light systems in these vehicles, you must use a separate SPDT relays to connect to each side in order to keep them
isolated.
Attach the WHITE wire of the system to this point.
BROWN Wire: Negative (-) Door Sense Input Wire
If the vehicle's interior lights are controlled by
grounding door pinswitches (typical of most GM, Chrysler, and import
vehicles), the Brown
negative door sense wire should connect to one of the vehicle's factory door pin switches. In many
cases the factory door pinswitches are wired in parallel, making it necessary to connect to only one door switch in order to
detect the opening of all doors. In a few cases this will not be true, making it necessary to connect to the vehicle dome light,
which typically is the intersection point of all doors.
Locate the vehicle's negative door trigger wire in the vehicle's kick panel or underdash. Connect the BROWN wire of the
system to this point.
PURPLE Wire: Positive (+) Door Sense Input Wire
If the vehicle's interior lights are controlled by
+12VDC (Positive) door pinswitches (typical of most Ford vehicles), the
Purple
positive door sense wire should connect to one of the vehicle's factory door pin switches. In many cases the factory
door pinswitches are wired in parallel, making it necessary to connect to only one door switch in order to detect the opening
of all doors. In a few cases this will not be true, making it necessary to connect to the vehicle domelight, which typically is
the intersection point of all doors.
Locate the vehicle's positive door trigger wire in the vehicle's kickpanel or underdash. Using the appropriate connector,
attach the PURPLE wire of the system to this point.
BLACK Wire: Main System Ground
This is one of the most important wires of the APS-45 installation. It must be connected properly to a solid chassis ground.
Special care must be taken to locate a clean metal part of the chassis as an attachment point for this wire. Some installers
prefer to locate a sturdy metal bolt under the dashboard or at the kickpanel, and use it as the attachment point.
If you find a suitable factory bolt that reads ground when tested, attach a ring terminal connector to the Black wire, remove
the bolt, place the ring terminal over the bolt and reinstall it, tightening it securely. If you choose instead to drill your own
mounting hole into the vehicle's chassis, be certain to remove any paint or grease and secure the ring terminal.
BLACK/WHITE Wire: Horn/Siren Output Wire
This wire provides a ground output (300 mA Max.) designed to drive a relay, which in turn can drive either the vehicle's horn
or an optional electronic siren. Depending upon which sounding device you decide to drive, the Black/White output wire
must first be programmed to control either the Horn or the Siren. The factory default setting is for the wire to control the
horn. Please refer to the section titled; "Programming System Features" later on in this manual for the programming
procedure.
To connect this output to drive a vehicle horn, locate the vehicle's horn wire, almost always a negative switched wire,
(typically found among the wires of the steering column), and connect it.
BLACK/WHITE Wire: Horn/Siren Output Wire
This wire provides a ground output (300 mA). To connect this output to drive an optional siren, a relay must be used to
convert the negative output to a positive output. The output wire must be programmed for siren output. Please refer to the
section titled; "Programming System Features" later on in this manual for the programming procedure.
Find a suitable mounting location for the siren and mount it properly. Run the siren's positive wire into the passenger
compartment to the location of the APS-45, and connect it to the additional relay.
GREEN/WHITE: Dome Light Supervision Output Wire
This wire provides a 30 second ground output (300 mA Max.) whenever the remote is used to unlock the doors with the
APS-45. This allows for the illumination of the vehicle's interior before entry. It also provides a flashing output that
duplicates the parking light output flash rate whenever the "Panic Mode" is engaged. This wire must be connected to an
external relay, and wired to the vehicle's interior entry lighting whenever the optional Interior Illumination feature circuit is
desired.
DARK BLUE Wire: Delayed 300mA Pulsed, Channel 2 Output
The Dark Blue wire supplies a 300mA ground pulsed output whenever channel two of the receiver is accessed. Pressing
transmitter Button 2 for three seconds will access Channel 2. This is a low current output and must be connected to a relay
to supply power to the trunk release or the circuit you wish to control. Connect the Dark Blue wire to terminal # 86 of a
VF45F11 P&B relay or equivalent. Connect terminal # 85 of the relay to a fused +12VDC source. Connect the common,
normally open, and normally closed contacts of the relay to perform the selected function of Channel 2.
GREEN/BLACK Wire: Immediate, 300mA Duration of Transmit, Channel 3 Output
The Green/Black wire supplies a 300mA switched output whenever Channel 3 of the receiver is accessed. Pressing both
