CURRENT SENSING
The CS-882OEM system includes a current sensing circuit to monitor current
flow through the vehicles electrical system. If an intruder opens a door and the
interior lights turn on, the CS-882 system will detect a current drain and trigger
the alarm without having to connect (hardwire) this system to the interior dome
light circuit and hood/trunk pin switches. If your vehicle includes courtesy lights
in the trunk and/or under the hood, the system should also protect those areas
when in current sensing. Current sensor is off by default. See diagram at right.
CURRENT SENSING NOTES:
1. Current sensing may be a problem for you if your vehicle has a thermostatically controlled fan
system that may turn on after you have set the alarm and left the vehicle. The fan turning on will
cause a false alarm trigger.
2. Some vehicles with large or more then one battery will not operate well in current sensing mode
because there is not enough voltage drop for the unit to detect a light turning on. If you experience
problem with current sensing, please use the hard-wired door and hood/trunk inputs.
RESISTORS & DIODES
The enclosed diodes and resistors are only used for alternative installations that DO NOT +12V or Grounding
validations signals. (Door Lock/Unlock Switch wires).
Connect components as follows:
Yellow/Black: wire from CS882 connects to one side of resistor.
Remaining side of resistor connects to band end of diode.
Non-band end of diode (anode) connects to parking light switched +12 volt wire.
Blue/Black: wire from CS882 connects to one end of 2
nd
resistor.
Remaining side of resistor connects to band end of 2
nd
diode.
Non-band end of diode (anode) connects to door lock solenoid switch that switches from ground to +12 volts
when locking and unlocking.
