Installation points to remember This product represents many years of research and development. It is very sophisticated and should be installed by experienced security installers only. Please do not attempt installation of this product without reading this guide. The system has been designed to provide the ulti- mate in security, coupled with limitless convenience and expansion options.
After the install Test all functions. The “Using Your System” section of the Owner’s Guide is very helpful when testing. When testing, don’t forget that this system is equipped with Nuisance Pre- ™ vention Circuitry. NPC can bypass both sensor zones, making them seem to stop working.
Deciding on component location Control module Never put the control module in the engine compartment! The first step in hot-wiring a vehicle is removing the driver's side under- dash panel to access the starter and ignition wires. If the control module is placed just behind the driver's side dash it can easily be disconnect- When locating the control module, try to find a secure location that will not require you to extend the harnesses’...
LED and Valet switch Things to remember when positioning the LED and Valet switch: • The LED should be visible from both sides and the rear of the vehicle, if possible. • The LED and Valet switch should be at least 1-1/2"...
Connecting your wires Now that you have decided where each component will be located, you’re going to find the wires in the car that the security system will be connected to. I I m m p p o o r r t t a a n n t t ! ! Do not use a 12V test light or logic probe to find these wires! All testing described in this manual is described using a digital multimeter.
Page 11
Finding the 12V switch ignition wire The ignition wire is powered when the key is in the run or start position. This is because the ignition wire powers the ignition system (spark plugs, coil) as well as the fuel delivery system (fuel pump, fuel injection comput- er).
Finding a parking light wire The parking light wire is often found near the switch. Many cars have the switch built into the turn signal lever, and the parking light wire can be found in the steering column. The same wire is often available in the kick panel or running board.
Finding the door pin switch circuit The best places to find the door switch wire are: At the pin switch: When testing at the pin switch, check the wire to ensure that it “sees” all the doors. Often, the passenger switch will cover all the doors even if the driver’s switch will not.

Main harness wiring guide H1/1 ORANGE (-) 500 mA ground-when-armed output: This wire sup- plies a (-) ground as long as the system is armed. This output ceases as soon as the system is disarmed. This wire controls operation of the pre- wired starter kill relay and can be used to control other optional acces- sories.
Page 16
H1/2 WHITE light flash output: As shipped, this wire should be connect- ed to the (+) parking light wire. It will supply a (+) 10A output. If the light flash polarity fuse jumper inside the unit is moved to the opposite posi- tion (see Internal Jumpers), this wire supplies a (-) 10A output.
Page 17
H1/5 GREEN (-) door trigger input: Most vehicles use negative door trigger circuits. Connect the green wire to a wire which shows ground when any door is opened. In vehicles with factory delays on the dome- light circuit, there is usually a wire that is unaffected by the delay cir- cuitry.
Page 18
H1/7 VIOLET (+) door trigger input: This wire is used in vehicles that have a positive (+) switched dome light circuit . Connect the violet wire to a wire that shows (+)12V when any door is opened and ground, when the door is closed H1/8 BLACK (-) chassis ground connection: We recommend that you do not use a factory ground.
Page 19
H1/9 YELLOW (+) ignition input: Connect this wire to the (+)12V igni- tion wire. This wire must show (+)12V with the key in Run position and during cranking. Take care to insure that this wire cannot be shorted to the vehicle chassis at any point. H1/10 BROWN (+) siren output: Connect this to the RED wire of the siren.
vide (-) ground when the ignition is turned off and will continue to out- put (-) ground until a door is opened then closed. This can be used to energize the accessory circuit in the vehicle to keep the radio and other accessories on after the ignition is turned off.
Auxiliary harness wiring guide H2/1 BROWN (-) horn honk output: This wire supplies a 200 mA (-) output that can be used to honk the vehicle’s horn. It provides a pulsed output when the security system is armed/disarmed and in the triggered sequence or in panic mode.

be used for disarm defeat input. The H2/3 wire connection is not required if using H2/7 YELLOW/BLACK as a disarm defeat wire. H2/4 BLUE disarm input: Connect the BLUE wire to a wire that changes state when the doors are unlocked using the factory keyless entry trans- mitter.
Keyless entry systems—two types There are two main types of keyless entry systems. Systems that unlock the driver’s door first and Systems that unlock all doors at the same time. drivers priority unlock To test for this type of system unlock the door, by using the factory remote.
Page 24
No priority—driver’s door unlock This type of keyless entry system is common in import vehicles as well as many Jeep vehicles. When unlocking the doors with the transmitter all doors unlock at the same time. It is recommended to use H2/7 YEL- LOW/BLACK wire for Disarm Defeat instead of the H2/3 RED wire.
Door lock harness wire connection guide These door lock outputs are for Passive arming control of the factory door locks. They can also be used to control the door locks with the ignition switch for vehicles that do not have this feature in the factory RKE system.
Data port—Bitwriter ® The black three-pin port can be used for programming the unit using the Directed Bitwriter, a hand held programming tool. The Bitwriter also allows programming of features that are not available in the feature menus. Four-pin optional sensor harness RED wire The red wire supplies constant power to the optional sensor.
Door lock learn routine Before the unit will respond to the factory remote keyless system, it must learn the polarity of the door lock wires. To learn the lock polarity: It is important that all the INPUT signals to the control module are in the rest status state (no activity) before entering the learn routine.
If the lock/unlock learn was unsuccessful, unplug the 12 pin harness for 15 seconds and re-attempt procedure. The systems learn routine will only be active for ten seconds after power up. If locks are not successfully learned unplug main 12 pin harness for 15 seconds and re-attempt.
On-board dual stage shock sensor There is a dual-stage shock sensor inside the control module. Adjustments are made via programming routine indicated below. Since the shock sen- sor does not work well when mounted firmly to metal, we recommend against screwing down the control module. The full trigger of the onboard shock sensor reports zone 2.
Page 30
When the sensitivity increases, two quick, short chirps/honks are heard. Decreased sensitivity is indicated by one quick chirp. If maximum or minimum settings are reached, a long chirp/honk is added. You can test the adjustment setting by striking the outside of the vehicle with varied force levels to trigger the sytem.
Internal polarity jumper A 10A fuse is used as both a fuse and a polarity jumper. This jumper determines the light flash output polarity. In the (+) position (default), the on-board relay is enabled and the unit will output (+)12V on the WHITE wire, H1/2.
Long term event history The control module will store the last 2 triggers in memory that are not erased when the ignition is turned on. This can be helpful for trouble shooting false alarm reports. To access the event history use the follow- ing procedure.
Feature programming The feature programming routine is used to access and change any of the feature settings in the two menus below. The feature settings can be accessed and changed by using one of the following: The Valet switch to enter the feature programming routine. Use of the Directed Electronics Bitwriter is recommended.
5. Within 5-seconds, press and release the Valet switch the number of times corresponding to the desired feature listed below. Then press the Valet switch one more time and hold. The siren/horn will sound the num- ber of times equal to the feature number selected. 6.
Accessing feature menu 2 Release, then press and hold the Valet switch. After 3-seconds, the unit will advance to the next menu and the siren/horn will sound 2 times to indicate feature menu 2 has been entered. Exiting feature programming You can do ONE of the following: Turn the ignition On.

The delayed accessory output allows selected vehicle accessories to remain on (such as radio) when the ignition is turned off. This output is active for 1 hour until a door is opened and closed - or the system is armed using the factory remote transmitter. Feature menu 2 Factory default settings are shown in bold.
Troubleshooting Starter kill does not work: Is the correct starter wire being interrupted? If the car starts when the starter kill relay is completely disconnected, the wrong starter wire has been cut and interrupted. • Is the yellow wire connected to “true” ignition? Make sure this wire is connected to a wire that has power in the run and start positions.

Passive or Ignition controlled door locks operate backwards. • This unit has easily-reversed lock/unlock outputs. Recheck Door lock harness outputs (H3) section, to see if you have reversed these. The siren chirps/horn honks when the unit enters panic mode, but the confirmation chirps/honks do not work when locking and unlocking.
Page 41
Door Lock Learn Routine does not work, the unit enters the learn routine then chirps/honks and exits. • Some cars do not lock the doors when the door is open. For these vehicles, to program the unit correctly the door needs to be closed. Unit goes into Programming every time the ignition is turned off.
