Page 4: Installation Points To Remember
installation points to remember This product represents many years of research and development. It is a sophisticated product that 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 ultimate in security, coupled with limitless con- venience and expansion options. -
Page 5: Deciding On Component Locations
deciding on component locations locations for the siren Some things to remember when mounting the siren: I Keep it away from heat sources. Radiators, exhaust manifolds, turbochargers, and heat shields are all things to avoid. I Mount it where a thief cannot easily disconnect it, whether the hood is open or shut. Both the siren and its wires should be difficult to find. -
Page 6: Valet /Program Switch
I The higher the control module is in the vehicle, the better the transmitter range will be. If you put the control module under a seat or inside a metal dashboard, range will suffer. I Some good control module locations: Above the glove box, inside the center console, above the underdash fuse box, above the radio, etc. -
Page 7: Status Led
locations for the status LED Things to remember when positioning the Status LED: I It should be visible from both sides and the rear of the vehicle, if possible. I It needs at least -inch clearance to the rear. I It is easiest to use a small removable panel, such as a switch blank or a dash bezel. Remove it before drilling your -inch hole. -
Page 8: Finding The Wires You Need
finding the wires you need 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. IMPORTANT! Do not use a 12V test light to find these wires! All testing described in this manual should be performed using a digital multimeter. -

4. Turn the ignition key switch to the run position. If your meter reads (+)12V, go to the next step. If it doesn’t, probe a different wire. 5. Now turn the key to the start position. The meter display should remain steady, not dropping by more than a few tenths of a volt. -
Page 10: Starter Wire
How to find a door pin switch trigger wire with your multimeter: 1. Set to DCV or DC voltage (12V or 20V is fine). 2. In most cars, fasten the (+) probe of your meter to (+)12V constant. 3. Probe the wire you suspect of being the door trigger wire. If the meter reads (+)12V when any door is opened, you have found a trigger wire. -
Page 11: Making Your Connections
making your connections When connecting the security system’s wires to the wires in the vehicle it is important that the connections are tight and no bare wire is exposed. In this section, two types of connections are described that may be used to connect the wires from the security system into the vehicle’s wiring. -
Page 12: Solder Connections
solder connections 1. Using your wire strippers and razor knife, strip approximately -inch of insulation off the wire to be connected to, without cutting the wire. Stripped Vehicle Wire 2. Twist the security module’s wire around the bare section of the vehicle’s wire. Vehicle Wire Module Wire 3. -

H1/2 WHITE (-) parking light output This wire provides a (-) 200 mA output to flash the parking lights. This is suitable for driving (-) light control wires in Toyota, Lexus, BMW, some Mitsubishi, some Mazda, etc.
- Page 15 I A latched/reset with ignition output functions similarly to the latched output, but will also reset (output will stop) when the ignition is turned on then off. I A 30-second timed output will send a signal for 30 seconds when channel three is pressed. This output can also be programmed to provide a second unlock pulse when the disarm button is pressed within 15 seconds after disarming the system.

- Page 17 H1/8 BLACK (-) chassis ground connection Remove any paint and connect this wire to bare metal, preferably with a factory bolt rather than your own screw. (Screws tend to either strip or loosen with time.) We recommend grounding all your components, including the siren, to the same point in the vehicle.

H1/11 RED (+) 12V constant power input Before connecting this wire, remove the supplied fuse. Connect to the positive battery terminal or the constant 12V supply to the ignition switch. NOTE: Always use a fuse within 12 inches of the point that you obtain (+)12V. Do not use the 15A fuse in the harness for this purpose. -
Page 19: Door Lock Harness (H2) Wire Connection Guide
door lock harness (H2) wire connection guide type A: (+) 12V pulses from the switch to the factory relays The system can control a Type A system directly, with no additional parts. The switch will have three wires on it, and one will test (+)12V constantly. The others will alternately pulse (+)12V when the switch is pressed to the lock or unlock position. -
Page 20: Negative-Triggered, Relay Driven Systems (Type B)
type B: (-) pulses from the switch to the factory relays This system is common in many Toyota, Nissan, Honda, and Saturn models, as well as Fords with the keyless- entry system (some other Fords also use Type B). The switch will have three wires on it, and one wire will test ground all the time. One wire will pulse (-) when the switch locks the doors, and the other wire will pulse (-) when the switch unlocks the doors. -

Page 22: Electrically Activated Vacuum (Type E)
type E: mercedes-benz and audi (1985 & newer) Type E door locks are controlled by an electrically activated vacuum pump. Some Mercedes and Audi models use a Type D system. Test by locking doors from the passenger key cylinder. If all the doors lock, the vehicle's door lock system can be controlled with just two relays (optional). -
Page 23: Positive Multiplex (Type G)
type G: positive multiplex This system is most commonly found in Ford, Mazda, Chrysler and GM vehicles. The door lock switch or door key cylinder may contain either one or two resistors. When interfacing with this type of door lock system, two relays or a DEI 451M must be used. -
Page 24: Negative Multiplex (Type H)
type H: negative multiplex The system is most commonly found in Ford, Mazda, Chrysler and GM vehicles. The door lock switch or door key cylinder may contain either one or two resistors. When interfacing with this type of door lock system, two relays or a DEI 451M must be used. -
Page 25: On-Board Doubleguard Shock Sensor
on-board doubleguard shock sensor There is a Doubleguard ® shock sensor inside the control unit. Adjustments are made via the rotary control as indi- cated above. Since the shock sensor does not work well when mounted firmly to metal, we recommend against screwing down the control module. -

BLUE, GREEN wires The blue and green wires are multiplex inputs. They are both tied to the same zone. If an input of less than 0.8 seconds is supplied to either wire the Warn Away response will occur. An input longer than 0.8 seconds to either wire will initiate the triggered sequence and report zone 4. -

NOTE: The Valet ® pulse count feature (10) and the channel three timed output (11) have five possible settings each. Pressing the disarm (or channel 2) button will toggle through all the possi- ble settings. Release the Valet ® /program switch. once a feature is programmed I Other features can be programmed. -

Page 31: Transmitter/Receiver Learn Routine
transmitter/receiver learn routine The system comes with two transmitters that have been taught to the receiver. The receiver can store up to four different transmitter codes in memory. Use the following learn routine to add transmitters to the system or to change button assignments if desired. -
Page 32: Table Of Zones
Channel 2: If any transmitter button from a known transmitter is programmed to channel two, all transmitters will be erased from memory, and system features will return to factory default settings. This is useful in cases where the one of the customer’s transmitters is lost or stolen. This will erase any lost or stolen transmitters from the system’s memory. -
Page 33: Long-Term Event History
long-term event history The system stores the last two full triggers in memory. These are not erasable. Each time the unit detects a full trigger, the older of the two triggers in memory will be replaced by the new trigger. To access long-term event history: Turn on the ignition. - Page 34 I Door input does not respond with the progressive trigger, but with immediate full alarm: Which zone does the LED indicate? If the LED indicates that the impact sensor caused the trigger, the sensor may be detecting the door opening. Reducing the sensitivity or relocating the sensor can often solve this problem.
