Plug

    LED wires are not shorted to ground as the LED will be damaged. Multiple LED’s can be used, but they must be wired in series. The LED fits into a 17/64 flush mount or 5/16-inch front load mounting hole. Be sure to check for clearance prior to drilling the mounting hole. © 2003 Directed Electronics, Inc.

  • Page 21: Mounting The Receiver/Antenna

    IMPORTANT! To achieve the best possible range, DO NOT leave the antenna cable bundled under the dash. Always extend the cable full length during installation, regardless of the antenna mounting location. DRW-365 © 2003 Directed Electronics, Inc.

  • Page 22: Light Flash Jumper

    Changing the jumper to the ON setting changes the trigger threshold of the digital tach circuit so it will work properly with these vehicles. The vehicles affected include many newer Dodge/Chrysler/Plymouth vehicles, such as the Neon, Cirrus, Stratus, Breeze and LH-based vehicles. © 2002 Directed Electronics, Inc.

  • Page 27 The longer the word is, the easier it is to block its transmission to the unit. Disabling the Code Hopping™ feature lets the receiver ignore the Code Hopping™ part of the transmitted word. As a result, the unit may have better range with Code Hopping™ off. © 2003 Directed Electronics, Inc.

    Does the Status LED indicate that the trigger was caused by the shock sensor? (See Diagnostics section of this guide.) The shock sensor, if set to extreme sensitivity, may be detecting the door unlatching before the door switch sends its signal. Reducing the sensitivity can solve this problem. © 2003 Directed Electronics, Inc.

    Check connections. The two red heavy gauge input wires on the relay satellite should have solid connections. "T-taps" or "scotch locks" are not recommended for any high current heavy gauge wiring. Also, if the vehicle has more than one 12-volt input wire, then connect one red wire to each. © 2003 Directed Electronics, Inc.
