WIRING THE SYSTEM:

LIGHT GREEN WIRE: (-) INSTANT TRIGGER ZONE 1
Thisis aninstanton groundtrigger wire.Thiswire (zone)shouldbe reservedfor connectiontooptional groundoutputtrigger devices
such as motion and/or shock impact sensors.
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.

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.
YELLOW WIRE: + 12 VDC IGNITION SOURCE
Connect thiswire to a sourcethat is hotwhen the keyis in the on,run, and crankpositions, and offwhen the keyis in the offposition.
RED w/ WHITE TRACE 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. Move dip switch
# 4 to the "OFF" position. Connect the red/white wire toa+12VDCconstant battery source.
HOOD & TRUNK PIN SWITCHES:
Two pin switches are included for use in protecting the hood and trunk (or hatchback) of the vehicle.
Theswitchesmustalwaysbemountedtoagrounded,metalsurfaceofthevehicle.Itisimportanttoselectalocationwherewatercannot
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.
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 1/4" 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.
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 wires of the switch will reach the module's mating connector discussed later
in the installation.
