RED WIRE-POWER SUPPLY CURRENT
SENSING
NOTE: The Current Sensing feature will only operate if
Selection Switch No. 1 is in the ON position. (This
is located on the rear of the Alarm).
It is also important that the BLUE Door Wire is
connected and that the Valet Key Switch is in the
Enable position before attempting to connect the RED
wire.
The SRA8 is triggered by the operation of the interior light
or any electrical circuit on the vehicle. This is detected by
the RED power supply wire. The trigger sensitivity will vary
from vehicle to vehicle depending on size and age of the
car battery and the rating of the interior light bulb.
As a
general principle the sensitivity will increase the further from
the battery the main supply connection is made.
For
reliable operation the interior light should be rated at
10watts minimum. To determine the best connection point
a simple test procedure should be followed as below.
1.
Temporarily connect the RED wire to the battery
POSITIVE terminal.
2.
Close all doors, boot and bonnet then arm the alarm
with the remote control.
3.
Wait at least 20 seconds then open any door.
4.
If the alarm triggers you can make the connection to
the battery positive terminal permanent.
5.
If the alarm fails to trigger during step 3 disconnect
from the battery and route the RED alarm wire to the
fuse box and repeat the test using permanent live at
the fuse box, following steps 2 and 3 as above.
6.
When the test is successful make your connection permanent
