    NOTE: If using the H1/1 ORANGE wire to activate an add-on accessory such as window automation, pager or voice module a 1Amp diode must be installed to ensure proper operation. Insert the diode as shown in the following diagram. IMPORTANT! Never interrupt any wire other than the starter wire. © 2002 Directed Electronics, Inc.
  • Page 5 SPDT relay must be used on the H1/2 light flash output wire. IMPORTANT! DO NOT connect this wire to a negative vehicle light flash wire before changing the programming jumper to the negative polarity position or damage to vehicle light circuit may occur. © 2002 Directed Electronics, Inc.
  • Page 6 See DirectFax document 1076 for wiring instructions. This wire will report Zone 3. NOTE: If using a door trigger wire that has a delay, Advanced Menu 2, feature 6, or the 998T Bitwriter can be used to turn Bypass Notification off. © 2002 Directed Electronics, Inc.
  • Page 7 DOES NOT have any vehicle component grounds attached to it. A screw should only be used when in conjunction with a two-sided lock washer. Under dash brackets and door sheet metal are not acceptable ground points. It is recommended that all security components be grounded at the same location. © 2002 Directed Electronics, Inc.
  • Page 8 The relay can drive circuits up to 20 amperes. The polarity of this output is deter- mined by the connection of the input wire H2/A in the Relay Harness. NOTE: If the input wire H2/A is not connected, there will be no output from the relay when it is activated. © 2002 Directed Electronics, Inc.
