Red And Black Wire Connection Power Wires; Yellow Wire Connection - Ignition 12 Volts - Omega Research & Development K9-FIVEc Owner's Manual

RED & BLACK WIRE CONNECTION power wires
RED WIRE: (12 volts positive input). FUNCTION ONE: To supply constant 12v positive for
alarm operation. FUNCTION TWO: After alarm is armed, if a dome light comes on the
current spike would be sensed by the red wire to trigger alarm "on" instantly & lock doors.
FUNCTION THREE: When 12 volts is first applied to red wire the alarm will trigger "on"
instantly to sound siren, lock doors, flash lights and prevent car starting for 60 seconds then
will continue to operate in the armed mode. Note: In valet mode with ignition key on, function
three will not work, allowing vehicle to be serviced without the alarm being triggered "on"
when the mechanic re-connects battery if the 9 volt back-up battery is working. FUNCTION
FOUR: To supply 12 volts, 7 amps to the built-in relay contacts for flashing lights from the
alarm white wire. CONNECTION: May be made directly to car battery, but for more
dependable current sensing connect to a Constant 12 Volt wire at the ignition switch or
behind the fuse block. Connection location must have 12v, 15amp capacity all the time.
BLACK WIRE: (Ground input) FUNCTION: To supply ground for alarm operation.
CONNECTION: Secure this wire to the metal grounded frame of vehicle or directly to the
battery ground cable 6" or more away from battery. Make sure to scrape away all dirt and
grease to get a good ground connection.
Note: If you have a bad ground connection, the alarm can find partial ground through other wires
connected, but alarm will not function correctly making you think you have a bad alarm. The
alarm can "half-way" work, so you would never suspect a badly grounded wire. In some cases
the alarm could arm & disarm but not function correctly.
Note: When power &ground are first applied the alarm will trigger "on" instantly.
Note: Thin black wire connected to alarm brain is the antenna wire. Just stretch this wire
out, don't connect this wire to anything or it will reduce your transmitting range.

YELLOW WIRE CONNECTION Ignition 12 volts
YELLOW WIRE: (Ignition +12 volt input).
FUNCTION ONE: The ignition switch turns 12 volts "on" or "off" to the yellow wire, allowing
the alarm to be armed and disarmed.
With ignition key "off" (No +12 volts to yellow wire):
A) Zone Test will work until the alarm becomes armed.
B) The alarm can be armed.
C) Valet button switch will still function if alarm is disarmed.
D) Valet/Override button will not work to disarm alarm, if alarm is armed or triggered
E) In valet mode transmitter can still operate Doorlocks, Trunk Release and Panic.
With ignition key "on" (Receives +12 volts to yellow wire):
A) Transmitter Code Verification will work for 10 seconds.
B) The alarm cannot become armed.
C) The valet/override button can work after yellow wire has +12 volts if the valet button is
pressed for two seconds within 5 seconds of yellow wire having +12 volts present.
D) The valet button can be turned on or off and holds memory of its selection while ignition key
is turned off.
E) Clears the L.E.D. light memory of flashing when alarm was triggered while you were away.
CONNECTION: Connect yellow wire to ignition wire at ignition switch or behind the fuse block
to a location that:
A) When ignition key is "Off" there is "No" +12 volts to yellow wire.
B) When ignition key is "On" and in "Start" there is +12 volts 10 amp positive to yellow wire.
