feature descriptions
The features of the system are described below.
1 ENGINE CHECK—ON
/OFF
:
In the default setting the remote engine start will monitor either the vehicle's tach
wire or voltage depending on the programming of Feature 2. If programmed off, the vehicle will crank for the pro-
grammed crank time (Feature 5) and will not verify with tach or voltage that the vehicle is running. In the off
setting, if the vehicle fails to start, the ignition can stay on for the entire run duration. Using tach or voltage
check is always recommended if possible.
2 TACH WIRE SENSE
/VOLTAGE SENSE
:
If the tachometer signal wire is used, this feature must be left in the default
(tach wire connected) setting. If programmed to the voltage sense setting, the unit will crank the starter for a
preset time that can be programmed in Feature 5. Once the starter has been engaged, the system will check the
voltage level to verify the engine is running. The threshold for the voltage level test can be programmed in
Feature 6. When using voltage sense mode, connection of the H2/5 VIOLET/ WHITE tachometer input is not necessary.
3 RUN TIME—12
/24/60
MINUTES:
This feature controls how long the engine will run before it “times out” and
shuts down. Programmed to the default setting the engine will run for 12 minutes. If the 24 or 60 minute run
time is desired, change this feature to the two or three flash setting.
4 PARKING LIGHTS—FLASHING
/CONSTANT
:
In the default setting, the unit will flash the vehicle’s parking lights
while remote engine started. The constant setting will turn the parking lights on solidly for the entire run dura-
tion.
5 CRANK TIME—0.6
/0.8/1.0/1.2/1.4/1.6/1.8/2.0/4.0
SECONDS:
If Feature 2 is programmed to the voltage
sense setting, the crank time must be set to the appropriate duration. The default setting is 0.6 second. If a dif-
ferent crank time is desired, select Feature 5 and (while pressing the Program switch) press the Channel Two
button to advance through the LED Off settings. The unit will flash the LED to indicate which time is selected.
Once the 4.0 second setting is reached the next press of the Channel Two button will reset the system to the
shortest setting.
6 VOLTAGE CHECK LEVEL—HIGH
/LOW
:
This feature only functions when Feature 2 is programmed to voltage
sense. Some vehicles have many accessories, which are turned on when remote engine started. In these vehicles,
the variation of voltage between the engine off and the vehicle running is very slight and the remote engine start
unit may “think” the vehicle has not started. This can cause the remote engine start to shut down after the
vehicle has been started. If this is the case, program this feature to the LOW position.
7 SHORT RUN (TURBO TIMER)—1
/3/5/10
MINUTES:
When the
and
buttons on the transmitter are
pressed simultaneously while the engine is running, the vehicle will continue to run for the short run time. The
factory default is 1 minute.
