  • Page 4 Precautions ■ Airwolf is designed to operate in a 12V system. ■ Always use a multimeter for checking wires. Test lights can trigger airbags and damage circuits. ■ Check polarity of all circuits before making connections. ■ Always connect the ground wire (CON 1, black) before applying power to the unit.

  • Page 9 ➅ White /Black: IGN 3 output This output is primarily used to control relays and bypass modules. The ignition 3 output behaves exactly like ignition 1, except this output provides a ground while running. Note: As this output is connected internally to the ignition 1 relay a diode, such as Radio Shacks 1n4001 (not included), may be needed to provide isolation if any feedback problems occur.

  • Page 11 ➃ Green/White: Trunk Release output ( 10A relay) This output provides a positive signal when the “Trunk Release” is activated. Refer to the following diagrams for proper connection. type Green/White type Green/White ➄ White : Starter Interrupt Signal output ( 300 mA transistor) 300mA output is used to disable starter via an external relay.
  • Page 12 ➅ Blue : Siren output wire ( 3A power transistor) B lue R ed wire wire ➆ White/Brown : Re-arm output.The 300mA transistor output to rearm the factory alarm. This output provides a negative (300mA max) signal when you lock the doors from remote control.
  • Page 13 Brown : Dome light output ( 300 mA transistor) This wire will turn on the dome light when you unlock the doors from remote control. This wire MUST be connected to a relay and MUST be configured EXACTLY as per the diagrams below. If the door pin switches are not isolated from the Dome Light output it will cause the alarm to trigger, and may cause the remote to incorrectly identify door status.

    For help identifying the type of lock system in your vehicle please refer to our vehicle wiring information on our website at www.designtech-intl.com Caution: improper connection of unit to door lock system may cause damage to unit or vehicle.
  • Page 15 Type B: Negative This system supplies ground pulse from the switch to the factory relays. The correct wires will measure some voltage on them when you are not pressing the lock/unlock switch. Pressing the switch will cause the voltage on the correct wires to fall to zero volts.

  • Page 21 9-6. White : Voltage Sense (optional) Use this connection only if you did not hook up the tach wire of step 9-1. This wire is used to sense when the motor has started and disengages the starter motor. ◆ Connection for Voltage Sense: Detects starting of engine with the Alternator voltage.
  • Page 22 9-10. Yellow/White : Parking light Input (optional) This wire is used to remind the driver when the parking lights are left on. If your vehicle has a positive parking light system connect this wire directly to the Yellow Parking Lights Wire from the remote start. If your vehicle has a negative parking light system please refer to the diagram below.

  • Page 24: Programming For Tach / Voltage Sense

    11. Programming for TACH / Voltage Sense Programming for Tach If the Alternator/Tachometer input wire is connected to the Tach wire (negative side of the coil), you must perform the steps below. It is best to perform the programming after the engine has been given some time to warm up and the RPM level has stabilized at its normal position.
  • Page 25 Programming if connected in Voltage Sense mode If the Alternator/Tachometer wire *IS NOT* connected to the tach wire as per PAGE 19, perform the steps below. Do NOT use the Green Tach wire. Connect the WHITE Voltage Sense wire to a source of 12 volts constant power.

  • Page 28 12 - 1,2 Door lock and unlock One output pulse (default)will lock/unlock most vehicles. Some vehicle may have an door lock system requiring two pulses - where the first pulse disarms an OEM alarm and the second pulse opens the doors, or the first pulse may unlock the driver door while the second pulse unlocks all doors.
  • Page 29 12 - 8 IGN 1 ON waiting time You can configure IGN 1 ON waiting time that determines the time between turning IGN ON and operating the starter motor when the brain attempts engine start. ● Note - If the vehicle is diesel and the warm-up sense wire is connected, the starter motor is operated when the warm-up sensor detects the glow plugs - regardless of this setting.
