Programming Transmitters
Each system includes two pre-programmed transmitters. To program transmitters, such
as when adding a transmitter or changing the button assignment, follow this process:
Step 1- Turn "on" the ignition.
Step 2- Within 5 seconds of turning "on" the ignition, press the Valet Switch 5 times. The
sirenwill chirp,confirming thatfor thenext 10seconds thesystem isready tolearn
a transmitter code. When the first transmitter code is learned all existing stored
codes will be erased. To enter a transmitter code, simply press and release the
transmitter button which is desired to arm and disarm the system*.
Step 3- Repeat this procedure for each transmitter desired to operate the security system.
The system will chirp the siren once to confirm that each transmitter code was
learned. Bothoftheothertwo transmitter button's functions will automaticallybe
learned when the arm / disarm button is learned. If a code is not received within
a 10 second period, the learning process will automatically terminate.
* Other button operations may be used, as shown in this chart:

Installation Considerations
Mounting The Main Control Module: The Main Control Module contains the elec-
tronics necessary for the security system's operation. Always mount this module in the
vehicle's interior compartment, in a secure location that is not easily accessible. Ensure
that moisture, vibration and temperature extremes are minimized. Acceptable locations
may include mounting behind the dash, behind the glovebox or other interior panels.
Mounting The Siren: Find a location in the engine compartment away from the ex-
treme heat of the engine and manifold. A suitable location will offer a firm mounting
surface, will also allow sound dispersion out of the engine compartment, and not be acces-
sible to a thief. The siren must be pointed downward to avoid moisture collecting inside it
and to enhance sound dispersal.
Wiring Connections: The security system's wires should be securely connected to the
appropriate vehicle wires with the proper terminals, connectors, or by soldering and
insulating with quality vinyl electrical tape or heat shrink tubing. All wiring should be
carefully routed to avoid the possibility of chaffing or otherwise being damaged. Make all
required connections, then plug the harnesses into the control module.

Negative Ground Black Wire
The Black wire is the source of Negative ground which is necessary for the security
system to operate. The proper connection of the Black grounding wire is vital.

Programming Features
Thissystemhas22programmablefeaturesthatcanbeprogrammedusingthevaletswitch
and transmitter. See the Owner's Manual for further Programmable Features information;
brief manual programming instructions are:
Step 1- Turn "off" the ignition.
Step 2- Within 5 seconds of turning "off" the ignition, press the Valet Switch 5 times. The
siren will chirp, followed by a short siren burst, confirming that for the next 10
seconds the system is ready to receive a feature number.
Step 3- Press the Valet Switch the number of times that is equal to the feature number.
Example: Press the Valet Switch six times if Feature #6 is to be changed.
Step 4- The siren will respond by chirping the same amount as the feature number.
Example: The siren responds with six chirps.
Step 5- Press the largetransmitterbuttontoturn the feature "on". Whendone,thesirenwill
respond with one chirp.
Step 6- Pressthesmall lefttransmitter buttontoturnthefeature"off".Whendone,the siren
will respond with two chirps.
Step 7- For each additional feature to be programmed, repeat steps 3-6.
If the Valet Switch is not pressed, or if a transmitter signal is not received within a 10
second period, the Programmable Features learning process will automatically terminate.

CONNECTION:Usingthecorrectsized crimp-on ringterminal,connectthe Black wire
to the metal frame of the vehicle, preferably using an existing machine-threaded fastener.
Make sure that the ring terminal attached to the Black wire has contact with bright, clean
metal. If necessary, scrape any paint, rust or grease away from the connection point until
the metal is bright and clean. If the control module has an insufficient ground connection,
the security system can find partial ground through the wires that are connected to other
circuits, but the alarm will not function correctly, giving the impression of a defective
control module. The alarm can partially work, so a bad ground wire connection would
be suspected. In some cases the alarm could arm and disarm properly but not function
correctly otherwise. When power and ground are first applied the alarm will trigger
instantly. The Black wire attached to the control module is the antenna wire. Do not
connectthiswiretoanything or thetransmitter'srangewillbereducedor eliminated.
Stretch the Black antenna wire out and as high as possible for the best operating range.

The Red wire's function is to supply Constant Positive 12 Volts for security system's
operation. When 12 Volts is first applied to the Red wire, the system will revert to state in
which it was in when power was taken away. If the vehicle to be serviced, especially if it
involves the battery, the system should be placed in Valet Mode. This will prevent the
system from being activated if the battery is disconnected and reconnected. The Red wire
also supplies 12 Volt Positive to the module's internal relay for flashing the parking lights.

CONNECTION: Connect the Red wire to a Constant Positive 12 Volt source. This
source should have Positive 12 Volts with at least a 15 Amp capacity at all times and in all
ignitionkey positions. Connectionlocationscanbeatthesupplywireattheignitionswitch,
the supply wire behind the fuse block or the fuse/junction block. Never just insert the Red
wire or any other security system wire behind a fuse. Also, please note that connecting
directly to the battery's Positive terminal will expose this connection to failure due to a
corrosive environment unless the connection has a protective coating.

to the proper operation of many of the security system's features.
CONNECTION: This wire supplies Positive 12 Volts to the control module whenever
the ignition switch is "on". This connection should be made at the ignition switch harness,
to the primary ignition circuit. Primary ignition has 0 Volts when the ignition key is in the
"Lock", "Off" and "Accessory" positions; and Positive 12 Volts in the "Run" and "Start"
positions. Locate the correct wire at the ignition switch harness and securely splice the
Yellow wire to it.

possible. Use a voltmeter, not a test light, to find the correct wire, which is the wire from
theignitionswitchtothestarter solenoid. CAUTION! Avoid theairbagcircuit! Improper
useofatestlightcancausedeploymentoftheairbag,whichmayresultinbodilyinjury! Test
lights can also damage on-board computers and associated sensors. The starter wire
will read Positive 12 Volts only when ignition key is in "start" position (cranking the
engine). Cut this wire at a suitable location. Confirm that this is the correct wire by
turning the ignition switch to the "start" position. The starter should not engage.
Connect the optional starter disable socket's Red wire to the ignition switch side, and its
White wire to the starter solenoid side. Be sure that good, solid electrical connections are
made as this generally is a high amperage circuit. Connect the security system's Orange
wire to the Orange wire of the starter disable socket. Note: If the Orange wire touches 12
volts positive directly or has more than a 500ma ground load, the circuit will be damaged.

Positive Siren Output Brown Wire
HORN CONNECTION: The Brown wire may be connected to the vehicle's existing
horn wire, but a relay and diode must be used to switch the polarity to Negative. The horn

the Brown wire to the horn itself is not recommended because the average horn requires
The Brown wire is a 1 Amp Positive output designed to operate the electronic siren for
audible confirmations, and also to sound if the alarm is triggered. An alternative to the
siren is to program the alarm to pulse this output to sound the vehicle's horn by adding a
relay and diode. This would require changing Programmable Feature #18 from the preset
steady output to a pulsed output.
SIREN CONNECTION: The Brown wire may be connected directly to the siren's Red
wire, and the siren's Black wire is connected to (-) Ground.
Mounting The Siren: Find a location in the engine compartment away from the extreme
heatofthe engineandmanifold. Asuitable locationwilloffer afirmmountingsurface, will

pushed to "unlock". Since the security system's output polarity must be reversed from
negative ground to 12 volts positive, an optional doorlock interface must be used. Three
interfaces are available - the models DLP-P3, or the DLS with optional SPDT relays.
Model DLP-P3 - Three pin connector with a transistor converter network which changes
the security system's negative pulse doorlock outputs to positive pulses. Allows direct
connection of the security system's outputs directly to a vehicle with positive pulse
doorlocks. Overall length 20". Easier and more efficient than using relays for vehicles that
have positive pulse doorlock systems.

more than the 1 amp output that the Brown wire supplies. One alternative is to disconnect
the horns, then operate the horn switch. A clicking sound from the vehicle will confirm the
presence of a horn relay. Another alternative is to check a wiring schematic of the vehicle
in question.
Configuring An Optional Relay: The Brown Siren / Horn output wire has a 1 Amp
capacity, which, if exceeded, can damage the security system control module. In certain
situations, among them multiple optional sirens or utilizing the vehicle's horn, an optional
SPDT relay is required. When adding a relay, a protection circuit in the form of a 1 Amp
diode on the Brown Siren / Horn output wire is recommended.
