MOUNTING SYSTEM COMPONENTS
The Control Module is “the brain” of the system and therefore must be
installed in a secure location under the dash. NEVER install the Control
Module in the engine compartment or near any source of heat or moisture!
NEVER place the Control Module near moving parts or in a location where
it can vibrate or move around excessively.
Locations above or behind the glove box, behind the radio or high up under
the dash (such as above the fuse box) are all good mounting places. Howev-
er, you may need to extend wires if your chosen location is too far from the
steering column.
If you extend wires, always use the same or larger gauge
wire! Solder all connections (never use splice clips) and cover with electri-
cal tape or heat shrink tubing or corrugate tube.
Mount the control module
to a secure, flat surface or use wire ties to affix to a factory wire harness.
Control Module
The shock sensor is not waterproof so only mount it inside the cabin . Use
the included double-sided tape and mount the sensor to the inside of the
plastic cover that surrounds the steering column. NEVER use screws or
wire ties to mount the sensor! You can also mount to the outside of an air
duct, to the inside of a trim panel. But ALWAYS mount to
plastic
, not to
metal! Mounting the sensor to the metal body of the car will cause sensi-
tivity to become poor.
Make an effort to test the sensor in your preferred
mounting location prior to permanently attaching it with the 2-sided tape.
Shock Sensor
IMPORTANT!
Always mount the 318-052 shock sensor more than
30cm (1ft.) away from the main module of the optional 318-04 Ultrasonic
Sensor. Keep the shock sensor and shock sensor wires more than 30cm
away from high power antennas in the vehicle. Failure to do so may
cause the shock sensor to randomly false trigger the siren.
IMPORTANT!
When considering an appropriate mounting location,
keep in mind that most thieves hot-wire vehicles by removing the plastic
panel just under the steering column.
