Secure Lock 

This feature allows the Remote Car Starter to control certain OEM factory Alarm systems 
without requiring the use of other wires for disarming the OEM Alarm. (Namely, this feature 
is designed for OEM systems which use the factory Lock wire to 

arm

the Alarm and the 

Unlock wire to 

disarm

it.) 

Standard Secure Lock 

If this Option is selected, upon receiving a remote 

START

 signal, Secure Lock will 

UNLOCK

 the 

Doors (disarming the factory Alarm); 1/2 sec. after remote start Secure Lock will 

re-lock

the 

Doors. 4 seconds after shutdown, Secure Lock will 

re-lock

all Doors (

arming 

the system 

once again). 

Please note 

that most OEM systems will 

not

rearm the Alarm while the Engine 

is running, but 

will still lock the Doors. 

Smart Secure Lock 

If the vehicle is initially locked, upon remote 

START

 the Remote Car Starter will trigger an 

unlock pulse 

and a 

disarm pulse 

before the Engine is started. The Remote Car Starter will 

LOCK

 again when the Engine is running, and 

LOCK

 once again 4 seconds after shut-down. 

If the vehicle is initially 

unlocked

, upon remote 

START

 the Remote Car Starter will start the 

Engine and arm the Starter Kill, but the Doors will not be locked or unlocked at any moment 
of the sequence. 

Lock Pulse Duration 

The duration of the Lock and Unlock pulses can be configured as follows: 

x

(Default) 7/10-sec. 

LOCK

 and 7/10-sec. 

UNLOCK

 pulses 

x

4-sec. 

LOCK/UNLOCK

pulses  to control vacuum Door Lock systems 

x

A

single 7/10-sec. 

LOCK

 pulse and

 two 1/4-sec.

UNLOCK

 pulses 

 for double-pulse disarm/unlock systems. 

x

1/10-sec. 

LOCK

 and 1/10-sec. 

UNLOCK

 pulses 

Run Time 

Use this Function to configure the length of time the Engine will be left running under remote 
control. The Remote Car Starter will allow the Engine to run for either 

4, 15 or 25

 min. in 

Gas Mode and 

9, 20 or 30

 min. in Diesel Mode. Standard default Run Time is 15 minutes in 

Gas mode and 20 minutes in Diesel mode. 

Starter Kill (Installation) 

The Remote Car Starter is equipped with a selectable 

Passive 

or

Active-arming Starter 

Kill

circuit that will prevent the vehicle from being started with the Ignition Key when the 

Remote Car Starter is armed. The Starter Kill wire will provide a constant 500-mA. negative 
output when the system is 

armed

(locked by remote control) and can be connected to an 

external Starter or Ignition interrupt relay (see diagram below).  
The Starter Kill circuit can be set to arm in either 

Passive Mode

 or 

Active Mode

.

Caution!!! 

When installing the Starter Kill, it is extremely important that pin 86 be wired to Ignition: do not jump 
it to pin 30 (damage to the vehicle could result). 

Note:

Installation of the Starter Kill system requires an external relay. 

(Not included!)
