PR PRE-INSTALLATIONCONSIDERATIONS
BEFORE BEGINNING,check all vehiclemanufacturer cautionsandwarnings regardingelectricalservice (AIR BAGS, ABS
BRAKES, ENGINE/ BODYCOMPUTER AND BATTERY).
PLANOUTYOUR INSTALLATION.Youshouldpre-determinethelocationofthe ControlModule(Brain),Valet button,
LED, and Sirenlocations. This willsave time and ease theinstallationprocess.
USE VOLT/OHM METER totest andlocate all connections. Test Lights or LightedProbes couldpossiblydamage a
vehicle’s computersystem or cause anairbag to deploy.
ADDITIONALPARTS,that are not included withthisunit, may be needed for yourparticular vehicle. These items may
include extra relays, Door Lock Interface Modules, or Transponder Override modules.

IMPORTANTNOTES:
OntherareoccasionthatTachless mode doesnotoperatesatisfactorily,change the voltage referencelevelas
describedbelow, oruseadifferent modesuchas“TachReference”mode,or “Timed Crank”mode.
TACHLESS ADJUSTMENT:
IntheeventTachless over-cranksorunder-cranksyour starter,thesettingscan be changed.The purposeof
adjusting the “SmartTachless”Mode istoraiseor lower thevoltage referencethresholdfromthe 93%defaultpoint.
Raisingor loweringthis93%pointshouldincreaseor decreaseyourcrankingtimerespectively.You canadjustthe
range from79%to100%inone percentincrements.Factorydefaultsetting [starting point] isinthe middleat93%
whichshouldworkfor mostvehicles.Ifyoufeelyou needtofine tune the Tachless mode,thenfollowthesteps
belowtoadjust itsreferencelevel.
1.Openhood(or groundthe Blue hood pinwireifno hood pinisinstalled)
2.Turn the keytotheONposition (donotstartvehicle).
3.Press programbutton5times,after afewsecondsthe unitwill flashthelights5times.

TACH MODEPROGRAMMING
INTRODUCTION
Thissystemhas3methodsof monitoring the enginerunning.Option#1controlshowthe systemmonitorsthe

1. TachReferenceMode–MonitorsEngineR.P.M. -Most reliablemethod, seeTachprogramming below.
2. TachlessMode-Default. When vehicleisremotestarted,thebatteryvoltage ratewill goupbecausethe
Alternatorstartsworking. TheTachlessMode isadjustablein1%incrementsthruOption21.
3. Not Used.
4. HybridMode– Forelectricmotorsthatarecomputercontrolled. Thisprovidesa4secondcrankoutput to
activatethe start sequenceon Hybridvehicle. Don’tuseon vehicleswithgasordieselengine, doesn’t monitor
stalledengine or lowbatteryvoltage.
TACH REFERENCEMODE: Providesreliableremotestarting performancethough engine speed sensing.When
using TachReferenceMode,the WHITE/REDwireisusedforTachsignal[EngineRPM]input.Mostmodern
enginesincludevariouspointswhere the Engine Speed[Tach]or A/Csignalmaybeobtained.TachSignal
examples:FuelInjection Solenoids,Negative(-) side ofignitioncoil,attheDistributororIgnitionControlModule,
Coil Pack,EngineComputer,orCrankshaftSensor.SometimesanAlternatorStatorpincanbe used.TheseTach
Signallocationsmentionedareprovided asaguide,your vehiclemaydiffer.Somelocationswill NOTbe agood
location forTachsourcedue toRFnoiseorComputerData.
Note:WhenusingaDatabusmoduleforTachsignal, don’tconnectup theTachwire.Thiswill create a
conflict. TheSystemcanonlyuseoneTachsource.
TACH PROGRAMMING:
