➜ step 1 Plug-in LED and Valet/Program switch The LED and the Valet®/Program switch both plug into the control module. The status LED plugs into the white two-pin port, while the Valet®/Program switch should be plugged into the blue two-pin port. The status LED and Valet®/Program switch each fit into 9/32–inch holes.
location using caution to NOT run the wires near any moving objects or excessive heat. The Valet®/Program switch is usually mounted under the dash or in the glove box, the same precautions used for the LED should be followed. Once a location has been selected drill a 9/32 hole, feed the wires through the hole and press the switch firmly until it snaps into place. Run the wires to the same location as the LED using caution to NOT run the wires near any moving objects or excessive heat.
SELF-TAPPING BOLT OR SCREW GROUND WIRE DIA-591 NOTE: REMOVE ANY PAINT BELOW RING CONNECTOR RING CONNECTOR ➜ step 3 Constant Power and Ignition wires Almost all power and ignition wires can be found behind the key cylinder under the lower drivers side dash panel. Using the appropriate hand tools, remove the lower dash panel using care not to break any parts. If the panel does not come off easily check for any additional screws you may have missed.
thicker wires. With the ignition harness exposed, use your digital multi-meter to find your power and ignition wires. Place the black lead of the meter to a clean metal surface in the kick panel area and secure it. Put the meter in the DC voltage position, then take the red lead of the meter and probe one of the thicker gauge wires. The color and identity of your specific vehicle wiring can be obtained at www.diyrattler.com. With the key in the OFF position, test the suspect wire.
➜ step 4 Starter wire The starter wire will be located in the same harness as the ignition and constant power. Leaving the meter black lead connected to the metal ground. Find the wire suspected to be the starter wire according to the web information on your vehicle. Place the red lead of your meter on the wire. With the key in the off position the meter should read 0.00 volts and will stay at 0.00 volts in all key positions except the crank position.
Connect the BLACK starter kill wires as shown below. Use one of these wires as the starter kill input and the other as a starter kill output wire (these wires are interchangeable). ➜ step 5 Parking light flash There are several different types of parking light circuits. The following description is for a standard positive-triggered parking light circuit, usually located at the light switch.
important: While reading the meter turn (adjust) the dash dimmer control switch. The voltage should not vary on the meter. If the voltage does vary the incorrect suspected wire has been tested. Find the correct wire and retest. Once you have identified the correct wire, solder the WHITE (H1/2) wire on the main connector to it and cover the connection with electrical tape. ➜ step 6 Door locks The system comes with a built in relay pack for door lock operation.
guide. The door lock guide identifies the type of system for your vehicle. With the built in door lock relays you can properly interface the power locks with your security system. If you are unable to identify your door lock system with the web information please contact Rattler Technical Support. Although there are numerous types of door lock circuits, the most common is the negative triggered door lock system. If your vehicle has a negative triggered door lock system, follow the steps below.
VW, newer BMW. ■ Type B: Three-wire (-) pulse controlling factory lock relays. Most Asian vehicles, early Saturn, some BMW and Porsche. ■ Type C: Direct-wired reversing-polarity switches. The switches are wired directly to the motors. This type of system has no factory relays. Most Fords, many GM two-doors cars and trucks, many Chryslers. ■ Type D: Adding one or more aftermarket actuators.
■ Type G: Positive (+) multiplex. This system is most commonly found in Ford, Mazda, Chrysler and GM vehicles. The door lock switch or door key cylinder may contain either one or two resistors. ■ Type H: Negative (-) multiplex. The system is most commonly found in Ford, Mazda, Chrysler and GM vehicles. The door lock switch or door key cylinder may contain either one or two resistors.
type A: positive-triggered, relay-driven system © 2003 directed electronics, inc.
type B: negative-triggered, relay-driven system This system is common in many Toyota, Nissan, Honda, and Saturn models, as well as Fords with the keyless-entry system (some other Fords also use Type B). The switch will have three wires on it, and one wire will test ground all the time. One wire will pulse (-) when the switch locks the doors, and the other wire will pulse (-) when the switch unlocks the doors. This type of system is difficult to mistake for any other type.
type C: direct-wired, reversing-polarity system testing reversing polarity systems Use these instructions if the power door lock switch has four or five heavy-gauge wires. This type of switch has two outputs that rest at (-) ground. important: To interface with these systems, you must cut two switch leads. The relays must duplicate the factory door lock switches’ operation.
It is critical to identify the proper wires and locate the master switch to interface properly. Locate wires that show voltage when the switch is moved to the lock or unlock position. Cut one of the suspect wires and check operation of the locks from both switches. If one switch loses all operation in both directions then you have cut one of the correct wires and the switch that is entirely dead is the master switch.
*note: Except in GM cars with retained accessory power (RAP). In these vehicles, the (+)12V feed to the door lock switches is turned off if the doors are closed for any length of time. note: Most direct-wired power lock systems require 20-30 amps of current to operate. Connecting the violet/black wire to a poor source of voltage will keep the door locks from operating properly. ■ H2/D BROWN/BLACK: Connect the brown/black wire to the master switch side of the unlock wire.
type D: adding one or more after-market actuators Vehicles without factory power door locks require the installation of one actuator per door. This requires mounting the door lock actuator inside the door. Other vehicles may only require one actuator installed in the driver's door if all door locks are operated when the driver's lock is used. note: Adding door lock actuators can be complicated. Please contact Rattler technical support prior to attempting the addition of actuators.
type E: electrically-activated vacuum This system is found in Mercedes-Benz and Audi 1985 and newer. The door locks are controlled by an electrically activated vacuum pump. The control wire will show (+)12V when doors are unlocked and (-) ground when locked. note: The system must be programmed for 3.5-second door lock pulses, and the violet jumper between the #87 lock terminal and the #87 unlock terminal must be cut. Contact Rattler technical support. © 2003 directed electronics, inc.
type F: one-wire system (cut to lock, ground to unlock) This type of door lock system usually requires a negative pulse to unlock, and cutting the wire to lock the door. (With some vehicles, these are reversed.) It is found in the late-model Nissan Sentras, some Nissan 240SX, Nissan 300ZX 1992 and later. It is also found in some Mazda MPV's. note: The violet jumper between the #87 lock terminal and the #87 unlock terminal must be cut. 26 © 2003 directed electronics, inc.
type G: positive (+) multiplex This system is most commonly found in Ford, Mazda, Chrysler and GM vehicles. The door lock switch or door key cylinder may contain either one or two resistors. SINGLE-RESISTOR TYPE: If one resistor is used in the door lock switch/key cylinder, the wire will pulse (+)12V in one direction and less than (+)12V when operated in the opposite direction.
3. Operate the door lock switch/key cylinder in both directions to determine the resistor values. If the multimeter displays zero resistance in one direction, no resistor is needed for that direction. 4. Once the resistor value(s) is determined, refer to the wiring diagram for proper wiring. type H: negative (+) multiplex The system is most commonly found in Ford, Mazda, Chrysler and GM vehicles. The door lock switch or door key cylinder may contain either one or two resistors.
TWO-RESISTOR TYPE: If two resistors are used in the factory door lock switch/key cylinder, the door lock switch/key cylinder will read resistance to ground in both directions. DETERMINING THE PROPER RESISTOR VALUES: To determine the resistor values, the door lock switch/key cylinder must be isolated from the factory door lock system. For testing, use a calibrated digital multimeter that is set to ohms. IMPORTANT: To ensure an accurate resistance reading, do not touch the resistor or leads during testing. 1.
Locate the suspected lock wire, and with the red meter lead still secured to a (+)12 volt source, probe the suspect wire with the black lead of the meter. Press the door lock switch to the lock position and watch the meter display. The correct wire will show a 10.00 to 12.00 volt pulse when the switch is pressed. note: Additional parts may be required to interface with certain door lock types. The Rattler Do-It-Yourself system comes with on board relays. 30 © 2003 directed electronics, inc.
➜ step 7 Door triggers The door trigger is the circuit in the vehicle that tells the dome light to come on when the door is opened. This wire can be either a positive 12 volt polarity or more commonly a negative ground polarity, the door trigger wire is mandatory for all security systems and can usually be identified on www.diyrattler.com.
Some newer vehicles have multiple door triggers or a wire for each door, if this is the case it may be necessary to diode isolate the triggers so the security system can see all triggers without the door triggers seeing each other. If your Vehicle has more than one door trigger listed on the vehicle information sheet please refer to the web site or call technical support.
the vehicle pull the remaining slack of the siren wire into the car and remove the sharp object. Route the wire to the desired position making sure to keep it away from all moving parts. Now solder the Red wire of the siren to the BROWN (H1/10) wire on the 12 pin main harness, cover the connection with electrical tape. Ground the Black siren wire to the same location as the BLACK (H1/8) ground wire of the 12 pin main harness.
➜ step 11 Hood/trunk pins The BLUE (H1/6) wire will respond to a negative input with an instant trigger. It is ideal for hood and trunk pins and will report on Zone 1. It can also be used with Directed Electronics 506T Glass Breakage Sensor, as well as other Directed Electronics single stage sensors. ➜ step 12 Adjusting the shock sensor note: The control module must be mounted in its permanent location before adjustments are made.
sensor will affect both zones simultaneously. To adjust the sensor, turn the adjustment screw on the side of the control module. ■ For a more sensitive setting turn the adjustment screw clockwise in small increments, testing the sensitivity after each adjustment until the desired setting is achieved. ■ For a less setting turn the adjustment screw counter clockwise in small increments, testing the sensor after each adjustment until the desired setting is achieved.
■ Rearm the system and test the remainder of the doors. ■ After testing the doors sit in the vehicle and close the doors, rearm the system and after 15 seconds turn the key on, the system will emit a series of chirps and then go into full trigger, at this time attempt to start the vehicle it should NOT crank. ■ Press the button on the transmitter to disarm the system and cycle the ignition key off, on, off to reset the system.
transmitter functions The receiver uses a computer-based learn routine to learn the transmitter buttons. This makes it possible to assign any specific transmitter button, or combination of buttons, to any receiver function. The transmitter initially comes programmed in the Standard Configuration, but may also be customized. Unless otherwise specified, the buttons used in all of the instructions in this manual correspond to a Standard Configured transmitter.

feature descriptions 1 ACTIVE/PASSIVE ARMING: When active arming is selected, the system will only arm when the transmitter is used. When set to passive, the system will arm automatically 30 seconds after the last door is closed. Passive arming is indicated by the rapid flashing of the LED when the last protected entry point is closed. 2 CONFIRMATION CHIRPS ON/OFF: This feature controls the chirps that confirm the arming and disarming of the system.
5 DOOR LOCK PULSE DURATION: Some European vehicles, such as Mercedes-Benz and Audi, require longer lock and unlock pulses to operate the vacuum pump. Programming the system to provide 3.5 second pulses will accommodate door lock interface in these vehicles. The default setting is 0.8 second door lock pulses. See Mercedes-Benz and Audi - 1985 and Newer (Type E Door Locks section) diagram. 6 DOUBLE PULSE UNLOCK OFF/ON: Some vehicles require two pulses on a single wire to unlock the doors.
using your system ➜ arming/locking with transmitter To arm and lock the doors press for one second. The parking lights will flash once and the siren will chirp once to confirm that the doors are locked. ➜ arming without transmitter The security system also can be programmed to arm itself without a transmitter (called passive arming).
➤ ➤ Heavy impacts will trigger the system. The triggered sequence is 30-seconds of constant siren sounding and flashing parking lights. If a protected entry (door, hood, or trunk) is opened, the system will immediately trigger the siren and flash the parking lights. The hood and trunk are instant alarm triggers. The door is a progressive trigger (a series of rapid chirps for a few seconds before the alarm sounds). The progressive trigger allows time for you to disarm of the system prior to the alarm.
To disarm the security system: 1.Turn the ignition key on. DRW-35 2.Press the Valet®/Program switch within 15 seconds. The system will now disarm. note: If the system does not disarm, you may have waited too long to press the Valet®/Program switch; turn the ignition off and repeat the process.
note: The Warn Away Response to lighter impacts is bypassed if the system is armed using the Silent Mode. This ensures that the siren does not chirp in an environment where you do not want chirps to be emitted. The system is still capable of being triggered by heavier impacts; only the Warn Away Response generated by light impacts is bypassed. ➜ panic mode If you are threatened in or near your vehicle, you can press for 1.5 seconds to trigger Panic Mode on your security system and attract attention.
➜ manual valet mode To enter or exit Valet Mode with the Valet switch: 1. Turn the ignition on. 2. Turn the ignition off. 3. Press and release the Valet switch within 10 seconds. DRW-35 The status LED will light steady if you are entering Valet Mode and will turn off if you are exiting Valet Mode. ➜ remote valet You can also enter or exit Valet Mode by using the remote transmitter: 1. Open any vehicle door. 2. Press . 3. Press . 4. Press again.
diagnostics The microprocessor at the heart of your system has the ability to constantly monitor all of the switches and sensors connected to it. It can detect any faulty switches or sensors and prevent them from disabling the entire system. It can also record and report any triggers that occur when you are away from your vehicle. ➜ arming diagnostics If the system is armed at the same time that an input is active (door opening, sensor triggering, etc.
➜ disarming diagnostics Your system has a Tamper Alert feature that notifies you of system triggers that occur while you are away from your vehicle. If you hear four chirps when you disarm, this indicates that the system was triggered in your absence. If you hear five chirps when you disarm, this indicates that a specific zone was triggered so many times that the NPC™ has bypassed that zone. In both cases, the pattern of the flashing status LED indicates which zone was triggered (see Table of Zones).
➜ system status chirps ACTION 54 NUMBER OF CHIPS Arm 1 Arm 1 (3-second delay), 1 DESCRIPTION System armed System armed with Bypass Notification Disarm 2 System disarmed Disarm 4 System disarmed with Tamper Alert Disarm 5 System disarmed NPC® active © 2003 directed electronics, inc.
➜ table of zones A zone is represented by the number of LED flashes used by the system to identify a particular type of input. Standard input assignments are listed in the following table, along with spaces to write in any optional sensors or switches that you have had installed.
interprets this pattern of triggers as false alarms. After the third trigger, the NPC™ ignores, or bypasses, that sensor or switch (along with any other sensors or switches sharing the same zone) for 60 minutes. If the bypassed sensor is triggered again while it is already being bypassed, the 60-minute bypass period will start over. This ensures that a sensor that is continually being triggered will remain bypassed. The vehicle doors are protected differently by NPC™.
code hopping ™ re-synchronize If the transmitter is pressed many times out of range, or the battery is removed, the transmitter may get temporarily out of synchronization and fail to operate the system. To synchronize the transmitter, simply press several times within range of the vehicle. The system will automatically synchronize and the transmitter will respond normally. troubleshooting ➤ Door input does not immediately trigger full alarm.
➤ System will not passively arm until it is remotely armed and then disarmed: Are the door inputs connected? Is the H1/6 blue wire connected to the door trigger wire in the vehicle? Either the H1/5 green or the H1/7 violet should be used instead. (See Primary Harness Wire Connection Guide section of this guide.
