TIMED START PROGRAM:
The Remote Start unit has the ability to start the vehicle automatically at timed intervals. This feature is
useful in extremely cold climates where starting the engine is the only means to keep the battery charged
and fluids warm. The operator has the option to have the unit start every 2 or 4 hours for a maximum of
48 hours. Factory preset is to start at 4 hour intervals. To select 2 or 4 hour automatic start timer:
1. Start By Holding the Push Button Switch found on the windshield mount receiver on.
2. While Holding the Push Button Switch Turn The Ignition Switch On Then Off
3a) Within 10 seconds of turning the ignition switch off, Release and then Push On and release the
Push Button Switch 2 times holding it on the second time until the siren and or lights flash and chirp 2
times indicating that the 2 Hour Start Interval has successfully been set. or
3b) Within 10 seconds of turning the ignition switch off, (Step 2) Release
and then Push On and release the Push Button Switch 4 times holding it on the fourth time until the
siren and or lights flash and chirp 4 times indicating that the 4 Hour Start Interval has successfully been
set.
NOTE: Once selected, 2 or 4, this timer interval will remain in memory until it is manually changed. To
change, the above sequence will have to be followed.
TIMED START OPERATION:
To begin the start timer, within 10 seconds of turning off the ignition switch, activate the RF command
to start 2 times. (Press the start button four times). The lights will flash and the siren will chirp 4 times.
Indicating timed interval mode has been initiated. The vehicle will automatically start every 2 or 4 hours
as programmed. To cancel the timed start mode start the vehicle either by RF or by the ignition key.
DIESEL ENGINE SETTINGS:
NOTE: When selecting Diesel operation, (Bank 3 Feature #12), over gasoline, the only change is to
the ignition circuits. When Diesel is selected, the ignition circuits will power up 10, 15, or 20 seconds
before the start circuit. The intent of this feature is to allow the glow plug warming required by some
diesel engines. If your vehicle is a instant start diesel, it is not necessary to activate this feature.
ALSO: When selecting Diesel mode, be certain that the intended vehicle has a true tach reference and
be certain to connect the tach input wire. Also note, if the "Diesel Wait to Start" input is connected,
(Green/Yellow) this wire will take precedence over the Diesel selection of bank 3 feature 12.
4 PIN IN VEHICLE DATA BUS PORT (DBI Port)
The 4 pin port located on the side of this module is for proprietary Audiovox data bus interface modules.
These modules are used to access a variety of features in the vehicle which can be as simple as door
trigger inputs, to more complex door locks outputs, or transponder interfaces for remote starting. DO
NOT connect anything to this port other than the Audiovox IDB modules or damage to the Remote Start
module will occur. All installation instructions for the IDB modules will be packaged with the individual
component along with the proper 4 pin wiring harness requires to access the data transmit & receive as
well as the proper voltage levels for the interface.
Monitoring The Vehicle's Engine:
There are 4 ways that the remote start monitors the engine running, one or the other must be selected for
your application for the remote start to operate correctly.
1) VOLTAGE SENSE SETTING:
The unit will monitor the voltage level of the battery during remote start, wait for the voltage to drop while
cranking, then look for the voltage level to go above the level it was before the vehicle began to crank
which indicates the vehicle is running. Feature #14 of Bank 3 must be set for averaging or the voltage
sense feature will not operate indicated by the parking lights flashing 7 times.
