The APS-750a is to be used in vehicles with AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS only! Although this combi-
nation Alarm/Remote Start unit is a sophisticated system with many advanced features, IT MUST NOT
be installed into a vehicle with a manual operated transmission. Doing so may result in serious personal
injury and property damage.
IMPORTANT!
DO NOT PLUG THE SIX PIN MAIN POWER HARNESS OR THE MULTI PIN INPUT / OUTPUT HARNESS
INTO THE CONTROL MODULE UNTIL ALL CONNECTIONS TO THE VEHICLE HAVE BEEN MADE.
AFTER SELECTING YOUR TARGET WIRES AS DEFINED BELOW, DISCONNECT THE NEGATIVE
BATTERY CABLE FROM THE VEHICLE BATTERY PRIOR TO MAKING ANY CONNECTIONS.
WIRING THE 6 PIN MAIN POWER HARNESS:
RED w/ WHITE Trace Wire: + 12 volts Battery 1 Source
Connect this wire toa+12VDCconstant source found at the vehicle's ignition switch using the 30 Amp
fuse and holder provided.
RED Wire: + 12 Volts Battery 2 Source
Connect this wire toa+12VDCconstant source found at the vehicle's ignition switch using the 30 Amp
fuse and holder provided, but NOT the same vehicle wire as used by the battery 1 source. Most vehicles
have more than one battery source supplying power to the ignition switch. Separate feed wires must be
used for the Red and Red/White wires. If your vehicle does not have two battery feed wires at the ignition
switch then it is possible to connect both wires to the vehicle's battery.
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 conditioned, heater blower motor, and accessories exceed 24
Amps continuous, we recommend that two fuses be used in combination on each power wire as shown
YELLOW Wire: Starter Output
Careful consideration for the connection of this wire must be made to prevent the vehicle from
starting while in gear. Understanding the difference between a mechanical and an electrical
Neutral Start Switch will allow you to properly identify the circuit and select the correct installa-
tion method. In addition you will realize why the connection of the safety wire is required for
all mechanical switch configurations.
Failure to make this connection properly can result in personal injury and property damage.
In all installations it is the responsibility of the installing technician to test the remote start unit and assure
that the vehicle cannot start via RF control in any gear selection other than park or neutral.
In both mechanical and electrical neutral start switch configurations, the connection of the Yellow wire will
be made to the low current start solenoid wire of the ignition switch harness. This wire will have +12 volts
when the ignition switch is turned to the start (crank) position only. This wire will have 0 volts in all other
ignition switch positions.
NOTE: This wire must be connected to the vehicle side of the starter cut relay (when used). For the
electrical neutral switch configuration, this connection must be made between the starter inhibit relay,
( when used ) and the neutral safety switch as shown in the following diagram.
Failure to connect this wire to the ignition switch side of the of the neutral safety switch can result in
personal injury and property damage.
