MAKING RELIABLE CONNECTIONS
All connections in the engine bay area must be made by using either solder-joints
or good quality
crimp termination’s
.
Warning:
The use of Insulation Displacement Connectors (idc,s) such as scotch
locks is not recommended in the engine bay area. The use of IDCs in
this area may result in the alarm failing to operate correctly or cause
false alarms.
IDC connectors can by used inside the vehicle interior but you must follow the
instructions below to ensure a reliable connection.
USING IDC CONNECTORS
1)
Place the wires in position as shown in the Fig. 1 and hold in place whilst
firmly pressing in the metal insert with pliers.
The metal insert will then
automatically strip the insulation from both wires at the point of contact.
2)
Close the locking tab to hold the connector together as in Fig. 2.
3)
Ensure that the vehicle wire and alarm wire is positioned where they cannot
be snagged by vehicle controls or the drivers and passengers feet.
MOUNTING THE MAIN ALARM MODULE
Locate a mounting position for the alarm in the vehicle engine compartment close to
the front of the vehicle and in a position where it is difficult to again access to the
alarm wiring from below the car.
Ensure that the alarm is located away from extreme heat, areas subject to water and
at least 12” from the ignition system. (Use silicone sealant enclosed when refitting
boot).
Using the alarm bracket as template, drill 2 holes and secure the bracket to the car
body-work using the self tapping screws provided, making sure the alarm bracket is
solidly mounted. Check behind any panels for hidden pipes or wiring before
drilling holes.
Secure the alarm to the bracket using the small bolts supplied
making sure that front face of the alarm is kept vertical to ensure effective operation
of the shock sensor.
