INSTALLATION OF MAJOR COMPONENTS
Control Module:
Select a mounting location inside the passenger compartment ( up behind the dash ), and secure using
the two screws provided. The control module can also be secured in place using cable ties.
Do not mountthecontrolmoduleintheengine compartment,asitisnot waterproof.Youshouldalsoavoid
mountingtheunitdirectly onto factory installedelectroniccomponents.These components may causeRF
interference,which can resultin poor transmitter range orintermittent operation.
Siren:
Select a mounting location in the engine compartment that is well protected from access below the
vehicle.Avoidareasnearhighheatcomponentsormovingpartswithintheenginecompartment.Toprevent
waterretention, the frontor sounding endof the sirenmust be pointeddownward when mounted.
Mount the siren to the selected location using the screws and bracket provided.
Hood or Trunk Pin Switch:
A pin switch is included for use in protecting the hood or trunk ( or hatchback ) of the vehicle. The switch
must always be mounted to a grounded, metal surface of the vehicle. It is important to select a location
where water cannot flow or collect and to avoid all drip gutters on hood and trunk fender walls. Choose
locations that are protected by rubber gaskets when the hood or trunk lid is closed.
The pin switch can be mounted using the bracket provided, or direct mounted by drilling a ¼ “ diameter
mountinghole. Keep in mindthat when properlymounted, the plungerof the pinswitch should depressat
least ¼ “ when the hood or trunk lid is closed.
Dash Mounted LED:
Asmall LED isincluded that willserve as avisual indicator ofthe alarm status.It should be installedin the
dash, located where it can be easily seen from outside the vehicle, yet not be distracting to the driver.
Oncea location hasbeen selected, checkbehind the panel forwire routing accessand to confirmthe drill
will not damage any existing components as it passes through the panel.
Drill a ¼ “ diameter hole and pass the red and blue wires from the LED through the hole, from the front of
the panel. Firmly press the body of the LED into the hole until fully seated.
Valet Switch:
Select a mounting location for the switch that is easily accessible to the driver of the vehicle. The switch
doesnothave to beconcealed, however, concealing theswitch is alwaysrecommended,as this provides
aneven higher levelof security to thevehicle.

WIRING THE SYSTEM
Large 15 Pin Edge Connector:
White Wire: + 12 VDC PULSED PARKING LIGHT OUTPUT( 15AMP MAX )
Thiswire is providedtoflash the vehicle’sparking lights. Connectthe white wireto the positiveside of one
ofthe vehicle’s parking lights.
Red Fused Wire: +12 VDC CONSTANTBATTERYSOURCE
This wire controls the sensitivity of the voltage sensing circuit, which detects the turning on of an interior
lightwhena door is opened.Itwill also detect theswitchingon of parkingorheadlamps and in manycases
willtrigger the alarm when a thermostatically controlled electronic radiator cooling fan switches on.
When installing this system into vehicles with electronic ''after fans'' , it is recommended you disable the
voltagesense circuit.
In voltage sensing applications, the closer to the battery that the red wire is connected, the less sensitive
the voltage sense circuitry will be. Moving this connection point to the fuse panel will increase the sensi-
tivity, and connecting to the courtesy lamp fuse in the vehicle will provide maximum sensitivity of the
voltagesense circuit.
Whenhardwiringthe control module, thevoltagesense circuit must bedisabled. Afterwiring of the control
module and connecting the Red wire to a fused battery source, be certain program feature # six is set for
Hardwire.
Red/White Wire: DELAYED 300 mAPULSED OUTPUT / CHANNEL2
Thiswire pulses to groundvia an independentRF channel fromthe keychain transmitter.This isa transis-
torized, low current output and should only be used to drive an external relay coil.
WARNING: Connecting thiswireto the high currentswitchedoutputof trunk release circuits,some remote
start trigger inputs, will damage the control module.
Connect this wire to terminal 86 of theAS - 9256 relay (or equivalent 30Aautomotive relay) and wire the
remainingrelay contactsto performthe selected function of channel 2.
Brown Wire: POSITIVEOUTPUT TO SIREN
Route this wire through a rubber grommet in the firewall, and to the siren location.
Connect the brown wire to the positive wire of the siren. Secure the black ground wire of the siren to
chassisground.
Black Wire: CHASSISGROUND
Connectthis wire toa solid, metal partof the vehicle’schassis. Do notconfuse this wirewith the thinblack
antennawire that exitsthe control moduleindependently.
Yellow Wire: +12 VDCIGNITION SOURCE
Connect this wire to a source that is live when the key is in the on and crank positions. Be sure that this
source is off when the key is in the off position.
Blue Wire: ( - )INSTANTTRIGGER ZONE
Thisisaninstantonground trigger wire. Itmustbeconnectedtothe previously installed hood andtrunkpin
switches.

Green Wire: - DOOR TRIGGER
If the vehicle’s courtesy light switches have a ( - ) ground output when the door is opened (GM and most
Imports), you must connect this wire to the negative output from one of the door switches.
WARNING: Do not use the green wire if the vehicle has + 12 volt output type door switches.
( see Purple Wire ).
Notefor vehicles withinterior delay lightingsee programming undertitle "Completing TheInstallation".
Purple Wire: + DOOR TRIGGER
Ifthe vehicle’s door courtesy light switches havea +12 volt output when the door is opened (most Fords
and some Imports ), you must connect this wire to the positive output from one of the door switches. In
mostcases, the purplewire will onlyneed to beconnected to onedoor switch, nomatter how many doors
thevehiclehas.
WARNING: Do not use the purple wire if the vehicle has ground output type door switches.
( see Green Wire ).
Notefor vehicles withinterior delay lightingsee programming undertitle "Completing TheInstallation".
Orange Wire: 300 mAGROUNDOUTPUTWHENARMED- N.C. STARTERDISABLE
This wire is provided to control the starter cut relay. Connect the orange wire to terminal 86 of the relay.
Connect relay terminal 85 to an ignition wire in the vehicle that is live when the key is in the on and crank
positions,and off when the key is inthe off position. ( This is where the yellow wire from the alarm should
beconnected ).
Cut the low current starter solenoid wire in the vehicle, and connect one side of the cut wire to relay
terminal 87A. Connect the other side of the cut wire to relay terminal 30.
Note: This is a normally closed starter cut arrangement and when power is removed from the
security system, the starter disable feature will not operate, allowing the vehicle to start.
The Manufacturer does not recommend using the Orange wire to interrupt anything but
the starting circuit of the vehicle.
Brown w/Black Trace Wire:LOWCURRENTNEGATIVEHORN OUTPUT(300mAMAXCURRENT)
Thiswire provides a 300mA pulsed output to beepthevehicle'shorn. Thislowcurrentpulsedoutputshould
onlybe connected tothe low current switched groundoutput from thevehicle's horn switch. If the vehicle
switches high current ground or + 12 volts to the horn, a relay must be used to operate the vehicle horn.
Connect the Brown/Black wire to terminal #86of a VF45F11 P&Bor equivalent 30A automotiverelay.
Connect terminal #85 to a fused + 12 volt source. Connect the remaining relay contacts 87, 87a and 30
toperform the switchingfunction thevehicle's horn circuitrequires.
White w/Green Trace Wire: Activation Output (Dbl. Push Required)
This wire is controlled from the transmitter button programmed to the receiver's channel 2. By double
pressing this the transmitter button, this output will become active for 1 second. This is a transistorized,
low current ( 300 mA ) output, designed to provide an output only when the transmitter is intentionally
operated, such as is the case with remote start add on modules. If you require more than 300mA drive
from this output, you must drive an external relay coil, and arrange the relays contacts to preform the
specifiedfunction.
Black w/ White Trace Wire: Entry Illumination ( 300 mAmax. )
Thiswireprovidesa30 second ground signalwheneverthesystemis disarmed, and pulsesgroundwhen-
ever the system is triggered. It should be used to provide the ( optional ) entry lighting and to flash the
vehicle’s dome light while the alarm is sounding. This is a transistorized, low current output and should
only be used to drive an external relay coil.
Connecttheblackwithwhitetracewire to terminal 86 of theAS-9256relay(or equivalent 30Aautomotive
relay ) and wire the remaining relay contacts according to the polarity of the dome light circuit in the
vehicle.

NOTE: When wiring this feature in vehicles with factory equipped delay lighting circuits, it is
best to connect to the output of the timer which feeds the dome light, rather than at the
door switch. This will ensure that the dome light pulses when the alarm is triggered.
Blue/White Wire: ( - ) Instant Trigger Zone 1
Thisis an instant on groundtrigger wire.This wire ( zone )should bereserved for connection to optional
ground output trigger devices such as motion and / or shock impact sensors.

control module, and plug one end into the shock sensor, and the other end into the mating white
connector on the side of the module.
Green / Blue / Blue/Red 3 Pin White Connector: Door Lock Outputs
Thesewires will provide eithera pulsed groundoutput to thefactory door lockcontrol relay, ora pulsed +
12 volt output to the factory door lock control relay. In either case, the maximum current draw through
theseoutputsmustnotexceed300mA. TheBlue/Red wire will provide a pulsedgroundonlyandwillonly
provide an output when the unlock button of the transmitter is pressed a second time after a first unlock
command was issued. This is used for second step unlock or all doors unlock in a two step circuit. In
thisarrangement,Green is usedto control the driversdoor unlock relay,and the Blue/Redwillbe used to
control unlock of all other doors.
3 Wire Ground Switched Single Step Door Locks

In this application, the green wire provides a ground pulse during arming, or the pulsed ground lock
output.Connectthe green wiretothe wire thatprovides a low currentground signal from thefactory door
lock switch to the factory door lock control relay.
The blue wire provides the first ground pulse during disarming, or the drivers door pulsed ground
unlock output. Connect this wire to the drivers door unlock relay that requires a low current ground
signal to unlock only the drivers door. If the vehicle does not have a separate drivers door relay, one will
have to be added. Locate the drivers door unlock motor wire and cut it at a convenient location to allow
wiringofanoptionalrelay. Connect the door sideofthecutwireto terminal 30 of theoptionalrelayadded.
Connectthevehiclesideof the cut wiretoterminal87aof the optional relay added. Connectthebluewire
ofthe 3 pin harness to terminal 86 of theoptional relayadded. Connect terminal 85 of the optional relay
added to a fused constant + 12 volt source. Most vehicles door lock/unlock motor legs rest at ground,
andswitch +12 volts to thedoor lock/unlock motor legs foroperation, if this is thecase in the vehicle you
areworking on, connect the remainingterminal, 87, to a fused+ 12 volt source. In therare instance that
the vehicle door lock/unlock motor legs rest at + 12 volts and switches ground to the door lock/unlock
motors, connect he remaining terminal, 87, to chassis ground.

The Blue/Red wire provides a pulse ground output when the unlock button of the transmitter is pressed a
second time after disarming. Connect the Blue/Red wire to the wire that provides a low current ground
signal from the factory door unlock switch to the factory door lock control relay.
3 Wire Positive Switched Door Locks
In this application, the green wire provides a positive pulse during disarming, or the pulsed + 12 volt
unlockoutput.Connectthegreenwiretothewirethatprovides a low current positive signal fromthefactory
door unlock switch to the factory door lock control relay.
The blue wire provides a positive pulse during arming, or the pulsed + 12 volt lock output. Connect the
blue wire to the wire that provides a low current positive signal from the factory door lock switch to the
factory door lock control relay.
3 Wire Positive Switched 2 Step Door Locks
The blue wire provides a positive pulse during arming, or the pulsed + 12 volt lock output. Connect the
blue wire to the wire that provides a low current positive signal from the factory door lock switch to the
factory door lock control relay.
The green wire provides a positive pulse during disarming, or the drivers door pulsed positive unlock
output. Connect this wire to the drivers door unlock relay that requires a low current positive signal to
unlock only the drivers door. If the vehicle does not have a separate drivers door relay, one will have to be
added. Locate the drivers door unlock motor wire and cut it at a convenient location to allow wiring of an
optionalrelay. Connect thedoorside of thecutwire to terminal 30ofthe optional relayadded. Connectthe
vehicleside of the cut wireto terminal87a of the optional relayadded. Connect thegreen wire of the 3pin

Antenna Wire: Besure to extendthe thin blackantenna wire to it’s fulllength and cabletie into placewhere
itcannot be damaged.Avoidwrapping this wirearound major,high current wirelooms.
Adjusting the Shock Sensor: Ifused, the sensitivityof the pre - detectcircuit is automaticallyset 30%less
sensitive than the full trigger circuit.
Usinga small screwdriver, gently turn the adjustmentscrew fully counterclockwise. ( DONOToverturn this
screw.Maximumrotationfor thisadjustmentis 270° ). Closethehood and trunk lids,andarm the alarm. Wait
6 seconds for the accessories trigger zone to stabilize, then firmly strike the rear bumper with the side of a
closedfist considering the amount offorce required to break awindow.
CAUTION: Never perform this test on the vehicle’s glass, as you may break the window.
Turnthe adjustment screw clockwise ( increasing sensitivity ) about ¼ turn and re - test. Repeat this proce-
dure until the alarm sounds. Ultimately, one firm strike to the rear bumper will cause the alarm to emit pre -
detectwarning tones.
WARNING! Setting the sensitivity too high can cause false alarms due to noise vibrations from passing
trucksand heavy equipment.To decreasesensitivity, turn theadjustment screw counter clock-
wise.
Wire Dressing: Always wrap the alarm wires in convoluted tubing, or with a spiral wrap of electrical tape.
Securetheselooms along the routingusingcable ties. This willensurethat the alarmwiresare not damaged
byfalling onto hot or sharpmoving surfacesin the vehicle.
Operation:Take a few moments tocheckoffthe appropriateoptionboxesinthe owner’smanual,and to fully
explain the operation of the system to your customer.
