INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

I

MPORTANT: Make all wiring connections to the vehicle before connecting the main 

14-pin connector harness to the receiver and control module.

1.

Before 

mounting the BWS-1501 Receiver and Control Module, you must set the PROGRAMMING DIP-

SWITCHES for the kind of operation the customer wants.

These are the switch settings available; 

Standard (Default) settings are in

“BOLD”  

type:

Switch #1 

Door Lock and Unlock Pulse Time: ON = 3/4 seconds. OFF = 3 seconds.

Switch #2 

Door Lock and Unlock with ignition: ON = YES. OFF = NO.

Switch #3 

Door Locking with Passive Arming: ON = YES. OFF = NO.

Switch #4

Passive or Active Arming: ON = Passive Arming. OFF = Active Arming.

2.

Mount the Receiver and Control Module 

in a secure area, away from vehicle computers and heating/air condi-

tioning ducts.The location should be convenient for your installation, but well hidden from thieves.Try to mount the unit
as far away from metal objects as possible.This will increase the range of its Remote Control Transmitter.
3.

Route the wires of the harnesses  

to areas in which the different accessories will be mounted .You may

need to extend some wires. DO NOT plug the two wiring harnesses into the Receiver and Control
Module until all connections have been completed.
When running the harness wires through the vehicle, be careful to run them where they CANNOT be DAM-
AGED or SHORTED to GROUND or other WIRING. Keep them away from ALL MOVING PARTS of the vehicle
or where HIGH HEAT can damage their insulation.Always protect the harness wires where they pass through
holes in metal panels by using RUBBER GROMMETS.
4.

Mount the BWS-220 Siren 

under the vehicle’s hood. Mount it away from heat sources such as radiators,

exhaust manifolds, and turbochargers. Mount it in an area where it will not be in the way for mechanics, and so
that it cannot be easily reached from below the vehicle. Mount it so that its opening points down to prevent it
from collecting water, snow, or ice. Connect its BLACK wire to a good clean GROUND point, and its RED wire to
the ORANGE wire of the main harness.
5.

Mount the BWS-295 Shock Sensor 

Somewhere inside the vehicle such as under the dash, strapped to the

steering column, or under a seat.

Do Not Mount The Sensor Under The Hood! 

Connect its BLACK wire to a good, clean GROUND point, its RED wire to a source of CO12vdc, and
its BLUE wire to the BLUE wire of the main harness.

6.

Mount the BWS-180 LED Status Indicator 

in an easily seen location such as the center of the dash or the

inside top edge of the driver’s or passenger’s door. Connect its RED wire to a source of CO12vdc, and
its BLACK wire to the RED/BLACK wire of the main harness.

7.

Install the BWS-260 Valet/Override Switch

in a hidden location that is easily reached by the driver.

Remember that the code learning and valet/override sequence require using this switch in conjunction with the
ignition switch, so it should be hidden, but convenient to use when needed.
8.

Mount the BRS-003 Relay Socket and SPDT Relay 

in a location where it is hidden from potential thieves.

Find the vehicle’s STARTER wire and cut it in half. Connect the colored wires of the Relay Socket as follows:
BLACK

=

To STARTER wires on Starter side.

YELLOW

=

To STARTER wires on Switch side.

GRAY

=

GRAY wire of the main harness.

9.

Mount and connect any optional function modules 

included in the installation, following the mounting

and wiring directions supplied with them.
