This wire supplies (-) ground as long as the system is armed. This output ceases as soon as the system is disarmed.
This wire can be used to turn on an optional sensor or control an optional accessory, such as a window module or pager.
As shipped, this wire should be connected to the (+) parking light wire. If the light flash polarity jumper inside
the control module is moved to the opposite position (see Internal Programming Jumper section of this guide),
this wire supplies a (-) 200 mA output. This is suitable for driving (-) light control wires in Toyota, Lexus, BMW,
some Mitsubishi, some Mazda, and other model cars.

(-) Negative Light Flash Output
NOTE: For parking light circuits that draw 10 amps or more, the internal jumper must be switched
to a (-) light flash output. (See the Internal Programming Jumper section of this guide.) P/N 8617
or a standard automotive SPDT relay must be used on the H1/2 light flash output harness wire.
This wire provides a (-) 200 mA output whenever the transmitter code controlling Channel 3 is received. This
output will continue as long as that transmission is received. Use for options such as 551T Valet®Start system,
529T or 530T power window controllers, etc.
IMPORTANT! Never use this wire to drive anything except a relay or a low-current input! The tran-
sistorized output can only provide 200 mA of current, and connecting directly to a solenoid, motor,
or other high-current device will cause it to fail.
Connect this wire directly to the domelight circuit in the vehicle. The on-board relay will drive circuits up to
20 amperes. The polarity of this output is determined by the connection of the H2/3 BLACK/WHITE input wire
in the Auxiliary Harness.
NOTE: If the H2/3 input wire is not connected, there will be no output on this wire.
Most vehicles use negative door trigger circuits. Connect the green wire to a wire which shows ground when any
door is opened. In vehicles with factory delays on the domelight circuit, there is usually a wire that is unaffected
by the delay circuitry. This wire will report Zone 3.

This wire will respond to a negative input with an instant trigger. Inputs shorter than 0.8 seconds will trigger
the Warn Away response, while triggers longer than 0.8 seconds will instantly trigger the full alarm cycle. This
wire is ideal for hood and trunk pins and will report on Zone 1. This wire can also be used with DEI’s 506T Glass
Breakage Sensor, as well as other DEI single stage sensors. The H1/6 BLUE multiplex trigger wire can be used to
shunt sensors during operation, using the auxiliary channels. When any of the auxiliary channels are transmit-
ted, the H1/6 BLUE wire monitors for a ground. If ground is detected within 5 seconds of transmission, the
sensors and the multiplex trigger input on the BLUE wire will be shunted until 5 seconds after the ground is
removed. This allows the customer to access the trunk, remote start the vehicle, or roll the windows down without
first disarming the alarm. (See Bypassing Sensor Inputs section of this guide.)
This wire is used in vehicles that have a positive (+) switched dome light circuit. Connect the violet wire
to a wire that shows (+)12V when any door is opened, and ground when the door is closed. This wire reports Zone 3.
Remove any paint and connect this wire to bare metal, preferably with a factory bolt rather than your own screw.
(Screws tend to either strip or loosen with time.) We recommend grounding all your components, including the
siren, to the same point in the vehicle.
Connect this wire to an ignition source. This input must show (+)12V with the key in run position and during
cranking. Make sure that this wire cannot be shorted to the chassis at any point. This wire will report Zone 5.
H1/9 YELLOW (+) ignition input, zone 5
H1/8 BLACK (-) chassis ground connection
H1/7 VIOLET (+) door trigger input, zone 3
H1/6 BLUE (-) multiplex trigger input, zone 1

Connect this to the red wire of the siren. Connect the black wire of the siren to (-) chassis ground, preferably at
the same point you connect the control module’s black ground wire.
Before connecting this wire, remove the supplied fuse. Connect to the positive battery terminal or the constant
12V supply to the ignition switch.
NOTE: Always use a fuse within 12 inches of the point you obtain (+)12V power. Do not use the
15A fuse in the harness for this purpose. This fuse protects the module itself.
When the system receives code controlling Channel 2 for longer than 1.5 seconds, the red/white wire supplies an output
as long as the transmission continues. This is often used to operate a trunk/hatch release or other relay-driven function.
IMPORTANT! Never use this wire to drive anything but a relay or a low-current input! The transis-
torized output can only supply 200 mA of current. Connecting directly to a solenoid, motor, or other
high-current device will cause it to fail.

This output is used for progressive door unlock. A progressive unlock system unlocks the driver's door when the
unlock (disarm) button is pressed and unlocks the passenger doors if the unlock (disarm) button is pressed
again within 15 seconds after unlocking the driver's door. The BLUE wire outputs a low current (-) pulse on the
second press of the unlock button of the transmitter. This negative unlock output is used to unlock the pas-
senger doors.
NOTE: The second unlock output feature is not available if the double pulse unlock feature is turned on.
The following diagrams show how to wire progressive door locks on some of the most common door lock systems.

This wire supplies a (-) 200 mA output that can be used to honk the vehicle’s horn. It outputs a single pulse
when locking the doors with the remote, and two pulses when unlocking the doors with the remote. This wire
will also output pulses for 30 seconds when the panic mode is activated. If the vehicle has a (+) horn circuit, a
standard automotive SPDT relay or a relay assembly package (p/n 8617) must be used.
IMPORTANT! Never use this wire to drive anything but a relay or a low-current input! This
transistorized output can only supply (-) 200 mA. Connecting directly to a high-current device will
cause the module to fail.
NOTE: If this output is used to drive a (+) horn circuit, an optional standard automotive SPDT relay
or a relay assembly package (p/n 8617) must be used. See the following diagram.
This wire determines what the output polarity of H1/4 will be. If the door pin circuit is negative, connect to
chassis ground. If the door circuit is positive, connect to a fused 12V source.

door lock harness (H3) wire connection guide
______
______
______
This system can control two common power door lock types without any additional parts! With certain vehicles,
or if an actuator is to be installed, either a 451M Door Lock Relay Satellite or two relays will be required.
IMPORTANT! If you mistake a Type C direct-wired system for a Type A positive-pulse system, the
module will be damaged!
The system can control a Type A system directly, with no additional parts. The switch will have three wires on
it, and one will test (+)12V constantly. The others will alternately pulse (+)12V when the switch is pressed to
the lock or unlock position.
If you cannot get to the switch, and you find a set of wires that pulses (+)12V alternately on lock and unlock,
you must take care to ensure that it is not a Type C direct-wire system.
Here is a test: Cut the wire which pulses (+)12V on lock, and then operate the switch to unlock. If all doors
unlock, the vehicle uses a type A system. If you lose all door lock operation in both directions, you are operat-
ing the master switch in a Type C system.
If you lose all door lock operation of one or more doors, but not all motors stop operating, and other doors still
work, you have cut a wire leading directly to one or more motors. You must instead find the actual wires leading
to the switch.
Many domestically-made GM vehicles use Type A locks. However, many more GM vehicles are Type C than in pre-
vious years. The full-size pickups (1989-up), many of the S10 Blazers, the Corvette, 1995 Cavalier/Sunfire 1993
- and newer, and Camaro/Firebird all use Type C door locks, and cannot be controlled without a 451M! Almost all
domestically-built Fords are Type C. Ford builds very few Type A systems. Chrysler builds both Type A and Type
C, so use caution.
See the following diagram for wiring Type A door locks.

This system is common in many Toyota, Nissan, Honda, and Saturn models, as well as Fords with remote-con-
trolled door lock/unlock (some other Fords also use Type B).
The switch will have three wires on it, and one wire will test ground all the time. One wire will pulse (-) when
the switch locks the doors, and the other wire will pulse (-) when the switch unlocks the doors. This type of
system is difficult to mistake for any other type.
type B: negative (-) pulses from the switch to the factory relays

Interfacing with a reversing polarity system requires either two relays or one 451M (not included).
It is critical to identify the proper wires and locate the master switch to interface properly. Locate wires that
show voltage on lock and unlock. Cut one of the suspect wires and check operation of the locks from both
switches. If one switch loses operation in both directions and the other switch operates in one direction only,
you have located one of the target wires. The switch that lost all operation is the master switch. If one switch
works both directions and the other switch works only one direction, you have a Type A system. If both switches
still operate, but one or more doors have stopped responding entirely, you have cut a motor lead. Reconnect it
and continue to test for another wire. Once both wires have been located and the master switch identified, cut
both wires and interface as shown below.
IMPORTANT! If these are not connected properly, you will send (+) 12 volts directly to (-) ground,
possibly damaging the alarm or the factory switch.
type C: reversing polarity

In order for this system to control one or more after-market actuators, a 451M or two relays (optional) are needed.
Vehicles without factory power door locks require the installation of one actuator per door. This requires
mounting the door lock actuator inside the door. Other vehicles may only require one actuator installed in the
driver's door if all door locks are operated when the driver's lock is used. This type of installation is required to
operate factory lock systems in Volvo (except 850), SAAB, and most Mazda, Isuzu and Subaru models. The fuse
used on 12-volt inputs should be 7.5A per motor installed in the vehicle.
type D: after-market actuators

Door locks are controlled by an electrically activated vacuum pump. Some Mercedes and Audi models use a Type
D system. Test by locking doors from the passenger key cylinder. If all the doors lock, the vehicle's door lock
system can be controlled with just two relays (optional). The control wire can be found in either kick panel and
will show (+)12V when doors are unlocked and (-) ground when doors are locked.
To interface, see diagram below. The system must be programmed for 3.5 second door lock pulses. (See
Operating Settings Remote Control Code Learning section of this guide.)
type E: mercedes-benz and audi (1985 and newer)

16 © 2001 Directed Electronics, Inc. Vista, CA
This system usually requires a negative pulse to unlock, and cutting the wire to lock the door. In some vehicles,
these are reversed. It is found in late-model Nissan Sentras, some Nissan 240SX, and Nissan 300ZX 1992 and later.
It is also found in some Mazda MPV's and some Mitsubishi's.
One relay (optional) is used to interface to this type of system as follows:
type F: one-wire system

© 2001 Directed Electronics, Inc. Vista, CA 17
This system is most commonly found in Ford, Mazda, Chrysler and GM vehicles. The door lock switch or door key
cylinder may contain either one or two resistors. When interfacing with this type of door lock system, two relays
or a DEI 451M must be used.
If one resistor is used in the door lock switch/key cylinder, the wire will pulse (+)12V in one direction and less
than (+)12V when operated in the opposite direction.
If two resistors are used in the factory door lock switch/key cylinder, the switch/key cylinder will read less than
(+)12V in both directions.
To determine the resistor values, the door lock switch/key cylinder must be isolated from the factory door lock
system. For all testing, use a calibrated digital multimeter that is set to ohms.
1. Cut the output wire from the door lock switch/key cylinder in half.
2. Test with the meter from the switch side of the cut door lock switch/key cylinder wire to a reliable constant
(+)12V source. Some good constant (+)12V references are the power input source to the door lock switch/key
cylinder, the ignition switch power wire, or the (+) terminal of the battery.
3. Operate the door lock switch/key cylinder in both directions to determine the resistor values. If the multi-
meter displays zero resistance in one direction, no resistor is needed for that direction.
4. Once the resistor value(s) is determined, refer to the wiring diagram for proper wiring.

The system is most commonly found in Ford, Mazda, Chrysler and GM vehicles. The door lock switch or door key
cylinder may contain either one or two resistors.
If one resistor is used in the door lock switch/key cylinder, the wire will pulse ground in one direction and resis-
tance to ground when operated in the opposite direction.
If two resistors are used in the factory door lock switch/key cylinder, the door lock switch/key cylinder will read
resistance to ground in both directions.
To determine the resistor values, the door lock switch/key cylinder must be isolated from the factory door lock
system. For all testing, use a calibrated digital multimeter that is set to ohms.
1. Cut the output wire from the door lock switch/key cylinder in half.
2. Test with the meter from the switch side of the cut door lock switch/key cylinder wire to a reliable ground
source. Some good ground references are the ground input source to the door lock switch/key cylinder or the
battery ground.
3. Operate the door lock switch/key cylinder in both directions to determine the resistor values. If the multi-
meter displays zero resistance in one direction, no resistor is needed for that direction.

internal programming jumper
This jumper is used to determine the light flash output. In the (+) position, the on-board relay is enabled and
the unit will output (+)12V on the H1/2 WHITE wire. In the (-) position, the on-board relay is disabled. The H1/2
WHITE wire will supply a (-) 200 mA output suitable for driving factory parking light relays. To access the jumper,
open the control module.
NOTE: For parking light circuits that draw 10 amps or more, the internal jumper must be switched
to a (-) light flash output. P/N 8617 or a standard automotive SPDT relay must be used on the
H1/2 light flash output harness wire.
