Channel 3 Relay Wiring Detail

Green w/ Black Trace Wire:  

300mA  Latched Channel 4 Output

The Green w/ Black Trace wire supplies a  300 mA switched output whenever channel four of the receiver
is accessed.  Pressing the pre-programmed transmitter button(s) will access channel four and will remain
active, for up to 20 seconds, as long as the transmitter button(s) is held.  This is a low current output and
must be connected to a relay to supply power to the device you intend to control.  Connect Green w/ Black
Trace wire to terminal #86 of a VF45F11 P&B relay or equivalent.  Connect terminal #85 of the relay to a
fused + 12 volt source.  Connect the common, normally open, and normally closed contacts of the relay to
perform the selected function of the channel 4 output.

NOTE: 

 This wire also can be used for defrost activation as dictated by the setting of feature # 1 of Bank 3.

Anytime the vehicle is running under control of the Remote Start and Channel 4 is activated, then depen-
dent on the selection of this feature, Green/Black will be activated as a pulse for 1 second, or for 10
minutes.  Note this wire will not operate when the vehicle is running under the power of the ignition key,
only while under the control of the remote start or if not used for defrost then an output will occur as
indicated above.

Dark Blue/Black Trace Wire:

 External Trigger Input

The Dark Blue/Black trace wire allows the remote start unit to be activated from an external source.  The
intent of this wire is to allow the unit to be controlled from a "POSSE/CAR-LINK" paging system or similar
device.  When this wire receives a ground pulse, the unit will start the vehicle. Connect this wire to a ground
pulsed output from the controlling circuit.

Black w/ White Trace Wire :

 300 mA Horn Output

The black w/ white trace wire is provided to beep the vehicle’s horn. This is a transistorized low current
output, and should only be connected to the low current ground output from the vehicle’s horn switch.
If the vehicle uses a + 12 VDC horn switch, then connect the black w/ white trace wire to terminal 86 of the
AS 9256 relay ( or an equivalent 30 Amp automotive relay ), and connect relay terminal 85 to a fused
+ 12 VDC battery source. Connect relay terminal 87 to the vehicle’s horn switch output, and connect relay
terminal 30 to a fused + 12 VDC battery source.

White w/ Blue Trace Wire: 

Low Current (-) Ground Headlight Output

The White w/ Blue Trace wire is provided to operate the optional headlamp illumination feature of the
system.  This is a low current (300mA) output and must be connected to an external relay to control the
high current switching circuit of the vehicle's headlamps.  To use this option, connect the White /w Blue
Trace wire to terminal # 86 of a P&B VF45F11 relay or equivalent.  Connect Terminals #85 and # 30 to a
fused + 12 Volts source with a current capability equal to or in excess of the factory headlamp fuse.
Connect terminal # 87 of the relay to the sw 12 volt wire feeding the vehicle's headlamp circuit.

NOTE: 

 For ground switched headlamp circuits,  Connect the White /w Blue Trace wire to terminal # 86 of

a P&B VF45F11 relay or equivalent.  Connect Terminal #85  to a fused + 12 Volts source. Connect terminal
# 30 to a clean chassis ground. 

 

Connect terminal # 87 to the ground switched headlamp control wire in the

vehicle.

Orange w/ White Trace Wire :

 300 mA Ground Output When Disarmed - N. O. Starter Disable

(Optional Relay Required).

This wire is provided to control the starter cut relay. Connect the orange w/white wire to terminal 86 of the
relay. Connect relay terminal 85 to an ignition wire in the vehicle that is live when the key is in the on and
crank positions, and off when the key is in the off position. ( This is typically where the yellow, (ignition),
wire of an alarm would be connected ).  Cut the low current starter solenoid wire in the vehicle, and connect
one side of the cut wire to relay terminal 87. Connect the other side of the cut wire to relay terminal 30.
