PRE-INSTALLATIONCONSIDERATIONS
BEFOREBEGINNING,check all vehiclemanufacturercautionsand warningsregarding electricalservice(AIRBAGS,ABS
BRAKES,ENGINE/BODYCOMPUTERAND BATTERY).
PLAN OUTYOUR INSTALLATIONand determine mostsuitablelocationsforall componentstobe placed.Thesecomponents
include:the moduleitself, valet/programbutton,possiblerelays,and antenna/receiver(RS1301/3/4DP,1604TW1II,1704TW2II,
1804FMII only,the RS-1300DPII modeldoesnotinclude antenna orremotes.)Allowenough wiretocreateaserviceloop with
strainrelief, shouldservicing be required.Thiswill alsoalloweasieraccess and mounting.
DAMAGEtotheCoolStartunitresulting fromincorrectinstallation orfailuretofollowguidelinesstated inthisbookwill notbe
covered underwarrantyand will be subjecttorepairorreplacementcharges.
USE AVOLT OHMMETERtotestand locateall connections.TestLightscan damage avehicle’scomputersystems.
ADDITIONALPARTS,whicharenotincluded withthisunit, maybe needed foryourparticularvehicle.Theseitemsmayinclude
extrarelays orAnti-Theft SystemBypass modules.

“SMARTTACHLESS”MODE
YourCoolStartsystemincludesaunique voltage monitorcalled “SmartTachless”mode.Thismode allowsthisunitto
efficientlystartan engine withoutthe useofatachsignalwire.Thesemodulesactivelymonitorthe voltage levelofthe
vehicletocontrolthe startermotoreachtimearemotestartisrequested.
IMPORTANTNOTES:
(1)SETUPmaybe required forthe CoolStart“SmartTachless”Mode.If yourvehiclehasnotbeen atrestforaperiod of
time(Hotengine),thenyou mustdrainthe surfacecharge fromthe battery.Unplugmainpowerharnessfromunit,turn
HEADLIGHTSONfor4minutestodrainoff excess surfacecharge on vehicle’sbatterythen reconnect.
(2)Onthe rareoccasion that“SmartTachless”mode doesnotoperatesatisfactorily,change the voltage referencelevel
asdescribed below,oruseadifferentmode suchas“Tach”mode,or“Timed Crank”mode.
“SMARTTACHLESS”ADJUSTMENT:
Inthe event“SmartTachless”over-cranks orunder-cranks yourstarter,the settingscan be changed.The purposeof
adjusting the “SmartTachless”Mode istoraiseorlowerthe voltage referencethresholdfromthe 93%defaultpoint.
Raisingorloweringthis93%pointshouldincreaseordecreaseyourcrankingtimerespectively.The adjustmentrangeis
from79%to100%inone percentincrements.Followstepsbelowtoadjustthe referencelevel.
1.Open hood (orground Graywireifno hood pinisinstalled)
2.Turnthe keytothe ONposition (Pinkwiremustbe connected!)
3.Press programbutton 5times,afterafewsecondsthe unitwill flashthe lightsand/orhonkhorn5times.

the top (100%)ofthe adjustmentrange.If you losttrack,then justpress Button #3 toresetback to93%and begin
raising orloweragain.
6.TurnIgnition OFF,Closehood (orun-ground the Graywire)and check operation.
NOTE:ThisSmartTachless adjustmentfeatureisnotavailableon theRS-1300DPII Modelthathas no remote

withdaytimerunning lights,itmaybe difficulttosee anyflashing parking lights.Inthiscaseyouronlynotification will be
the slight“ticking”sound coming fromthe module’sflashing lightrelay.
TACH FINDERSTEPS:
1.Open hood (orground Grayhood pinwireifno hood pinisinstalled)
2.StartEngine withthe key.(Pinkwiremustbe connected!)
3.Press the Programbutton for2seconds
4.Lightswill beginflashing ifthe Red/Whitewireisconnected toavalidtachsource.If nottryadifferenttachwire.
5.OnceTachislocated then turnoff engine and closehood toabort(RemoveGraywirefromground).
6.Nowfollowthe TachProgramming steps.

TACH PROGRAMMING&TACH SIGNALS
INTRODUCTION
Tachsignalswillvaryinlevelsandfrequenciesdependingonmanyfactorsincludingthetypeofvehicleandthesourceof
the signal.The signalsfromavehicle’sinjectorwireand coil pack wirecan varygreatlyeven on the sameengine.The
tachsignalfroman engine can alsobe affected byothersourcessuchaselectronicnoisefromthe ignition orcomputer
modules.RecentimprovementshavebeenmadetothecircuitrytoallowthisCoolStartsystemtosenseawiderrangeof
tachsignalsthan previousmodels.
TACH MODE
The Tachmode providesreliableremotestarting performancethrough engine speed (RPM)sensing.WhenusingTach
ReferenceMode,the Red/Whitewireisused forTachsignal[Engine RPM]input. Mostmodernenginesincludevarious
pointswheretheEngineSpeed[Tach]orA/Csignalmaybeobtained.TachSignalexamples:Negative(-)sideofignition
coil,atthe DistributororIgnition ControlModule,Coil Pack,Engine Computer,orCrankshaft Sensor.SometimesFuel
injectors,and Alternatorstatorpinscan be used.TheseTachSignallocationsmentioned areprovided asaguide.Your
vehiclemaydiffer.Somelocationswill NOTbe agood location forTachsourcedue toRFnoiseorComputerData.
TACH PROGRAMMING:
1.Open hood (orground Grayhood pinwireifno hood pinisinstalled.)
2.Red Whitewireshouldbe connected toavalidTachsource.
3.Startengine withkey.(Pinkwiremustbe connected!)
4.Press programbutton 5times,then waitfor5lightflashesand/or5hornhonks.
5.Pushprogrambutton moreonce.(You mustgetone lightflashand/orhonkafterbutton ispressed.)Thisunitis

6.Press the #1 Lock Button on remotetransmitter.The unitwill read the Tachsourceand flashthe lightsand or
honkonceforprogramconfirmation.(OnRS1300DPII modelswithoutremotetransmitters,press the brakepedal
inthisstep.)
7.If lightsdo notflashforconfirmation,then tryanothertachsourceortrythe tachfindertolocateanotherwire
EXAMININGTHETACH FREQUENCYWITHADIGITALMULTI-METER
If youownaDigitalMulti-Metermeterwithafrequency countersetting,itcan be helpfultomeasureandresearchtherangeoftach
signalfromyourparticularengine.Whenprobing yourchosentachwire,observethe frequencyreadingfromthemeteratboththe
warm/lowengine idleand cold/high engine idlepoints.Tachsignalsranging between 70Hzand 700Hzaredesired.If yourtach

notguarantee operation.If youcannotlocateagood tachsourcefromyourengine,thenyoucan switchyourCoolStartsystemto
the “SmartTachless”or“Timed Crank”.

TIMEDCRANK MODE
Thisfeatureprovidesaneasymethod ofstarting the vehiclewithoutlocatinganexacttachwire.Thesystemusesatimed

HOWTOUSE THISFEATURE:
1.Gotothe “ProgrammableOptions”section ofthismanual,and turn“ON”Option #15 "TimedCrank".(Itisnormallyon

2.With“Timed Crank”turned ON,you will STILL havetoconnectthe Red WhiteTachwiretoatachsourceon the
engine.The Red/WhiteTachwirebecomesasimple“Engine Monitor”.Although the unitwill notbe using the Red
Whitewiretostartthe motor,itwill be using thiswiretodetermine whetherthe motorisrunning ornot. Thisisa
mandatoryconnection.A“crude”or“less exact”tachsourcecan be used onlywhen in“TimeCrank”mode.
3.Using the vehiclekey,startthe engine afewtimestogeta“feel”ofhowlong the cranking timeis.Oncethe “Timed
