INSTALLATION OF MAJOR COMPONENTS
Note: This system allows the transmitter to be programmed for single button lock/unlock or separate
button lock/unlock. The receiver is set up as follows:
Channel#1 = Lock/Unlock/Unlock 2 &Panic
Channel#2 = If Programmed, Unlock/Unlock2 & Panic
Channel#3 = Channel3 & AlternateChannel3
Channel#4 = Channel4 Output
Channel#5 = Channel5Output(IfsoEquipped)
Duringtheprogramroutine, if a transmitterbutton isprogrammedintoreceiverchannel2,then the unit will
alwayshave separate lock/unlockfromthat transmitter.
Ifduringtheprogramsequencereceiverchannel1isprogrammed, and received channel 2 is skipped over,
asindicatedin the transmittedprogramguide,thenthe unit willoperateasasingle button lock/unlockunit
fromthat transmitter.
It is possible to have one transmitter programmed for single button lock/unlock, and one transmitter pro-
grammed for separate button lock/unlock if the customer so desires.
Ifyouinadvertentlyincorrectlyprogram the transmitter, please read theinformation onre-prioritizing found
inthetransmitter programming guide.

use later in the installation.
WIRING THE SYSTEM
Large 8-Pin Edge Connector:
Red/White (5Amp) & Red (15Amp) Fused Wires: +12VDC CONSTANT BATTERYSOURCE
This wire controls the sensitivity of the voltage sensing circuit, which detects the turning on of an interior
light when a door is opened. It will also detect the switching on of parking or headlamps, and in many
caseswilltrigger the alarmwhenathermostatically controlled electronicradiatorcoolingfan switches on.
When installing this system into vehicles with electronic “ after fans “, it is recommended you disable the
voltagesense circuit.
Involtage sensing applications,thecloser to thebattery that theredwire is connected,theless sensitive
thevoltagesensecircuitry will be. Movingthisconnectionpointtothe fuse panel willincreasethesensitiv-
ity, andconnectingtothecourtesy lamp fuseinthevehiclewill provide maximumsensitivityofthe voltage
sense circuit. Be certain to set selectable feature # 7 to 1 chirp, Voltage Sense On.
When hardwiring the control module to pin switches at all entry points, the voltage sense circuit must be
disabled.

COMPLETING THE INSTALLATION
NOTE: This unit has the ability to learn the dome light delay time, up to 60 seconds. If the vehicle has
delay interior lights, and you wish to avoid three chirp, defect zone, indication normally associated with
this type of interior light, we suggest you learn the interior light delay.
To learn the light delay, start with all doors closed:
(1) Use the transmitter to Lock / Unlock / Lock / Unlock / Lock / Unlock / Lock, the system.
The LED turns on solid to confirm the system entered the learn mode.
(2) Immediately open and close the door of the vehicle to initiate the dome delay.
Theunitwill monitor the doortriggerinputPositive,(Purple), and Negative,(Brown)whenactive.
When the dome light turns off, the unit will add 2 seconds then exit the learn mode.
(3) The LED will begin flashing the Armed indication indicating the unit has exited the learn mode and is
armed.
Antenna Wire: Be sure to extend the thin black antenna wire to it’s full length, and cable tie into place
whereit cannot be damaged.Avoidwrapping thiswirearoundmajor, high currentwirelooms.
Adjusting the Shock Sensor: If used, the sensitivity of the pre - detect circuit is automatically set 30%
less sensitive than the full trigger circuit.
Usingasmallscrewdriver,gentlyturntheadjustmentscrewfullycounterclockwise. ( DO NOT over turn this
screw. Maximum rotation for this adjustment is 270° ). Close the hood and trunk lids, and arm the alarm.
Wait6seconds for the accessoriestrigger zonetostabilize,thenfirmlystrike the rear bumperwiththeside
ofa closed fistconsideringthe amount offorcerequired tobreaka window.
CAUTION: Never perform this test on the vehicle’s glass, as you may break the window.
Turn the adjustment screw clockwise (increasing sensitivity) about ¼ turn and re-test. Repeat this
procedureuntilthealarmsounds.Ultimately, one firmstrike tothe rearbumper willcause the alarmto emit
pre-detectwarningtones.
WARNING ! Setting the sensitivity too high can cause false alarms due to noise vibrations from passing
trucks and heavy equipment. To decrease sensitivity, turn the adjustment screw counter
clockwise.
Wire Dressing: Alwayswrap the alarmwiresin convoluted tubing,orwith a spiralwrap of electricaltape.
Secure these looms along the routing using cable ties. This will ensure that the alarm wires are not
damagedby falling ontohotorsharp moving surfacesinthevehicle.
Operation: Take a few moments to check off the appropriate option boxes in the owner’s manual, and to
fully explain the operation of the system to your customer.
Place the Valet Switch Tag and or the Remote Start Control Switch Tag on their respective switches and
point these out to the customer.
