2-1 Engine Checking Intelli-Tach: (1) When set to “Intelli-Tach” (1) the remote
start monitors the cranking voltage of the vehicle and sets it as a reference point.
Fifteen seconds after the crank output sequence the remote start checks the volt-
age again to determine if the vehicle is running.
When set to voltage, (2) the unit cranks the starter for the programmed time and
then attempts to sense that the engine is running by detecting an increase in volt-
age. If programmed Off (3) the vehicle cranks for the programmed crank time.
The tach setting or voltage setting is not checked to verify that the car is running.
In the OFF setting, if the vehicle fails to start, the ignition stays on for the run dura-
tion. Using tach or either of the voltage settings is recommended.
When set to Tachometer, (4) the unit references the learned tach signal to disen-
gage the starter. In addition it will monitor the RPM and shut down if the engine
RPM is too high or too low.
Important: The tach wire must be connected and programmed for the manual
transmission mode to work.
2-2 Run Time 12 (1), 24 (2) 60 (3) MINUTES: Selects the time in minutes that
the system will operate the engine until the system “times out”. The system may
be shut down using the remote or any of the shutdowns at any time. Using the
ProSecurity Programmer the run time can be programmed for any duration from
1-60 minutes.
2-3 Parking Lights Constant: In the default setting, the parking lights will come
ON solid, when the vehicle is remote started. In the two- flash setting the park-
ing lights will flash during the remote start runtime..
2-4 Crank Time 0.6(1) 0.8 (2) 1.0 (3) 1.2 (4) 1.4 (5) 1.6 (6) 1.8 (7) 2.0 (8)
4.0 (9) SECONDS: If the unit is programmed for no engine checking or voltage
sense, the crank time must be set to the appropriate duration. The default setting
is 0.6 second and the LED will flash once. If a different crank time is desired,
toggle through the higher settings by using the two-honk settings.
