VACUUM MODE
The systems can operate in vacuum mode as
Well as tach mode. Although Vacuum mode
requires an optional normally closed vacuum
switch.
In order for the system to work in vacuum
mode you must first set the tach signal to a
setting of 8 flashes. (see manual tach
adjustment)
The vacuum switch has two contacts, one
contact must connect to the tach input of the
module, and the other contact must be
connected to +12v.
TACH WATCH LOCKOUT
Tach Watch lockout is a safety feature built
into the remote starter to protect the vehicle’s
starter motor. If, during remote start, the
vehicle’s engine ever cranks the entire
programmed crank time without detecting any
tach pulses during the first crank cycle, the
unit will go into tach watch lockout. The
diagnostics for this is 3 quick parking light
flashes when trying to remote start the vehicle.
If your module is in Tach Watch Lockout it is
indicating that a problem exists with the tach
signal it is receiving. Verify that the tach wire
from the remote starter is properly connected
to a good tach signal in the vehicle.
To remove the unit from Tach Watch Lockout
you must do the following:
1. Close the hood
2. Disable starter kill (if installed)
3. Start the engine using the key.
4. Let it run for at least 25 seconds, then shut
it off.
5. The module should now be out of Tach
Watch Lockout.
If module is still in Tach Watch Lockout
move tach wire to a better tach source and
perform an Automatic Tach Setting. Then
repeat steps 1 to 5.
IDLE MODE
When programmed this option allows the
user to engage the remote starter to take
over the vehicle while it is already running.
This option will keep the vehicle running for
the programmed run time or until shut down
by remote control.
To activate Idle Mode you must do the
following:
1. Select Mode 2, Function 4, Option 1 for
gasoline engines.
2. With vehicle running press either button
on the transmitter until the parking lights
come on.
3. Remove the key and exit the vehicle.
4. Vehicle will stay running for the entire
programmed run time.
DIESEL ENGINES
All systems are equipped with a dedicated
“GLOW PLUG” input (pin #4).
This input must be wired to the “Wait to
Start” light in the vehicle and must receive
12 volts for as long as the light is on. When
this input is used a protection diode must be
installed on the brake input.
Note: On some diesel vehicles the wait to
start light is a negative when ON, for this
type of system a relay must be used to
convert the signal to a positive.
RESETING THE MODULE
The systems are equipped with a reset
function that allows the installer to erase all
transmitter codes and return all programmed
options to factory default.
To reset the module:
1. Turn the valet switch “off”.
2. Temporarily ground to pin # 12 (External
Trigger).
3. Turn the Ignition “ON”.
4. Raise hood.
5. Press and hold brake pedal.
6. Turn valet switch “on”
7. Lights should flash 8 times quickly.
8. Press transmitter button within 5
seconds of parking light flashes to
program transmitter.

default settings.
