  • Page 2 INSTALLATION OF THE MAJOR COMPONENTS: CONTROL MODULE: Select a mounting location inside the passenger compartment (up behind the dashboard). The mounting location selected must be within 24" of the ignition switch wiring harness to allow connection of the 6 pin main wiring harness. Be certain that the chosen location will not interfere with proper operation of the vehicle.
  • Page 3: Shock Sensor

    SIREN: Select a location in the engine compartment that is not accessible from below the vehicle. The selected location must be clear of hot or moving parts within the engine compartment The siren must be pointed downward to prevent water retention and the flared end must be pointed away from and out of the engine compartment for maximum sound distribution.
  • Page 4 DO NOT PLUG THE SIX PIN MAIN POWER HARNESS OR THE MULTI PIN INPUT/OUTPUT HARNESS INTO THE CONTROL MODULE UNTIL ALL CONNECTIONS TO THE VEHICLE HAVE BEEN MADE. AFTER SELECTING YOUR TARGET WIRES AS DEFINED BELOW, DISCON- NECT THE NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE FROM THE VEHICLE BATTERY PRIOR TO MAKING ANY CONNECTIONS.
  • Page 5 BLUE Wire: Ignition 1 Output Connect this wire to the ignition 1 wire from the ignition switch. This wire will show +12 volts when the ignition key is turned to the "ON" or "RUN" and the "START" or CRANK" positions, and will have 0 volts when the key is turned to the "OFF"...
  • Page 6 false triggering of the factory alarm when the remote start unit engages or when the transmitter is used to unlock the doors. NOTE: This output can be selected to operate like the door lock output as set in alarm feature setting #1 by selecting feature #13 of Bank 3 to as door unlock pulse.
  • Page 7 Orange: Ground While Armed Output This wire provides a 300 mA ground output when the alarm circuit is armed to control the starter inhibit relay. Connect the Orange wire to terminal #86 (orange wire) of the relay provided. Connect terminal #85 (red wire) of the relay to an ignition wire in the vehicle that is +12 volts when the ignition switch is turned to the on and start positions and off when the key is off.
  • Page 8 Brown Wire: Negative Door Trigger If the vehicle's door courtesy light switches ground when the door is opened, (Most GMs and Imports), you must connect this wire to the negative output from one of the vehicle's door pin switches. In most cases the Brown wire will need to be connected to only one door switch no matter how many doors the vehicle has as most door lighting circuits are wired in parallel.
  • Page 9 Green/Yellow Wire: DIESEL WAIT TO START INPUT The green/yellow wire, when connected to the wire that get + 12 volts during the glow plug preheat stage will delay the starter output until this wire drops the 12 volts. In other words, in a Diesel vehicle with glow plug preheat circuit, when the ignition is turned on, the vehicle will not crank until the glow plugs are hot enough to fire the atomized fuel oil when injected into the cylinder.
  • Page 10 The Light Blue wire can be used to accommodate the following situations: A. Shock Sensor By Pass: B. Additional Ignition Output: C. GM VATS Key Override: Green w/ Black Trace Wire: 250 mA Latched Channel 4 Output The Green w/ Black Trace wire supplies a 300 mA switched output whenever channel four of the receiver is accessed.
  • Page 11 4 Pin Shock Sensor Connector “D” Red, Black Green & Blue wires of the shock sensor harness provide +12 Volts, Ground, Full Trigger, and Pre-Detect inputs to and from the sensor. Route these wires from the previously installed sensor and connect to the mating connector on the control module. 2 Pin LED Harness, Connector “E”...

  • Page 13 3 Wire Positive Switched Door Lock Circuits: In this application, the Red wire of the 2 pin harness provides a Positive pulse during the arming sequence, or pulsed 12 Volt lock output. Connect the Red wire to the low current 12 volt signal wire from the factory door lock switch to the factory door lock relay.
  • Page 14 Setting Up The System Programming Features: Bank 1 Transmitter Channels Start with the system disarmed, tun the ignition switch to the on position then: 1) Press and release the push button valet/program switch 3 times. Siren Chirps once and or Lights flash one time indicating the transmitter program mode successfully entered.
