Passenger Compartment Connections
Control Unit and Extended Range Receiver
The IntelliGuard 8000 control unit must be installed inside the vehicle. Under no circumsta nces should the unit
be installed under the hood or other similarly hostile environment.
1.Select an area behind the dash to mount the control unit using the supplied wire tires, but do not permanently affix it until all
wiring and testing is complete.
2. Plug the extended range receiver in to the control unit. Mount the extended range receiver away fr om the control unit and run
the antenna either up the window pillar and affix it to the windshield, or under the dash, away from metal. The position and
location of the receiver will effect remote control range. Do not fold the excess cable or antenna wire. Do not make hard, sharp
bends.
Door Trigger/Interior Light Supply
Please refer to theDoor Trigger/Interior Light Supply section in this binder for information on polarity testing and connections.
Central Door Locking System
Please refer to the Door Lockssection in this binder for information on circuit types and connections.
LED Status Indicator
Select a prominent location on the dash or console visible through all windows. Discuss placement with the owner.
1.Verify there is adequate space to accommodate the LED, then drill a 5/16” (8mm) hole and route the wires through it.
2. Mate the LED connectors to the VIOLET and BLACK wire connectors as shown in the diagram on page 3.
3.Press the LED into place.
PlainView 2 Coded Valet/Programming Switch
1.Discuss placement of the switch with the vehicle owner and avoid placing the switch where it can bepressed accidentally.
2.Verify there is adequate space behind the selected location to accommodate the switch.
3.Drill a 5/16” (8mm) mounting hole, then insert the wires through the hole.
4.Mate the switch’s locking connectors to the WHITE and BLACK locking connector.
5.Remove the adhesive backing and press the switch into place.
Remotely Adjustable Dual-Zone Proximity Sensor
This efficient new-generation proprietary radar sensor is immune to the wind and temperature variations that cause ultrasonic
sensors to false alarm. The sensor must be mounted onto a metal surface and face outward into the passenger compartment. It should
be positioned as close as possible to the center of the passenger compartment. Suggested mounting l ocations include within the
centre console, behind the dash, under the carpeting of the central hump or even in the headlining.When selecting a location, keep
in mind that metal as well as metallic paint, metallic-colored plastic and metal-laced window tint material will interfere with the
radar field. Be certain not to mount the sensor under a location where the vehicle owner may store coins, CDs or cassettes
(iron-oxide tape). The radar waves of the sensor willpass through nonmetallic materials such as plastic, fabric and carpet.
1.Temporarily affix the sensor where it will be mounted, but do not yet permanently mount it until after adjusting and testing
sensitivity (the sensor may need to be relocated, so do not permanently secure it until it has beenthoroughly tested).
2.Join the Proximity Sensor to the connector with the BLACK, WHITE/BLUE and RED wires.
Trunk Trigger
Vehicles with a ground-switching trunk light will interface directly with the IntelliGuard 8000 (onpositive switching vehicles, use a relay to
invert polarity). The switch may be located in or near the trunk latch or at the trunk light. If aswitch cannot be located, you must add a pin
switch in a location away from water channels.
NOTE: If the vehicle has a dashboard trunk ajar indicator, install a 1-amp diode between the light and switch
with the diode band pointing toward the switch.
1. Connect the GRAY/YELLOW wire to the trunk switch (between the diode and switch if you added a diode ).

Passenger Compartment Connections
Brake Switch
The brake switch connection is required for the operation of the IntelliGuard 8000’s anti-carjacking electronics.
1. Turn the ignition to the “ON” position and press the brake pedal to verify that the brake lights ar e operational.
2. Find the one wire that carries +12V when the brake pedal is pressed, then connect the BLUE/WHITE wire to this wire.
Parking Lights
See the Door Trigger/Parking light section in this binder.
Starter and Ignition Immobilization Circuits
1.Locate the ignition switch wireloom under the dash and use a voltmeter to locate the one wire that carries +12V throughout
BOTH the cranking AND engine running cycles, and 0 volts when the ignition is off.
2. Start the engine, then cut the ignition wire. The engine should stop running.
3.As shown on page 5, connect the WHITE/BROWN wire to the key sideof the cut ignition line.
4.Connect the GREEN/BLUE wire to the engine side of the cut ignition line.
5.Use a voltmeter to locate the one wire that carries +12V during the cranking cycle ONLY. Cut this wire, then try to start the
engine. It should not crank.
6. Connect the WHITE/GREEN wire to the key sideof the cut starter line.
7.Connect the WHITE/BLUE wire to the engine side of the cut starter line.
NOTE:Thestartercircuitmaycarryaveryhigh current.Be certainthat thestarter wireconnections are solid.
Auxilliary Output A with Selectable Output Type
The output (GRAY/VIOLET wire) can be programmed as either pulsed, latched or timed and can be progr ammed to operate only
when the system is disarmed (e.g., for use as a remote trunk release). The output is activated by transmitting channel 2 from the 16-
channel master remote control or by pressing the button on the companion remote. The factory setting is pulsed output (0.5
second ground). The latched output stays at ground until channel 2 is activated a second time, and the timed output stays at ground
for any selected duration between one second and four minutes. Current is limited to 0.15 amp. See Installer-Programmable Features
on
page 16 for information on programming the output type and/or disabling operation while the system is disarmed.
Auxilliary Output B with Selectable Output Type
The output (GRAY/BLUE wire) can be programmed as either pulsed, latched or timed and is activated by transmitting channel 7
from the 16-channel master remote control or by pressing the and ✱ buttons on the companion remote. The factory setting is
pulsed output (0.5 second ground). The latched output stays at ground until channel 7 is activateda second time, and the timed
output stays at ground for any selected duration between one second and four minutes. Current is limited to 0.15 amp. See
Installer-Programmable Featureson page 16 for information on programming the output type.
Auxilliary Output C with Selectable Output Type and AutoActivation
The output (GRAY/RED wire) can be programmed as either pulsed, latched, or timed and in addition, can also be programmed to
automatically activate every time the system is armed using the remote control. The output is activated by transmitting channel 8 from
the 16-channel master remote or by pressing and on the companion remote. Current is limited to 0.15 amp. AutoActivation is
perfect when programmed as a timed-output to close the power windows and sunroof on vehicles that h ave an all-close feature. See
Installer-Programmable Featureson page 16 for more information on programming output type and/or enabling the AutoActivation
feature.
Engine Bay Connections
High Output Medallion Siren
Mount the siren in the engine compartment away from hot or moving parts and where it cannot be reac hed from under the vehicle,
preferable opposite the exhaust system. Point the siren down to avoid water collection (see the il lustration).
1.You must firmly secure the siren to the engine bay firewall or an fender well using all three sheetmetal screws supplied.
2.Using the supplied connector, fasten the GRAY twinlead wire coming from the siren to the BLACKtwinlead from the 24-pin
connector on the control unit.
IntelliGuard 8000/2997

RPM Monitoring
This is required for both RPM-activated automatic door locking and for BlackJax anti-carjacking features. See the RPM Monitoring
section in this binder for information.
Hood Trigger
Vehicles with a ground-switching hood pin switch interface directly with IntelliGuard 8000 (on posi tive switching vehicles, use a relay to
invert polarity).If a switch cannot be located, you must add a pin switch in a location away from water channels.
1. Connect the WHITE/BLACK wire to the hood pin wire.
Final Wiring Connections
1.Connect the 18 AWG RED wire to the 5-amp fuseholder as shown on page 3.
2.Connect the 18 AWG RED/WHITE wire to the 20-amp fuseholder as shown on page 5.
3.Attach the two fuseholders to the battery positive cable clamp.
4.Attach the 18 AWG BLACK wireto the battery negative cable clamp.
NOTE:Power andtest accessoriesafter thebasic systemhasbeen tested.Individually fuseallaccessory power
connections. Individually fuse all +12V fuse panel connections.
SmartPowerUp™ 2
SmartPowerUp 2 ensures that the system powers up in the same state (disarmed, armed or valet mode) it was in when power was removed.
When you first power up the IntelliGuard 8000, it will silently enter the disarmed state.
Delayed Courtesy Lights
Some vehicles have a courtesy light delay or dimming circuit, which interferes with an alarm being able to detect the doortrigger upon
remote arming. If the delay or dimming lasts more than 5 seconds, no special connections or testingare needed,simply turn on the Delayed
Courtesy Lightsfeature as noted in the Installer-Programmable Featuressection on page 16. Please note that since this feature sets the
system to arm the instant the courtesy lights turn off, the Door Ajar Warning feature will not be a vailable.
Mandatory RPM Programming
NOTE:ThisMANDATORYprogramming stepmust becompletedfortheIntelliGuard8000tooperateproperly.
1.Drivethe vehicle to a nearby open area and allow the engine to warm-up until the RPMs drop to the norma l idle speed.
2. With the engine still running, place the transmission in Park (or Neutralif the vehicle has a manual transmission).
3. Enter the code of “2” valet code using the instructions provided in the Programmable Features on page 14. The LED will briefly
illuminate. Press and hold the ✱button for 10 seconds (you will hear one confirmation chirp after three seconds—do not stop
holding the button—continue holding the button until you hear a three-chirp confirmation). Releasethe button.
4.Press the unmarked button once. After a three-second pause, the system will sound one chirp to confirm column one sel ection
(see the Installer-Programmable Featuressection on page 16).
5.Press the ✱button five times (you will hear a chirp each time you press the button) to select row five. Aftera two-second pause,
you will hear two chirps to confirm idle RPM has been set (if you hear just one chirp, check the connection of the BLACK/GRAY
wire, then repeats steps 1 - 5).
6. Turn the ignition OFF.
Remote Control Operation
The IntelliGuard 8000 comes with two ergonomically designed remote controls: a 16-channel master remote and a 10-channel
secondary “companion” remote. Up to two more ACG 2 remote controls can be added to the IntelliGuard 8000 system. Due to the
ACG 2 feature on the IntelliGuard Series systems, older Clifford ACG and non-ACG remotes are not compatible with the
IntelliGuard 8000.

Companion Remote Control Operation
Sensor Adjustment
Digital Dual-Zone Proximity Sensor 4
The IntelliGuard 8000 is equipped with our unique Digital Dual-Zone Proximity Sensor that uses digital signal processing to detect
movement inside the passenger compartment and very near the vehicle. If a thief were to break a window and either enter or lean
into the passenger compartment, the primary zone of this sensor would trigger the full alarm. Howev er, if a thief brought his hands
and face to the window a warning tone would sound.
Be aware that the Proximity Sensor uses radar waves to detect movement. These waves pass through nonmetallic materials like
plastic, carpet, glass and wood. However, metal and metallic-colored paint, metallic-colored plasti c and even some metallic window
tinting materials will interfere with or completely block the radar waves. As such, it is not unusual that the Proximity Sensor zones
require some adjustment after installation. In some instances, you may need to try a different location for the sensor.
Since any metal objects above or near the Proximity Sensor will have a significant impact onoperation, warn
your customer never to place coins, CDs, cassettes (due to the iron oxide tape) or other metallic objects above
or near where the sensor is mounted.
1.Turn off any fluorescent lights that may interfere with the sensitivity testing of the IntelliGuard8000’s radar sensor.
2.Disarmthe system with the remote control.
3.Transmit channel 16on the master remote (LevelShift three times, then button 4). You will hear one chirp and the LED will turn on.
4. Test the Proximity Sensor’s primaryzone by rapidly leaning through an open window into the passenger compartment. You will
hear a siren chirp when the primary zone is triggered. This should not occur near the window, but instead when you would be in a
position to touch the car stereo.
To change the sensitivity of the primary zone, press and release button 2 to increasesensitivity or button 4 to decreasesensitivity.
To rapidly increase or decrease several steps, press and hold the button. For each sensitivity incr ease, you will hear a higher and
higher pitched confirmation chirp. For each sensitivity decrease, you will hear a lower and lower pitched confirmation chirp. Two
LoudChirps indicate minimum and maximum settings of the 32-step range of settings. You may now pres s button 3to adjust the
warning zone, or press button 1to fully exit the Proximity Sensor adjustment mode (you will hear 3 chirps).
