Before you begin the installation
• Read the INSTRUCTIONS!
• Always use a multi-meter when verifying
vehicle wiring.
• Before mounting the product, verify with
the customer the desired location for the valet
switch and LED.
• Protect the vehicle by using fender
covers.
• Always look before drilling. Make sure
you will not cause damage to vehicle
hoses, electrical looms or physical damage
to vehicle.
Mounting System Module
Mount the system module under the dash
where it will be difficult for a potential
thief to locate the module, and away from
moving parts such as brake pedals, etc.
Route the antenna wire away from wire
looms, computer modules and metallic
objects for better range.
Mounting Siren
Mount the siren in a suitable place under
the hood, away from hot and moving
engine parts such as manifolds, fan belts,
etc. Make sure the siren cannot be
accessed from underneath the vehicle or
through the grill. Face the siren down so
that water cannot accumulate inside the
siren bell. Protect wires running through
the firewall using either tape or split loom
tubing. If a new hole is needed, protect the
wire from chaffing by installing a proper
size grommet.
Mounting Shock Sensor
Secure the shock sensor to the steering
column, thick wire harness or a dash brace,
using a wire tie. Make sure that the
adjustment screw is accessible for later
testing and adjustment.
14-Pin Main Harness:
• RED WIRE - +12V Battery input. Connect
the red fused wire on the main harness to a
co12V source.This source wire should
be at least 15 amp supply.
• WHITE WIRE - Parking Light output (+) 10A
relay. Connect to the vehicle’s parking light
wire. If the vehicle’s parking light circuit exceeds
10 amps a relay is required. For vehicle’s with
independent left and right parking light circuits,
the parking light wires must be connected using
diodes to keep the circuits separate. A relay is
required for vehicles with negative parking light
circuits. NOTE: Do not connect the WHITE
wire to the vehicle’s headlight circuit.
• BROWN WIRE - Siren wire output (+) 3A.
Connect to the siren’s red wire. Connect the
siren’s black wire to ground.
• BLUE/WHITE WIRE - Not used.
• WHITE/RED WIRE - Not used.
• ORANGE WIRE - Armed Output (-) 500mA.
Connect to a relay for optional starter defeat
(See wiring diagram). The ORANGE wire
