Rpm Monitoring; Hood Trigger - Clifford AvantGuard 4 Installation Instructions Manual

RPM Monitoring

This is required for both RPM-activated automatic door locking, remote engine starting and BlackJax Anti-Carjacking features. See
the RPM Monitoring section in this binder for information.
Self-Powered SmartSiren 4
The siren transmits a two-way digital signal between itself and the control unit. If a thief disconnects
power and/or cuts or tampers with any or all of the siren wires while the system is armed, the siren
will sound for five minutes and then reset. Since this will only occur while the system is armed, there
is no need for a siren override key. Unlike other back-up battery sirens that constantly drain the car
battery, Clifford's design draws charging current only when the ignition is on (i.e., engine running).
If the internal battery is discharged, the arm/disarm chirps are muted.
1. You must firmly secure the siren to the engine bay firewall or an fender well using all three sheet
metal screws supplied. Mount the siren away from areas of water ingress or excessive heat. Point
the siren down to avoid moisture.
2. Run the cable from the Smart Self-Powered Siren through the firewall in to the passenger compartment using caution as not to tear
the pins from the end of the cable.
3. Join the connector from the siren to the connector with the GREEN, YELLOW, BLACK and RED wires from the wireloom and
secure the connectors with a cable tie.
4. Insert the DataPort connector with the YELLOW and GREEN wires into the DataPort on the control unit.
NOTE: The ve hi cle must be driven for a total of eight hours af ter the si ren has been in stalled in or der to
suf fi ciently charge the si ren's back- up bat tery.

Hood Trigger

Vehicles with a ground-switching hood pin switch interface directly with AvantGuard 4 (on positive switching Rolls-Royce vehicles, use a
relay to invert polarity). If a switch cannot be located, you must add the supplied pin switch in a location away from water channels.
1. Connect the WHITE/BLACK wire to the hood pin wire (between the diode and pin switch if a diode was added) as shown on page 5.
NOTE: If the vehicle has a dashboard hood ajar indicator, install a 1-amp diode between the light and switch
with the diode band pointing toward the switch.
1. Connect the two 14AWG RED wires from the IntelliStart 4 9-pin pigtail connector to the 30-amp fuseholders as shown on page 3.
2. Connect the 18AWG RED wire from the IntelliStart 4 12-pin connector to the 5-amp fuseholder as shown on page 7.
3. Connect the 14AWG RED wire from the AvantGuard 4 12-pin pigtail connector to the 30-amp fuseholder as shown on page 3.
4. Connect the 18AWG RED wire from the Avant Guard 4 24-pin connector to the 5- amp fuse holder as shown on page 5.
5. Connect the 18AWG RED/WHITE wire from the AvantGuard 14-pin connector to the 20-amp fuseholder as shown on page 7.
6. Attach the six fuseholders to the positive battery terminal cable clamp using the supplied ring connectors.
7. Use ring connectors to attach the two BLACK wires from the AvantGuard 4 and the IntelliStart 4 to the negative battery terminal
cable clamp.
NOTE: Power and test ac ces so ries af ter the ba sic sys tem has been tested. In di vidu ally fuse all ac ces sory power
con nec tions. In di vidu ally fuse all +12V fuse panel con nec tions.
SmartPowerUp 2 ensures that the system powers up in the same state (disarmed, armed or valet mode) it was in when power was removed.
When you first power up the system, it will silently enter the disarmed state.
Some vehicles have a courtesy light delay or dimming circuit that interferes the alarm's door trigger detection upon remote arming. If the
delay or dimming lasts more than 5 seconds, no special connections or testing are needed, just turn on the Delayed Courtesy Lights feature
as noted in the Installer-Programmable Features section. Since this feature sets the system to arm the instant the courtesy lights turn off,
the Door Ajar Warning feature will not be available.
