Installation Basics
CM6000
If you are new to installing Firstech Series Remote Starts and / or Alarms, we highly recommended that you
thoroughly review this manual to installing your first unit.
Key Points to Consider Before Installation:
You must code remotes to this system before anything will function. Program remotes by cycling the ignition
ON / OFF five times within seven seconds and tap button 1 (0.5 second) on the first remote, and then tap button
1 (0.5 second) on the second remote.
RPS-2 (Remote Paging Sensor):
The optional RPS that has four main functions; (1.) Status LED, (2.) Remote notification when triggered, and
(3.) Auto unlock/alarm disarm when a user specific 4 digit knock code is entered via tapping sensor through the
windshield. (4.) You can also now relock your vehicle if equipped through the RPS-2 sensor.
Secure Valet:
This optional switch breaks the internal ignition connection to prevent the system from being put into valet
when cycling the ignition ON / OFF five times.
Internal green loop must be cut for AUTOMATIC transmission vehicles.
By default, the units come in MANUAL transmission mode. You will need to cut the green loop inside the con-
trol module if you are installing the unit in a AUTOMATIC transmission.
Tach learning procedure:
Learn tach by: (1.) Starting the vehicle with the key, (2.) Press and hold the foot brake, then (3.) Hold the re-
mote start button on the remote for 2.5 seconds - one chirp and parking light flash indicates that the vehicle tach
signal has been successfully learned. Two chirps and two parking light flashes indicate that the control module
failed to see a proper tachometer signal. (These units have the option for Tachless and 1.5 second assume crank-
ing).
New Option Menus:
It is important to familiarize yourself with all the options as it will save time in most applications. For instance,
Option 1-04 controls the double pulse unlock feature on all CM6 series control modules.
Programmable Output Connectors (POC)
Must have Option Programmer OP500
All control modules come with 9 programmable outputs that can be configured 19 different ways. It is important
to familiarize yourself with the POCs as it will save time in most applications.
