Neutral Safety Negative
White/Blue Wire
This circuit is another critical safety feature which enables the EG-1800
ATV
's remote start operations. Connect the White/Blue wire to the vehicle's
Negative neutral safety wire. The target wire will show Negative Ground whenever the gear selector is in the "Park" or "Neutral" positions. Once the target
wire is located, securely connect the White/Blue wire to it.
Some vehicles, however, do not have a grounding-type neutral safety switch. These vehicles instead have the starter circuit routed through a switch
which closed only when the gear selector is in the "Park" or "Neutral" positions; in other gear positions the switch is open, thus preventing the starter from
engaging. When installing the EG-1800
ATV
in this type of vehicle, the White/Blue wire may be directly grounded, or connected to the parking brake warning
circuit. If the later option is chosen, ensure that the parking brake warning circuit is grounded when the parking brake is applied. An electrical schematic of
the vehicle or consulting Omega's vehicle wiring data base will save much time in determining the type of neutral safety circuit.
Regardless of the type of connection, the vehicle must be tested to ensure that it can not be remotely started while in forward or reverse gears.
Before returning the vehicle to the owner, place the vehicle in a parking lot or other open area. Sit in the driver's seat and be ready to apply the brake, if
needed. Engage the remote starter in each gear position. If this safety feature is operating properly, remote starting will only be possible if the gear selector
is the "Park" or "Neutral" positions; in all other positions the EG-1800
ATV
will instead respond with one long and one short siren chirp and the starter will not
engage. Never fail to perform this test! If a fault is found in the neutral safety operation, it must be corrected before returning the vehicle to the owner. If
the vehicle in question lacks a neutral safety circuit, one must be fitted before installing any type of remote starting system.
Brake Positive
Red/Black Wire
The Red/Black wire must be connected. It is a critical safety feature which disables the EG-1800
ATV
's remote start operations whenever the brake pedal
is pressed. Connect the Red/Black wire to the brake switch wire which shows Positive 12 Volts when the brake pedal is pressed. The brake switch is typically
located above the brake pedal, and usually mounted to the brake pedal support bracket. Always make this connection in a fashion ensuring its long-term
reliability; soldering is highly recommended.
Upon completing the Red/Black wire's connection, thoroughly test the operation of this circuit. Attempt to remotely start the vehicle while holding the
brake pedal depressed; the EG-1800
ATV
should respond with one long and four short siren chirps. Release the brake pedal and remotely start the engine. Once
running, pressing the brake pedal should stop the engine. Always perform this test before proceeding to the next safety circuit test, the neutral safety
input.
