AFTER THE INSTALLATION
■
Test all functions. The “Using Your System” section of the Owner’s Guide is very helpful when testing.
■
When testing, don’t forget that this system is equipped with Nuisance Prevention Circuitry (NPC). This cir-
cuitry can bypass both instant trigger zones, making them appear to stop working.
■
Carefully reassemble the under-dash trim panels.
■
Inspect the engine compartment for tools that may have been left behind.

security system in most vehicles.
Some vehicles may require additional tools.
deciding on component locations
Some things to remember when mounting the siren:
■
Keep it away from heat sources. Radiators, exhaust manifolds, turbochargers, and heat shields are all things
to avoid.
■
Mount it where a thief cannot easily disconnect it, whether the hood is open or shut. Both the siren and its
wires should be difficult to find. This usually involves disguising the wire to look like a factory harness.
■
We recommend against grounding the siren to its mounting screws. Instead, we recommend running both the
red and black wires into the passenger compartment and grounding to one common point for all devices. Af-
ter all, both wires are the same length and already come bonded together. Whenever possible, conceal your
wires in the factory harnesses or in the same style loom as the factory.
■
When possible, put the siren on the same side of the vehicle as the control module, where its wires will reach
the control module’s wires without extending them. Always run the wires through the center of a grommet,
never through bare metal!
