This 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 #11 Bank 3 & or Green/Yellow Wire). If the diesel engine has a instant fire, (no glow plug pre-heat system), feature #11 of Bank 3 should rem

DASH MOUNTED LED: The small LED included in the kit will serve as a visual indicator of the alarm's status and provide a visual deterrent to a potential thief. The LED also provides important feed back information during the transmitter and feature program modes. The LED should be installed in the dash in an area highly visible so that it 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

This unit is to be used in vehicles with AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS only! Although this combination Alarm/Remote Start unit is a sophisticated system with many advanced features, IT MUST NOT be in- stalled into a vehicle with a manually operated transmission. Doing so may result in serious personal injury and property damage. IMPORTANT! It is the responsibility of the installing technician to determine the load factor of the vehicles electrical circuits when the vehicle is running, and to adequat

IMPORTANT! It is the responsibility of the installing technician to determine the load factor of the vehicles electrical circuits when the vehicle is running, and to adequately fuse the two power wires based on that load. If the vehicle, running under load with the air conditioner, heater blower motor, and accessories exceed 24 Amps continuous, we recommend that two fuses be used in combination on each power wire as shown below. For additional information see Tech Update issued 9/30/96. YELLOW

GREEN Wire: Ignition 2 Output Connect this wire to the ignition 2 wire from the ignition switch. This wire will show + 12 volts when the ignition key is turned to the "ON" or "RUN" position and is some cases the "START" or CRANK" position. This wire will show 0 volts when the key is turned to the "OFF" and "ACCESSORY" positions. NOTE: See programming information (Bank 3 Selection #2) concerning this wire to allow output during the "START" mode. VIOLET Wire: Accessory Output Connect this wire

A. Shock Sensor By Pass: If there is a Non Plug in Shock Sensor used with the alarm system and it is not shunted during the Remote Start activation period, then vibration from the running vehicle can cause the alarm to trigger. In this case, connect the Light Blue Wire to terminal #86 of a external relay. Connect terminal # 85 of the relay to a fused + 12 volt battery source. Cut the shock sensor trigger wire and connect one end of the cut wire to terminal #30 and the other end of the cut wir

Green w/ Orange Trace Wire: Tachometer Input Signal This wire will continually monitor the engine's tach rate while the unit is under power of the Remote Start module. This wire will be routed to the vehicle ECM tach input or through the firewall into the engine compartment and connect to the negative side of the ignition coil. This Remote Start unit learns the tach rate of the vehicle and in most cases will operate properly from one multi coil pack regardless of the number of cylinders. If t

Channel 3 Relay Wiring Detail Green w/ Black Trace Wire: 300mA Latched Channel 4 Output The Green w/ Black Trace wire supplies a 300 mA switched output whenever channel four of the receiver is accessed. Pressing the pre-programmed transmitter button(s) will access channel four and will remain active, for up to 20 seconds, as long as the transmitter button(s) is held. This is a low current output and must be connected to a relay to supply power to the device you intend to control. Connect G
