Autostart AS-1785 Remote Starter User Manual


 
If the vehicle is initially unlocked, upon remote START the Remote Car Starter will start the Engine
and arm the Starter Kill, but the Doors will not be locked or unlocked at any moment of the
sequence.
Lock Pulse Duration
The duration of the Lock and Unlock pulses can be configured as follows:
(Default) 7/10-sec. LOCK and 7/10-sec. UNLOCK pulses
4-sec. LOCK/UNLOCK pulses to control vacuum Door Lock systems
A single 7/10-sec. LOCK pulse and two 1/4-sec. UNLOCK pulses
for double-pulse disarm/unlock systems.
Engine Run Time
1/10-sec. LOCK and 1/10-sec. UNLOCK pulses
Use this Function to configure the length of time the Engine will be left running under remote
control. The Remote Car Starter will allow the Engine to run for either 4, 15 or 25 min. in Gas Mode
and 9, 20 or 30 min. in Diesel Mode. Standard default Run Time is 15 minutes in Gas mode and 20
minutes in Diesel mode.
Starter Kill (Installation)
The Remote Car Starter is equipped with a selectable Passive or Active-arming Starter Kill
circuit that will prevent the vehicle from being started with the Ignition Key when the Remote Car
Starter is armed. The Starter Kill wire will provide a constant 500-mA. negative output when the
system is armed (locked by remote control) and can be connected to an external Starter or Ignition
interrupt relay (see diagram below).
The Starter Kill circuit can be set to arm in either Passive Mode or Active Mode
Caution!!!
When installing the Starter Kill, it is extremely important that pin 86 be wired to Ignition: do not
jump it to pin 30 (damage to the vehicle could result).
Note: Installation of the Starter Kill system requires an external relay. (Not included!)
Passive or Active Arming
(Passive arming by default.) The Remote Car Starter can be set to:
Active Arming: the Starter Kill will not arm automatically. Press the LOCK button to
arm and the UNLOCK button to disarm it.
Passive Arming: the Starter Kill will arm automatically if it is not armed by remote
within a 60-sec. delay. Press UNLOCK to disarm.
Passive Arming with 3-minute timeout: the Starter Kill will arm automatically after
3 minutes.
Resetting the Remote Car Starter
The Remote Car Starter is equipped with a reset function that allows the installer to erase all
Transmitter codes from memory and return all the Programming Options to the factory default
values.
Resetting the Remote Car Starter is not a required process. Most of the time, you can avoid
resetting by fixing the issue directly at the root of the cause.
1. Flash the Hood Pin switch (see Table 1)
– Once inside Programming Mode, you have 10 seconds to complete the next step.
