deciding on component locations
locations for the siren
Some things to remember about mounting the siren:
●
Keep it away from heat sources, such as radiators, exhaust manifolds, turbochargers, and heat
shields.
●
Mount it where a thief cannot easily disconnect it, whether the hood is open or shut. Both the
siren and its wires should be difficult to find. This usually involves disguising the wire to look like
a factory harness.
●
We recommend against grounding the siren to its mounting screws. Instead, we recommend
running both the red and black wires into the passenger compartment and grounding to one
common point for all devices. After all, both wires are the same length and come already bonded
together. Whenever possible, conceal your wires in the factory harnesses or in the same style
loom as the factory.
●
When possible, place the siren on the same side of the vehicle as the control module, where its
wires will reach the control module’s wires without extending them. Always run the wires through
the center of a grommet, never through bare metal!
●
Point the siren down so water does not collect in it.
locations for the control module
Some things to remember about where to mount the control module:
●
Never put the control module in the engine compartment!
●
The first step in hot-wiring a vehicle is removing the driver's side under-dash panel to access the
starter and ignition wires. If the control module is placed just behind the driver's side dash it can
easily be disconnected.
●
When mounting the control module, try to find a secure location that will not require you to
extend the harnesses’ wires (they are 1.5 meters long). Keep it away from the heater core (or
any other heat sources) and any obvious leaks.
