primary harness wiring guide
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 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.
h1/2 and h1/11 brown speaker outputs
Connect the BROWN output wires to the BROWN wires of the 518C.
h1/3 gray (-) hood input zone 6
Connect this wire to the hood pin. If the hood is open when the alarm is armed, this
wire will trigger the siren.

© 2004 directed electronics, inc. 5
h1/5 green/white (-) normally closed zone 6
This wire will trigger the alarm if it looses its normally closed ground. Remove this wire
from the ground wire and attach it to a normally grounded item you wish to protect
such as the back of your stereo.
h1/6 white/blue (-) accessory b output (200mA)
This wire produces a 200mA output when activated by the remote control and can be
used to operate a variety of accessories. All accessory outputs can be programmed to
different types of outputs. Please see Programming Note #6.
h1/7 blue (-) trunk trigger input - zone 5
This input will respond to a negative input with an instant trigger. Connect to (-) trunk
pins and it 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.
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.

www.directed.com
6
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.
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
Connect the H1/15 BLACK/WHITE wire to the vehicle domelight circuit trigger wire.
h1/16 red/white accessory a 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. All accessory outputs can be pro-
grammed to different types of outputs. Please see Programming Note #6.
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.

immobilizer harness wire connection guide
immobilizer harness wiring
Locate the ignition and starter wires using a multimeter. Cut the appropriate wire and
attach the key side and car side wires to the corresponding wires on the four-pin
immobilizer harness.
NNOOTTEE::The diagram below shows the module side of the connector (looking into the
female pins).
ultrasecure immobilizer
The UltraSecure immobilizer circuit in this G5 system is a unique new design that
incorporates the immobilizer security of Clifford without the possibility of failure due
to power loss that could potentially strand the user. The level of security can be set by
leaving in or removing the jumper located next to the immobilizer wires exiting the
module.
immobilizer jumper setting
jumper in setting
When the jumper is in, the ignition and starter signal will bypass the UltraSecure
immobilizer circuitry and allow the vehicle start and run, even if power has not been
restored to the module.
jumper out setting
When the jumper is out, the UltraSecure immobilizer circuitry prevents the ignition
and starter signal from passing and keeps the vehicle immobilized until power has

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.
Cut the wire that pulses (+)12 volt on lock, and then operate the switch to unlock.
zIf all doors unlock, the vehicle uses type A system.
zIf you lose all door lock operation in both directions, you are operating the mas-
ter switch in a Type C system.
zIf 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.

© 2004 directed electronics, inc. 11
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.

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.

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.

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.

© 2004 directed electronics, inc. 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.

© 2004 directed electronics, inc. 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.

peripheral plug-in harnesses
super bright blue led, 2-pin white plug
The super bright LED operates at (+) 2V DC. Make sure the LED wires are not short-
ed 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.
plain-view valet
The Valet/Program switch should be accessible from the driver’s seat. It plugs into the
blue port on the side of the unit. The switch is coded for protection so it need not be
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.
sensor harness, 4-pin connector
red and black wires
These wires supply 12 volts when the system is armed and ground to the sensor.
