Red Wire - (+12 Volts Input): This is the second of two wires in which connection
is required for the system to operate. The Red wire's function is to supply Constant
+12 Volts to the security system. As noted on the previous page, when +12 Volts
is first applied to the Red wire, the system will automatically enter Transmitter
Programming Mode. The Red wire also su12 Volts to the built-in relay for
flashing the parking lights.
CONNECTION: Connect the Red wire to a source which has +12 Volts at all times.
Ensure that this 12 Volts which is stable in all ignition key positions. There
are several possible connection points in the engine compartment, where the
Freedom-400 is designed to be mounted. Connection may be made at an engine
compartment fuse/junction block (preferred) or at the battery itself. Most fuse/
junction blocks typically have power takeoffs, or open locations that can be
connected to with the proper terminal. Please note that connecting the Red wire
directly to the battery's Positive terminal will expose this connection to failure due
to a corrosive environment, so preventative steps should be taken, such as
coating the connection itself with White Lithium Grease or other protective
compound. The source used must have at least a 15 Amp capacity at all times.
Blue Wire - (- Ground Instant Trigger Input): The Blue wire, while not necessary
for the Freedom-400’s basic operation, greatly increases the system’s effective-
ness. This wire is a “- Ground instant trigger” used to detect entry into the hood
