D) Remote Starter
D-1) Car Type
Steps to program Car Type as Automatic or Manual:
Follow the procedure above to enter programming mode and set option 11 as described in the
Programming Option Table.
D-2) Remote Engine Start Mode
Steps to program Engine Start Mode as Alternator or Tach:
Follow the procedure above to enter programming mode and set option 12 as described in the
Programming Option Table.
* If Tach Sensing (RPM) is programmed:
a> Perform the tach learning before using the remote start for the first time.
b> Make sure the tach wire(Green) of the alarm system is connected to the negative of the coil
as shown in the wiring diagram.
D-3) RPM (Tach) Learning
Before performing the RPM (Tach) learning turn off all electrical devices such as car stereo, FM
Radio or air conditioner. By doing so, the system will learn lowest RPM, which will make it
smoother and easier when using the remote starter.
Take the following steps to perform the RPM learning:
a> Shift the gear to the neutral position and pull up the hand brake.
b> Switch the ignition on and start the engine.
c> Wait until the RPM is running stably (normally vehicle’s stable RPM is 900-1,000.)
d> Press button (3) for 3 seconds. The hazard lights will flash for 2 seconds and then flash
twice to confirm that RPM is learned.
Important:
* Please make sure to set Start Mode Select as TACH (please refer to # 12 Start Mode Select of
Programming Option Table).
* The Tach wire (Green) of the alarm system should be connected to the negative of the coil.
D-4) Alternator Voltage
This setting should be left set on the default setting of 4.5V unless advised otherwise by our
technical department.
D-5) Crank Time
Steps to program Crank Time as 0.6, 0.8 or 1 second:
Follow the procedure above to enter programming mode and set option 14 as described in the
Programming Option Table.
Normally, older vehicles and diesel vehicles need a longer crank time to start the engine.
However, if the engine doesn’t start smoothly, please set the crank time longer.
D-6) Start Running Time
Steps to program Start Running Time as 10 minutes or 20 minutes:
Follow the procedure above to enter programming mode and set option 15 as described in the
Programming Option Table.
Depending on the programmed engine running time, the engine will run for 10 or 20 minutes
and then shut down automatically.

D-7) 24-Hour Engine Start Mode
Steps to program 24-Hour Engine Start Mode as 3 hours, 6 hours or off:
Follow the procedure above to enter programming mode and set option 16 as described in the
Programming Option Table.
This feature is convenient to use in the cold winter season.
a> Press button (1) and (3) once at the same time to activate 24-Hour Engine Start Mode, then
siren will chirp once and the hazard lights flash once to confirm.
Depending on the programmed value, the engine will automatically start every 3 or 6 hours in
each 24-hour period.
b> Press button (1) and (3) once again at the same time to deactivate this mode. The siren will
chirp twice and the hazard lights flash twice to confirm.
There are 3 situations that the 24-hour engine start mode will be cancelled as follows:
a> When remote engine start is used.
b> Doors are opened.
c> The system is triggered.
