FO3 - 7 seconds: This option offers a fixed 7 second delay before providing starter output.
FO4 - GM Ignition delay: This option is designed to delay the ignition output 250mS during the
remote start procedure. This allows for the accessory to output first, then ignition, to simulate normal
key starting. There are some vehicle models that may require this additional delay in order for it to
remote start properly.
2-04 Trigger Start: This feature changes the number of pulsed inputs (min of 60mS per pulse) required to
activate the remote start sequence using the trigger start input wire. (900AS Pink wire/CM900S RED
wire, pin 11, CN3). Note: If option 4 is selected and OEM remote control feature is available
through data, the Control Module will accept 3 OEM lock commands to activate the start sequence.
FO1 - Off: (default)
FO2 - Single pulse: This option will trigger the remote start sequence with a single pulsed input to the
trigger start wire. This is ideal when adding accessories that can trigger the CM900.
FO3 - Double pulse: This option will trigger the remote start sequence with 2 pulses to the trigger start
input wire. This can be used when integrating with an OEM keyless entry remote.
FO4 - Triple pulse: This option will trigger the start sequence with 3 pulses to the trigger start input
wire. This is ideal when trying to integrate the OEM keyless entry remote. Note: this option will also
allow the CM900 to accept a 3-pulse input from OEM remote commands through data.
2-05 Cold or Hot Start: Note: the Firstech thermistor temp sensor must be connected to the CM900 in
order to use these options. This feature turns on the cold/hot Timer start features.
FO1 - Off: (default)
FO2 - Cold start: This option enables the thermistor when using Timer Start Mode. It will start the car
at the preset cold temperature (see feature 2-08) according to the selected timer start option (see feature
2-06)
FO3 - Hot Start: This option enables the thermistor when using Timer Start Mode. It will start the car
at the preset hot temperature (see feature 2-09) according to the selected timer start option. (see feature
2-06)
FO4 - Cold and Hot start: This option enables the thermistor when using Timer Start Mode. It will start
the car at the preset Cold and Hot temperature (see features 2-08 and 2-09) according to the selected
timer start option (see feature 2-06)
2-06 Timer Start: This feature is designed to allow the user to have the CM900 automatically remote start
at the end of a selected timed cycle. It also be controlled by the thermistor, or a selected time by 2 way
remote, so it will start at a specified temperature at the end of the timed cycle or a specific time.
FO1 - 3-hour cycle: (4-minute runtime, 8-minute runtime for diesel) Once Timer Mode is enabled (see
feature 2-13) the CM900 will wait 3 hours, remote start and run for 4 minutes unless the cold start
feature is enabled. If this is the case, the CM900 will check the temperature once every 3 hours. If it is
at or below the selected temperature, (see feature 2-08) it will start and run for 4 minutes.
The same procedure will apply to the hot start feature. If there is any interaction with the CM900 after
timer mode has been activated using the Firstech remote or accessory, timer mode will be cancelled and
must be re-started to start a new timed cycle.
