primary harness (H1) wire connection guide
primary harness (H1) wiring diagram
The primary harness supplied with this unit is the standard 12-pin harness used. Two wires in the plug
are not used. The upgrade from this unit to a security system would simply require unplugging and
exchanging control units and connecting the necessary wires to the vehicle. The functions of all the wires
that are used in the primary harness are outlined in the following wiring diagram and the wire con-
nections are described in the wire connection guides.

H1/1 ORANGE (-) Ground-When-Armed Output
This wire supplies a (-) 500 mA ground as long as the system is armed. This output ceases as soon as
the system is disarmed. The orange wire is pre-wired to control the starter kill relay.
NNOOTTEE::if using the H1/1 Orange wire to activate an add-on accessory such as window automation,
pager or voice module a 1Amp diode must be installed to ensure proper operation. Insert the diode as
shown in the following diagram.

H1/2 WHITE (-) Parking Light Output
This wire provides a (-) 200mA output to flash the parking lights. This is suitable for driving (-) light
control wires in Toyota, Lexus, BMW, some Mitsubishi, some Mazda, etc. If the vehicle has a positive
parking light circuit, a relay must be used to flash the parking lights.
H1/3 WHITE/BLUE (-) Channel 3 Output
This wire provides a (-) 200 mA output whenever the transmitter code controlling Channel 3 is received.
This output will continue as long as that transmission is received. Use for options such as a start system,
or power window controllers, etc.
H1/4 BLACK/WHITE (-) 200 mA Domelight Supervision Output
Connect this wire to the optional domelight supervision relay as shown in the following diagram:
IIMMPPOORRTTAANNTT!!This output is only intended to drive a relay. It cannot be connected directly
to the domelight circuit, as the output cannot support the current draw of one or more bulbs.
IIMMPPOORRTTAANNTT!!Never use this wire to drive anything but a relay or a low-current input! The
transistorized output can only provide 200 mA of current, and connecting directly to a sole-
noid, motor, or other high-current device will cause it to fail.

6
H1/6 BLUE (-) 200 mA Second Unlock Output
The H1/6 BLUE output is used for progressive unlock. A progressive unlock system unlocks the driver's
door when the unlock (disarm) button is pressed and unlocks the passenger doors if the unlock (disarm)
button is pressed again within 15 seconds after unlocking the driver's door. The BLUE wire outputs a
low current 200 mA (-) pulse on the second press of the unlock button of the transmitter. This negative
unlock output is used to unlock the passenger doors.
H1/8 BLACK (-) Chassis Ground Connection
Connect this wire to a clean, paint-free location (driver kick panel), or use a factory bolt that DOES
NOT have any vehicle component grounds attached to it. A screw should only be used when in con-
junction with a two-sided lock washer. Under dash brackets and door metal are not acceptable ground
points. It is recommended that all security components be grounded at the same location.
H1/9 YELLOW (+) Ignition Input
Connect this wire to the main ignition source. This input must show (+)12V with the key in run position
and during cranking. Make sure that this wire cannot be shorted to the chassis at any point. This wire
will trigger the system if the ignition is turned on before the unit is disarmed (doors unlocked with the
remote). It will also honk the vehicle’s horn and flash the parking lights (if connected).
H1/10 BROWN (-) Horn Honk Output
This wire supplies a (-) 200 mA output that can be used to honk the vehicle horn. It outputs a single
pulse when locking the doors with the remote, and two pulses when unlocking with the remote. This
wire will also provide an output pulse for 30 seconds when the panic mode is activated. If the vehicle
has a (+) horn circuit, an optional relay can be used to interface with the system, as shown below.

7
H1/11 RED (+)12V constant power input
Before connecting this wire, remove the supplied fuse. Connect to the positive battery terminal or the
constant 12V supply to the ignition switch.
NNOOTTEE::Always use a fuse within 12 inches of the point you obtain (+)12V. Do not use the fuse in the har-
ness for this purpose. This fuse protects the module itself.
H1/12 RED/WHITE channel 2, 200mA (-) output
When the system receives the transmitter code controlling Channel 2 for longer than 1.5 seconds, the
red/white wire will supply an output as long as the transmission continues. This is often used to oper-
ate a trunk/hatch release or other relay-driven functions.
IIMMPPOORRTTAANNTT!!Never use this wire to drive anything but a relay or a low-current input! The
transistorized output can only supply 200 mA of current. Connecting directly to a solenoid,
motor, or other high-current device will cause it to fail.

LED, 2-pin WHITE plug
The LED operates at (+) 2 volt DC and plugs into the two-pin WHITE port. Make sure the LED wires are
not shorted to ground as the LED will be damaged. Multiple LED’s can be used, but they must be wired
in series. The LED fits into a 9/32-inch mounting hole. Be sure to check for clearance prior to drilling
the mounting hole.
NNOOTTEE::Never use a BLUE LED in combination with a RED LED.
override switch, 2-pin BLUE plug
The override switch should be accessible from the driver’s seat. It plugs into the BLUE port on the side
of the unit. Consider how the button will be used before choosing a mounting location. Check for rear
clearance before drilling a 9/32-inch hole and mounting the button.

Pro Security Programmer interface, 3-pin port
The BLACK three-pin port is provided for programming of the unit. When using the Pro
Security Programmer, it is possible to configure any and all of the programmable functions. For
more information please refer to the guide packaged with the programmer.
module programming
The System Features Learn Routine dictates how the unit operates. It is possible to access and change
any of the feature settings using the Override switch. However, this process can be greatly simplified
by using the Pro Security Programmer. Any of the settings can be changed and then assigned to a par-
ticular transmitter, up to four, a feature called individual recognition. Each time that particular trans-
mitter is used to disarm the system, the assigned feature settings will be recalled. Individual recognition
is only possible when programming the unit via the Pro Security Programmer.
If the system was previously programmed using the Pro Security Programmer, the learn routine may be
locked. If the horn generates one long honk when attempting to program the unit, the learn routine is
locked and must be unlocked using the Pro Security Programmer before proceeding.
To enter the learn routine:
1. Key. Turn the ignition on and then back off.
2. Choose. Within 10 seconds, press and release the Override switch the number of
times corresponding to the feature number you want to program. (See Feature
Menus.) Once the Override switch has been pressed and released the desired num-
ber of times, press it once more and hold it. After a second, the LED will flash and the
horn will honk to indicate which feature you have accessed.

3. Transmit. The transmitter is used to select the desired setting. As shipped, the unit
is configured to the LED ON settings. These are the default settings. Pressing the lock
button will set it to the LED ON setting. The LED will light solid (stop flashing) to indi-
cate the setting. The horn will honk once (if connected). Pressing the unlock button will
change the setting to the LED OFF setting. The LED will go out indicating the change
and the horn will honk twice (if connected).
4. Release. The Override switch can now be released.
For example, to program the arming mode from active to passive, within 10 seconds of turning the
ignition off, and press and release the Override switch once. Then press it again and hold it. The LED
will flash in groups of one and the horn will honk once (if connected). While holding the Override
switch, press the unlock button. The LED will stop flashing and go out. The horn will honk twice if con-
nected. Passive arming is now programmed. If that was not the desired setting, without releasing the
Override switch, press the lock button. The LED will light solid and the horn will honk once if connect-
ed. Active arming is now programmed. Release the Override switch after the selection has been made.
You can advance from feature to feature by pressing and releasing the Override switch the number of
times necessary to get from the feature you just programmed to the feature you wish to access. For
example, if you just programmed Feature 2 and you next want to program Feature 3 to off, release the
Override switch. Press and release it once to advance from Feature 2 to Feature 3. Then press it once
more and hold it. The LED will flash in groups of three and the horn will honk three times (if connect-
ed) to confirm that you have accessed Feature 3.
The learn routine will be exited if:
➤The ignition is turned on.
➤The Override switch is pressed too many times.
➤More than 15 seconds elapses between programming steps.
One long horn honk (if connected) indicates that the learn routine has been exited.

feature descriptions
1 ACTIVE/PASSIVE ARMING: When active arming is selected, the starter kill will arm (if connected)
only when the transmitter is used. When set to passive arming, the starter kill will arm (if connected)
30 seconds after the ignition key is turned off.
2 CHIRPS ON/OFF: This feature controls the chirps that confirm arming and disarming of the system.
A siren or horn must be connected to the H1/10 BROWN wire.
3 IGNITION CONTROLLED DOOR LOCK ON/OFF: When turned on, the doors will lock three seconds
after the ignition is turned on.
4 IGNITION CONTROLLED DOOR UNLOCK ON/OFF: When turned on, the doors will unlock when the
ignition is turned off.
5 ACTIVE/PASSIVE LOCKING: If passive arming is selected in Feature 1, then the system can be pro-
grammed to either lock the doors when passive arming occurs, or only lock the doors when the system
is armed with a transmitter. Active locking means the doors will not lock when the system passively
arms. Passive locking means that the doors will lock whenever the system passively arms the starter kill
(if connected).
6 IGNITION CONTROLLED DOMELIGHT: If turned on, the system will turn on the domelight for 30 sec-
onds when the ignition is turned off. The domelight supervision output (H1/4) wire must be connected
to an optional relay as described in the Primary Harness Wire Connection Guide.
7 DOOR LOCK PULSE DURATION: Some European vehicles, such as Mercedes-Benz and Audi, require
longer lock and unlock pulses to operate the vacuum pump. Programming the system to provide 3.5
second pulses will accommodate the door lock interface in these vehicles. The default setting is 0.8 sec-
ond door lock pulses.
