what is included ■ Primary (H1) 12-pin harness ■ Remote start (H2) 2-pin input harness ■ Control module ■ Speaker p/n 518N ■ Plug-in LED harness ■ Plug-in program/record button harness ■ Plug-in microphone product description The 516L Voice Module is designed to add English or Japanese voice message capability to a vehicle security or remote start system. It can be programmed to generate generic or Viper-specific messages in either English or Japanese.
primary harness (H1), 12-pin connector The primary harness plugs into the 12-pin socket of the control module.
H1/5 BROWN optional (+) siren input: This wire is used to monitor the siren chirps of an alarm system and should only be connected if Silent Mode will be utilized. If you are using a DEI system, connect the H1/5 BROWN wire to the (+) siren output of the DEI security system. H1/6 BLACK WHITE, H1/7 RED/WHITE, and H1/8 BLUE/WHITE custom recorded multiplex inputs: These three wires are multiplex sensor inputs.
H1/10 YELLOW (+) 12V ignition input: The H1/10 YELLOW wire must be connected to the true (+)12V ignition wire of the vehicle, whether the 516L is being interfaced with a security system or a remote start system. H1/11 BLACK (-) chassis ground input: Remove any paint and connect this wire to bare metal, preferably with a factory bolt rather than your own screw. (Screws tend to either strip or loosen with time.
H2/1 ORANGE/BLACK (-) accessory input (optional): Connect the H2/1 ORANGE/BLACK wire to the (-) accessory output of the remote start system. This wire is located in the relay satellite ribbon harness on most DEI remote start systems. The remote start accessory output will show ground as long as the remote start is activated, except for a brief period when the system is cranking.
system feature descriptions FEATURE 1 - LANGUAGE: Dipswitch 1 is used to select either English or Japanese as the language in which the voice messages and programming instructions will be announced. FEATURE 2 - MESSAGE TYPE: Dipswitch 2 is used to select either Viper or generic voice messages. For example, when programmed for the Viper setting the system would announce “Viper disarmed”, while a system programmed with the generic setting would announce, “System disarmed.
recording user programmable messages The 516L provides nine 5-second message slots to record user programmable messages for the three auxiliary trigger inputs. These messages can be recorded and programmed using a learn routine. Depending on the language selected by the position of Dipswitch 1, programming instructions will be announced in either English or Japanese to guide the programmer through the steps of the recording learn routine. To record a voice message using the learn routine: 1.
voice messages The voice messages described in this section will be in either English or Japanese, and either generic or Viperspecific, depending on how the 516L was programmed. Also note that if Siren Monitoring (Feature 3 in the System Feature Programming section of this guide) has been programmed on, then Silent Mode may be activated and voice commands may be eliminated for a single arming or disarming cycle.

In order to retain the Silent Mode feature in a DEI system that is being used with the 516L, the H1/5 BROWN wire must be connected to the siren wire of the DEI system and Dipswitch #3, which controls the Siren Monitoring feature, must be turned on. (See Feature Descriptions in the System Feature Programming section of this guide.) The 516L monitors the siren output pulses to determine when to generate voice messages for the arm and disarm commands.
troubleshooting The 516L does not report arming and disarming messages: ■ Is the 516L ground-when-armed input wire connected to the security system’s ground-when-armed output? The 516L does not report arming and disarming messages, but when the vehicle ignition key is turned off, the 516L reports the disarming message: ■ If the security system has starter kill, the starter kill relay must be isolated with a 1-amp diode (1N4004).
