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.
ADDITIONAL PARTS, that are not included withthis unit, may beneededfor yourparticular vehicle. These items may
include extra relays, Door Lock Interface Modules, or Transponder Override modules.

IMPORTANTNOTES:
(1)SETUPmaybe required for the Tachless Mode.Ifyour vehiclehasNOTbeen atrestforaperiod oftime(Hot

TACHLESS ADJUSTMENT:
IntheeventTachless over-cranksorunder-cranksyour starter,thesettingscan be changed.The purposeof
adjusting the “SmartTachless”Mode istoraiseor lower thevoltage referencethresholdfromthe 93%defaultpoint.

TIMEDCRANK MODE
Asan alternativetoTachor Tachless mode,“Timed Crank”providesan additionalmethod ofstarting the vehicle
withoutlocatinganexacttachwire.Itusesatimed cranking outputcombinedwiththe useoftheRed/Whitetach

FEATUREMUSTBEPROGRAMMEDBEFOREUSE!THEREARE2LEVELSofprogrammingrequired:First, set
the systemfor“Timed Crank”operation,and secondlyyoumayneed toadjusttheamountofcranking time.There
are4different cranktimesavailablefor use.SEE OPTIONPROGRAMMINGCHARTFORSETTINGS.
HOWTO USE THISFEATURE:
1.Gotothe“ProgrammableOptions”section,andset Option#16 to“Pre-Set".(Itisnormallyset to“TachMonitor”)
2.With“Pre-Set”Cranking timeturned ON,youwill STILL havetoconnectthe Red/WhiteTachwiretoatach
sourceontheengine.TheRed/WhiteTachwirebecomesasimple“EngineMonitor”.Although theunitwill not
be using the Red/Whitewiretostartthemotor,itwill beusing thiswiretodetermine whetherthemotor isrunning
or not.Thisisamandatoryconnection.A“crude”or“less exact”tachsourcecanbe usedonlywhen in“Time
Crank”mode.
3.Usingthevehiclekey,starttheenginetogeta“feel”ofhowlongthecranking time is.Oncethe“Timed Crank”
