B. WIRING THE ALARM

POWER WIRE(RED)

This can be attached to your fuse box, interior light fuse, or directly onto the      
POSITIVE terminal of your car battery.

Connecting to fuse box.

Locate  the  fuse  box.  From  your  car  Owner’s  Manual  identify  the  fuse  that 
operates the interior light. Attach the bare end of the red wire to this fuse - this 
may require use of a connector suitable for use on your vehicle such as a spade 
or “Scotchlock” connector. If the fuse box is inside the passenger compartment, 
locate an access hole into the car and pass the wire through this hole and then 
connect to the fuse box. If no access hole can be found then you will need to drill 
your own access hole, but you will need to be careful where you drill.

Connecting direct to car battery.

Run the wire around the engine, making sure it is firmly attached to the car. 
Securely  attach  to  the  POSITIVE  terminal  of  the  car  battery,  again  using  a 
suitable connector.
NB: When both the black and red wires are connected the alarm will”chirp”. This 
is normal and shows the circuit is completed.

AERIAL WIRE(BLUE)

This wire should not be cut. Stretch the wire out and lay it flat around the 
engine compartment, avoiding hot areas.Secure the wire to the car by 
adhesive tape, or other non-corrosive means.
