This Remote Start/Alarm System is designed to be used with
Automatic Transmission
Vehicles Only!
The unit provides a selectable ignition control that allows a number of selectable timed outputs for
glow plug pre-heat which may be required for certain diesel vehicles, (see selectable feature #9)
. If the diesel
engine has a instant fire, (no glow plug pre-heat system), feature #9 should remain in the default Gasoline
mode setting. For diesel applications, consult your dealer for the type of ignition system used in your particu-
lar vehicle. Regardless of the vehicle, Gasoline or Diesel, for every installation, the vehicle
MUST HAVE a
Tach Signal Input, and an Automatic Transmission.
INSTALLATION OF THE MAJOR COMPONENTS:
CONTROL MODULE:
Select a mounting location inside the passenger compartment (up behind the dashboard). The mounting
location selected must be within 24" of the ignition switch wiring harness to allow connection of the 6 pin
main wiring harness.
Be certain that the chosen location will not interfere with proper operation of the vehicle. Avoid mounting the
module to or routing the wiring around the steering shaft/column, as the module or wiring may wrap around
or block the steering wheel preventing proper control of the vehicle. Secure the module in the chosen
location using cable ties or screws as necessary.
Do Not Mount The Module In The Engine Compartment, as it is not waterproof.
SIREN:
Select a location in the engine compartment that is not accessible from below the vehicle. The selected
location must be clear of hot or moving parts within the engine compartment The siren must be pointed
downward to prevent water retention and the flared end must be pointed away from and out of the engine
compartment for maximum sound distribution. Before securing the siren, check behind your chosen loca-
tion to assure that the mounting screws will not penetrate any factory wiring or fluid lines. Secure the siren
mounting bracket using #8 self taping screws or by first using the mounting bracket as a template, scribe or
mark the mounting holes. Drill the marked holes using a 1/8" drill bit, then mount the siren using #8 sheet
metal screws.
HOOD AND TRUNK PIN SWITCHES:
The pin switches included in this package are intended for protecting the hood and trunk areas of the
vehicle. In all cases, the switch must be mounted to a grounded metal surface. When the pin switch is
activated, (hood/trunk open), it will supply a ground to the input wire activating the alarm. In addition, the
hood switch is required for the safety shut down of the remote start unit. If the vehicle is being worked on,
this hood switch prevents the remote start activation even if the RF command to start is issued. This switch
must be installed in all applications Failure to do so may result in personal injury or property damage. Mount
the switches in the hood and trunk locations away from water drain paths. If necessary, the included
brackets may be used to move the switch away from rain gutters or allow mounting to the firewall behind the
hood seal. In both cases the switch must be set up to allow the hood or trunk door to depress the switch at
least 1/4 inch when the hood or trunk is closed and fully extended when the hood or trunk is opened. For
direct mounting, a 1/4 inch hole must be drilled. Carefully check behind the chosen location to insure the
drill will not penetrate any existing factory wiring or fluid lines. Drill a 1/4" hole in the desired location and
thread the pin switch into it using a 7/16" nut driver or deep well socket. If using the mounting bracket, first
secure the bracket to the desired location and secure the pin switch in the pre-threaded mounting bracket
hole.
DASH MOUNTED LED:
The small Red LED included in the kit will serve as a visual indicator of the alarm's status and provide a
visual deterrent to a potential thief. The LED also provides important feed back information during the
transmitter and feature program modes. The LED should be installed in the dash in an area highly visible
so that it may be seen from the driver's seat as well as from outside the vehicle. Inspect behind the chosen
location to insure that the drill will not penetrate any existing factory wiring or fluid lines. Carefully drill a 1/4"
hole in the desired location and pass the connector end of the LED through the hole and toward the control
module. Press the LED firmly into place until it is fully seated in the mounting hole.
