Audiovox PRO 9243 Automobile Alarm User Manual

DOOR LOCK / UNLOCK OUTPUTS:
This system provides both (+) & (-) pulsed door lock outputs, for direct connection to most OEM factory installed door
lock control relays. These outputs have a maximum current capability of 300 mA , therefore, external relays must be used
on switching circuits requiring more than 300 mA or with 4 or 5 wire polarity reversal door lock control circuits.
The optional AS 9159, Door Lock Interface, is available to simplify the wiring of these circuits.
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 end
of the siren must be pointed downward when mounted.
Mount the siren to the selected location using the screws and bracket provided.
HOOD & TRUNK PIN SWITCHES:
Two pin switches are included for use in protecting the hood and trunk (or hatchback) of the vehicle.
The switches 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 switches can be mounted using the brackets and screws provided, or direct mounted by drilling a 9/32" diameter
mounting hole.
Keep in mind that when properly mounted, the plunger of the pin switch should depress at least 1/4" when the hood or
trunk lid is closed.
VALET SWITCH:
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 below the dash using one of the brackets
provided, or mounted in 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.
Whichever mounting method is used, make certain the back of the switch is accessible for wiring later in the installation.
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 15/64" 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.
