REMOTE CONTROL AUTO SECURITY SYSTEM
PRE-INSTALLATION NOTES:
Model APS-15R
PASSIVE / ACTIVE ARMING SELECTION:
This alarm can be programmed to operate as either a “PASSIVE” or “ACTIVE” arming security system.
As a “Passive” alarm, the system will automatically arm itself approximately 30 seconds after the ignition key is turned off, one door
is opened, then all vehicle doors are closed, (arming is suspended until the last door is closed). This feature protects the vehicle in the
event you forget to arm the system using the keychain transmitter.
This system is shipped in the passive mode, therefore no modifications are required to make the system operate as a “Passive” alarm.
As an “Active” alarm, the system can only be armed using the keychain transmitter. There will be
no
backup automatic arming.
To make the system operate as an “Active” alarm, simply un-plug the quick disconnect terminals located on the small
black wire
loop
coming out of the control module.
VOLTAGE SENSE / HARDWIRE SELECTION:
This alarm can be wired to operate as a Voltage Sensing or a Hardwire system.
As a voltage sensing system, the alarm will trigger any time an entry point that illuminates a courtesy light is opened. The system is
shipped in the voltage sensing mode, therefore, no modifications are required to make this system a voltage sensing alarm.
As a hardwire system, the alarm will trigger any time a door, hood, trunk, etc. is opened, by wiring directly to the switches. This means
that if the courtesy light is burned out, or the courtesy light fuse is blown, the alarm will continue to protect all points of entry. To make
this system operate as a hardwire alarm, cut the small
green wire loop
coming out of the control module.
NOTE:
When “Passive Arming”
and
“Voltage Sensing” are selected, you
must
hardwire the driver’s door pin switch or passive
arming will never be initiated.
STARTER DISABLE:
This system provides an output to control an optional starter cut relay (not included).
When this option is installed, any time the system is armed, the vehicles starting circuit is inoperable.
DOOR LOCK / UNLOCK OUTPUTS:
This system provides negative (ground) pulsed door lock outputs, which allows direct connection to some (3 wire ground switched)
OEM factory installed power door lock control relays. These outputs have a maximum current capability of 300 mA.
When connecting to vehicles that use a 3 wire positive switched, or 4 or 5 wire alternating polarity door lock control circuit, the optional
AS-9159 Door Lock Interface is required.
As an added convenience to the professional security installer, a chart has been printed in this guide for recording wire colors,
component mounting locations, and any other useful tips particular to the vehicle you are working on. Taking a few extra moments
on each installation to fill in the chart, can save you valuable time in the future.
