Do not disconnect the battery if the vehicle has an anti-theft coded radio. If equipped with an airbag, avoid disconnecting the battery if possible. IMPORTANT! Please read this entire installation guide before beginning the installation. The installation of this security system requires interfacing with many of the vehicle’s systems. Many new vehicles use low-voltage or multiplexed systems which can be damaged by low resistance testing devices, such as test lights or logic probes.

The first step in hot-wiring a vehicle is removing the driver's side underdash panel to access the starter and ignition wires. If the control module is placed just behind the driver's side dash it can easily be disconnected.
integrated LED/Valet® switch Things to remember when positioning the integrated LED/Valet® switch: • It should be visible from both sides and the rear of the vehicle, if possible. • It needs at least 1-1/2" clearance to the rear. • It is easiest to use a small removable panel, such as a switch blank or a dash bezel. Remove it before drilling your 5/16" hole.
IMPORTANT! Do not remove the fuse holder on the red (H1/11) wire. It ensures that the control module has it’s own fuse, of the proper value, regardless of how many accessories are added to the main power feed. finding the 12V switched ignition wire The ignition wire is powered when the key is in the run or start position. This is because the ignition wire powers the ignition system (spark plugs, coil) as well as the fuel delivery system (fuel pump, fuel injection computer).
finding a parking light wire The parking light wire is often found near the switch. Many cars have the switch built into the turn signal lever, and in these cars the parking light wire can be found in the steering column. The same wire is often available in the kick panel or running board. (+) parking light wire Use the following procedure to find (+) parking light wire with your multimeter. 1. Set to DCV or DC voltage (12V or 20V is fine). 2. Attach the (-) probe of the meter to chassis ground. 3.
4. Turn on the parking lights. If your meter shows (+)12V, turn off the parking lights and make sure it goes back to zero. 5. If it does return to zero, turn the parking lights back on and, using the dash light dimmer control, turn the brightness of the dash lights up and down. If the meter changes more than a volt when using the dimmer, look for another wire. If it stays relatively close to (+)12V, you have found your parking light wire.

IMPORTANT! Never interrupt any wire other than the starter wire. H1/2 WHITE light flash output: As shipped, this wire should be connected to the (+) parking light wire. It will supply a (+) 10A output. If the light flash polarity fuse jumper inside the unit is moved to the opposite position (see Internal Jumpers), this wire supplies a (-) 10A output. This is suitable for driving (-)parking light wires. © 2003 directed electronics, inc.
LIGHT BULB (+) 12V WHITE H1/2 (-) LIGHT FLASH OUTPUT PARKING LIGHT RELAY OR SWITCH H1/3 WHITE/BLUE -) 200 mA channel 3 output: This wire supplies a (-) 200 mA output whenever the button on transmitter programmed for channel 3 is pressed. This output is used to control optional accessories. This channel can be programmed to provide the following types of output (see feature programming section of this guide). 1. A validity output will send a signal as the transmission is received. 2.
H1/5 GREEN (-) door trigger input: Most vehicles use negative door trigger circuits. Connect the green wire to a wire which shows ground when any door is opened. In vehicles with factory delays on the domelight circuit, there is usually a wire that is unaffected by the delay circuitry. H1/6 BLUE (-) instant trigger: This input will respond to a negative input with an instant trigger. It is ideal for hood and trunk pins and will report on zone one.
H1/8 BLACK (-) chassis ground connection: 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. All components, should be grounded to the same point in the vehicle if possible. H1/9 YELLOW (+) ignition input: Connect this wire to the (+)12V ignition wire. This wire must show (+)12V with the key in Run position and during cranking. Take care to insure that this wire cannot be shorted to the vehicle chassis at any point.
H1/11 RED (+)12V constant power input: Before connecting this wire, remove the supplied fuse. Connect to the battery positive terminal or the constant 12V supply to the ignition switch. NOTE: Always use a fuse within 12 inches of the point you obtain (+)12V. Do not use the 15A fuse in the harness for this purpose. This fuse protects the module itself.

H2/6 VIOLET/BLACK (-) 200 mA channel 4 output: This wire supplies a (-) 200 mA output whenever the button on transmitter programmed for channel 4 is pressed. This output is used to control optional accessories. IMPORTANT! Zones 2 and 4 are shunted when this channel becomes acttive. Zones 2 and 4 reactivate 5-seconds after this output ceases. H2/7 YELLOW/BLACK no function.
four-pin optional sensor harness RED wire The red wire supplies constant power to the optional sensor. BLACK wire The black wire supplies ground to the optional sensor. BLUE, GREEN wires The blue and green wires are multiplex inputs. They are both tied to the same zone. If an input of less than 0.8 seconds is supplied to either wire the Warn-Away® response will occur. An input longer than 0.8 seconds to either wire will initiate the triggered sequence and report zone 4.
on-board dual stage shock sensor Less Sensitive More Sensitive There is a dual-stage shock sensor inside the control module. Adjustments are made via the rotary control as indicated above. Since the shock sensor does not work well when mounted firmly to metal, we recommend against screwing down the control module. The full trigger of the onboard shock sensor reports zone 2. See Table of Zones.
internal programming jumper A 10A fuse is used as both a fuse and a program jumper. This jumper determines the light flash output polarity. In the (+) position, the on-board relay is enabled and the unit will output (+)12V on the WHITE wire, H1/2. In the (-) position, the on-board relay is enabled for (-) output on the WHITE wire, H1/2. To access the jumper, remove the sliding door from on top of the control module, as shown below.

NOTE: The Warn Away® response does not report on the LED. The Long Term Event History will exit if the ignition is turned off or there is no activity for 60-seconds. rapid resume logic The current state of the alarm will be stored in non-volatile memory. If power is lost and then reconnected, the system will recall the stored state from memory (arm, disam, and Valet® mode).

troubleshooting starter kill does not work: z Is the correct starter wire being interrupted? If the car starts when the starter kill relay is completely disconnected, the wrong starter wire has been cut and interrupted. • Is the yellow wire connected to “true” ignition? Make sure this wire is connected to a wire that has power in the run and start positions. the Valet® switch does not work. • Is it plugged into the correct socket? See the integrated LED/Valet® Switch section.
