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.

DASH MOUNTED L.E.D.:
A smallred L.E.D. isincluded thatwill serve asa visual indicatorof thealarm status. Itshould be installedin the dash,located where
it can be easily seen from outside the vehicle, yet not be distracting to the driver.

components as it passes through the panel.
Drill a 1/4"diameter hole, and pass thered and blue wires fromthe L.E.D. through the hole, fromthe 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
levelof securitytothe vehicle.Theswitchmay bemountedbelow thedashusing oneofthebrackets provided,ormounted inthedash
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.
WIRING THE SYSTEM:
RED FUSED WIRE - (VOLTAGE SENSING): + 12 VDC CONSTANT BATTERY SOURCE
Thiswire controlsthe sensitivityofthe voltagesensing circuit,whichdetects theturning onofan interiorlight whena doorisopened.

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 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. Move dip switch
# 4 to the "OFF" position. Connect the red/white wire toa+12VDCconstant battery source.
YELLOW WIRE: + 12 VDC IGNITION SOURCE
Connect thiswire to a sourcethat is hotwhen the key isin the on, run,and crank positions,and off when thekey is inthe off position.
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.
