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 carefully to ensure a thorough under-
standing of this unit.
H1/1 RED/WHITE 200 mA output channel 2 (trunk release)
This output is often used for trunk release. Whenever the button(s) controlling channel two is
pressed for 1.5 seconds, this output is activated and will stay activated as long as the transmission
continues. Use an external relay to drive circuits requiring more current.
ORANGE (-) 500 mA Ground-When-Armed Output
WHITE (+)/(-) Selectable Light Flash Output
WHITE/BLUE (-) 200 mA Channel 3 Programmable Output
BLACK/WHITE Domelight Supervision Relay Output #30
GREEN (-) Door Trigger Input, Zone 3
BLUE (-) Instant Trigger Input (trunk input/shunt), Zone 1
VIOLET (+) Door Trigger Input, Zone 3
BLACK (-) Chassis Ground Input
YELLOW (+) Switched Ignition Input, Zone 5
BROWN (+) Siren Output
RED (+) Constant 12V Power Input (15A fused)

H1/2 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 A
fuse in the harness for this purpose. This fuse protects the module itself.
H1/3 BROWN (+) siren output
Connect this to the RED wire of the Revenger
®
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.
H1/4 YELLOW (+) ignition input
Connect this wire to the (+) 12 volts ignition wire. This wire must show (+) 12 volts with the key
in RUN position and during cranking. Take great care to ensure that this wire is not shorted to the
vehicle’s chassis at any point.
H1/5 BLACK (-) chassis ground connection
Connect this wire to a clean, paint-free sheet metal location (driver kick panel) using a factory bolt
that DOES NOT have any vehicle component grounds attached to it. A screw should only be used
when in conjunction with a two-sided lock washer. Under dash brackets and door sheet metal are
not acceptable ground points. It is recommended that all security components be grounded at the
same location.

H1/6 VIOLET (+) door trigger input
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. This wire will report Zone 3.
NOTE: If using a door trigger wire that has a delay, Advanced Menu 2, feature 6, or the 998T
Bitwriter
®
can be used to turn Bypass Notification off.
H1/7 BLUE (-) instant trigger input
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 Directed single-stage sensors. The H1/7
BLUE instant trigger wire can also be used to shunt sensors during operation of auxiliary channels
or remote start. (See Bypassing Sensor Inputs section of this guide.)

H1/8 GREEN (-) door trigger input
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. See DirectFax document 1076 for wiring instructions. This
wire will report Zone 3.
NOTE: If using a door trigger wire that has a delay, Advanced Menu 2, feature 6, or the 998T
Bitwriter
®
can be used to turn Bypass Notification off.
H1/9 BLACK/WHITE high current output from on-board domelight supervision relay
Connect this wire directly to the domelight circuit in the vehicle. The on-board relay will drive
circuits up to 20 amperes. The polarity of this output is determined by the connection of the input
wire H2/A in the Relay Harness.
NOTE: If the input wire H2/A is not connected, there will be no output on this wire.
H1/10 WHITE/BLUE 200 mA (-) channel 3 output
This wire provides a (-) 200 mA output whenever the transmitter button(s) controlling Channel 3
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 3 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.
➤➤A 3300((6600,,9900))sseeccoonnddttiimmeeddoutput 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.
The Bitwriter
TM
can program from 1 to 180 seconds.
➤➤RReemmootteessttaarrttoutput (refer to System Features Menu description for additional information).

H1/11 WHITE (+/-) 10 A parking light flash output
The H1/11 WHITE wire is factory configured for (+) parking lights. Refer to the Programming
Jumper section of this installation guide for changing configuration for (-) parking light.
NOTE: For parking light systems that draw 10 amps or more, the jumper must be switched to a
(-) light flash output (see the Programming Jumpers section of this guide). P/N 8617 or a standard
automotive SPDT relay must be used on the H1/11 light flash output wire.
H1/12 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. It can supply up to 500 mA of current. This wire is affected by one time bypass,
if One Time Bypass is programmed On.
NOTE: A dual diode harness assembly is provided (Viper model only) for European
vehicles which have parking light capability for illumination of only the parking lights on
the side of the vehicle to the road when parked.
IMPORTANT! DO NOT connect this wire to a negative vehicle light flash wire before
changing the programming jumper to the negative polarity position or damage to
vehicle light circuit may occur.
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.

Auxiliary Harness Wiring Instructions
H2/1 LIGHT BLUE (-) second unlock output (200mA)
This wire produces a (-) 200mA output for progressive locks in which the driver door unlocks first
and the remaining locks unlock with a second press of the unlock button.
H2/2 GREY (-) hood pin input, zone 6 This wire is connected to hood pinswitch. This will trigger
the security system if the hood is opened while the system is armed and report Zone 6. This input
can be programmed for N.O. or N.C. contact, refer to Systems Features Menus.
H2/3 ORANGE/BLACK (-) retained accessory output
NNOOTTEE: An additional relay (not supplied) is required for most applications.
Connect this wire to the accessory wire in the vehicle that powers the accessories in the vehicle. This
wire will retain power after the ignition key is turned off. This output ceases when a door is
open/closed or the system is armed.
H2/4 GRAY/BLACK (-) channel 6 output
This wire provides a (-) 200mA output whenever the transmitter button(s) controlling Channel 6
is pressed. This output can be programmed to provide the following types of outputs (see also the
Feature Menus section):
LIGHT GREEN/BLACK (-) Factory Disarm Output
LIGHT BROWN (-) Horn Honk Output
