This Remote Start/Alarm System is designed to be used with
Automatic Transmission- Fuel Injection
Vehicles Only!
The unit provides a selectable ignition control that allows a number of selectable timed
outputs for glow plug preheat in addition to a "Wait To Start Input" either of which may be required for
certain diesel vehicles, (see selectable feature #11 Bank 3 & or Green/Yellow Wire). If the diesel engine
has a instant fire, (no glow plug preheat system), feature #11 of Bank 3 should remain in the default
Gasoline mode setting. For diesel applications, consult your dealer for the type of ignition system used in
your particular vehicle. Regardless of the vehicle, Gasoline or Diesel, for every installation, the vehicle
MUST HAVE a Tach Signal Input, Automatic Transmission and Fuel Injection.
INSTALLATION OF THE MAJOR COMPONENTS:
CONTROL MODULE:
Select a mounting location inside the passenger compartment (up behind the dashboard). The mounting
location selected must be within 24" of the ignition switch wiring harness to allow connection of the 6 pin
main wiring harness.
Be certain that the chosen location will not interfere with proper operation of the vehicle. Avoid mounting
the module to or routing the wiring around the steering shaft/column, as the module or wiring may wrap
around or block the steering wheel preventing proper control of the vehicle. Secure the module in the
chosen location using cable ties or screws as necessary.
Do Not Mount The Module In The Engine Compartment
, as it is not waterproof.
SIREN:
Select a location in the engine compartment that is not accessible from below the vehicle. The selected
location must be clear of hot or moving parts within the engine compartment The siren must be pointed
downward to prevent water retention and the flared end must be pointed away from and out of the engine
compartment for maximum sound distribution. Before securing the siren, check behind your chosen
location to assure that the mounting screws will not penetrate any factory wiring or fluid lines. Secure the
siren mounting bracket using #8 self taping screws or by first using the mounting bracket as a template,
scribe or mark the mounting holes. Drill the marked holes using a 1/8" drill bit, then mount the siren using
#8 sheet metal screws.
HOOD PIN SWITCH:
The pin switch included in this package is intended for protecting the hood area of the vehicle. In all cases,
the switch must be mounted to a grounded metal surface. When the pin switch is activated, (hood open),
it will supply a ground to the input wire activating the alarm. In addition, the hood switch is required for the
safety shut down of the remote start unit. If the vehicle is being worked on, this hood switch prevents the
remote start activation even if the RF command to start is issued.
This switch must be installed in all
applications. Failure to do so may result in personal injury or property damage.
Mount the switch
in a location away from water drain paths. If necessary, an optional bracket may be used to move the
switch away from rain gutters or allow mounting to the firewall behind the hood seal. In both cases the
switch must be set up to allow the hood to depress the switch at least 1/4 inch when the hood is closed
and fully extended when the hood is opened. For direct mounting, a 1/4 inch hole must be drilled. Carefully
check behind the chosen location to insure the drill will not penetrate any existing factory wiring or fluid
lines.
Drill a 1/4 inch hole in the desired location and thread the pin switch into it using a 7/16" nut driver or deep
well socket. If using the mounting bracket, first secure the bracket to the desired location and secure the
pin switch in the pre-threaded mounting bracket hole.
