deciding on component locations
Some things to remember when mounting the siren:
■
Mount the siren with screws, taking care that the screws do not come in contact with any wire harnesses or
fluid lines.
■
Keep it away from heat sources. Radiators, exhaust manifolds, turbochargers, and heat shields are all loca-
tions to avoid.
■
Mount it where a thief cannot easily disconnect it. Both the siren and its wires should be difficult to find.
This usually involves disguising the wire to look like a factory harness.
■
Point the siren down so water does not collect in it.
■
When installing this system in watercraft, the siren must be mounted in a compartment that does not take
in water.
Some things to remember when mounting the control module:
■
Mount the control module with the screws or with zip ties.
■
When locating the control module, keep it away from any heat sources or obvious leaks. Also keep the com-
ponents and harnesses as far from the exhaust system as possible.
■
The higher the control module is mounted, the better the transmitter range will be.
■
When installing this system in watercraft, the control module must be mounted in a compartment that does
not take in water.
The switch should be well hidden. It should be placed so passengers or stored items (such as near a luggage
carrier or saddlebags) cannot accidentally hit it. The switch fits in a
9
/
32
-inch hole.
IMPORTANT!
When the vehicle is delivered, please show the user where the switch is located and
how to disarm the system with it.
Things to remember when positioning the Status LED:
■
It should be visible from both sides and the rear of the vehicle, if possible.
■
It needs at least
1
/
2
-inch clearance to the rear.
■
The LED fits in a
9
/
32
-inch hole.
