12A. Tach Rate Learning
Note: Only use if the tachometer sensing method is chosen.
A.
Connect the GREEN wire to the car’s tach wire under the hood.
B.
Turn the On/Off control switch to the “OFF” position. Wait 5 seconds
for the flashing of the red LED to stop.
C.
Push the white button to the left of the red LED once and you will see the
red LED flash. Now push the red button on the right side for a second
until you see the red LED flash again. You are now in TACH mode. (If
the LED flashed twice -- simply push the right button again until you get
only one flash).
D.
Wait 5 seconds for the red LED to flash 3 times.
E.
Turn the On/Off control switch back to the “ON” position
F.
Start the car and let it get to a normal idle. Do not press on the gas
pedal.
G.
Push the red button to the right of the red LED.
H.
Watch the red LED. It will turn on (solidly) after 3 or 4 seconds,
indicating that the idle rate has been learned.
I.
Turn the key to the “Lock/Off” position.
Note:
Once this step is complete, the red LED should remain lit only when the engine
is running (at up to twice the learned idle rate--above this rate the LED light
should shut off). THIS IS CRITICAL. Confirm this by running the engine
(with the key in the ignition) and pressing the gas pedal to raise the idle rate to
twice the normal rate. The red LED should turn off. If it does not turn off,
repeat the tach rate learning step and check the GREEN wire connection and
location.
13. Red/White Wire
Remote Input
Control Harness
The RED/WHITE wire is used to trigger the AutoCommand® to start. Giving this
wire a negative pulse will cause the AutoCommand® to start. Giving it another nega-
tive pulse will cause it to stop.
Hook this wire up to the output wire of your remote car alarm or keyless entry system.
Or, hook it to the lock or unlock wire of your vehicle and set Option 8 as described in
Section 21.
This input wire can also be triggered by our optional Smart Car Pager accessory which
can be controlled from any telephone anywhere in the world. This option requires the
pager module, an activation fee of $25 and a monthly service fee of $3.00/mo.

OPTIONAL STEPS
Many of the optional steps require a relay to be hooked up. The most common relay
used for this type of application is the Bosch type automotive relay P/N 0332
209150. Use the diagrams below for a typical hookup. If you use another type of
relay, then you need to know that pins 85 and 86 in this diagram represent the coils
of the relay. Pin 30 is the common and pin 87 is the normally open contact. If your
relay has a pin 87A, then it is not used for these applications. The diagrams below are
typically used for applications such as headlamp or parking lamp connections.
14.Yellow/Green Alarm Control
Control Harn
The YELLOW/GREEN wire is specifically designed to control the Ignition Input
of the remote control alarm system which is triggering the AutoCommand. Con-
nect this YELLOW/GREEN wire directly to the Ignition Input of the alarm. This
YELLOW/GREEN wire will go to +12 volts anytime it sees +12 volts on the
AutoCommand’s BLUE IGN 1 wire from the key. Thus this output follows the IGN
1 status. The only exception is that when the AutoCommand is powering up the
vehicle this wire will not activate. Thus the alarm remains operational during
AutoCommand control -- but not otherwise when the key alone is controlling the
igntion. This is a 300 mA transistor positive output.
15. GREEN/WHITE Sensor Loop IN
Control Harn
GRAY/BLACK Sensor Loop OUT
Control Harn
This GREEN/WHITE wire is the input to a normally closed relay. When the Auto-
Command is running -- this relay opens. Thus if you have an external sensor such as
a shock sensor -- you can pass this sensor’s output through the AutoCommand.
When the AutoCommand is running -- this sensor is opened -- or bypassed.
Cut the sensor output wire in half. Connect one side to this GREEN/WHITE wire
and the other side of the cut sensor wire to the GRAY/BLACK wire
.
