REM-3D
REMOTE CONTROL
DOOR LATCH OPENER SYSTEM
INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the REM-3D Remote Control Door Latch Opener
System from Dakota Digital, Inc. This, along with many other products that Dakota
Digital, Inc. has to offer, represents the latest in electronics technology for the street rod,
classic car and truck, and any custom vehicle.
The REM-3D Remote Control Door Latch Opener system comes complete with
receiver module, two key chain transmitters, a sealed push-button switch, wiring
harness, and two door opener motors. It is installed to remotely release the driver's and
passenger's door independently. A safety feature disables the system when the ignition
is on to avoid accidental door opening during vehicle operation. Two internal door
release buttons can be wired into the system for removal of inside door handles as well.
An emergency release switch can be concealed on the underside of the vehicle should
the door ever be closed with the motor running and you on the outside. Pressing this
button will allow vehicle reentry even though the remote control system is disabled.
INSTALLATION
While installation of the REM-3D is very straightforward, paying a little attention
here and planning out how the system will fit into your specific vehicle will save some
time in the long run. First, determine the best mounting method for the door motors
within the doors. The pull (or push) on the original door latch or newer bear claw latch
should be as straight as possible. Securely mount the motor and route the connecting
rod as pertains to your specific situation. Use #6 self tapping screws for securing the
motor to your door panel. A steel rod or light cable may be used to attach the motor
arm to your latch.
The receiver should be mounted under the dash up on the fire wall for best
access to wiring. The kick panel is also another good location for the receiver.
Connect the REM-3D system as is shown in the wiring diagram. While the wiring
diagram is self explanatory, there are several key areas to pay particular attention to.
First, the 12 volt source should be able to supply up to 10 amps (needed if both motors
are activated simultaneously) and should not be connected to a feed that is shared with
a high current device such as a power window, power seat, or fan. Connecting to a
source shared by a device such as this may cause improper operation due to the surge
current and subsequent voltage drop caused by the high current devices.
The only wires that need to be passed to the doors are the two wires running to
each door motor. This should be done using a flexible rubber tube or rubber grommet
