When you probe /test the wires of a harness,
make sure you check the plug-in connector.

Programmable Features
The unit was designed with flexibility and OEM integration in mind. The system gives installers the output
flexibility that every good installer is looking for; this unit can be customized and used for almost every possible
application.
With the integration of timed latched and ON / OFF outputs, this unit can single-handedly control virtually any
electrical system in the car.
The programmable features are as follows:
1.
Siren or OEM Horn Output
•
The system can be programmed either to control the OEM horn or to command an external high-power
siren.
2.
Siren / Horn Chirp Timing
•
This feature allows you to configure the duration of the horn/siren chirps generated by the system. The
horn/siren chirp duration can be set to any length between 10 ms and 250 ms.
3.
Ignition-Controlled Door Locks
•
OFF by default. This feature will
LOCK
all the Doors of the vehicle while the Ignition Key is in the
IGNITION
ON (RUN)
position and only when all the doors are closed (there is no recurrence of this action). The unit
will
UNLOCK
all Doors when the Ignition Key is turned back to the
OFF
position.
•
If
Ignition Lock Only
is selected, the system will only
LOCK
all Doors while the Ignition Key is in the
IGNITION ON (RUN)
position and only when all the doors are closed (there is no recurrence of this action).
•
If option
Ignition Unlock Only
is selected, the system will
UNLOCK
all Doors when the key is turned to
the
OFF
position (provided that the Ignition key was in the
IGNITION ON (RUN)
position).
4.
Passive or Active Arming
•
(Passive with a 1-min. time out by default.) The alarm system on this unit can be set to active mode (in
which it will not arm itself automatically) or to passive mode (arms itself automatically) with a 1-minute
timeout.
5.
Door Lock Pulse Duration
•
(¾-sec. lock and ¾-sec. unlock pulses by default.) This system can be programmed to give either 3.5-
sec. lock /unlock pulses (this is used to control vacuum door-lock system, for instance on Mercedes) or a
single ¾ -sec. lock pulse with a double ¼-sec. unlock pulse (this is used for double-pulse disarm/unlock
systems, as in the Maxima, Pathfinder, and Volkswagen…)
6.
Relock
•
If you unlock the doors with the remote transmitter, but do not open any door or trunk within 60 seconds,
the doors will automatically relock.
