REMOTE CONTROL AUTO SECURITY SYSTEM
PASSIVE / ACTIVE ARMING SELECTION:
This alarm can be programmed to operate as either a “PASSIVE” or “ACTIVE” arming security system.
As a “Passive” alarm, the system will automatically arm itself approximately 30 seconds after the ignition key is turned
off,one doorisopened, thenallvehicle doorsareclosed, (arming issuspendeduntil thelastdoor isclosed).This feature
protects the vehicle in the event you forget to arm the system using the keychain transmitter.
This system is shipped in the passive mode, therefore no modifications are required to make the system operate as a
“Passive” alarm.
As an “Active” alarm, the system can only be armed using the keychain transmitter. There will be no backup automatic
arming.
To make the system operate as an “Active” alarm, simply un-plug the quick disconnect terminals located on the
small black wire loop coming out of the control module.
PRE-INSTALLATION NOTES:
Model APS-15CL
VOLTAGE SENSE / HARDWIRE SELECTION:
This alarm can be wired to operate as a Voltage Sensing or a Hardwire system.
As a voltage sensing system, the alarm will trigger any time an entry point that illuminates a courtesy light is opened.
The system is shipped in the voltage sensing mode, therefore, no modifications are required to make this system a
voltage sensing alarm.
Asa hardwiresystem,the alarmwilltriggerany timeadoor, hood,trunk,etc. isopened,bywiring directlytothe switches.
This means that if the courtesy light is burned out, or the courtesy light fuse is blown, the alarm will continue to protect
all points of entry. To make this system operate as a hardwire alarm, cut the small green wire loop coming out of the
control module.
NOTE: When “Passive Arming” and “Voltage Sensing” are selected, you must hardwire the driver’s door pin switch
or passive arming will never be initiated.
STARTER DISABLE:
This system provides an output to control an optional starter cut relay (not included).
When this option is installed, any time the system is armed, the vehicles starting circuit is inoperable.
CHANNEL 3 : (TRANSMITTER ONLY)
The transmitters included in this alarm incorporate an additional independent 3rd radio frequency channel. Although
the alarm module will only respond to 2 channels, the 3rd frequency can be programmed to an option garage door
interface (AS-9154). The AS-9154 has its own on-board programmable receiver, and is designed to operate with most
existing automatic garage door openers.
In addition, the garage door interface receivercan 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.
DOOR LOCK / UNLOCK OUTPUTS:
This systemprovidesnegative (ground)pulseddoor lockoutputs, whichallowsdirect connectiontosome (3wire ground
switched) OEM factory installed power door lock control relays. These outputs have a maximum current capability of
300 mA.
