VISION 1460 INSTALL GUIDE
Install ation Tips
Steps Toward a Professional Installation:
•
Ensure all electrical contacts cannot easily break by tugging on the
wires. We highly recommend the use of optional PosiTap brand connec-
tors for most connections such as to the Door Lock Motor wires, Hazard
light wires, and Trunk Release wire. And we recommend a PosiLock
connector when connecting to the Siren. Alternatively, you can use sol-
der, but test your connections and then securely cover with electrical
tape, heat shrink tubing and/or corrugated tubing.
•
Use only a DMM (digital multi-meter) to test leads or take voltage read-
ings. Do not use “test lights” or “logic probes” (“computer-safe test
lights” included) because they draw a large amount of electrical current
that could overload and destroy sensitive circuitry in the vehicle.
•
Manually turn off all lights (such as the dome light) that illuminate
when a hatch is opened so you will not run down the battery. If you can-
not manually turn off all the lights, then remove the appropriate fuses
and don’t forget to replace the fuses after your installation is complete.
•
Roll down a window to avoid locking the keys in the car.
•
If unsure, consult the vehicle owner about where the Status LED, Con-
trol Module, Siren, Antenna Unit, and Sensors should be mounted.
•
If you need a co12 volt power source under the dash, splice off
the wire leading to pin-16 (POWER) at back of the vehicle’s OBD plug.
OBD pin-16 supplies a co12V at up to 7A. Alternatively, run a
thick wire directly to the vehicle’s battery in the engine compartment.
•
When running extension wire, always use a wire gauge that is as big or
bigger than the wire you are extending.
