warning! safety first
The following safety warnings must be observed at all times:
zDue to the complexity of this system, installation of this product must only be per-
formed by an authorized Clifford dealer.
zWhen properly installed, this system can start the vehicle via a command signal
from the remote control transmitter. Therefore, never operate the system in an
area that does not have adequate ventilation. The following precautions are the
sole responsibility of the user; however, authorized Clifford dealers should make
the following recommendations to all users of this system:
1. Never operate the system in an enclosed or partially enclosed area without
ventilation (such as a garage).
2. When parking in an enclosed or partially enclosed area or when having
the vehicle serviced, the remote start system must be disabled using the
installed toggle switch.
3. It is the user's sole responsibility to properly handle and keep out of reach
from children all remote control transmitters to assure that the system does
not unintentionally remote start the vehicle.
4. THE USER MUST INSTALL A CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTOR IN OR
ABOUT THE LIVING AREA ADJACENT TO THE VEHICLE. ALL DOORS
LEADING FROM ADJACENT LIVING AREAS TO THE ENCLOSED OR
PARTIALLY ENCLOSED VEHICLE STORAGE AREA MUST AT ALL TIMES
REMAIN CLOSED.
zUse of this product in a manner contrary to its intended mode of operation may
result in property damage, personal injury, or death. Except when performing
the Safety Check outlined in this installation guide, (1) Never remotely start the
vehicle with the vehicle in gear, and (2) Never remotely start the vehicle with the
keys in the ignition. The user will be responsible for having the neutral safety fea-
ture of the vehicle periodically checked, wherein the vehicle must not remotely
start while the car is in gear. This testing should be performed by an authorized
Clifford dealer in accordance with the Safety Check outlined in this product
installation guide. If the vehicle starts in gear, cease remote start operation imme-
diately and consult with the user to fix the problem immediately.
zAfter the remote start module has been installed, test the remote start module in
accordance with the Safety Check outlined in this installation guide. If the vehi-
cle starts when performing the Neutral Safety Shutdown Circuit test, the remote
start unit has not been properly installed. The remote start module must be
removed or properly reinstalled so that the vehicle does not start in gear. All
installations must be performed by an authorized Clifford dealer.

OPERATION OF THE REMOTE START MODULE IF THE VEHICLE STARTS IN
GEAR IS CONTRARY TO ITS INTENDED MODE OF OPERATION. OPERATING
THE REMOTE START SYSTEM UNDER THESE CONDITIONS MAY RESULT IN
PROPERTY DAMAGE OR PERSONAL INJURY. IMMEDIATELY CEASE THE USE
OF THE UNIT AND REPAIR OR DISCONNECT THE INSTALLED REMOTE START
MODULE. CLIFFORD WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE OR PAY FOR INSTAL-
LATION OR REINSTALLATION COSTS.
before beginning the installation
zPlease read this entire installation guide before beginning the installation. The
installation of this remote start system requires interfacing with many of the vehi-
cle’s systems. Many new vehicles use low-voltage or multiplexed systems that can
be damaged by low resistance testing devices, such as test lights and logic
probes (computer safe test lights). Test all circuits with a high quality digital multi-
meter before making connections.
zDo not disconnect the battery if the vehicle has an anti-theft-coded radio. If
equipped with an air bag, avoid disconnecting the battery if possible. Many
airbag systems will display a diagnostic code through their warning lights after
they lose power. Disconnecting the battery requires this code to be erased, which
can require a trip to the dealer.
zRemove the domelight fuse. This prevents accidentally draining the battery.
zRoll down a window to avoid being locked out of the car.
after the installation
zTest all functions. Refer to the "Using Your System" section of the Owner's Guide
when testing.
zComplete the vehicle Safety Check outlined in this manual prior to reassembly.
WWAARRNNIINNGG!!This system is intended for automatic
transmission, fuel-injected vehicles only. Installation in a
standard transmission vehicle maybe dangerous and is
contrary to its intended use.

h1/1 black ground
Connect the BLACK wire to a clean, paint-free sheet metal location (driver’s kick panel)
using a factory bolt that does NOT have any vehicle component grounds attached to
it. A screw should only be used in conjunction with a two-sided lock washer. Under
dash brackets and door sheet metal are not acceptable ground points. It is recom-
mended that all security components be grounded at the same location.
h1/7 blue (-) hood/trunk trigger input - zone 5
This input will respond to a negative input with an instant trigger. It is ideal for hood
and trunk pins and will report on Zone 5. It can also be used with Directed single-
stage sensors.
h1/8 violet (+) door trigger input - zone 4
Connect the violet wire to a wire that shows (+)12V when any door is opened. This
wire will report Zone 4.

www.directed.com
6
h1/9 green (-) door trigger input - zone 4
Most vehicles use negative door trigger circuits. Connect the GREEN wire to a wire
showing ground when any door is opened. When connecting to newer model vehicles
there is generally a need to use individual door triggers. This wire will report Zone 4.
NNOOTTEE::If using a door trigger wire that has a delay, the installer-selectable program-
ming grid or the Cliffnet Wizard can be used to turn the door ajar warning off.
h1/10 red (+) 12v constant
Before connecting the RED wire, remove the supplied fuse. Connect to the battery pos-
itive terminal (be sure to use the supplied fuse holder and a 5 amp fuse) or the con-
stant (+) 12V supply to the vehicle fusebox.
h1/11 brown (+) siren output
Connect the BROWN (+) siren output wire to the RED wire of the 514C. Connect the
BLACK wire of the siren to (-) chassis ground at the same point you connect the control
module’s BLACK ground wire.
h1/12 white/red light flash input
This wire is the input for the on-board dual light flash relay. If the vehicle has positive
parking light activation wires, connect this wire to a constant (+) 12V source that is
fused at 15A or higher (be sure to use the supplied fuse holder and a 15 amp fuse).
If the vehicle parking light activation wire is negative, connect this wire to a chassis
ground location.

© 2006 directed electronics 7
h1/13 and h1/14 white parking light output
These wires are the output of an on-board dual make relay and should be connected
to wires in the vehicle that control the parking light wire polarity. The dual outputs are
designed for European vehicles with isolated parking light systems. If the vehicle’s
parking lights are controlled by a single wire, connect both WHITE wires to it.
IIMMPPOORRTTAANNTT!!The polarity of this wire is determined by the connection of the H1/12
light flash input wire. Always confirm light flash polarity before connecting H1/12 or
damage to the vehicle lighting system could occur.
h1/15 black/white (-) dome light supervision output (200mA)
Connect the H1/15 BLACK/WHITE wire to the optional domelight supervision relay
as shown in the following diagram.
IIMMPPOORRTTAANNTT!!This output is only intended to drive a relay. It cannot be connected
directly to the domelight circuit, as the output cannot support the current draw of one
or more bulbs.

www.directed.com
8
h1/16 red/white accessory output
When the system receives the code controlling the accessory output, this wire will sup-
ply an output as long as the transmission continues. This is often used to operate a
trunk/hatch release or other relay-driven function.
IIMMPPOORRTTAANNTT!!Never use this wire to drive anything but a relay or a low-current input!
The transistorized output can only supply 200 mA of current. Connecting directly to a
solenoid, motor, or other high-current device will cause it to fail.
h1/17 orange ground when armed
This wire provides a (-) ground output as long as the system is armed and will cease
when the system is disarmed. This output can be used for an additional immobilizer
relay or to control additional accessories such as window automation, voice modules,
or pagers.
h1/18 yellow ignition input
Connect this wire to the (+) 12V ignition wire that is (+) 12V in the igntion and crank
positions.. Take great care that this wire cannot be shorted to the chassis at any point.

door lock harness wire connection guide
___
___
___
IIMMPPOORRTTAANNTT!!The door lock outputs are low current and should not be attached direct-
ly to any high-current device; they are only to be used to activate relays
type A: positive (+) 12-volt pulse
The system can control Type A door locks directly, with no additional parts. The switch
will have three wires on it; one will test (+)12 volt constantly. The others will alternate-
ly pulse (+)12 volt 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 pulse (+)12 volt alter-
nately on lock and unlock, make sure that it is not a Type C direct-wire system.
Here is a test:
Cut the wire that pulses (+)12 volt on lock, and then operate the switch to unlock.
■If all doors unlock, the vehicle uses type A system.
■If you lose all door lock operation in both directions, you are operating the mas-
ter switch in a Type C system.
■If you lose all door lock operation of one or more, but not all motors, 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.
IIMMPPOORRTTAANNTT!!Remember that these wires' functions reverse between Type A and Type B.

type B: negative (-) pulse
This system is common in many Toyotas, Nissans, Hondas, and Saturns, as well as
Fords with keyless entry systems (some other Fords also use Type B). Most European
Ford vehicles with (-) negative pulse locking are high current so a 451M or 2 relays
need to be used.
The switch will have three wires on it, and one wire will test ground all the time. One
wire will pulse negative (-) when the switch locks the doors, and the other wire will
pulse negative (-) when the switch unlocks the doors. This type of system is difficult to
mistake for any other type.
IIMMPPOORRTTAANNTT!!Remember that these wires' functions reverse between Type A and Type B.

www.directed.com
12
type C: reversing polarity
Interfacing with a reversing polarity system requires either two relays or one DEI
451M (not included). It is critical to identify the proper wires and locate the master
switch to interface the door locks properly. Locate wires that show voltage on lock and
unlock. Cut one of the suspected 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 in both directions and the other
switch works in only one direction, you have a Type A system. If both switches still
operate, but one or more doors has 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 has been identified, cut both wires and interface as
shown in the following diagram.
IIMMPPOORRTTAANNTT!!If these wires are not connected properly, you will send (+) 12 volt
directly to (-) ground, possibly damaging the alarm or the factory switch.
IIMMPPOORRTTAANNTT!!Do not connect the outputs of the alarm directly to the actuator.

© 2006 directed electronics 13
type D: after-market actuators
In order for this system to control one or more after-market actuators, a DEI 451M or
two relays (optional) are required. Vehicles without factory power door locks require
the installation of one actuator per door. This requires mounting the door lock actua-
tor inside the door. Other vehicles may only require one actuator installed in the dri-
ver's door if all door locks are operated when the driver's lock is used.
The fuse used on 12 volt inputs should be 7.5A per motor installed in the vehicle.

www.directed.com
14
type E: mercedes-benz and audi (1985 & newer)
Type E door locks are controlled by an electrically activated vacuum pump. Some
Mercedes and Audis 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 (+)12 volt 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 up to 1993 and 1 second pulse 1994 or newer.

© 2006 directed electronics 15
type F: one-wire system
Type F door locks usually require a negative pulse to unlock and cutting the wire to
lock the door. In some vehicles, these functions are reversed. Type F door locks are
found in late-model Nissan Sentras, some Nissan 240SX, and Nissan 300ZX 1992-
up. They are also found in some Mazda MPVs, some Mitsubishis, and Lotus.
One relay (optional) is used to interface to this type of system as follows:

www.directed.com
16
type G: positive (+) multiplex
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.
Single-Resistor Type
If one resistor is used in the door lock switch/key cylinder, the wire will pulse (+)12
volt in one direction and less than (+)12 volt when operated in the opposite direction.
Two-Resistor Type
If two resistors are used in the factory door lock switch/key cylinder, the switch/key
cylinder will read less than (+)12 volt in both directions.

© 2006 directed electronics 17
type H: negative (-) multiplex
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.
Single-Resistor Type
If one resistor is used in the door lock switch/key cylinder, the wire will pulse ground
in one direction and resistance to ground when operated in the opposite direction.
Two-Resistor Type
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.
