remains on for 4 consecutive cycles (45
seconds) that input will be ignored. If the
input returns to a non-triggered state for
30 seconds it will be monitored by the
system again.
PROGRAMMING FEATURES
Remote Programmable
Features:
Service Mode:This mode will allow cus-
tomer to shut the system off and allow
car to be serviced without giving techni-
cian or valet the remote control. LED
will go solid when in this mode.To enter
this mode:
1. Disarm system,
2. Press button #2 momentarily,
3. Immediately press and hold button #1
until you hear 5 rapid chirps. LED will go
on solid and remain in service mode until
button #1 (or arming button) is pressed
again.
Chirp Delete: If you would like to turn
off the arm/disarm chirps:
1. System disarmed,
2. Turn ignition to the on position,
3. Press and hold button #2 until you
hear a double chirp. Arm/Disarm chirps
will remain turned off until above proce-
dure is repeated. When Arm/Disarm
chirps are turned back on you will hear 2
double chirps.
Temporary Remote Trigger Bypass:If
you wish to have the system ignore all
inputs (door, trunk and shock or auxiliary
sensor), but wish to have the starter dis-
able feature to be engaged:
1. Press Button #1, you will hear a nor-
mal arming chirp, (as long as arming
chirps are on).
2. Within 5 seconds press Button #2, you
will hear a second short chirp, confirming
that all inputs will not be monitored.
Once you disarm and rearm, the hood
and doors will be monitored normally.
Temporary Remote Sensor Bypass:If
you wish to have the system ignore the
shock and auxiliary sensor inputs
(Customer is leaving pet or children in
vehicle but wishes to monitor doors and
hood or trunk) Press button #1, then
2

within 5 seconds press button #3.You will
hear a normal arming chirp, (as long as
arming chirps are on), then right after you
press buttons #3 you will hear a second
short chirp, confirming that the Shock
sensor and auxiliary sensor input will not
be monitored. Once you disarm and
rearm, the sensor will normally be moni-
tored.
Using the temporary remote sensor and
trigger bypass to diagnose falsing prob-
lems will allow you to easily find the
defective input. (Have the customer turn
one or the other off, and see if falsing still
occurs). Note: You may not turn off both
sensor or trigger inputs at the same time.
Temporary Chirp Mute: If you wish to
mute arm/disarm chirps: 1. Press button
#2 momentarily, 2. Next press button #1

valet/override switch for approximately 3
seconds, 4. LED will turn on solid.
To exit Valet mode: Repeat procedure,
LED will turn off momentarily, siren will
chirp twice.
Emergency Override: If you lose your
remote or it becomes inoperable, and
system is armed: 1. Open door and enter
vehicle (Siren will sound, lights will flash).
2. Turn ignition key to on, 3. Press the
override switch, 4. System will disarm,
and automatically enter Valet mode,
regardless of whether system is pro-
grammed to passively or actively arm.
Code Learning Mode: If you wish to
‘teach’ the system different remote con-
trols:
1. Make sure system is disarmed or in
valet mode,
2. Turn ignition switch on 3 times within
5 seconds and leave in the on position
(ON, OFF, ON , OFF, and ON), you will
hear one chirp from the siren, LED will
flash one time,
3. Within 5 seconds press and hold
valet/override switch for approximately 5
seconds, you will hear a series of chirps
and LED will turn on solid,
4. Release the valet switch, and within 5
seconds you must press all of the arming
buttons on all Transmitters that you
desire to operate the system. You will
hear a chirp after the system has learned
each remote control. The system will
hold 3 different codes in memory.
NOTE: Once you enter the code learn-
ing mode, the system will throw out any
previous programmed remotes. If you are
programming two remotes with the same
code, the system will acknowledge only
the first remote. Even though both
remotes will operate the system.
Multi Car Operation: If you are using
a remote to control two vehicles (the
second button to operate the second
vehicle) Button #2 will only operate
arming and disarming features on the sec-
ond vehicle only. 2nd and 3 rd Auxiliary
channels will not function. Since the trans-
mitter is 3 channel, you could operate up
to three different vehicles with a single
remote. (Buttons 1, 2 and 3)

INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Mount the module and
program dip switch functions:
Look for a suitable mounting location
under the dash or inside the vehicle that
will be difficult for a potential thief to
locate the module, but allow for a con-
venient installation position.
2. Mount the extended range
receiver/pager module:
This module is connected with an 8 foot
coaxial to the main module. Carefully
route the cable up the driver side pillar
post and mount the Receiver/pager mod-
ule up in the upper left corner of wind-
shield or behind the center rear view
mirror. Antenna can be mounted in any
direction.Adhere the module to the glass
with the supplied 2 sided tape.
3. Mount the Siren:
Locate a suitable place under the hood,
away from hot and moving engine parts
such as manifolds, turbo chargers, fan
belts, etc. Secure siren by screwing brack-
et to a solid location under the hood.
Make sure that there is no outside access
to both siren and wire from underneath
the vehicle or through the grill.
Point the siren down so that water may
not accumulate inside the siren bell.
Ground the black wire of the siren to a
solid ground; preferably, use a star washer
and ring terminal.
Using either tape or split loom tubing,
cover and route the red wire to the
firewall and run inside the vehicle to the
module location.
Always use either existing grommets or if
a new hole is needed to be drilled always
protect the wire from chaffing by
installing a proper size grommet.
4. Mount the shock sensor:
Mount the dual stage shock sensor using
a wire tie to the steering column, or thick
wire harness, or even a dash brace under
the dash close to the module.
Plug the harness into the shock sensor,
then plug the other end into the 4 pin
white connector on the module. Make
sure that the adjustment screw is accessi-
ble for later testing and adjustment. Do
Not mount sensor under the hood!
5. Install the Status
Indicator (LED):
Locate a suitable place for the status indi-
cator (LED), drill the appropriate size
hole (7/16”). Make sure there is enough
clearance for the LED to fit all the way in,
and can be easily seen from outside the
vehicle. Carefully push the connector
through the hole and route the wire and
5

connector to the module and plug into
the red two pin connector. Push the LED
into the hole, it should fit snugly.
6. Install the Valet/
Override Switch:
Mount the valet/override switch in a hid-
den location, but that can still be found
by the customer for programming and
emergency override situations.
Run the 2 pin connector and wire har-
ness to the module and plug into the
matching blue two pin connector on the
module.
7. Connect the Illuminated
Entry Output:
Connect the Green/Black wire on the 3
pin accessory output plug to a SPDT relay
(See illuminated entry diagram).
Warning: don‘t connect the green/Black
wire directly to a door trigger wire, this
output is only designed to be used with
an outboard relay.
8. Connect Armed Output:
Orange wire on main harness
(see diagram)
This wire provides a 250ma ouput (-)
when the system is armed. See diagram.
Must use relay when connecting the
Orange wire.
9. Connect 2nd channel out-
put: Gray wire on main harness
This output is 500ma, and drives a relay
to open the electric trunk or hatch
release. (See diagram section).
NOTE:This output will work with the
ignition on or off. Press button#2 and
hold for 3 seconds.You will receive out-
put on the gray wire as long as you hold
button #2.
10. Connect Negative door
input: Green wire on main har-
ness
Connect the green wire from the module
to the wire that shows ground when all
of the doors are opened.Verify with
volt/ohm meter. Make sure that all doors
when opened separately make the target
wire provide a ground output.
11. Connect Hood/ Trunk
switch input:Blue wire on main
harness
Connect the blue wire to either or both
hood and trunk switches.They must pro-
vide a ground output when the trunk or
hood are opened.
12. Connect Positive door
input: Violet wire on main har-
ness
Connect the violet wire from the module
to the wire that shows 12v+ when all of
6

the doors are opened.Verify with
volt/ohm meter. Make sure that all doors
when opened separately make the target
wire provide a 12v+ output.
13. Connect Siren output:
Brown wire on main harness
Connect the brown wire on the main
harness to the red wire from the siren.
14. Connect the Flashing
Parking Light Output: White
wire main harness.
Using a volt/ohm meter, locate the wire
that shows 12v+ when just the parking
lights are switched on (usually on the
head light switch). Some European vehi-
cles might require an additional relay as
they have separate wires that switch on
the left side parking lights and the right
side parking lights.
This is a relayed output with a maximum
of 15 amps. Do not hook to head lights.
(See diagram section).
15. Connect 12v+ Power Input
: Red wire on main harness
Connect the red fused wire on the main
harness to a constant 12v+ source.
This source wire should be at least 20
amp supply.There usually is a main con-
stant power wire on the ignition switch.
Use volt/ohm meter to verify.
16. Connect the 12v+ ignition
input: Yellow wire on main
harness
Connect the yellow wire on the main
harness to a main ignition wire.This can
be also found in the main ignition switch
wire harness.Your volt/ohm meter will
read 12v+ when key is turned on.
Make sure that this ignition wire has 12v+
on even during the starting process of the
vehicle. It is important that the voltage
does not drop when the car is starting.
Some vehicles have ignition wires that
remain or slowly drop to 0 volts.Verify
that when the ignition is shut off that the
voltage drops to 0 Volts immediately. If
the yellow wire has voltage on it after the
key is turned off, it will keep the alarm
from arming via the remote.
17. Connect Ground Input:
Black wire on main harness
Locate a good solid chassis ground and
connect to the black wire on main har-
ness.Verify the ground with your
volt/ohm meter.
18. Connect optional third
channel output: Yellow wire on
3 pin accessory harness
Connect the yellow wire on main harness
to an optional relay or accessory module
6

to control via the 3rd channel. Ideal for
window roll up or remote start.
To use this feature press both buttons
1&2 on 2 button remote control.
NOTE: This output will work with the
ignition on or off. It will provide output
on the Yellow wire as long as you hold
transmitter button #3.
20. Connect Horn Honk out-
put: Red wire on 3 pin
accessory connector
Connect the red wire to a relay that
honks the factory car horn. In many vehi-
cles this wire can be found off of the
main harness at the steering wheel or
ignition harness. Add a SPDT relay if you
are connecting directly to the car horn.
21. Connect the door lock
wires: Blue and Green on 3 pin
harness.
The blue wire provides a 500 ma negative
pulsed output for unlock, this output is
designed to drive a relay. See diagram sec-
tion.
The green wire provides a 500 ma nega-
tive pulsed output for lock, this output is
designed to drive a relay. See diagram sec-
tion.
The Red wire provides a constant +12V
to use for triggering relays, door lock
modules, or inverters.
22. Plug in main harness and
3 pin door lock harness and 3
pin accessory connection to
module.
23. Test features and function,
adjust shock sensor.
Arm and disarm system, check that the
siren chirps and parking lights are func-
tioning normally. Make sure that the pro-
grammed features (via dip switch ) are
performing correctly-ignition locks, pas-
sive arming, passive locks, etc.
Test the doors and hood or trunk inputs
(make sure that you check that all doors
trigger the system not just the drivers
door), you can do this with the Silent Test
Mode.
Adjust the shock sensor (clockwise for
more sensitive, counter clockwise for less
sensitive) , make sure that it is not too
sensitive.
Arm the system and try and start the
vehicle, it should not start.
Arm the system and disarm it with the
ignition and override switch.
If programmed to passively arm make
sure that the system properly arms.
Check for range with the remotes that
they arm and disarm all the way around
the vehicle- adjust antenna location if nec-
essary.
