MANDATORY RPM PROGRAMMING
Note: This MAN DA TORY pro gram ming step must be com pleted for the AvantGuard 4 to op er ate prop erly.
1. Drive the vehicle to a nearby open area and allow the engine to warm-up until the RPMs drop to the normal idle speed.
2. With the engine still running and the transmission in PARK or NEUTRAL, enter the factory preset PIN code of “2” by pressing the
PlainView 2 Switch’s
✱
button two times, then press the blank button.
3. Immediately press and HOLD the PlainView 2 Switch’s
✱
button for about 15 seconds until you hear 3 chirps (you’ll hear 1, then 3).
4. Press and release the blank button of the PlainView 2 Switch once. Pause. You will hear 1 chirp.
5. Press the
✱
button of the PlainView 2 Switch 5 times (you will hear a chirp each time). Pause. You will hear 2 chirps to confirm
that RPM has been set (if you hear just one chirp, check connection of the BLACK/GRAY wire). Turn the ignition off.
6. If working on an automatic transmission vehicle, you must also set the transmission type to automatic. See page 20.
Wireless Immobilizer
The Wireless Immobilizer can be installed anywhere in the vehicle where there is a 12V line that will shut down the engine when
cut.
You must
note the location of the Wireless Immobilizer on the form provided. A copy of this form must be given to the vehicle
owner and one must be kept on file at the facility where the system was installed.
NOTE: The Wireless Immobilizer is a normally closed relay that operates via the power of the circuit that it
interrupts. When the Wireless Immobilizer receives power, it looks for an RF signal from the AvantGuard 4 for
20 seconds. If it gets the proper sig nal within the 20 sec ond time frame, the re lay stays closed. If it does not
re ceive the cor rect sig nal within the al lot ted time, the re lay opens and the ve hi cle is im mobilized.
DO NOT INSTALL THE WIRELESS IMMOBILIZER UNTIL ALL OTHER COMPONENTS OF THE SECURITY SYSTEM
INSTALLATION HAVE BEEN COMPLETED AND THE SYSTEM HAS BEEN POWERED UP!
1. Find a positive ignition wire or positive fuel pump wire.
2. Connect the negative lead of the Clifford Signal Strength Indicator to ground and probe the wire with
the positive lead of the Signal Strength Indicator. In order to insure sufficient signal strength,
you must
use the Clifford Signal Strength Indicator to probe the line!
Us ing the Clif ford Sig nal Strength In di ca tor
The positive lead is used to probe the 12V line, and the negative lead
is connected to ground. To test the line, connect both leads and start
the engine. The LED status indicators will display the signal strength
for 20 seconds:
n
The 12VDC LED should be lit solid.
n
The DATA LED should be lit solid or flashing rapidly.
n
All 8 of the signal strength LEDs should be lit
If any of the above are not present, choose a different lead to interrupt.
3. Start the car. You will have 20 seconds to verify that the wire has 12V while the engine is running and that the
signal is strong enough for the Wireless Immobilizer.
4. With the engine running, cut the wire. The engine should shut down. If not, reconnect the severed line and
choose another circuit to interrupt.
NOTE: If the ig ni tion is left ON and the en gine has not been started, most ve hi cles will stop sup ply ing power to
the 12V cir cuit that goes to the fuel pump.
5. Connect the BLACK wire labeled
Ignition Fuel Input +12V
to the key side of the cut line.
6. Connect the BLACK wire labeled
Ignition Fuel 12V
to the engine side of the cut line.
7. Connect the ground wire to ground.
8. Mount the Wireless Immobilizer securely with tie wraps, double-backed tape, velcro or any other suitable secure mounting method.
NOTE: The ground point used by the Wireless Immobilizer must be very clean. A fac tory bolt that has been
com pletely cleaned with a wire brush is rec om mended.
9) Remove the labels from all wires.
