PRE-INSTALLATIONCONSIDERATIONS
BEFORE BEGINNING,check all vehiclemanufacturer cautionsandwarnings regardingelectricalservice (AIR BAGS, ABS
BRAKES, ENGINE / BODYCOMPUTER AND BATTERY).
PLANOUT YOUR INSTALLATION anddeterminemost suitablelocationsfor all components to be placed. These components
include: themoduleitself, valet/program button, possible relays, and antenna/receiver (RS-1, RS-3 and RS-4 only, the RS-00
model does not include antennaor remotes.) Allow enoughwire to create a service loop withstrainrelief, should servicing be
required. This will also allow easier access and mounting.
DAMAGE to the CoolStart unit resulting from incorrect installation or failure to follow guidelines stated in thisbook will not be
covered under warranty and will be subject to repair or replacement charges.
USE AVOLTOHM METER to test and locate all connections. Test Lights candamage a vehicle’s computer systems.

“SMART TACHLESS”MODE
Your CoolStart systemincludesaunique voltage monitor called “SmartTachless”mode.Thismode allowsthisunitto
efficientlystart an engine withoutthe useofatachsignalwire.Thesemodulesactivelymonitor the voltage levelofthe
vehicletocontrolthe starter motor eachtimearemotestart isrequested.
IMPORTANTNOTES:
(1)SETUPmaybe required for the CoolStart“SmartTachless”Mode.Ifyour vehiclehasnotbeen atrestfor aperiod of
time(Hotengine),thenyoumustdrainthesurfacechargefromthebattery.Unplugmainpowerharnessfromunit,turn
HEADLIGHTSONfor 4minutestodrainoff excess surfacecharge on vehicle’sbatterythen reconnect.
(2)Onthe rare occasion that“SmartTachless”mode doesnotoperatesatisfactorily,change the voltage referencelevel
asdescribed below, or useadifferent mode suchas“Tach” mode, or “Timed Crank”mode.
“SMARTTACHLESS”ADJUSTMENT:
Inthe event“SmartTachless”over-cranksor under-cranksyour starter,the settingscan be changed.The purposeof
adjusting the “SmartTachless”Mode istoraiseor lower the voltage referencethresholdfromthe 93%defaultpoint.
Raisingorloweringthis93%pointshouldincreaseordecreaseyourcrankingtimerespectively.Theadjustmentrangeis
from79%to100%inone percent increments. Followstepsbelowtoadjust the referencelevel.
1.Open hood (or ground Grayhood pinwire if no hood pinisinstalled)
2.Turn the keytothe ONposition (Pinkwire must be connected!)
3.Press programbutton 5times, after afewsecondsthe unit will flashthe lightsand/or honkhorn 5times.
4.Carefullypress the programbutton 21timestogettooptionlevel21.Youmustgetalightflashand/orhornhonkafter
eachpress. If the lightsdidn’tflashand/or horn doesnothonk,then the unitdidnotregister your button press.Only
count the light flashand/or horn honk.
5.PresstheLockButton#1ontheremotetodecreaseby1%(lightswillflashand/orhornhonk1Xforeachpress);Press
the UnlockButton #2 toincreaseby1%(lightswill flashand/or honkhorn 2Xfor eachpress);Press the TrunkButton

the top (100%)ofthe adjustmentrange.Ifyou losttrack,then justpress Button #3 toresetbackto93%and begin
raising or lower again.
6.Turn Ignition OFF, Closehood (or un-ground the Grayhood pinwire) and checkoperation.
NOTE:ThisSmartTachless adjustmentfeatureisnotavailableon theRS-00 Modelthat has no remote
transmittersorantenna.Ifyou must use thisfeatureon aRS-00,thenaremote and anantennamodulefroman
RS-3 orRS-4 must beusedtoset thedesiredlevel. Once programmed, remove antenna.

TACH FINDER&USEFUL TIPS
TACH FINDERMODE:
ThisTachFinder mode can assistinlocating aTachsourcefor your installation.When following the steps,the unitwill
begintoflashthe parking lightsifyou havethe Red/Whitewire connected toatachsource.Iflightsdo notflash,then try
another wire until you locateatachsignalthatwill causethe Parking lightstoflash.NOTE:Onsomevehiclesequipped
withdaytimerunning lights,itmaybe difficulttosee anyflashing parking lights.Inthiscaseyour onlynotification will be
the slight “ticking” sound coming fromthe module’sflashing light relay.
TACH FINDERSTEPS:
1.Open hood (or ground Grayhood pinwire if no hood pinisinstalled)
2.Start Engine withthe key. (Pinkwire must be connected!)
3.Press the Programbutton for 2seconds
4.Lightswill beginflashing if the Red/Whitewire isconnected toavalidtachsource. If not tryadifferent tachwire.
5.OnceTachislocated then turn off engine and closehood toabort (RemoveGrayhood pinwire fromground).
6.Nowfollowthe TachProgramming steps.
TACH FINDERTIP:ColdWeather/ High IdleSimulation:
The tachfinder mode can alsobe used tohelpdetermine howyour CoolStart systemmayoperateinacoldweather
situation. Onceyou haveavalidtachsourceprogrammed intoyour system, followtest stepsbelow.
1.Gointothe tachfinder mode.
2.You shouldhaveaconsistent light flash(likedirectionalor emergencyflashers).
3.Slowlyraisethe RPMlevelon your vehicletosimulatea“warm-up idle” that ishigher than the normalidlelevel.
If and when the lightsSTOPflashing. Meansthat thisisthe point at whichthe tachsignalisout of range of the
system.
4.Werecommend that you bring the RPMlevelup tobetween 1000 and 1500 RPMstosimulateacoldmorning
idle.
5.If the lightsstop flashing too quickly, then werecommend using another tachsource. Thismayhelpprevent
the engine fromstarting and stalling inthe morning or coldweather.

TACH PROGRAMMING&TACH SIGNALS
INTRODUCTION
Tachsignalswillvaryinlevelsandfrequenciesdependingonmanyfactorsincludingthetypeofvehicleandthesourceof
the signal.The signalsfromavehicle’sinjector wire and coil packwire can varygreatlyeven on the sameengine.The
tachsignalfroman engine can alsobe affected byother sourcessuchaselectronicnoisefromthe ignition or computer
modules.RecentimprovementshavebeenmadetothecircuitrytoallowthisCoolStartsystemtosenseawiderrangeof
tachsignalsthan previousmodels.
TACH MODE
The Tachmode providesreliableremotestarting performancethrough engine speed(RPM)sensing.WhenusingTach
ReferenceMode,the Red/Whitewire isused for Tachsignal[Engine RPM]input. Mostmodernenginesincludevarious
pointswheretheEngineSpeed[Tach]orA/Csignalmaybeobtained.TachSignalexamples:Negative(-)sideofignition
coil,atthe Distributor or Ignition ControlModule,Coil Pack,Engine Computer,or Crankshaft Sensor.SometimesFuel
injectors,and Alternator stator pinscan be used.TheseTachSignallocationsmentioned are provided asaguide.Your
vehiclemaydiffer. Somelocationswill NOTbe agood location for Tachsourcedue toRFnoiseor Computer Data.
TACH PROGRAMMING:
1.Open hood (or ground Grayhood pinwire if no hood pinisinstalled.)
2.Red Whitewire shouldbe connected toavalidTachsource.
3.Start engine withkey. (Pinkwire must be connected!)
4.Press programbutton 5times, then wait for 5light flashesand/or 5horn honks.
5.Pushprogrambutton oncemore. (You must get one light flashand/or honkafter button ispressed.)Thisunit is
nowat option #1-TachLearning.
6.Press the #1 LockButton on remotetransmitter. The unit will read the Tachsourceand flashthe lightsand or
honkoncefor programconfirmation. (OnRS1300DPII modelswithout remotetransmitters, press the brakepedal
inthisstep.)
7.If lightsdo not flashfor confirmation, then tryanother tachsourceor trythe tachfinder tolocateanother wire
EXAMINING THE TACH FREQUENCYWITH ADIGITAL MULTI-METER
If youownaDigitalMulti-Meter meter withafrequency counter setting, itcanbe helpfulto measureandresearchtherange oftach
signalfrom yourparticular engine. Whenprobingyourchosentachwire, observe thefrequencyreadingfrom themeterat boththe
warm/low engineidleandcold/high engineidlepoints. Tachsignalsrangingbetween70Hzand700Hzare desired. If yourtach
wire has readings that are not inthisrange, theunitmay not operate properly. Thefrequency of thetachwire inthisrange does
not guarantee operation.If youcannot locate agood tachsource from yourengine, thenyoucanswitchyourCoolStartsystemto
the “Smart Tachless” or “Timed Crank”.

2.With“Timed Crank”turned ON,you will STILL havetoconnectthe Red WhiteTachwire toatachsourceon the
engine. The Red/WhiteTachwire becomesasimple“Engine Monitor”. Although the unit will not be using the Red
Whitewire tostartthe motor,itwill be using thiswire todetermine whether the motor isrunning or not. Thisisa
mandatoryconnection. A“crude” or “less exact”tachsourcecan be used onlywhen in“TimeCrank”mode.
3.Using the vehiclekey, start the engine afewtimestogeta“feel”ofhowlong the cranking timeis.Oncethe “Timed
