Installation Procedures
Control Unit
1. Select a location under the dash that will allow you to use the tie wraps to
securely fasten the control unit.
2. Mount the control unit as high as possible to ensure maximum security.
3. Do not mount the control unit near moving parts.
4. Avoid areas that are in the direct path of air blowing from the vents.
5. Route wires from this point, leaving slack for ease of service.
RangeMaster™ Super Heterodyne Receiver Module
1. Plug the receiver module WHITE connector into the control unitWHITE
plug.
2. Use tie wraps to fasten the receiver module as far from the control unit as
possible.
3. Route the antenna cable up through the driver side windshield pillar,
behind the headliner and behind the rear view mirror.
4. Fasten the antenna to the windshield with the attached adhesive tape.
Attach the antenna vertically so the rubber tip on the end of the antenna is
facing downward.
Wireloom
1. Plug the wirelooms securely into the control unit and satellite relay
module.
2. Route wires from the control module and satellite relay module directly to
each connection point.
3. Separate the small and large RED , RED/WHITE , BLACK, TAN, VIOLET
and WHITE/GREEN wires.
4.Sleeve these wires with vinyl tubing or electrical tape and route them

Zone2 ™ Impact Sensor
The sensor must be firmly mounted on a solid metal surface inside the vehicle.
We recommend tie wrapping the sensor to the steering column housing or
steering column support bracket. DO NOT mount the sensor near moving
parts or in the direct path of an air duct opening.
1. Plug the impact sensor BLUE 4-pin connector into the control unitBLUE
4-pin connector.
2. Route the impact sensor harness to the chosen mounting location.
3. Using the long tie wraps supplied, securely fasten the impact sensor
allowing access to the adjustment screws.
Additional Sensor Input
The ORANGE wire is a (-) trigger input with a 5 second arming delay. This
input can be used for optional sensors such a glass sensor, radar sensor or any
other type of sensor that provides a (-) ground output when triggered.
Alarm Armed Signal (-) Output
The GRAY wire will provide a continual 300 M.A. output whenever the alarm is
armed. This output can be used for voice modules, window roll-up modules and
any other optional accessory that requires a (-) output when the alarm is armed.
