H1/2 RED (+)12V constant power input Before connecting this wire, remove the supplied fuse. Connect to the battery positive terminal or the constant 12V supply to the ignition switch. N N O O T T E E : Always use a fuse within 12 inches of the point you obtain (+)12V. Do not use the 15 A fuse in the harness for this purpose.

H1/8 GREEN (-) door trigger input Most vehicles use negative door trigger circuits. Connect the GREEN wire to a wire showing ground when any door is opened. When connecting to newer model vehicles there is generally a need to use individual door triggers. See DirectFax document 1076 for wiring instructions. This wire will report Zone 3.

Relay Harness Wiring Instructions H2/A BLACK/WHITE input to on-board interior light illumination relay #87 This wire determines what the output polarity of H1/4 will be. If the door pin circuit is negative, connect to chassis ground. If the door circuit is positive, connect to a fused 12V source. IMPORTANT! The H2/A wire is not required for wiring the door locks.
NORMALLY GREEN/WHITE NORMALLY GREEN/WHITE CLOSED OPEN GREEN/BLACK GREEN NOT USED (87) NORMALLY OPEN (87) NORMALLY CLOSED (87A) NOT USED (87A) COMMON (30) COMMON (30) ON BOARD ON BOARD IMMOBILIZER IMMOBILIZER Peripheral Plug-In Harnesses Super Bright LED, 2-Pin WHITE Plug The super bright LED plugs into the two-pin WHITE port. Make sure the LED wires are not shorted to ground as the LED will be damaged.
GRAY wire in the two-pin plug may also be used as a (+) ghost switch input and can be connected to any (+) switch in the vehicle. (See Feature Descriptions section of this guide.) Programmer Interface, 3-Pin BLACK Plug The BLACK three-pin port is provided for programming of the unit. When using the 998T Bitwriter , it is possible to configure any and all of the programmable functions.
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. TRANSCEIVER/ TRANSCEIVER/ANTENNA ANTENNA CABLE CONTROL MODULE Optional Sensors, 4-Pin White Plug There are two optional sensor input ports.
Light Flash Jumper This jumper is used to determine the light flash output. In the (+) position, the on-board relay is enabled and the unit will output (+)12V on the WHITE wire, H1/11. In the (-) position, the WHITE wire, H1/11, will supply a 10 A (-) output suitable for driving factory negative parking light relays.
System Features Learn Routine The System Features Learn Routine dictates how the unit operates. Due to the number of steps, they have been broken up into three menus. It is possible to access and change any of the feature settings using the Valet/Program button. However, this process can be greatly simplified by using the 998T Bitwriter .

To exit the learn routine do one of the following: ➤ ➤ Close the open door. ➤ ➤ Turn the ignition on. ➤ ➤ No activity for longer than 15 seconds. ➤ ➤ Press the Valet/Program button too many times. System Features Menus Menu #1 - Basic Features Items in bold text have been programmed to the default setting at the factory.
Menu #3 - Advanced Features N N o o t t e e : Some of the features described below are only available with the Bitwriter ®. Feature One Chirp Two-Chirp Number Setting Setting Horn (pulsed) Horn (constant) Horn Function (full alarm only) Siren function—chirp length (20mS, 30mS, 40mS, 50mS) Factory Disarm with Channel 2 (On)
Feature Descriptions The features of the system are described below. Features that have additional settings that can be selected only when programming with the 998T Bitwriter are indicated by the following ® icon: Menu #1 - Basic Features 1-1 ACTIVE/PASSIVE ARMING: When active arming is selected, the system will only arm when the transmitter is used.
1-8 FORCED PASSIVE ARMING ON/OFF: To use this feature, passive arming must be selected in menu item 1-1. When turned on, forced passive arming will ensure that the system will passively arm, even if a zone is left open or invalid. Forced passive arming occurs one hour after the ignition is turned off.
Page 25
Press button six times 7 light flashes Zone 4 and 7 bypassed Press button seven times 8 light flashes All zones except zone 5 are bypassed N N O O T T E E : Multi-Level Security Arming only applies to a single arming cycle. Once the system is disarmed and then re-armed, all the zones will be active again.
Page 26
2-4 PROGRESSIVE DOOR TRIGGER ON/OFF: The system responds to a door trigger input with a progressive response. When the door is opened with the system armed, the siren will chirp 10 times prior to the full triggered sequence. The door trigger is still treated as an instant trigger and closing the door quickly will not prevent a full triggered sequence from occurring.
Page 27
2-9 DOUBLE/SINGLE PULSE LOCK: Some vehicles require two pulses on a single wire to lock the doors. When the double pulse lock feature is turned on, the GREEN/BLACK H2/C wire will supply two pulses instead of a single pulse. This makes it possible to directly interface with double pulse vehicles without any extra parts.

Transmitter Configurations The Auto Learn functions in the Transmitter/Receiver Learn Routine will program the transmitter buttons to the following configuration.
Shock Sensor Adjustment N N o o t t e e : : This procedure only adjusts the on-board Zone 2 shock sensor. Enter Shock Sensor Adjustment Mode IMPORTANT! The system must be disarmed, and doors and other protected entries (zones 1 and 6) must be closed, and ignition (zone 5) must be off.
Exit Shock Sensor Adjustment Mode The adjustment mode will be exited if: ➤ ➤ No input from transmitter for 15-seconds. ➤ ➤ No input from sensitivity testing for 15-seconds. ➤ ➤ The ignition is turned On. ➤ ➤ The Valet button is pressed. The siren will emit 1 long chirp and the LED will extinguish which shock adjustment mode is exited.

System will not passively arm until it is remotely armed and then disarmed. Are the door inputs connected? Is a blue H1/7 wire connected to the door trigger wire in the ➤ vehicle? Either the green H1/5 or the violet H1/6 should be used instead. Door input does not respond with the progressive trigger, but with immediate full alarm.
