Step 2: Determine A Mounting Location
Find a discreet and secure mounting location for the module. Make
sure the module is free from moisture, excessive heat, direct sunlight, or
moving vehicle parts.
- The large white sticker must be facing towards the sky
- There cannot be any metal between the module and the sky
- Mount as high in the dash as possible
- Mount at least 12 inches away from the radio & speakers. The cellular
portion of this device could cause radio interference.
-DO NOT SECURE THE DEVICE UNTIL TESTING IS COMPLETE
Step 3a: Connect The Device - Serial / Data Port Installation
BLACK 4-Pin Serial Data Connector (required):
This allows for a quick plug-in installation when used with a compatible
Omega security or remote start system. Plug this into the matching port
on the host system and program the data port for iDatalink protocol.
Power and Ground are provided by the data port.
YELLOW +12v Ignition input wire (optional):
This is an ignition input wire to the device. It must be connected to an
ignition +12V source. This can be found in the ignition switch harness
or at a fuseblock. Be certain that this wire has +12V with the ignition
key is in the ON position.
NOTE: DO NOT CONNECT IF USING DATA CONNECTOR WITH AN
OMEGA ALARM OR REMOTE START SYSTEM.
BLUE (-) output #1 wire (optional):
This is a negative pulse 150mA output (add a relay if necessary)
configurable for 0.8 second, 3 second, or 10 second pulse. It can be
assigned to most command buttons in the Linkr app.
NOTE: IF YOU ARE NOT CONNECTING TO A DATA PORT AND
HARDWIRING ALL CONNECTIONS, SKIP TO STEP 3B

LINKR-M1_EN-4/22/16
GREEN (-) output #2 wire (optional):
This is a negative pulse 150mA output (add a relay if necessary)
configurable for 0.8 second, 3 second or 10 second pulse. It can be
assigned to most command buttons in the Linkr app.
ORANGE (-) output #3 wire (optional):
This is a negative pulse 150mA output (add a relay if necessary). It’s
primary function is for ENGINE DISABLE but can be assigned to other
command buttons in the Linkr app if desired.
BROWN/WHITE (-) pulsed alarm trigger input wire (optional):
This input will send a VEHICLE ALARM notification to the user’s phone
when it detects 7 negative pulses within 10 seconds. Connect this to
the alarm’s horn honk output or flashing light output.
NOTE: Omega security systems will send alarm trigger status on the data port, in
which case, this wire is not connected.
BROWN (+) steady alarm trigger input wire (optional):
This input will send a VEHICLE ALARM notification to the user’s phone
when it detects positive voltage (>5vDC) for 7 seconds continuously.
Connect this to the alarm’s positive siren output.
NOTE: Omega security systems will send alarm trigger status on the data port, in
which case, this wire is not connected.
GRAY/BLACK (-) panic button/valet input wire (optional):
This input will send a PANIC notification to the user’s phone when it
detects a negative input for 3 seconds. It can also be used to turn off
the ENGINE DISABLE feature if the device cannot be reached from the
smartphone app. Connect this to the included push-button valet switch.
Connect the other wire of the valet switch to chassis ground.

Step 3b: Connect The Device - Hard Wire Installation
BLACK ground wire (required):
This provides chassis ground to the device. It should be connected
directly to the metal structure of the vehicle. Strip the end of the wire
and crimp on the supplied ring terminal. Route this wire to a solid
grounding point, like an existing bolt in the vehicle and securely ground
the wire.
RED +12v constant power wire (required):
This is the power supply wire to the device. It must be connected to a
FUSED constant +12V source. This can be found in the ignition switch
harness, a fuseblock, or at the vehicle’s battery. Be certain that this wire
has +12V under all circumstances and when the ignition key is in the
ON and OFF positions.
YELLOW +12v ignition input wire (required):
This is an ignition input wire to the device. It must be connected to an
ignition +12V source. This can be found in the ignition switch harness
or at a fuseblock. Be certain that this wire has +12V with the ignition
key is in the ON position.
BLUE (-) output #1 wire (optional):
This is a negative pulse 150mA output (add a relay if necessary)
configurable for 0.8 second, 3 second, or 10 second pulse. It can be
assigned to most command buttons in the Linkr app.
GREEN (-) output #2 wire (optional):
This is a negative pulse 150mA output (add a relay if necessary)
configurable for 0.8 second, 3 second, or 10 second pulse. It can be
assigned to most command buttons in the Linkr app.
NOTE: YOU MUST CUT OFF THE BLACK 4-PIN CONNECTOR
TO HARDWIRE POWER & GROUND CONNECTIONS

Step 4: Check The Status Indicator Lights
Using Linkr To Monitor A Home / Building Alarm
Linkr can be installed for direct monitoring of any building alarm. It can
alert the user of any alarm trigger condition and can control quick arm &
disarm functions if the alarm panel supports it.
BLACK ground wire (required):
Connect to the alarm panel (-)12v DC source.
RED +12v constant power wire (required):
Connect to the alarm panel (+)12v DC source.
BLUE, GREEN, & ORANGE (-) output wires (optional):
Typically, you will need to wire relays to connect/disconnect the key input terminals
(aka ‘key zone’) on the panel. In most cases, resistors are required. See the panel
instructions for more info.
BROWN (+) & BROWN/WHITE (-) alarm trigger input wires:
If the siren/bell output is constant when triggered, use the BROWN wire. If the output
is pulsed, use the BROWN/WHITE wire. Be sure the polarity matches, convert with a
relay as needed.
After powering the device, turn on the vehicle ignition and allow a few
minutes to get the proper indicators. Make sure the vehicle is out in the
open so the module has a clear view to the sky.
