START COMMANDS
STARTING THE ENGINE
To start engine, press the
button (2 sec.).
The system automatically adjusts ignition duration for your type of vehicle; parking lights flash once (duration: four seconds)
then stay on all the time the engine is running.
If more than one command is sent, each successive start command resets the runtime to the beginning, parking lights flash
once to confirm command has been received and horn sounds once (programmable at time of installation) to let you know
engine is already running.
When the start command is emitted, the system will immediately send a confirmation
(1 Beep) that the vehicle is ready
to start or (2 Beeps) to indicate that the vehicle is not ready (ex.: the vehicle won't start if the hood is open).
If the vehicle is ready to start, the system will automatically change to the start cycle and send another confirmation
(
)
only if the command was successfully executed. The system can take a few seconds to send back the confirmation.
If the vehicle is not ready to start, the system returns the start fail code to the remote transmitter.
I
F ENGINE DOES NOT START
If your system cannot start engine at first attempt, it will wait a few seconds then try again; it could try again twice depending
on reason for failure to start.
After three attempts, it will shut down automatically and wait for a new command. In this case, the remote will indicate the
start fail code.

S
TATUS
Press (2 sec.) on the button and then (2 sec.) on the
button. The command module checks engine status,
protection zones status and lock status, then retransmits this information to remote control, which indicates the results on
the LCD display with a combination of pictograms.
If vehicle is out of range, remote control will give a chirp after three seconds and will flash all the buttons except the ones
used to transmit the command to indicate that either the control module or the remote transmitter could not receive the
command.
ENGINE RUNTIME
Your engine will stop automatically after a preset runtime. Parking lights will stay on as long as the engine is running.
T
RIGGER INPUT
Your remote starter is equipped with a negative trigger (pulse) input.
This input can be connected to another remote control device or to an AstroStart RST-2 timer
output (optional), part number 310-903-502.
If this input is connected, consult this device's manual or ask your technician which command
controls the Start/Stop function.
Commands received on this input are ignored while engine is running on a remote start.
All Start/Stop commands triggered on the input act the same as all remote control commands.
