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.

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
