and mount the sensor using the two screws provided. The shock sensor can also be secured to any fixed
brace behind the dash using tie straps. Whichever mounting method is selected, make certain that the
sensitivity adjustment is accessible for use later in the installation.
WIRING THE SYSTEM:
WHITE WIRE: + 12 VDC PULSED PARKING LIGHT OUTPUT ( 15 A MAX )
This wire is provided to flash the vehicle’s parking lights.
Connect the white wire to the positive side of one of the vehicle’s parking lights.
RED FUSED WIRE - (VOLTAGE SENSING): + 12 VDC CONSTANT BATTERY SOURCE
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 cases will trigger the alarm
when a thermostatically controlled electronic radiator cooling fan switches on.
It is recommended that when installing this system into vehicles with electronic “after fans”, the procedure for RED
FUSED WIRE - (HARDWIRE) should be followed.
In voltage sensing applications, the closer to the battery that the red fused wire is connected, the less sensitive the
voltage sense circuitry will be. Moving this connection point to the fuse panel will increase the sensitivity and
connecting to the courtesy lamp fuse in the vehicle will provide maximum sensitivity of the voltage sense circuit.
RED FUSED WIRE - (HARDWIRE): + 12 VDC CONSTANT BATTERY SOURCE
When hardwiring the control module to pin switches at all entry points, the voltage sense circuit must be disabled.
Cut the green wire loop from the alarm control module. Connect the red fused wire to a + 12 VDC constant battery
source.
DARK BLUE WIRE: 300 mA PULSED OUTPUT/CHANNEL 2
The dark blue wire pulses to ground via an independent RF channel from the keychain transmitter. This is a
transistorized, low current output, and should only be used to drive an external relay coil.
WARNING: Connecting the dark blue wire to the high current switched output of trunk release circuits, or some
remote starter trigger inputs, will damage the control module.
Connect the dark blue wire to terminal 86 of the AS-9256 relay (or equivalent 30 A automotive relay),
and wire the remaining relay contacts to perform the selected function of channel 2.
WHITE w/ BLACK TRACE WIRE: POSITIVE OUTPUT TO SIREN
Route this wire through a rubber grommet in the firewall, and to the siren location.
Connect the white/black wire to the positive wire of the siren. Secure the black ground wire of the siren to chassis
ground.
BLACK WIRE: CHASSIS GROUND
Connect this wire to a solid, metal part of the vehicle’s chassis.
Do not confuse this wire with the thin black antenna wire that exits the control module independently.
YELLOW WIRE: + 12 VDC IGNITION SOURCE
Connect this wire to a source that is hot when the key is in the on and in the crank positions. The source must be
off when the key is in the off position.
DARK GREEN WIRE: (-) INSTANT TRIGGER
This is an instant on ground trigger wire. It must be connected to the previously installed hood and trunk pin switches.
BROWN WIRE: - DOOR TRIGGER
If the vehicle’s door courtesy light switches have a - ground output when the door is opened (GM and most Imports)
you must connect this wire to the negative output from one of the door switches. In most cases, the brown wire will
