In addition, the garage door interface receiver can be directly wired into the vehicle to offer a 3rd remote control
option. Since this is a set of relay contacts, the receiver can be used to provide a selectable positive or negative
pulse.
TRANSMITTER PROGRAMMING:
The transmitters included in this kit have been programmed at the factory for channel 1 (arm, disarm, and panic
function) only. Any additional functions of the system must be programmed at the time of installation. These
functions can be assigned to transmitter button 2, or a simultaneous press of both buttons 1 and 2. Refer to the
transmitter programming guide, included in this package, for more details regarding transmitter button assignments
and system functions.
INSTALLATION OF MAJOR COMPONENTS:
CONTROL MODULE:
Select a mounting location inside the passenger compartment (up behind the dash) and secure using 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
flared, or opened 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 LED: 2 Pin Connector
A small red LED 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 15/64" diameter hole and pass the red and blue wires from the LED through the hole from the front of the panel.
Firmly press the body of the LED into the hole until fully seated. Route the two pin connector toward the control
module previously mounted.
VALET SWITCH: 2 Pin Connector
Select a desired 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
an even higher level of security to the vehicle. The switch may be mounted in or below the dash by drilling a 1/4"
diameter hole in the location. Be sure to check behind the dash for adequate clearance for the body of the switch,
and to confirm that the drill will not damage any existing components as it passes through the dash.
Route the two pin connector toward the control module previously mounted.
SHOCK SENSOR: 4 Pin Connector
Select a solid mounting surface for the shock sensor on the firewall inside the passenger compartment,
