MOUNTING OF THE MAJOR COMPONENTS
Control Module: Part # 1365410
Select a mounting location inside the passenger compartment ( up behind the dash ), and secure using
the two screws provided. The control module can also be secured in place using cable ties.
NOTE: D
o not mount the control module in the engine compartment, as it is not waterproof. You should also
avoid mounting the unit directly onto factory installed electronic components. These components
may cause RF interference, which can result in poor transmitter range or intermittent operation.
Select a mounting location in the engine compartment that is well protected from access below the vehi-
cle. Avoid areas near high heat components or moving parts within the engine compartment. To prevent
water retention, the flared end of the siren must be pointed downward when mounted.
Mount the siren to the selected location using the screws and bracket provided.
An optional pin switch should be used for protecting the hood or trunk (or hatchback ) of the vehicle. The
switch must always be mounted to a grounded, metal surface of the vehicle. It is important to select a
location where water cannot flow or collect, and to avoid all drip gutters on hood and trunk fender walls.
Choose locations that are protected by rubber gaskets when the hood or trunk lid is closed. The pin
switch can be mounted using an optional bracket or can be directly mounted by drilling a " diameter
mounting hole. Keep in mind that when properly mounted, the plunger of the pin switch should depress
at least " when the hood or trunk lid is closed.
The Superheterodyne Receiver Antenna Assembly provided with this unit allows routing from below the
dash board for maximum operating range. Choose a location above the belt line (dashboard) of the
vehicle for best reception. Special considerations must be made for windshield glass as some newer
vehicles utilize a metallic shielded window glass that will inhibit or restrict RF reception. In these vehicles,
route the antenna toward a rear window location for best reception. Secure the antenna with double
stick tape provided.
Select a solid mounting surface for the shock sensor on the firewall inside the passenger compartment,
and mount the sensor using the two screws provided. The shock sensor can also be secured to any fixed
brace behind the dash using tie straps.
Whichever mounting method is selected, make certain that the sensitivity adjustment is accessible for
use later in the installation.

headlamp control wire in the vehicle.
This wire provides a 30 second ground output (300 mA Max) whenever the remote is used to disarm the
alarm or to unlock the doors and provides a continuous pulsed output whenever the alarm is triggered.
This wire should be connected to an external relay and wired to the vehicles interior entry lighting when-
ever the optional Interior Illumination circuit is desired. See Wiring Diagram for details.
The light blue/green wire pulses to ground via an independent RF channel from the keychain transmitter.
This is a transistorized, low current output, and should only be used to drive an external relay coil.
WARNING! Connecting the light blue/green to the high current switched output of trunk release
circuits, some remote start trigger inputs, will damage the control module. Connect the
light blue/green to terminal 86 of a 30 A automotive relay, connect terminal 85 to a + 12
volt source, and wire the remaining relay contacts to perform the selected f u n c t i o n o f
channel 5.
The dark blue wire pulses to ground via an independent RF channel from the keychain transmitter. This
is a transistorized, low current output, and should only be used to drive an external relay coil.
CAUTION! C
onnecting the dark blue wire to the high current switched output of trunk release circuits,
and some remote start trigger inputs, will damage the control module. In these cases,
connect the dark blue wire to terminal 86 of an Automotive 30 AMP relay, terminal 85 to +12
Volts, and wire the remaining relay contacts to perform the selected function of channel 3.
The green w/ black trace wire latches to ground via an independent RF channel from the keychain
transmitter. This is a transistorized, low current ( 300 mA ) output, and should only be used to drive an
external relay coil.
This wire provides an immediate ground signal, and stays at ground for as long as the button(s) on the
keychain transmitter remains pressed.

14 Dark Blue w/Black Trace Wire: Alternate Channel 3 Output (Dbl. Push Required)
This wire is controlled from the transmitter button programmed to the receiver's channel 3. By double
pressing this the transmitter button, this output will become active for 1 second. This is a transistorized,
low current (300 mA) output, designed to provide an output only when the transmitter is intentionally
operated, such as is the case with remote start add on modules. If you require more than 300mA drive
from this output, you must drive an external relay coil, and arrange the relays contacts to preform the
specified function.
NOTE: Pressing the transmitter button, then immediately pressing and holding it will cause this output
to be active as long as the transmitter button is depressed.
Plug the previously routed antenna connector from the antenna receiver assemble into the mating con-
nector of the control module. This connector supplies 5 volts, ground and RF data input and output, LED
cathode, and Valet Enable to and from the antenna receiver and the remote start module. Be certain
this connector is firmly seated making good contact to the control unit.
Route the red, black, blue, and green wires in the 4 pin white connector from the shock sensor to the
control module, and plug one end into the shock sensor, and the other end into the mating white con-
nector on the side of the module.
Red, Green, & Red / Black 3 Pin White Connector: Door Lock Outputs P/N 1122906
The Red and Green & Red/Black wires provide a pulsed ground output to the factory door lock control
relay. The maximum current draw through these outputs must not exceed 300 mA. The Red w/Black
trace wire will provide an output when the unlock button of the transmitter is pressed a second time after
a first unlock command was issued. This is used for second step unlock or all doors unlock in a two step
circuit. In this arrangement, Green is used to control the drivers door unlock relay, and the Red/Black
will be used to control unlock of all other doors.
In this application, the red wire provides a ground pulse during arming, or the pulsed ground lock
output. Connect the red wire to the wire that provides a low current ground signal from the factory door
lock switch to the factory door unlock control relay.
The green wire provides a ground pulse during disarming, or the pulsed ground unlock output. Connect
the green wire to the wire that provides a low current ground signal from the factory door unlock switch
to the factory door unlock control relay.

4 Pin Upgrade Telematic Module:
Red = + 5 Volts
Black = Ground
White = Data TX
Yellow = Data RX
Connect the 4 pin harness found in the Telematic one way module kit to the mating port on the telematic
module and the other side to the connector on the alarm or keyless entry module.
NOTE: If using the TWO WAY Telematic module, only Ground, TX, and RX are used on this port, the
+ 12volt supply for the two way module must be sourced separately or the unit will not operate.
NOTE: This unit has the ability to learn the dome light delay time, up to 60 seconds. If the vehicle has
delay interior lights, and you wish to avoid three chirp, defect zone, indication normally
associated with this type of interior light, we suggest you learn the interior light delay.
TO LEARN THE DOME LIGHT ENTRY DELAY START WITH ALL DOORS CLOSED:
(1) Use the transmitter to Lock / Unlock / Lock / Unlock / Lock / Unlock / Lock, the system. The
LED turns on solid to confirm the system entered the learn mode.
(2) Immediately open and close the door of the vehicle to initiate the dome delay. The unit will
monitor the door trigger input Positive, (Purple), and Negative, (Brown) when active.
When the dome light turns off, the unit will add 2 seconds then exit the learn mode.
(3) The LED will begin flashing the Armed indication indicating the unit has exited the learn mode
and is armed.
Antenna Wire:
Be sure to extend the thin black antenna wire to its full length, and cable tie into place where it cannot
be damaged. Avoid wrapping this wire around major, high current wire looms.
If used, the sensitivity of the pre - detect circuit is automatically set 30% less sensitive than the full trigger
circuit.
Using a small screwdriver, gently turn the adjustment screw fully counterclockwise. (DO NOT over turn
this screw. Maximum rotation for this adjustment is 270). Close the hood and trunk lids, and arm the
alarm. Wait 6 seconds for the accessories trigger zone to stabilize, then firmly strike the rear bumper with
the side of a closed fist considering the amount of force required to break a window.
WARNING! Never perform this test on the vehicles glass, as you may break the window. Turn
the adjustment screw clockwise (increasing sensitivity) about turn and re-test. Repeat
this procedure until the alarm sounds. Ultimately, one firm strike to the rear bumper will
cause the alarm to emit pre-detect warning tones.
CAUTION! Setting the sensitivity too high can cause false alarms due to noise vibrations from
passing trucks and heavy equipment. To decrease sensitivity, turn the adjustment screw
counter clockwise.
