VALET AND EMERGENCY OVERRIDE SWITCHES
This system provides individual inputs for two switches, a valet switch and a manual override switch. Moving these two functions to
separate switches provides an even higher level of security.
UNDERSTANDING DISARM #1 AND #2:
Because of the complexities of the different factory Remote Keyless Entry Units on the market today, the APS-30 uses (2) disarm inputs.
In all installations, whether installing with a 2 step unlock circuit, single step unlock circuit, or a stand alone passive alarm,
both of these
wires must be connected.
The following logic chart will help to demonstrate how these disarm inputs work. As shown in the chart, the APS-30 will disarm only
when Disarm inputs #1 and #2 are at opposing polarities.
In addition, when Dip Switch #2 is set to the ON position (1 WIRE DISARM), the alarm will not disarm while it is triggered. In vehicles
with the single step unlock circuits, it is always best to set Dip Switch #2 to the OFF position (2 wire disarm), and wire according to the
Audiovox Tech Tips #22 and #23.
A small red L.E.D. is included that will serve as a visual indicator of the alarm status. It should be installed into the dashboard, located
where it is easily seen from outside the vehicle, yet not distracting to the driver.
Once a location has been selected, check behind the panel for wire routing access, and to confirm the drill will not damage any existing
components as it passes through the panel.
Drill a 1/4 " diameter hole, and pass the red and blue wires from the L.E.D. through the hole, from the front of the panel. Firmly press
the body of the L.E.D. into the hole until fully seated.
VALET SWITCH
Select a mounting location for the valet switch, that is easily accessible to the driver of the vehicle.
The switch does not have to be concealed since it will in no way disarm the system from the armed or triggered state. The valet switch
may be mounted below or on the dashboard by drilling a 9/32 " diameter hole in the selected location. Before drilling, be sure to check
the area behind the panel for adequate clearance for the body of the switch, and to be sure that the drill will not damage any components
as it passes through the panel.
MANUAL OVERRIDE SWITCH
Select a mounting location for the manual override switch, that is concealed, and does not necessarily have to be within reach of the driver.
A secure location is in the trunk of the vehicle, since pressing this switch will activate a timer, which will then give the driver 12 seconds
to turn the ignition key to the " ON " position.
The manual override switch may be mounted by drilling a 1/4 " diameter hole in the selected location. Before drilling, be sure to check
the area behind the panel for adequate clearance for the body of the switch, and to be sure that the drill will not damage any components
as it passes through the panel.
SIREN
Select a mounting location in the engine compartment that is well protected from access below the vehicle. Avoid areas near high heat
components or moving parts within the engine compartment. To prevent water retention, the flared end of the siren must be pointed
downward when mounted.
Mount the siren to the selected location using the screws and bracket provided.
