1. Mounting and Connecting the module:
The information that follows shows the generic wire harness list. Custom har-
nesses designed to plug into specific vehicles are available and are separately
listed.
Screws or cable ties may be used for mounting the module in the driver's left kick
panel area. We recommend mounting after everything has been completed and
tested fully. Be sure to leave access to the LED and white push button on the side
of the case for programming.
Make sure that the white antenna wire is as straight as possible and not likely to
be touching any moving parts. Make sure not to let this white antenna wire touch
metal ground as this will severely impede transmitter range.
A description of each wire for the GENERIC Harness
(Model #27004) is as follows:
2. BLACK Chassis ground. (strip off 1/2" of insulation of the end of the
wire and screw to the metal frame in the kick panel area).
3. RED +12 volts constant such as the ignition power feed in the steer-
ing column area. (15 amp fuse must remain in-line).

Page 4 20083 / 20084
4. RED/BLACK This is the On/Off Control switch wire. This switch will al-
ready be connected to the harness. You will notice that one
side of the switch goes to the Red/Black wire and the other
side of the switch to Ground.
5. ORANGE Ignition input -- connect to an ignition wire which has +12
volt when key is in the ignition (normal running) position but
has no voltage when the key is out.
6. GREEN/WHITE Trunk or Auxillary output. For Trunk your vehicle must
have an electric trunk release. This is a negative transistor
output (-400mA) - you must use an external relay (not sup-
plied) when hooking up this wire. See Page 9 for a detailed
hook-up using a relay.
7. VIOLET Optional Starter Kill, Dome Light or Headlight transistor out-
put (-400mA). This wire must drive an external relay. See
Step 14 for details on setting these options.
8. BLUE Horn/Siren. This is a transistor output (-400 mA) which can
be used to drive an external relay which in turn can power a
horn or a siren. See programing options for changing this
output from horn to siren mode.
9. GRAY Optional alarm input. You can hook this wire to the vehicle's
door pin switch so that when the door is opened the alarm will
sound if the system is armed. This input is assuming negative
polarity. You must use a relay to switch the polarity on posi-
tive pin switch vehicles. You can also add additional alarm
sensor inputs -- such as a shock sensor -- to this wire. If you
add more than one input to this wire be sure to diode isolate
each input as shown here.

WHITE/GREEN Not Used
YELLOW/RED Unlock transistor (-) output
YELLOW/GREEN Not Used
RED/WHITE Not Used
For Model 20084/25584: These are relay outputs.
WHITE/RED Lock Common relay output (Pin 30 of the on-board relay)
WHITE/GREEN Lock Normally Closed relay output (Pin 87a of the on-board
relay)
YELLOW/RED Unlock Common relay output (Pin 30 of the on-board re-
lay)
YELLOW/GREEN Unlock Normally Closed relay output (Pin 87a of the on-
board relay)
RED/WHITE Lock/Unlock relay polarity input -- must be hooked up.
(normally open, Pin 87 contact for both relays)
11. Plug the harness into the module at this time. Note that upon first power
up -- the red LED light on the module flashes once and gives you a 5 second
window to enter into the Transmitter Code Learning mode described toward the
end of the manual. After 5 seconds, the led flashes 4 short times to indicate the
end of transmitter code learning mode and the start of normal operation.
12. Mount the switch: Drill a 1/2" hole and mount the switch in a
convenient location for the user. Make sure the dot on the switch is facing
upward for correct orientation of up being 'On'.

13. TRYING OUT THE UNIT:
Always keep one window rolled down to avoid locking yourself out of the vehicle.
Your transmitter has already been factory coded to the Smart Entrytm . (If it does not
trigger any of the following functions, and you have already checked your connections,
follow the steps for Transmitter Code Learning at the end of the manual.) Generally,
the transmitter button should be held down until the Smart Entrytm unit responds
with the desired feature.
Button 1: Hold for one second -- Lock and Arm (One chirp, if hooked up)
Button 2: Hold for Onesecond -- Car Locator (Brief Horn/Siren sound, if
hookedup)
Hold fortwo seconds -- Panic (45 second horn/alarm sound, if
hookedup)
Button 3: Hold for onesecond -- Unlock and Disarm (Two chirps, if
hookedup)
Hold for two seconds -- Pop the trunk
NOTE: If the alarm is sounding -- Button 2 held for 2 seconds will turn off the
alarm. Also, when you disarm the alarm -- it will give 4 chirps if the it
has alarmed since the last time it was armed.

14. PROGRAMMING OPTIONS:
There are 4 options which can be set as described in the Programming Method section
following this section.
A. Horn-vs-Siren (Factory setting is Horn)
This product gives you the option of having a pulsed output for a car horn or a
constant output for a siren.
B. Lock Follow Ignition (Factory setting is "No Lock Follow Ignition")
This option will automatically lock the doors 2 seconds after the car is started,
and will automatically unlock the doors when the key is removed from the igni-
tion.
C. Passive vs Active Arming (Factory setting is Active Arming)
In the Active arming mode -- the alarm will not arm until you Lock the doors
with the Left button on the transmitter -- 1 chirp will be heard for arming.
Passive arming will arm and lock the vehicle 25 seconds after the key has been
removed from the ignition and all of the doors have been closed. You must still
disarm the system in both modes with the keychain transmitter's Left button -- 2
chirps will be heard for disarm. In passive arming the system will arm the door
pin switch, activate starter-kill, and Lock the doors 25 seconds after the ignition
is turned off AND the alarm has seen the last door close. Pushing the Left button
on the transmitter to control lock will override this passive feature. NOTE: The
doors will automatically Lock after the 25 seconds time.
D. Violet Wire Options: Starter Kill / Domelight / Headlight.
(Factory setting is Starter Kill). If you do not want Starter Kill, this VIOLET
wire can be set for two different functions -- Domelight or Headlights. In the
Dome light mode, the output comes on each time the door is unlocked with the
Right button -- and stays on for 25 seconds or until the ignition key is turned on.
In the Headlights mode the headlights will come on along with the horn/siren
during lock/unlock, panic and alarm. See Option 4 of the Programming Options
on the next page for setting these options.
Page 8 20083 / 20084
15. PROGRAMMING METHOD:
This section will set or reset any of the four options.
1) Turn the Control Switch (the toggle switch) OFF (down). (The switch has a
dot on the side which is the ON position).
2) Push the white button on the side of the case of the receiver and the red LED
will flash once letting you know you are in option 1. Push the white button
again to scroll to option 2 (the LED will flash twice) and again for option 3
(the LED will flash 3 times) and again for option 4 (4 flashes) -- then back
to option 1 again if necessary.
3) When you are at the option you want to change -- simply press the Left,
Middle or Right button on the transmitter to choose the function you want.
After a few seconds of holding the transmitter button down -- the red LED
on the receiver will come on signifying acceptance of new option -- then you
can release the transmitter button and push the white button again to scroll
to the next option or wait 5 seconds for this routine to exit out.

16. Example of optional Trunk hookup using an external relay:
Take a relay with 10 amp or higher capacity and a 12 volt coil. Locate the
push button for the trunk (usually in the glove compartment). You will
noticetwowiresbehindthis push button switch. Connect the Smart Entry's
Green/White Trunk wire to one side of the relay coil and constant +12
volts to the other side of the coil. Both the Common and Normally Open
contacts of the relay go to the push button switch:
If you are using one of the automotive industry standard relays like the Bosch 30
amp relay -- the connections would be as follows:
Pin 85 (Positive side of relay's coil) +12 volts constant
Pin 86 (Negative side of relay's coil) Green/White wire
Pin 30 (Relay's common contact) One side of the trunk push button wire.
Pin 87 (Relay's normally closed contact) The other side of the trunk
push button wire.
Example of Horn hookup using an external relay:
Take a relay with 10 amp or higher capacity and a 12 volt coil. This example
shows a Bosch 30 Amp relay being used.

17. Transmitter Code Learning: Your Smart Entry module comes
factory coded to one of 16 million different codes and is already programmed. If
you unit does not respond to your transmitter in any way after checking the con-
nections, or you want to have additional transmitters (up to 4) to trigger your
Smart Entry module -- follow the following directions:
1. Disconnect power for 5 seconds. Re-apply power.
2. Within 5 seconds, push the white button on the side of the Smart Entry
(the red LED will flash twice) then push and hold the left button on the
transmitter for 5 seconds until the red LEDon the receiver comes on -
- stop pushing transmitter button.
3. If you have a 2nd transmitter, within 5 seconds push the left button for
a few seconds until the red led on the receiver comes on. Release
transmitter button. Repeat for up to 4 total transmitters.
4. Wait 5 seconds for receiver to exit out of code learning mode -- the red
led on the receiver flashes 4 times.
Note: Teaching the module a new transmitter code will erase all previ-
ously learned codes -- so all transmitters must be taught.
Ifyouhavelost your transmitter and the alarmisarmed,itcanbeturned off
as follows using the valet switch:
1. Insert your key into the vehicle ignition and turn to the "run" position.
2. Toggle the valet switch four times off and on and the alarm will disarm.
