BecauseofthecomplexitiesofthedifferentfactoryRemoteKeylessEntryUnitsonthemarkettoday,theAPS-30uses(2)disarminputs.
Inallinstallations,whetherinstallingwitha2stepunlockcircuit,singlestepunlockcircuit,orastandalonepassivealarm,bothofthese
wires must be connected.
The followinglogicchart willhelp todemonstrate howthese disarminputs work. As shownin thechart,the APS-30will disarmonly
when Disarm inputs #1 and #2 are at opposing polarities.
