TheAPS-995RemoteStart/AlarmSystemisdesignedtobeusedwithAutomatic Transmission
Vehicles Only! The unit provides a selectable ignition control that allows a number of selectable timed
outputsfor glowplug pre-heatwhichmayberequiredforcertain dieselvehicles, (seeselectablefeature#9).
Ifthe dieselengine hasainstantfire,(no glowplugpre-heatsystem),feature #9should remaininthedefault
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 and an Automatic Transmission.
INSTALLATION OF THE MAJOR COMPONENTS:
CONTROLMODULE:
Selectamountinglocationinside 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
mainwiringharness.
Becertain thatthe chosenlocationwillnotinterfere withproperoperationofthe vehicle. Avoidmounting the
moduleto or routingthewiring around thesteeringshaft/column, as themoduleor wiringmaywraparound
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.
DoNotMountThe 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
downwardtopreventwaterretentionandtheflaredendmustbepointedawayfromandoutofthe 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,
scribeormarkthemountingholes. Drillthemarkedholesusing a 1/8" drill bit, then mount the siren using
#8 sheet metal screws.
HOODAND TRUNK PINSWITCHES:
The pin switches included in this package are intended for protecting the hood and trunk areas of the
vehicle. In all cases, the switch must be mounted to a grounded metal surface. When the pin switch is
activated,(hood/trunkopen), itwillsupplyagroundto the input wire activating the alarm. In addition, the
hoodswitchisrequiredforthesafety shut down of the remote start unit. If the vehicle is being worked on,
2

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 switches in the hood and trunk locations away from water drain paths. If necessary,
the included brackets 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 or trunk door to
depresstheswitchat least 1/4 inch when the hoodortrunkisclosed and fully extended when the hoodor
trunk is opened. For direct mounting, a 1/4 inch hole must be drilled. Carefully check behind the chosen
locationtoinsurethedrillwill not penetrate any existing factory wiring or fluid lines. Drill a 1/4" 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-
threadedmounting bracket hole.
DASHMOUNTEDLED:
Thesmall LED included in thekit willserveas a visualindicatorofthe alarm's status andprovideavisual
deterrentto apotentialthief. The LEDalsoprovides importantfeedback informationduringthe transmitter
and feature program modes. The LED should be installed in the dash in an area highly visible so that it
maybe seen fromthedriver's seat aswellasfrom outsidethevehicle. Inspectbehind the chosenlocation
to insure that the drill will not penetrate any existing factory wiring or fluid lines. Carefully drill a 1/4" hole
in the desired location and pass the connector end of the LED through the hole and toward the control
module. Press the LED firmly into place until it is fully seated in the mounting hole.
THERECEIVER/ANTENNAASSEMBLY:
The Superheterodyne Receiver Antenna Assembly provided with this unit allows routing from below the
dashboard formaximum operatingrange. Choosea locationabove thebeltline (dashboard)of thevehicle
for best reception. Special considerations must be made for windshield glass as some newer vehicles
utilize a metallic shielded window glass that will inhibit or restrict RF reception. In these vehicles, route
theantennatowardarearwindowlocationforbest reception. Secure the antenna with double stick tape
provided. Aftersecuringthe antenna with tape, we advisealsosecuringa section of the antenna cableto
afixed support. This willpreventthe antennafromdropping down incasethe doublesticktape is exposed
to extreme heat which may loosen it's gummed surface. Route the 3 pin connector toward the control
module using caution not to pinch the cable as this will cause poor or no RF reception to the control
module.
VALET/PROGRAM/MANUALOVERRIDE SWITCH:
Select a mounting location that is easily accessible to the operator of the vehicle. It is not necessary to
conceal the switch. However, concealment is recommended as it offers a higher level of security. The
switchcanbe mounted to the lower dashpanelinthe driver's area. Inspect behind the chosenlocationto
insurethat adequate clearanceisallowed for thebodyof the switchandalso that thedrillwill notpenetrate
any existing factory wiring or fluid lines. Drill a 9/32" hole in the desired location and mount the switch by
passingitthroughthe panel from the underside. Secure the switch using the nut,starwasher. Routethe
switch'sconnectortowardthecontrol module.
NOTE: During the program sequence, there are times when this switch and the ignition switch will be used
simultaneously. We recommend that the push-button switch be mounted on the left side of the ignition
switch to facilitate this operation.
CONTROLSWITCH:
Selectamountinglocationknown and accessible to the operator of the vehicle. A lower dash panel, kick
panel, or glove box is desirable. Inspect behind the chosen location to insure that adequate clearance is
allowedfor the bodyoftheswitch and alsothatthe drill willnotpenetrate any existingfactorywiring or fluid
lines. Drilla 1/4" holeinthe desired locationandmountthe switch bypassingit through thepanelfrom the
underside. Secure the switch using the nut, star washer, and on/off face plate. It is suggested that the
switch be orientated to allow the on position to be up toward the driver and the off position to be down or
awayfromthedriver. Route the switch's connector toward the control module.
3

SHOCKSENSOR:
Select a centrally located, solid mounting surface for the shock sensor that will allow consistent opera-
tionfromallareas of the vehicle. The selected location must be within 18"ofthecontrolmoduleto allow
routing and connecting of the 4 pin harness. Secure the shock sensor to the chosen location using two
#8 self tapping sheet metal screws. The sensor can also be secured to an existing dash brace using
cable tie straps. Whichever mounting method is used be sure to allow access to the sensitivity adjust-
ment potentiometer for use later in the installation.
STARTERINHIBIT RELAY:
Select a mounting location within 12" of the ignition switch's low current start solenoid wire. Secure the
relay to an existing harness in the chosen location using a cable tie around the relay's wiring harness.
CAUTION! Donot wire tiethemetalbracket to anexistingwiring harness asvibrationmay cause chafing
and shorting damaging the factory wiring. If an existing harness is not available then secure the relay's
metalmounting tab toanunder dash metalbracewith a#8selftapping sheetmetalscrew. Wire therelay
as per the diagram found later in this manual.
TheAPS-995isto be used in vehicles withAUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS only! Although this combi-
nation Alarm/Remote Start unit is a sophisticated system with many advanced features, IT MUST NOT
be installed into a vehicle with a manually operated transmission. Doing so may result in serious per-
sonalinjuryand property damage.

thisoutput wouldbeto disarmafactory theftdeterrentsystem topreventfalse triggering ofthe factory alarm
when the remote start unit engages or when the 775 is used to unlock the doors.
Black w/ Light Green Trace Wire: Pulsed Ground Output After Start
TheBlack w/LightGreen Tracewire willprovidea 1second300ma pulsedgroundoutput afterthe vehicleis
started under control of the remote start unit. Typically this wire will be used to re-lock the vehicle doors if
the doors unlock automatically when the factory anti-theft system is disarmed.
Black w/ Red Trace Wire: Pulsed Ground Output After Shutdown
TheBlack w/RedTracewirewill providea1 second300mApulsedground outputafterthe remotestart unit
shuts down. This output will occur regardless of whether the circuit times out or is manually terminated.
Typically this output will be used to re-lock the vehicle doors if the doors unlock automatically when the
ignition circuit transitions to off.
Black w/ Yellow Trace Wire: Ground Output During Start (Crank)
TheBlackw/Yellow Tracewire will provide a 300 mA ground output while the starter output of the remote
start unit is active. This output can be used to activate the Crank Low/Bulb Test wire found in some GM
vehicles. This wire is also referred to as the ECM wake up wire in some vehicles.
