The APS-996 Remote Start/Alarm System is designed to be used with Automatic Transmission- Fuel
Injection Vehicles Only! The unit provides a selectable ignition control that allows a number of selectable
timed outputs for glow plug pre-heat in addition to a "Wait To Start Input" either of which may be required for certain
diesel vehicles, (see selectable feature #9 & or Green/Yellow Wire). If the diesel engine has a instant fire, (no
glow plug pre-heat system), feature #9 should remain in the default Gasoline mode setting. For diesel
applications,consult your dealer forthetypeof ignition systemusedinyour particular vehicle. Regardless
of the vehicle, Gasoline or Diesel, for every installation, the vehicle MUST HAVE a Tach Signal Input,
Automatic Transmission and Fuel Injection.
INSTALLATION OF THE MAJOR COMPONENTS:
CONTROLMODULE:
Selectamountinglocationinsidethepassenger compartment (up behind the dashboard). The mounting
location selected must be within 24" of the ignition switch wiring harness to allow connection of the 6 pin
mainwiringharness.
Becertain thatthe chosenlocationwill notinterfere withproperoperationofthe vehicle. Avoidmountingthe
moduleto or routingthewiring around thesteeringshaft/column, as themoduleor wiring maywraparound
or block the steering wheel preventing proper control of the vehicle. Secure the module in the chosen
location using cable ties or screws as necessary.
Do Not Mount The Module In The Engine Compartment, as it is not waterproof.
SIREN:
Select a location in the engine compartment that is not accessible from below the vehicle. The selected
location must be clear of hot or moving parts within the engine compartment The siren must be pointed
downwardtopreventwaterretentionandtheflaredendmustbepointedawayfromandoutoftheengine
compartment for maximum sound distribution. Before securing the siren, check behind your chosen
location to assure that the mounting screws will not penetrate any factory wiring or fluid lines. Secure the
siren mounting bracket using #8 self taping screws or by first using the mounting bracket as a template,
scribeormarkthemounting holes. Drill the marked holes using a 1/8" drill bit, then mount the siren using
#8 sheet metal screws.
HOODAND TRUNK PINSWITCHES:
The pin switches included in this package are intended for protecting the hood and trunk areas of the
vehicle. In all cases, the switch must be mounted to a grounded metal surface. When the pin switch is
activated,(hood/trunkopen), itwill supply a ground to the input wire activating the alarm. In addition, the
2

hoodswitchisrequired for the safety shut down oftheremotestartunit. Ifthe vehicle is being worked on,
this hood switch prevents the remote start activation even if the RF command to start is issued. This
switch must be installed in all applications. Failure to do so may result in personal injury or
property damage. Mount the switches in the hood and trunk locations away from water drain paths. If
necessary, the included brackets may be used to move the switch away from rain gutters or allow
mounting to the firewall behind the hood seal. In both cases the switch must be set up to allow the hood
or trunk door to depress the switch at least 1/4 inch when the hood or trunk is closed and fully extended
when the hood or trunk is opened. For direct mounting, a 1/4 inch hole must be drilled. Carefully check
behindthe chosen locationtoinsure the drillwillnot penetrateanyexistingfactory wiringorfluid lines. Drill
a 1/4" hole in the desired location and thread the pin switch into it using a 7/16" nut driver or deep well
socket. If using the mounting bracket, first secure the bracket to the desired location and secure the pin
switchinthepre-threaded mounting bracket hole.
DASHMOUNTEDLED:
Thesmall LEDincluded in thekit willserveas a visual indicatorofthe alarm's status and provideavisual
deterrentto a potentialthief.The LED alsoprovidesimportant feed backinformationduring the transmitter
andfeature programmodes.The LEDshouldbe installedinthe dashinan areahighlyvisible sothatit may
be seen from the driver's seat as well as from outside the vehicle. Inspect behind the chosen location to
insure that the drill will not penetrate any existing factory wiring or fluid lines. Carefully drill a 1/4" hole in
the desired location and pass the connector end of the LED through the hole and toward the control
module. Press the LED firmly into place until it is fully seated in the mounting hole.
THERECEIVER/ANTENNAASSEMBLY:
The Superheterodyne Receiver Antenna Assembly provided with this unit allows routing from below the
dashboard formaximumoperatingrange. Choosea locationabovethe beltline (dashboard)ofthe vehicle
for best reception. Special considerations must be made for windshield glass as some newer vehicles
utilize a metallic shielded window glass that will inhibit or restrict RF reception. In these vehicles, route
theantennatowardarearwindowlocationforbestreception. Securetheantennawithdoublesticktape
provided. Aftersecuringthe antenna with tape, we advise alsosecuringasectionof the antenna cable to
afixed support. This willpreventthe antennafromdroppingdown incasethe double sticktapeis exposed
to extreme heat which may loosen it's gummed surface. Route the 3 pin connector toward the control
module using caution not to pinch the cable as this will cause poor or no RF reception to the control
module.
VALET/PROGRAM/MANUALOVERRIDE SWITCH:
Select a mounting location that is easily accessible to the operator of the vehicle. It is not necessary to
conceal the switch. However, concealment is recommended as it offers a higher level of security. The
switchcanbe mounted to the lower dash panelinthedriver'sarea. Inspect behind the chosen location to
insurethat adequateclearanceis allowedforthe bodyofthe switch, andalso that thedrillwill notpenetrate
any existing factory wiring or fluid lines. Drill a 9/32" hole in the desired location and mount the switch by
passingitthroughthepanel from the underside. Secure the switch using the nut, star washer. Route the
switch'sconnectortowardthecontrolmodule.
NOTE: During the program sequence, there are times when this switch and the ignition switch will be used
simultaneously. We recommend that the push-button switch be mounted on the left side of the ignition
switch to facilitate this operation.
CONTROLSWITCH:
Selectamountinglocationknownandaccessible to the operator of the vehicle. A lower dash panel, kick
panel, or glove box is desirable. Inspect behind the chosen location to insure that adequate clearance is
allowedfor thebodyofthe switch,andalso thatthedrill will notpenetrateany existingfactorywiring or fluid
lines. Drilla 1/4" holeinthedesired location andmountthe switch bypassingitthrough the panelfromthe
underside. Secure the switch using the nut, star washer, and on/off face plate. It is suggested that the
switchbe orientedtoallowtheon positiontobe uptoward thedriverand theoffpositiontobe downoraway
fromthedriver. Route the switch's connector toward the control module.

SHOCKSENSOR:
Select a centrally located, solid mounting surface for the shock sensor that will allow consistent opera-
tionfromallareasof the vehicle. The selected location must be within 18" of the control moduletoallow
routing and connecting of the 4 pin harness. Secure the shock sensor to the chosen location using two
#8 self tapping sheet metal screws. The sensor can also be secured to an existing dash brace using
cable tie straps. Whichever mounting method is used be sure to allow access to the sensitivity adjust-
ment potentiometer for use later in the installation.
STARTER INHIBIT RELAY:
Select a mounting location within 12" of the ignition switch's low current start solenoid wire. Secure the
relay to an existing harness in the chosen location using a cable tie around the relay's wiring harness.
CAUTION! Donotwire tiethemetal bracket toanexisting wiringharnessas vibrationmaycause chaffing
and shorting damaging the factory wiring. If an existing harness is not available then secure the relay's
metalmounting tab toanunder dash metalbracewith a #8selftapping sheet metalscrew. Wirethe relay

Green/Yellow Wire: DIESEL WAIT TO START INPUT
Thegreen/yellow wire,whenconnected tothewire thatget +12volts duringtheglow plugpreheatstage will
delay the starter output until this wire drops the 12 volts. In other words, in a Diesel vehicle with glow plug
preheatcircuit,whenthe ignition is turned on, the vehicle willnotcrankuntiltheglow plugs are hot enough
tofirethe atomized fuel oilwheninjectedinto the cylinder. By connectingthiswireto the glow plug +12volt
wire,whentheremotestartunitactivatestheignitionone output, the glow plug output also activates. The
remotestartseesthegreen/yellowwithpositive voltage and waits for this to go inactive( drop the 12 volts)
before activating the starter motor. If this wire is not used or you have difficulty accessing the glow plug
preheat circuit, you may elect to utilize the Diesel timed output as specified in Remote Start feature
selection#9.NOTE:If green/yellow is used, it will override or negate any setting of feature #9.
