Accessory Remote Start (-) Input
The BLUE/ORANGE wire will accept a (-) input pulse to activate the remote
start.
Glow Plug Light Input
The AviStart can start a diesel engine by one of two methods.
Pre-ignition
The module can be programmed to turn the ignition "ON" for 15 seconds
before the starter engages. This will allow the glow plugs time to warm up and
the glow plug light to turn off.
Glow Plug Light Monitoring
The glow plug light (+) input wire will monitor the glow plug light in the
dashboard. When a remote start is attempted, the ignition will turn on and
when the glow plug light turns "OFF" the engine will start
1 . Locate the glow plug light wire that will show (+) 12 volts while the
ignition key is on and the glow plug light wire is illuminated.
2 . Connect the AviStart ORANGE/BLACK wire to the vehicle glow plug light
wire.
NOTE: Do not use both "pre-ignition" and "glow plug light monitoring" at
the same time (use one or the other).
Ignition Switch Connections
NOTE: Because these wires can draw high current, we recommend that they
be soldered and shrink tubed or taped. If only one PINK wire is needed, tape
the end of the second PINK wire to prevent a short circuit. The main control
module has an 18 ga PINK wire that must be connected to the vehicle
ignition wire with one of the satellite module 14 ga wires.
Ignition #1 Ignition #2
The satellite relay module has two onboard 30-amp relays. Most vehicles have
only one ignition wire necessary to start the vehicle. Some vehicles have two
ignition wires. Make all wire connections at the ignition switch wire harness.
1 . Use a voltmeter to locate the wire(s) that show +12 volts while the ignition
key is in the "ON," "CRANK" and "RUN" positions and 0 volts when the
ignition key is in the "OFF" position.
2 . Connect the 18 and 14 ga PINK wires to the vehicle ignition wire.
3. If the vehicle has a second ignition wire, connect the 14 ga PINK/BLACK
wire to the second ignition wire.
