2-05 Cold Start with Thermistor Assembly
- This option turns on the cold/hot starting features. This option works in conjunction with 2-6, 2-8 and 2-9. The thermistor must be plugged
into the controller/brain.
2-06 Timer Start, or, Minimum Interval Between Cold Starts
- This option dictates the time interval when vehicle will remote start or check temperature and remote start.
Default 1: Will start every 3 hours until the vehicle is remote started or started by key – for 4 minutes.
Option 2: Will start every 1.5 hours until the vehicle is remote started or started by key – four 4 minutes.
Option 3: Will start at the time specified on the 2 way remote one time for the duration set by Option 2-7.
Option 4: Will start at the specified time on the remote every 24 hours if the temperature falls below as set under 2-8. For example, if you want your car starts everyday 7 am in
the morning for 25 minutes when the temperature of the inside of the vehicle falls below 32°F, you need to set up:
1) Option 2-5 (Cold Start) turned on,
2) Option 2-6-IV (24 hr. repeat) turned on,
3) Option 2-7-II (25 min run-time) turned on,
4) Option 2-8-IV (Temp 32°F) turned on,
5) Set the reservation time at 7 am (see User’s guide)
6) Turn on Timer Mode of the 2 way LCD remotes (see User’s Guide)
2-10 Setting Tach/Alternator/No Tach Sensing/1.5 Second Crank
- There are four modes for starting the vehicle. IMPORTANT: For manual transmissions you MUST use tach or
alternator sensing. The four are listed below:
1) Tachometer Wire Sensing – No Tach Learning Button on Pro Series. To learn tach press and hold the foot brake. While holding the foot brake hold the remote start button for
2.5 seconds. Tach wires can be usually be found on the coil pack of the engine or as the odd colored wire on any of the injectors.
2) Alternator Wire Sensing – This mode requires connection to stator wire on the alternator. The wire tests 0 volts DC while the vehicle is off, 1-5 volts while the ignition is on,
and a minimum of 12-14 volts while the vehicle is running.
3) No Tach Sensing – No tach sensing is an alternative engine sensing mode. No tach sensing does not require a connection to the vehicle other than the main ignition harness.
4) 1.5 Second Crank (V.33 or greater) – This option creates a 1.5 second crank output on the yellow starter wire. Should only be used for vehicles with built in anti-grind.
2-12 Crank Time
– This option changes the crank time when reading tach on different vehicles. It adjusts for situations when there may be under cranking when remote starting. Please
see tech update from April 2008 on www.compustar.com
for more info.
3-04 Starter-Kill relay
- In the default setting, the relay will act as an anti-grind and starter-kill circuit. On setting 2, the relay will act as anti grind only.. Setting 3 is the same as 2, but a
passive starter-kill is activated 45 seconds after the vehicle is turned off or disarmed.
3-05 Anti-Jacking
- This option requires the starter kill relay to be installed in the ignition circuit rather than into the starter circuit. With this option set to option 2, Panic Mode becomes
Anti-Jacking Mode. If Anti-Jacking is activated while the vehicle is running with the key in the ignition, the siren will sound for 30 seconds then the system will disconnect the ignition,
thereby disabling the vehicle. The siren will continue to sound for 1 more minute.
3-09 Horn Output When Alarm is Triggered
- This option changes the output on the horn wire. On default setting the horn output will pulse when alarm is triggered. Setting 2 the horn
wire becomes a constant output when triggered. This output on the wire only pulses or holds ground (-).
3-10 Valet
- This option changes the way you put the system into valet mode. On default setting you can either cycle the ignition 5 times with the key or turn the ignition on and tap
buttons I+III. Setting 2 you can either cycle the ignition 5 times with the key or tap buttons 1 + 3. Setting 3 turns the Secure Valet Switch on. See Programming the Secure Valet Section
above.
3-11 Auxiliary Settings Mode - This option requires the programming of auxiliary settings. If you need more than 2 of the supplied auxiliary outputs, you can use the POC options with
the OP500. With this option turned on, the Aux 2 wire from the system becomes non functional and the Aux 1 wire becomes the data wire that communicates with the auxiliary settings.
4-01 Aux 1 output
- This option changes the behavior of the output on Aux 1. If you want to set a specific time change this option to Setting 4.
4-02 Aux 2 output
- This option changes the behavior of the output on Aux 2. If you want to set a specific time change this option to Setting 4.
4-05 Secure Auxiliary Output (Aux 1 and 2 only)
- With this option on the default setting you must first tap button 4 on the remote and then tap either button 2 or 3 to activate Aux 1
or Aux 2. This is to prevent accidental triggering of Aux 1 or 2 if they are hooked up to door poppers or window modules. On optional setting 2, this turns the secure aux off.
4-06 Auxiliary Input 1
- This option changes the input behavior of the pre-warn wire on the Aux Input Sensor (green plug). The default setting is the Prewarn when it sees a ground (-)
trigger. Setting 2 changes the input to an instant trigger. Setting 3 changes the wire into a ground (-) disarm input. That can be used as an input when using the control module as a
slave unit.
4-07 Auxiliary Input 2
- This option changes the input behavior of the pre-warn wire on the Aux Input Sensor (green plug). The default setting is the Instant trigger when it sees a
ground (-) trigger. Setting 2 changes the input to a Prewarn. Setting 3 changes the wire into a ground (-) arm input. That can be used as an input when using the control module as a
slave unit.
4-09 Key Sense or Glow Plug Input
- Default setting sets the wire as a glow plug input wire. Setting 2 changes the wire into a key sense input. The key sense input is used to prevent
setting reservation (manual transmission) and passive arming while the key is still in the ignition. The dome light supervision will stop when the key is inserted in the ignition.
4-10 Trigger Start or Closed Loop System Input
- Default setting is the trigger start when using the control module as a slave unit. Setting 2 changes the wire into a closed loop
system. The wire becomes an instant trigger if the wire is separated from ground. (-) This can be used for headlights housings or connected to a tow hitch.
Special Option Group 1
- This option group controls the Diesel Timer and Auxiliaries 1 though 7. Aux 3 through 7 are only available with the Auxiliary settings. The Diesel Timer can
only be set for 3 to 99 seconds. Aux 1 through 7 can be set from 1 to 100 seconds. IMPORTANT: This option group can only be accessed with the OP500 Option Programmer.
Special Option Group 2
- This option group controls the Programmable Output Connectors (POCs). The POCs are located on CN3 (odd numbered wires). IMPORTANT: This option
group can only be accessed with the OP500 Option Programmer. The default setting each option is 0. You can set each POC to 1-12. This changes the function of the POCs. Please
see the option menu and wiring guide for details of each POC.
How to Change Options with OP500 and Remotes
The options can be set using the OP500 Option Programmer, 1 Way remote, 2 Way remote, or the antenna button on Canadian ANT-1WAM or ANT-1WSH. Firstech
recommends using an OP500 Option Programmer since not all options are accessible with the remotes or antenna buttons.
