Instead of using a pin switch to monitor the hood’s open or shut status, an
Omega
AU-46 Mercury Tilt Switch may used. Connect one of the AU-46’s wires to Nega-
22-Gauge
Orange/Black Wire:
Engine Detect Input
Connection Required.
The Orange/Black wire is the engine detect wire.
The RS unit utilizes two different methods of monitoring the vehicle during the
remote starting process. Consider both methods before deciding which one to
use. Normally the Smart Start method is used, especially for diesel engine ap-
plications in which the vehicle has no true tach signal available. An adjustment
control and LED indicator for each method are on the side of the unit’s case.
