INDUSTRY CANADA USER NOTICE: Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) is not more than that required for successful communication.
When joining all door pins together to the door pin input wire of the module unit, each wire must be isolated with a diode to prevent feedback. Note: The above examples reflect common situations where diodes are use to isolate connections. Please note that there are numerous other cases where diode isolation is required. ♦ Always make sure that all external relays or modules added to the module unit are properly fused and diode isolated.
F GREEN (+) Fifth Relay output (30 A) Warning: at the ignition switch of certain vehicles, there may be more than one ignition wire for powering the heater blower motor. Use the 5th relay (Pin F) and extra relays to power up any extra ignition wires if necessary. Do not jump wires at the ignition switch: this would compromise the OEM electrical system. This high-current output can be used to power a second ignition, accessories or crank wire. See jumper setting on page 18, for correct output.

9 PURPLE (–) External Trigger 10 WHITE (–) Ground Out When Running 11 GREY (–) N/A AS-2300TW Installation Guide The external trigger wire can be used for remote-starting the vehicle with an external device. When the vehicle is running, triggering this input will activate idle mode. The external trigger wire can also be used to operate as a negative trigger with the trunk pin-switch, the key sense wire or the door pin-switch: Option 1 Connects to negative trunk pin.
In diesel mode, this positive input will monitor the glow plug light: it will wait for up to 30 seconds until the glow-plug light goes out before allowing the module to proceed to cranking the engine. Connect to the side of the glow-plug light which is positive when the light is on. Note: the module will nevertheless proceed to cranking the engine if the glow-plug light is still on after the 30-sec. delay (25 sec. when the run time is set to 30 min.).
2-Pin Harness Wire Colour Function 1 BLUE/ WHITE (–) N/A 2 YELLOW (–) Parking Light output Description This pin is not used. Leave it empty. 500 mA negative parking light output Note: Ensure that the voltage does not vary when the dimmer control switch is turned up or down. If this is the case, it is not the right wire. There is a also a positive parking light output. Only one of these two different outputs needs to be connected.
The Programming Assistance Button (A.k.a. the PAB.) Mounted on the module, this button can be used from within the vehicle instead of the hood pin switch in the engine compartment. This will spare the installer the trouble of accessing the hood pin switch in the engine compartment. Caution: The hood pin switch must be installed and connected in order for the programming assistance button to function. The button will work only when the hood is up.
1. Flash the hood pin switch (see page 9) – The parking lights will stay ON for up to 20 seconds. – Before the lights go out: 2. Press and hold the brake pedal, – And press one of the following buttons on the transmitter: • LOCK to access mode 1; • UNLOCK to access mode 2; • TRUNK to access mode 3; • START/STOP to access mode 4. The parking lights will flash and the horn will honk once (if configured), twice three times or four times to confirm entry into a mode. 3. Release the brake pedal. 4.
In each function, once an option has been selected the parking lights will flash 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 times (depending on the selected option). Please note that the different functions within any particular mode can only be accessed sequentially: the programming centre will move from function 1 to function 2, then to function 3, and so on. Therefore, whenever you access a particular mode, be prepared to re-configure all the functions of that mode in ascending order.

Note: The L.E.D. follows the parking lights during the transmitter programming procedure. At any time, close the hood to end the tach-programming procedure. Automatic Tach Programming This simple procedure can replace the multi-speed tach programming procedure: 1. Make sure that all the connections are properly made and that the module is powered up. 2. With the hood up (ground on the hood pin switch line), start the vehicle using the key. 3. Allow the vehicle to reach regular engine idle speed.
5. d. To decrease the pulse by 10 ms, press the TRUNK button. To save the new settings: press LOCK and UNLOCK. If 3 chirps are returned the new settings have been saved. Adjusting chirp duration Otherwise close the hood to cancel the changes. For each timing change, the horn will chirp with the new settings, except in the following cases: • When the lower limit of 5 ms is reached, there will be a 1/4-sec. chirp. • When the upper limit of 200 ms is reached, there will be a 3/4-sec. chirp.
Most comebacks are the result of misunderstandings about how a product works or performs. Take the time to properly explain all functions and features to the customers before they leave the premises. Doing this will save time and money. Always make all your connections before plugging in the module, and be sure to test all functions properly before closing up the installation. Make sure the warning label is applied on a visible place under the hood.
note that most OEM systems will NOT rearm the alarm while the engine is running, but will still lock the doors. Smart Secure Lock If the vehicle is initially locked, upon remote start the module will trigger an unlock pulse and a disarm pulse before the engine is started. The module will lock again when the engine is running, and lock once again 4 seconds after shutdown.
• • Passive arming: the starter kill will arm automatically if it is not armed by remote within a 60-sec. delay. Press UNLOCK to disarm. Passive arming with 3-minute timeout: the starter kill will arm automatically after 3 minutes. Flashing LED There are three options available regarding the flashing LED: a) The LED flashes once the starter kill is activated (passive or active arming) and will turn itself off once the user turns the key to the IGNITION ON position.
Events playback The first four playback codes are start failure events. There is a pause after each event code is played back. The system will play back the most recent event first, then the second one, and so on. If there is no event at all to report, the parking lights will give one long flash.
