Inputs shorter than 0.8 seconds will trigger the Warn Away response, while inputs longer than 0.8 seconds will

trigger the full alarm sequence. If installing an optional DEI® dual stage sensor, connect both the blue and the

green wires of the optional sensor to this input. This wire will report Zone 4.

This wire is used in vehicles that have a positive (+) switched dome light circuit. Connect the violet wire to a

wire that shows (+)12V when any door is opened, and ground when the door is closed. This wire will report Zone 3.

Remove any paint and connect this wire to bare metal, preferably with a factory bolt rather than your own screw.

(Screws tend to either strip or loosen with time.) We recommend grounding all your components, including the

siren, to the same point in the vehicle.

Connect this wire to the 86 terminal of an optional starter kill relay.

IMPORTANT!

If the H1/9 output is not used, care must be taken to prevent this wire from short-

ing to chassis ground.

H1/9 YELLOW (+) ignition output

H1/8 BLACK (-) chassis ground connection

H1/7 VIOLET (+) door trigger input, zone 3

H1/6 BLUE (-) multiplex input, zone 4
