INSTALLATION OF THE MAJOR COMPONENTS:
CONTROL MODULE:
Select a mounting location inside the passenger compartment (up behind the dashboard). The
mounting location selected must be within 24" of the ignition switch wiring harness to allow
connection of the 6 pin main wiring harness.
Be certain that the chosen location will not interfere with proper operation of the vehicle. Avoid
mounting the module to or routing the wiring around the steering shaft/column, as the module or
wiring may wrap around or block the steering wheel preventing proper control of the vehicle.
Secure the module in the chosen location using cable ties or screws as necessary.
Do Not Mount The Module In The Engine Compartment, as it is not waterproof.
DASH MOUNTED LED:
The small LED included in the kit will serve as a visual indicator of the alarm's status and
provide a visual deterrent to a potential thief. The LED also provides important feed back infor-
mation during the transmitter and feature program modes. The LED should be installed in the
dash in an area highly visible so that it may be seen from the driver's seat as well as from outside
the vehicle. Inspect behind the chosen location to insure that the drill will not penetrate any
existing factory wiring or fluid lines. Carefully drill a 1/4" hole in the desired location and pass the
connector end of the LED through the hole and toward the control module. Press the LED firmly
into place until it is fully seated in the mounting hole.
THE RECEIVER/ANTENNA ASSEMBLY:
The Super-regenerative Receiver Antenna Assembly provided with this unit allows routing from
below the dash board for maximum operating range. Choose a location above the belt line
(dashboard) of the vehicle for best reception. Special considerations must be made for wind-
shield glass as some newer vehicles utilize a metallic shielded window glass that will inhibit or
restrict RF reception. In these vehicles, route the antenna toward a rear window location for best
reception. Secure the antenna with double stick tape provided. After securing the antenna with
tape, we advise also securing a section of the antenna cable to a fixed support. This will prevent
the antenna from dropping down in case the double stick tape is exposed to extreme heat which
may loosen it's gummed surface. Route the connector toward the control module using caution
not to pinch the cable as this will cause poor or no RF reception to the control module.
VALET/PROGRAM/MANUAL OVERRIDE SWITCH :
Select a mounting location that is easily accessible to the operator of the vehicle. It is not
necessary to conceal the switch. However, concealment is recommended as it offers a higher
level of security. The switch can be mounted to the lower dash panel in the driver's area. Inspect
behind the chosen location to insure that adequate clearance is allowed for the body of the
switch, and also that the drill will not penetrate any existing factory wiring or fluid lines. Drill a 9/
32" hole in the desired location and mount the switch by passing it through the panel from the
underside. Secure the switch using the nut, star washer. Route the switch's connector toward
the control module.
NOTE:
During the program sequence, there are times when this switch and the ignition switch
will be used simultaneously. We recommend that the pushbutton switch be mounted
on the left side of the ignition switch to facilitate this operation.
SIREN:
Select a location in the engine compartment that is not accessible from below the vehicle. The
selected location must be clear of hot or moving parts within the engine compartment The siren
must be pointed downward to prevent water retention and the flared end must be pointed away
from and out of the engine compartment for maximum sound distribution. Before securing the
siren, check behind your chosen location to assure that the mounting screws will not penetrate
any factory wiring or fluid lines. Secure the siren mounting bracket using #8 self taping screws or
by first using the mounting bracket as a template, scribe or mark the mounting holes. Drill the
marked holes using a 1/8" drill bit, then mount the siren using #8 sheet metal screws.
HOOD PIN SWITCH:
The pin switch included in this package are intended for protecting the hood area of the vehicle.
In all cases, the switch must be mounted to a grounded metal surface. When the pin switch is
activated, (hood/trunk open), it will supply a ground to the input wire activating the alarm. In
addition, the hood switch is required for the safety shut down of the remote start unit. If the
vehicle is being worked on, this hood switch prevents the remote start activation even if the RF
command to start is issued. This switch must be installed in all applications. Failure to do so
may result in personal injury or property damage.
Mount the switch in the hood locations away from water drain paths. If necessary, the included
bracket may be used to move the switch away from rain gutters or allow mounting to the firewall
