installation points to remember This product represents many years of research and development. It is very sophisticated and should be installed by experienced security installers only. Please do not attempt installation of this product without reading this guide. The system has been designed to provide the ultimate in security, coupled with limitless convenience and expansion options.
deciding on component locations locations for the siren Some things to remember about mounting the siren: ■ Keep it away from heat sources, such as radiators, exhaust manifolds, turbochargers, and heat shields. ■ Mount it where a thief cannot easily disconnect it, whether the hood is open or shut. Both the siren and its wires should be difficult to find. This usually involves disguising the wire to look like a factory harness. ■ We recommend against grounding the siren to its mounting screws.
■ The higher the control module is in the vehicle, the better the transmitter range will be. If you put the control module under a seat or inside a metal dashboard, range will suffer, and you may wish to add a DEI® 542T Range Extending Antenna (available separately). Some good control module locations: above the glove box, inside the center console, above the under-dash fuse box, above the radio, etc.
locations for valet/program switch IMPORTANT! When the vehicle is delivered, please show the user where this switch is located and how to disarm the system with it. Ensure that the location you pick for the switch has sufficient clearance to the rear. The switch should be well hidden. It should be placed so passengers or stored items (such as in a glove box or center console) cannot accidentally hit it. The switch fits into a 9/32-inch hole. This system has Remote Valet®.
locations for the starter kill relay If starter kill relay or its connections are immediately visible upon removal of the under-dash panel, they can easily be bypassed. Always make the relay and its connections difficult to discern from the factory wiring! Exposed yellow butt connectors do not look like factory parts, and will not fool anyone! For this reason, routing the starter kill wires away from the steering column is recommended.
How to find (+)12V ignition 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. Probe the wire you suspect of being the ignition wire. The steering column harness or ignition switch harness is an excellent place to find this wire. 4. Turn the ignition key switch to the run position. If your meter reads (+)12V, go to the next step. If it doesn’t, probe another wire. 5. Now turn the key to the start position.
Once you have determined the wire color, the easiest place to connect to the wire is often at the kick panel, at the windshield pillar, or in the running board. When an easy location is not available, running a wire to the domelight itself is often the best solution. How to find a door pin switch trigger wire with your multimeter: 1. Set to DCV or DC voltage (12V or 20V is fine). 2. In most Fords, fasten the (-) probe of the meter to chassis ground.

primary harness wire connection guide This guide describes in detail the connection of each wire. Also included are possible applications of each wire. This system was designed with the ultimate in flexibility and security in mind. Many of the wires have more than one possible function. Please read carefully to ensure a thorough understanding of this unit. H1/1 ORANGE (-) ground-when-armed output This wire supplies a (-) ground as long as the system is armed.
H1/3 WHITE/BLUE 200 mA (-) channel 3 output This wire provides a 200 mA (-) output whenever the transmitter button(s) controlling channel three is pressed. This output can be programmed to provide the following types of output (see System Features Learn Routine section in this guide): ■ A validity output will send a signal as long as the transmission is received. ■ A latched output will send a signal continuously when channel three pressed and will continue until channel three is pressed again.
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.) We recommend grounding all your components, including the siren, to the same point in the vehicle. NOTE: Remove any paint below ring connector. H1/9 YELLOW (+) ignition input Connect this wire to the (+)12V ignition wire.
H1/10 BROWN (+) siren output Connect this to the red wire of the Revenger® siren. Connect the black wire of the siren to (-) chassis ground, preferably at the same point you connect the control module’s black ground wire. 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.
H2/B BLACK/WHITE input to domelight supervision relay This wire determines what the output polarity of H1/4 will be. If the door pin circuit is negative, connect to chassis ground. If the it is positive, connect to a fused 12V source. H2/C - H2/H power door locks The system has door lock relays on-board, and can directly interface with most electric power door lock systems drawing 30 amps or less. It can also drive aftermarket actuators directly.
type E: electrically activated vacuum systems The vehicle must have a vacuum actuator in each door. Make sure that locking the doors from the driver's or passenger side using the key activates all the actuators in the vehicle. This requires a slight modification to the door lock harness. Mercedes-Benz and Audi 1985 and newer. type F: one-wire system - cut to lock, ground to unlock This system is found in the late-model Nissan Sentra, some Nissan 240SX, and Nissan 300ZX 1992-up.
H2/C WHITE/BLACK Once both door lock wires are located and cut, connect the white/black wire to the master switch side of the lock wire. The master switch side will show (+)12V when the master switch is operated to the lock position and (-) ground when the master switch is in the middle position. H2/D GREEN/BLACK Connect the green/black wire to the other side of the lock wire. This is the motor side of the lock wire and it goes to the lock motor through the slave switch.

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. 22 © 1999 Directed Electronics, Inc.
type E: electrically-activated vacuum (type e) This system is found in Mercedes-Benz and Audi 1985 and newer. The door locks are controlled by an electrically activated vacuum pump. Control wire will show +12V when doors are unlocked and (-) ground when doors are locked. IMPORTANT! The system must be programmed for 3.5 second door lock pulses.
type F: one-wire system - cut to lock, ground to unlock This 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 Sentra, some Nissan 240SX, and Nissan 300ZX 1992-up. It is also found in some Mazda MPV's. IMPORTANT! Remember that the violet jumper between the #87 lock terminal and the #87 unlock terminal must be cut.
plug-in harnesses super bright LED, 2-pin white plug The super bright LED operates at 2V DC. Make sure the LED wires are not shorted to ground as the LED will be damaged. Multiple LED’s can be used, but they must be wired in series. The LED fits into a 9/32 inch mounting hole. Be sure to check for clearance prior to drilling the mounting hole. valet/program switch, 2-pin blue plug The Valet®/Program switch should be accessible from the driver’s seat. It plugs into the blue port on the side of the unit.
Diagram for adding optional DEI® dual stage sensor to green wire (zone 4) BLUE (-) multiplex input Inputs shorter than 0.8 seconds will trigger the Warn Away® response, while inputs longer than 0.8 seconds will trigger full alarm sequence and report zone two. RED (+)12V constant, BLACK (-) ground Red is (+)12V constant, black is (-) ground: Do not use these for anything besides the plug-in shock sensor. 26 © 1999 Directed Electronics, Inc.
internal programming jumper light flash jumper This jumper is used to determine the light flash output. 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 disabled. The WHITE wire, H1/2, will supply a 200 mA (-) output suitable for driving factory parking light relays. © 1999 Directed Electronics, Inc.
bypassing sensor inputs There are times when you need to temporarily bypass all sensor inputs to the unit, such as when remote starting the vehicle. Anytime an auxiliary channel output is used, all inputs are bypassed for 5 seconds. During the 5 second bypass period, ground can be supplied to the H1/6 Blue wire without triggering the unit.
system features learn routine The System Features Learn Routine™ dictates how the unit operates. Due to the number of steps, they have been broken up into two menus. It is possible to access and change any of the feature settings using the Valet®/Program switch. However, this process can be greatly simplified by using the optional DEI Bitwriter or Personal Computer Interface, P/N 996T.
ration transmitter (or the button that is assigned to channel 2 on a single button arm/disarm configuration transmitter) will select the two chirp setting. (See Transmitter/Receiver Learn Routine section of this guide.) NOTE: The Valet® pulse count feature (2-5) and the Channel three timed output (2-9) have five possible settings each. Pressing channel 2 will toggle through all the possible settings. 6. Release the Valet®/Program button.
system features menus Items in bold text have been programmed to the two chirps setting at the factory. menu #1 - basic features FEATURE NUMBER ONE-CHIRP SETTING (DEFAULT) TWO-CHIRP SETTING 1-1 Active arming Passive arming 1-2 Chirps on Chirps off 1-3 Ignition-controlled door locks on Ignition-controlled door locks off 1-4 Active locking only Passive locking 1-5 Panic with ignition on No panic with ignition on 1-6 0.8 second door lock pulses 3.
feature descriptions The features of the system are described below. If the system is being programmed with a DEI® Bitwriter™ or 996T and a personal computer the options available may change. PC programmable options are indicated by the following icon: menu #1 - basic feature descriptions 1-1 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.
1-8 AUTOMATIC ENGINE DISABLE (AED) ON/OFF: AED is a full-time, passive starter disable that works independently of the security system. When turned on, the orange, ground-when-armed output (H1/1) will go active 30 seconds after the ignition is turned off. The LED will flash at half its normal rate when the ignition is turned off to indicate that AED is active and will interrupt the starter in 30 seconds. AED does not occur in Valet® mode and can be bypassed using the emergency override procedure.
2-4 PROGRESSIVE DOOR TRIGGER ON/OFF: The system responds to a door trigger input with a progressive response. When the door is opened with the system armed, the siren will chirp 10 times prior to the full triggered sequence. The door trigger is still treated as an instant trigger and closing the door quickly will not prevent a full triggered sequence from occurring. If the progressive door trigger is programmed off, the full siren output will occur the moment the door is opened.
transmitter/receiver learn routine The system comes with two transmitters that have been taught to the receiver. The receiver can store up to 4 different transmitter codes in memory. Use the following learn routine to add transmitters to the system or to change button assignments if desired. Using the optional DEI Bitwriter or PC Interface, the learn routine may be locked. Make sure the learn routine is unlocked before programming features.
4. Press the transmitter button: While holding the Valet®/Program switch, press the button from the transmitter that you wish to assign to the selected channel. The unit will chirp indicating successful programming. It is not possible to teach a transmitter button to the system more than once. Channels #4-6: Channels 4 through 6 are used to assign the arm, disarm and panic functions to separate buttons on the remote control.
transmitter configurations The transmitters can be programmed with the standard or single button arm/disarm configurations by using the Auto Learn functions in the Transmitter/Receiver Learn Routine. standard configuration A remote that uses the standard configuration operates similarly to many factory keyless entry remotes. A standard configuration transmitter allows arming, disarming, and Panic Mode activation with separate buttons.
multi-level security arming Multi-Level Security Arming is a feature that allows you to select which of the security system's inputs or sensors will be active and which will be bypassed at the time that the system is armed. (See Table of Zones section in this guide.) Pressing the arm button (only on a Standard Configuration transmitter) again within five seconds of arming the security system will activate the Multi-Level Security Arming feature.
table of zones When using the Diagnostic functions, use the Table of Zones to see which input has triggered the system. It is also helpful in deciding which input to use when connecting optional sensors and switches. NOTE: The Warn Away® response does not report on the LED. ZONE NO. TRIGGER TYPE INPUT DESCRIPTION 1 Instant H1/6 BLUE wire. Connect to optional hood/trunk pins. 2 Multiplexed Input Blue wire of plug-in shock sensor. Inputs shorter than 0.
long term event history The system stores the last two full triggers in memory. These are not erasable. Each time the unit sees a full trigger, the older of the two triggers in memory will be replaced by the new trigger. To access long term event history: 1. With the ignition off, press and hold the Valet®/Program switch. 2. Turn on the ignition. 3. Release the Valet®/Program switch. 4. Press and release the Valet®/Program switch within 5 seconds.
® optional vehicle recovery system (VRS ) No additional parts are required to add the optional VRS® feature. However for the VRS® feature to be effective, the 8618 Starter Kill Relay must be installed. The VRS® feature can be activated with the remote transmitter and deactivated with the valet switch. If the VRS® option is selected it is recommended to program the Valet switch to respond to more than one pulse for maximum security. (See System Features Learn Routine section.) to arm VRS 1.
rapid resume logic The Rapid Resume Logic feature ensures that when the security system is powered back up after power has been disconnected, the system will resume the same state it was in before power was lost. For example, if power is disconnected during a full trigger sequence, the system will still be in the full trigger sequence when power is reconnected to the unit. If power is disconnected while the unit is disarmed, it will still be disarmed when power is restored.
■ Door input does not respond with the progressive trigger, but with immediate full alarm: What zone does the LED indicate? If the LED indicates that the impact sensor caused the trigger, the sensor may be detecting the door opening. Reducing the sensitivity or relocating the sensor can often solve this problem. If the LED indicates that the door caused the trigger, you may have programmed the progressive door trigger off. (See Feature 2-4 in the Feature Descriptions section of this guide.
