9. Diesel Wait-to-Start Mode. Selects between
the 10 second countdown timer for diesel
vehicles without a glow plug wire, or between
glow plug wire monitoring for vehicles with a
wait-to-start indicator light.
REMOTE START DIP SWITCHES
1. Tachless Mode Crank Time. OFF= standard
(0.8 seconds) crank time. ON= extended (1.8
seconds) crank time for the tachless operation
mode. Not used when RPM monitoring with
tach wire is connected.
2. Engine Start Sense. OFF= Tach Start for
actual RPM monitored starting. ON= Smart
Start for tachless operation.
3. Ignition 2 Relay Program. OFF= Ignition 2
operation. ON= Accessory 2 operation. In
accessory 2 mode the output will not turn on
until after engine cranking.
4. Transmission Mode. OFF= automatic
transmission. ON= manual transmission.
5. Gas/Diesel Mode. Sets the crank delay after
ignition turns on. OFF= gasoline engine. ON=
diesel engine.

6. RPM Signal LED. ON= Turns on the RPM
LED for tach wire locating/testing.
REMOTE START NOTES
Smart Start and Tach Start
In order for the system to properly start and
run the vehicle, the unit must be able to
determine if the engine is cranking or if the
engine is actually running. This system is
equipped with two means of detecting the
engine’s run status: Smart Start and Tach Start.
The
Smart Start
feature detects the engine’s run
status using specially designed software that
interprets certain characteristics of the engine,
without connection to the vehicle’s tachometer
wire.This feature allows a faster installation, but
may not be compatible with all vehicles, or
under extreme temperatures.
The
Tach Start
feature requires connection the
the vehicle’s tachometer wire, or an injector
wire if the tach wire is not available. The Tach
Start provides reliable operation with virtually
any vehicle, even under extreme temperatures.
Tach Wire Locator
To aid in the locating and testing of a suitable
tach wire, the start module is equipped with a
LED that flashes to indicate presence of a RPM
signal. To use this tach locator, set dip switch #6
to On and be sure dip switch #2 is set for RPM
(Off). With the engine running, probe the
suspected tach wire with the Gray/Black wire
(tach input). The LED will begin flashing if the
Gray/Black wire is reading a proper tach signal.
If the LED does not flash, continue testing
suspected tach wires until the correct wire is
found. After the proper tach wire is located
and all start module connections have been
made, test the remote start by pressing the
engine start button on the module located next
to the RPM signal LED. If the engine starts and
runs properly, press the button again to stop
the engine.
Gas and Diesel Modes
The default setting for the engine mode is
Gas
Engine
. For diesel vehicles, the engine type for
dip switch #5 must be set to
Diesel Engine
.
When programmed for diesel engines, the
Orange/Violet wire (glow plug input) is
monitored to make sure the glow plugs have
warmed up before the engine begins cranking. If
the glow plug wire is not connected, the unit
has a built-in timer that waits 10 seconds
before cranking the starter.
