Primary Harness Wiring Instructions
This guide describes in detail the connection of each wire. Also included are possible applications
of each wire. This system was designed with the ultimate in flexibility and security in mind. Many
of the wires have more than one possible function. Please read the instructions carefully to ensure a
thorough understanding of this unit and how it operates.
H1/1 ORANGE (-) ground-when-armed output
This wire supplies a (-) ground as long as the system is armed. This output ceases as soon as the
system is disarmed. The orange wire is pre-wired to control the 8618 starter kill relay. It can supply
up to 500 mA of current.
NOTE: If connecting the H1/1 ORANGE wire to control another module, such as a P/N 529T or
P/N 530T window module, a 1 amp diode (type 1N4004) will be required. (See following diagram.)
H1/2 WHITE (+/-) selectable light flash output
As shipped, the H1/2 WHITE wire should be connected to the (+) parking light wire. If the light
flash polarity jumper near the main plug is moved to the opposite position (see the Programming
Jumper section of this installation 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
models.
IMPORTANT! Never interrupt any wire other than the starter wire.

H1/3 WHITE/BLUE 200 mA (-) channel 3 programmable output
This wire provides a (-) 200 mA output whenever the transmitter button(s) controlling channel
three is pressed. This output can be programmed to provide the following types of output (see
System Features Learn Routine section of this guide):
➤➤A vvaalliiddiittyyoutput will send a signal as long as the transmission is received.
➤➤A llaattcchheeddoutput will send a signal continuously when the channel three button(s) is pressed and
released. The signal will continue until channel three is pressed again.
➤➤A llaattcchheedd//rreesseettwwiitthhiiggnniittiioonnoutput works similar to the latched output, but will also reset
(output will stop) when the ignition is turned on and then off. This output can also be shut off
at any time by pressing the transmitter button that controls Channel 3 again.
➤➤A 3300sseeccoonnddttiimmeeddoutput will send a signal for 30 seconds when channel three is pressed. This
output can be shut off during the 30-second period by pressing Channel 3 again.
➤➤This output can also be programmed to provide a sseeccoonndduunnlloocckkppuullsseewhen the disarm button
is pressed within 15 seconds after disarming the system. This can be used to unlock the
passenger doors when installing progressive door locks.
IMPORTANT! Never use this wire to drive anything but a relay or a low-current input!
This transistorized output can only supply 200 mA, and connecting directly to a
solenoid, motor, or other high-current device will cause the module to fail.

www.clifford.com 7
H1/4 BLACK/WHITE (-) 200 mA domelight supervision output
Connect the H1/4 wire to the optional domelight supervision relay as shown in the following
diagram:
H1/5 GREEN (-) door trigger input, zone 3
Most vehicles use negative door trigger circuits. Connect the green wire to a wire showing ground
when any door is opened. In vehicles with factory delays on the domelight circuit, there is usually
a wire unaffected by the delay circuitry. This wire will report Zone 3.
H1/6 BLUE (-) instant trigger, zone 1
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 1. It can also be used with 506T Glass Breakage Sensor, as well as other
Directed single stage sensors. The H1/6 BLUE instant trigger wire can be used to shunt sensors
during operation, using the auxiliary channels. When any of the auxiliary channels are transmitted,
the H1/6 BLUE wire monitors for a ground. If a ground is detected within 5 seconds of trans-
mission, the sensors and the instant 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.)
IMPORTANT! 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.

H1/7 VIOLET (+) door trigger input, zone 3
This type of dome circuit is used in many Ford products. Connect the violet wire to a wire that
shows (+)12V when any door is opened, and ground when the door is closed. This wire will report
Zone 3.
H1/8 BLACK (-) chassis ground connection
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.
H1/9 YELLOW (+) ignition input, zone 5
Connect this wire to the (+)12V ignition wire. This wire is pre-wired to the starter kill relay and
must show (+)12V with the key in Run position and during cranking. Take great care that this wire
cannot be shorted to the chassis at any point. This wire will report Zone 5.

www.clifford.com 9
H1/10 BROWN (+) siren output
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.
H1/11 RED (+)12V constant power input
Before connecting this wire, remove the supplied fuse. Connect to the battery positive terminal or
the constant 12V supply to the ignition switch.
NOTE: Always use a fuse within 12 inches of the point you obtain (+)12V. Do not use the 15 fuse
in the harness for this purpose. This fuse protects the module itself.
H1/12 RED/WHITE 200 mA (-) channel 2 output
When the system receives the code controlling channel 2 for longer than 1.5 seconds, the red/white
will supply 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 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.

For detailed instructions on wiring the vehicle’s door locks, please refer to the Door Lock Wiring
Guide (DDooccuummeennttNNoo..11004411) provided on the wwwwww..ddiirreecctteecchhss..ccoommwebsite or through DDiirreeccttFFaaxx
11-880000-999999-11FFAAXX((11332299)).
Plug-In Harnesses
Super Bright LED, 2-Pin White Plug
The super bright LED operates at 2V DC. Make sure the LED wires are not shorted to ground as
the LED will be damaged. Multiple LEDs can be used, but they must be wired in series. The LED
can be top-mounted or flush-mounted. If top-loading the LED with a bezel, the LED fits into a
5
/ 16 -inch mounting hole. If flush-mounting the LED from the back of a panel, drill a mounting hole
using a
17
/ 64 -inch drill bit. Be sure to check for clearance prior to drilling the mounting hole.
Valet/Program Switch, 2-Pin Blue Plug
The Valet/Program switch should be accessible from the driver’s seat. It plugs into the blue port on
the side of the unit. Since the system features Valet by using the remote transmitter, the switch can
be well hidden. Consider how the switch will be used before choosing a mounting location. Check

for rear clearance before drilling a
9
/ 32 -inch hole and mounting the switch.The GRAY wire in the
two-pin plug may also be used as a (+) Ghost switch input and can be connected to any (+) switch
in the vehicle. (See Feature Descriptions section of this guide.)
Programmer Interface, 3-Pin Black Plug
The black three pin port is provided for either a DEI Bitwriter (P/N 998T) or a personal computer
using a PC interface (P/N 996T) to program the unit. When using the Directed Bitwriter or
optional PC Interface Module (P/N 996T) it is possible to configure any or all of the programmable
functions. The PC Interface Module works with an IBM compatible PC. (The 998T does not
require the IBM compatible PC.) For more information please refer to the guide packaged with the
programmer. This port can also be used to interface the Valet Car*Com (Directed P/N 820T) with
the security system.
Shock Sensor Harness, 4-Pin White Plug
RED, BLACK
These wires supply constant 12 volts and ground to the shock sensor. Do not use these wires for
anything except the plug-in shock sensor.
ORANGE (-) Multiplex Input
Inputs shorter than 0.8 seconds will trigger the Warning Zone response, while inputs longer than
0.8 seconds will trigger full alarm sequence and report zone two.
BLUE (-) Multiplex Input
Inputs shorter than 0.8 seconds will trigger the Warning Zone response, while inputs longer than
0.8 seconds will trigger full alarm sequence and report zone four. If installing an optional Directed
dual stage sensor, connect to the blue wire as shown in the following diagram. The following
diagram indicates how to add an optional Directed dual stage sensor to the blue wire (zone 4) and
eliminates the need for diodes to isolate the sensors, as well as providing a separate zone for each
sensor.

Programming Jumper
Light Flash 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 WHITE wire, H1/2. In the (-) position, the on-
board relay is disabled. The WHITE wire, H1/2, will supply a 200 mA (-) output suitable for
driving factory parking light relays.
NOTE: For parking light circuits that draw 10 amps or more, the 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.
Bypassing Sensor Inputs
There are times when you need to temporarily bypass all sensor inputs to the unit, such as when
remote starting the vehicle. Anytime an auxiliary channel output is used, all inputs are bypassed for

www.clifford.com 13
5 seconds. During the 5 second bypass period, ground can be supplied to the H1/6 Blue wire
without triggering the unit. When the 5 second bypass period ends, if the unit sees ground on the
H1/6 Blue wire, all trigger inputs except the door trigger input will remain bypassed until 5 seconds
after ground is removed from the BLUE wire. This can be done using the status output of a Directed
Electronics remote engine starting unit as shown in the following diagram:
System Features Learn Routine
The System Features Learn Routine dictates how the unit operates. Due to the number of steps,
they have been broken up into two menus. It is possible to access and change any of the feature
settings using the Valet/Program switch. However, this process can be greatly simplified by using the
optional Directed Bitwriter or Personal Computer Interface, P/N 996T. Any of the settings can be
changed and then assigned to a particular transmitter, up to four, a feature called Owner
Recognition. Each time that particular transmitter is used to disarm the system, the assigned feature
settings will be recalled. Owner Recognition is only possible when programming the unit via the
996T or the 998T Directed Bitwriter.
If using the Directed Bitwriter or PC Interface to program System Features Code Learning,
you may lock the unit so that the features cannot be altered via manual programming with
the Valet switch. If you later wish to program the system manually, you must unlock the unit using
the Directed Bitwriter or PC Interface before you will be able to reprogram the features. If the siren
generates one long chirp when attempting to program the unit, this indicates that the unit has been
locked and must be unlocked with the Bitwriter or PC Interface before proceeding.

3. SSeelleeccttaaMMeennuu..Press and HOLD the Valet/Program switch: (The
Valet/Program switch must be plugged into the blue port.) After three seconds
the siren will chirp once indicating entry to the Basic Features Menu #1. If this
is the menu you wish to access, release the button and go on to Step 4. If the
button is not released, you will jump to the Advanced Features Menu #2 and
the siren will chirp twice. Once you have selected the desired menu, release the
Valet/Program button and then proceed to Step 4.
4. SSeelleeccttaaFFeeaattuurree..Press and release the Valet/Program switch the number of
times corresponding to the feature you wish to change. For example, to access
the third feature, press and release the switch three times. Then press the switch
once more and HOLD it. The siren will chirp the number of times equal to
the step you have accessed.
5. PPrrooggrraammtthheeFFeeaattuurree..While HOLDING the Valet/Program switch, you can
toggle the feature on and off using the remote transmitter. Pressing
will select the one chirp setting. Pressing will select the two chirp setting.
(See System Features Menus section of this guide.)
NOTE: The Valet pulse count feature (2-5) and the Channel three timed
output (2-9) have five possible settings each. Pressing will toggle through
all the possible settings.

Once a feature is programmed:
➤➤Other features can be programmed within the same menu.
➤➤Another menu can be selected.
➤➤The learn routine can be exited if programming is complete.
To access another feature in the same menu:
1. Press and release the Valet/Program switch the number of times necessary to advance from the
feature you just programmed to the next one you want to program.
2. Then press the Valet/Program switch once more and HOLD it.
For example, if you just programmed the third feature in the menu and you would like to program
the seventh feature in the menu, you would press and release the Valet/Program switch four times

www.clifford.com 15
and then press it once more and HOLD it. The siren would chirp seven times to confirm access to
the seventh feature.
To select another menu:
1. Press and HOLD the Valet/Program switch.
2. After three seconds, the unit will advance to the next menu and the siren will chirp, indicating
which menu has been accessed.
For instance, if you just programmed some features in Menu #1 (Basic Features) and you wish to
program a feature in Menu #2, you press and HOLD the Valet/Program button. After three
seconds, the siren chirps twice indicating access to Menu #2.
To exit the learn routine do one of the following:
➤➤Close the open door.
➤➤Turn the ignition on.
➤➤No activity for longer than 15 seconds.
➤➤Press the Valet/Program switch too many times.

Feature Descriptions
The features of the system are described below. Features that have additional settings that can be
selected only when programming with the PC interface or Bitwriter are indicated by the following
icon:
Menu #1 - Basic Features
1-1 ACTIVE/PASSIVE ARMING: When active arming is selected, the system will only arm when
the transmitter is used. When set to passive, the system will arm automatically 30 seconds after the
last door is closed. To alert the consumer of passive arming, the siren will chirp 20 seconds after the
door is closed. This provides the consumer with an audible warning prior to the system actually
arming. At the 30 second mark, the system will arm but the siren will not chirp.
1-2 CHIRPS ON/OFF: This feature controls the chirps that confirm the arming and disarming of
the system.
1-3 IGNITION CONTROLLED DOOR LOCKS ON/OFF: When turned on, the doors will
lock three seconds after the ignition is turned on and unlock when the ignition is turned off.
The TechSoft Programmer (P/N 996T) or the Bitwriter (P/N 998T) will display separate steps for
ignition lock and ignition unlock. They can be programmed on or off independently.

2-7 Ignition-controlled domelight ON Ignition-controlled domelight OFF
2-8 Single unlock pulse Double unlock pulse
2-9 Channel 3: Validity Channel 3: latched/latched, reset
with ignition/30-second timed/
second unlock output

www.clifford.com 17
1-4 ACTIVE/PASSIVE LOCKING: If passive arming is selected in step 1-1, then the system can be
programmed to either lock the doors when passive arming occurs, or only lock the doors when the
system is armed via the transmitter. Active locking means the system will not lock the doors when
it passively arms. Passive locking means that the system will lock the doors when it passively arms.
NOTE: When passive arming is selected, the unit will chirp 20 seconds after the last door is closed.
The system does not actually arm or lock the doors until 30 seconds after the door has been closed.
1-5 PANIC WITH IGNITION ON: This step controls whether or not the Panic Mode is available
with the ignition on. In some states, there are laws prohibiting a siren from sounding in a moving
vehicle. This feature makes the system compliant with these regulations.
1-6 DOOR LOCK PULSE DURATION: Some European vehicles, such as Mercedes-Benz and
Audi, require longer lock and unlock pulses to operate the vacuum pump. Programming the system
to provide 3.5 second pulses, will accommodate the door lock interface in these vehicles. The default
setting is 0.8 second door lock pulses.
1-7 FORCED PASSIVE ARMING ON/OFF: To use this feature, passive arming must be selected in
step 1-1. When turned on, forced passive arming will ensure that the system will passively arm, even
if a zone is left open or invalid. Forced passive arming occurs one hour after the ignition is turned off.
1-8 AUTOMATIC ENGINE DISABLE (AED) ON/OFF: AED is a full-time, passive starter disable
that functions independent of the security system. When turned on the H1/1 ORANGE ground-
when-armed output will activate 30 seconds after the ignition is turned off. The LED will flash at
half its normal rate when the ignition is turned off to indicate that AED is active and will interrupt
the starter in 30 seconds. AED does not occur in Valet mode and can be bypassed using the
emergency override procedure. The transmitter can be used to disarm AED; however, the system
must be armed and then disarmed with the transmitter, in order to disarm AED.
1-9 ARMED WHILE DRIVING/VEHICLE RECOVERY SYSTEM: In the default setting (Armed
While Driving), the system can be armed with the ignition on. When armed, the ground-when-
armed is not active and the sensors are bypassed. The door triggers will remain active. If
programmed to the Vehicle Recovery System (VRS) setting, VRS will be activated.
1-10 ANTI-CODE GRABBING ON/OFF: The system uses a mathematical formula to change its
code each time the transmitter and receiver communicate. This makes the group of bits or “word”
from the transmitter very long. The longer the word is, the easier it is to block its transmission to
the unit. Disabling this feature lets the receiver ignore the Anti-Code Grabbing part of the trans-
mitted word. As a result, the unit may have better range with the Anti-Code Grabbing feature off.

Menu #2 - Advanced Features
2-1 SIREN/HORN HONK: The system can be programmed to output pulses instead of a
continuous output when the system is triggered. This is useful to honk the factory horn in applica-
tions where a siren is undesirable. Remember that the unit is only capable of supplying 1 amp of
current. A relay will be required to interface with most factory horn systems.
2-2 SIREN DURATION 30/60 SECONDS: It is possible to program the unit to sound for
30 or 60 seconds during the triggered sequence. Some states have laws regulating how long
a security system can sound. When using the TechSoft Programmer or Bitwriter, the siren can be
programmed to sound for any length of time ranging from 1 to 180 seconds. Use the right and left
arrows or the + and - keys on your keyboard to change the siren duration in 1 second intervals.
Holding down the key will rapidly increase or decrease the setting. The desired siren duration can
also be directly entered by using the number keys on your computer's keyboard. When using the
Bitwriter, pressing the SELECT button will adjust the siren duration.
2-3 FALSE ALARM CONTROL TECHNOLOGY (FACT) ON/OFF: FACT stops repeated
triggering of the same zone. If one zone is triggered three times in one hour, that zone is bypassed
for one hour, starting from the time of the third trigger. During that hour, if the system detects a
trigger on that zone again, the system resets the one hour timer. If one hour passes and the zone has
not triggered again, the zone is activated and can trigger the system again. FACT monitors sensor
inputs and door triggers, but does not bypass the ignition trigger at any time. If FACT is turned off,
the system will respond to repeated triggers on the sensor inputs and will do so indefinitely. Some
states have laws regulating how many times a security system can trigger before it is considered a
nuisance and the vehicle is towed away.
2-4 PROGRESSIVE DOOR TRIGGER ON/OFF: The security system responds to a door trigger
input with a progressive response. When the door is opened with the system armed, the siren will
chirp 10 times prior to the full triggered sequence. The door trigger is still treated as an instant
trigger and closing the door quickly will not prevent a full triggered sequence from occurring. If the
progressive door trigger is programmed off, the full siren output will occur the moment the door is
opened.
2-5 VALET PULSE COUNT 1 to 5 PULSES: The security system can be programmed to count the
number presses of the valet switch before disarming the security system or VRS. The factory default
setting is one pulse. The unit can be set for 2 to 5 pulses using the two-chirp setting to select the
pulse count. GGhhoossttSSwwiittcchhooppttiioonn::For added security, the GRAY wire on the two-pin
Valet/Program can be connected to any switch in the vehicle that provides a positive (+) momentary
pulse.

www.clifford.com 19
2-6 DOOR TRIGGER ERROR CHIRP ON/OFF: With the door trigger error chirp programmed
off, the system will not report an invalid zone on arming when the door trigger wire is active. This
eliminates the extra chirps that occur when interfacing with vehicles that have exceptionally long
dome light delay circuits.
2-7 IGNITION-CONTROLLED DOMELIGHT SUPERVISION ON/OFF: If turned on, the
system will turn on the domelight for 30 seconds when the ignition is turned off. The optional
domelight supervision feature must be installed.
2-8 DOUBLE PULSE UNLOCK ON/OFF: Some vehicles require two pulses on a single wire to
unlock the doors. When the double pulse unlock feature is turned on, the BLUE H2/C wire will
supply two negative pulses instead of a single pulse. At the same time, the GREEN H2/A wire will
supply two positive pulses instead of a single pulse. This makes it possible to directly interface with
double pulse vehicles without any extra parts.
2-9 CHANNEL 3 VALIDITY/LATCHED/LATCHED RESET WITH IGNITION/30 SECOND
TIMED/SECOND UNLOCK OUTPUT: Channel 3 can be programmed for these output configu-
rations. The unit is set to the default validity output. To change the configuration, use the two-chirp
setting to toggle to the different configurations. (Refer to the H1/3 WHITE/BLUE wire description
in the Primary Harness (H1) Wire Connection Guide section of this guide.)
Transmitter/Receiver Learn Routine
The system comes with two transmitters that have been taught to the receiver. The receiver can store
up to four different transmitter codes in memory. Use the following learn routine to add trans-
mitters to the system or to change button assignments if desired.
If the Directed Bitwriter or PC Interface has previously been used to program the system,
the unit may have been locked, so that the features and channels cannot be altered via
manual programming with the Valet switch. If the siren generates one long chirp when attempting
to program the transmitter/receiver, this indicates that the unit is locked. You must unlock it with
the Bitwriter or PC Interface before you will be able to manually program the transmitter/receiver.
NOTE: The transmitters cannot be programmed using the Bitwriter or the PC Interface.
