When installing the 1460B (backup siren), we strongly suggest you
avoid connecting the siren’s RED wire in parallel with the Power wire
of the 1460. For example, if you splice Power off the OBD plug for the
1460 control unit and for the backup siren, the siren may cause a volt-
age drop malfunction in the alarm system. We recommend you connect
the siren’s RED wire directly to the car’s battery.
1460B NOTE
Unlike the 1460 control module and sensors, the Siren is to be mounted
within the engine compartment. That means you must run a wire through
a rubber grommet in the firewall to connect the 1460 control module’s
Brown Siren Output wire to the siren. Avoid mounting the siren in places
where water can pool or constantly fall on the siren.
LOCATION
As is true with all batteries, the battery inside the 1460B’s backup siren
has a finite life. Life varies based on the installed environment. Typical
life in the engine compartment is 3 years, under a constant trickle charge
of 5.5mA. The battery is warrantied for 1 year. You cannot replace the
battery, but the siren will continue to operate even after the battery is dead
(you simply will lose the backup function).
BACKUP BATTERY
The 1460B comes with a Battery Backup Siren and two
siren keys. At the factory, the siren is Disabled so it will
not make any sound until you Enable it by switching the
keylock to the GREEN dot position, as shown at right.
Keep the siren Disabled until you have made all your con
-
nections, otherwise the siren may trigger.
Be sure to keep your keys in two separate safe places. You cannot order
replacements! You will need a key if the siren goes off for some reason and
you cannot shut it off by normal means (e.g., via Unlock with the remote).
