INSTALLATION OF MAJOR COMPONENTS
Control Module :
Select a mounting location inside the passenger compartment ( up behind the dash ), and secure using
the two screws provided. The control module can also be secured in place using cable ties.
Do not
mount the control module in the engine compartment, as it is not waterproof. You should also avoid
mounting the unit directly onto factory installed electronic components. These components may cause RF
interference, which can result in poor transmitter range or intermittent operation.
Siren :
Select a mounting location in the engine compartment that is well protected from access below the
vehicle. Avoid areas near high heat components or moving parts within the engine compartment. To prevent
water retention, the front or sounding end of the siren must be pointed downward when mounted.
Mount the siren to the selected location using the screws and bracket provided.
Hood or Trunk Pin Switch :
A pin switch is included for use in protecting the hood or trunk ( or hatchback ) of the vehicle. The switch
must always be mounted to a grounded, metal surface of the vehicle. It is important to select a location
where water cannot flow or collect, and to avoid all drip gutters on hood and trunk fender walls. Choose
locations that are protected by rubber gaskets when the hood or trunk lid is closed.
The pin switch can be mounted using the bracket provided, or direct mounted by drilling a ¼ “ diameter
mounting hole. Keep in mind that when properly mounted, the plunger of the pin switch should depress at
least ¼ “ when the hood or trunk lid is closed.
Dash Mounted L.E.D. :
A small red L.E.D. is included that will serve as a visual indicator of the alarm status. It should be installed
in the dash, located where it can be easily seen from outside the vehicle, yet not be distracting to the driver.
Once a location has been selected, check behind the panel for wire routing access, and to confirm the drill
will not damage any existing components as it passes through the panel.
Drill a ¼ “ diameter hole, and pass the red and blue wires from the L.E.D. through the hole, from the front
of the panel. Firmly press the body of the L.E.D. into the hole until fully seated.
Valet Switch :
Select a mounting location for the switch that is easily accessible to the driver of the vehicle. The switch
does not have to be concealed, however, concealing the switch is always recommended, as this provides
