This wire outputs a single pulse when arming the system and two puls-
es when disarming the system. This wire will also output pulses for 30
seconds when the system is triggered or if panic mode is activated. If
the vehicle has a (+) horn circuit, a standard automotive SPDT relay or
a relay assembly package (p/n 8617) must be used.

 Internal Programming Jumper

Important: The module must be unscrewed to access the light flash jumper.

Light Flash
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 H1/2 WHITE
wire. In the (-) position, the on-board relay is disabled. The H1/2 WHITE wire
will supply a (-) 200 mA output suitable for driving factory parking light relays.
To access the jumper, open the control module.

Important: For parking light circuits that draw 10 amps or more, the internal
jumper must be switched to a (-) light flash output. P/N 8617 or a standard au-
tomotive SPDT relay must be used on the H1/2 light flash output harness wire.

 Onboard Dual Stage Zone 2 Impact Sensor
Impact sensor adjuster

There is a dual-stage impact sensor inside the control unit. Adjustments are
made via the rotary control as indicated above. Since the impact sensor does
not work well when mounted firmly to metal, we recommend against screwing
down the control module. We recommend mounting the control module to a
large wiring loom.

Important: When adjusting the sensor, it must be mounted in the same loca-
tion where it will be after the installation is completed. Adjusting the sensor
and then relocating the module requires readjustment.

Bypassing Sensor Inputs

Sensors can be bypassed during auxiliary channel and add-on accessory op-
erations. During an auxiliary channel output apply ground to the H1/6 wire,
the sensors will be bypassed and will not trigger the alarm until several seconds
after the ground ceases. This is ideal for add-on remote starters and window
control modules:

 Nuisance Prevention Circuitry (NPC)
Nuisance Prevention Circuitry™ or (NPC) bypasses input zones for 60 min-
utes.This prevents annoying repetive trigger sequence due to faulty door pin
switches or environmental conditions such as thunder, jackhammers, and air-
port noise.

When the same zone triggers three times, less than an hour apart, the system
bypasses that zone for 60 minutes. If the zone does not trigger the system
during the 60-minute bypass period, zone monitoring begins again when 60
minutes has passed. If the zone does trigger while bypassed the 60-minute
bypass starts over again. The vehicle doors are protected differently by NPC.
If the system is triggered by an open door for three, full 30-second cycles (one
and one half minutes), the system bypasses the doors until the trigger ceases.

Disarming and rearming does not reset NPC. To reset NPC 60-minutes must
pass without a trigger, or it is reset when the ignition is turned on. The system is
able to trigger repeatedly, disarm, re-arm, and allow NPC to bypass a faulty
zone.
When disarming 5 chirps indicates NPC is active. The LED reports the by-
passed zone, as described in the table below.

Table of Zones
A zone is represented by the number of status LED flashes used by the
system to identify a particular type of input.

Feature Descriptions
1. Active/Passive Arming
• Active Arming: the transmitter must be used to arm the system.
• Passive Arming: after exiting the vehicle system arms automatically.
Note: Doors must be closed. The system is passively armed 30 seconds
after closing the doors.

2. Confirmation Chirps:
• ON: arm, disarm, and sensor warn-away chirps are active
• OFF: arm and disarm chirps are defeated, warn-away chirps are
active
3. Ign-controlled Locking
• ON: the door lock/unlock outputs activate when ignition is turned
on/off.
• OFF: the door lock/unlock outputs do not activate when ignition is
turned on/off.
Note: Doors must be closed for ignition lock to work.

4. Active/Passive Locking
• Active Locking: The doors do not lock when passively arming only
when using the remote.
• Passive Locking: The doors automatically lock when the system pas-
sively arms.

5. Door Lock Pulse

• 0.8 seconds: the door lock output pulses are 800mS in duration.
• 3.5 seconds: the door lock pulses are 3.5 seconds in duration.

6. Double Pulse Unlock

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine

 • OFF: the door unlock output provides a single pulse.
• ON: the door unlock output provides a double pulse.

7. Code Hopping
• ON: The code hopping portion of messages from the remote con-
trols are decrypted before a command is activated
• OFF: The code hopping portion of the remote control messages are
ignored resulting in possible range improvement.

8. Door Trigger Error Chirp

• ON: If the door trigger is active when arming, the siren emits 1
additional chirp to alert you.
• OFF: An active door trigger when arming does not generate an
alert output.
9. Double Pulse Lock
• OFF: Lock output provides a single pulse.
• ON: Lock output provides a double pulse.

10. Comfort Closure

• OFF: Comfort Closure is defeated when arming.
• On: 800mS after door lock pulse or 2nd pulse for double setting.
Door lock output turns on again for 20 seconds.

Important: If the unit is disarmed while the 20 second timer is active

when closing the windows, Comfort Closure output immediately stops
before the doors unlock.

The alarm system does not monitor zone inputs for bypass notification,
Warn Away, or full trigger inputs - until the 20 second timer is completed.
This avoids any false system triggering while the windows are in motion.

 Troubleshooting
• Door input does not immediately trigger full alarm. Instead, first I hear
chirps for 3 seconds:
That’s how the progressive two-stage door input works! This is a feature of
this system. This is an instant trigger, even if the door is instantly re-closed,
the progression from chirps to constant siren will continue.
• Closing the door triggers the system, but opening the door does not:
Have you correctly identified the type of door switch system? This often
happens when the wrong door input has been used.

• System will not passively arm until it is remotely armed and then dis-
armed:
Are the door inputs connected? Is the H1/6 Blue wire connected to the
door trigger wire in the vehicle? Use the H1/5 Green or the H1/7 violet
wire instead.Door input does not respond with the progressive trigger,
but with immediate full alarm:
Does the LED indicate that the trigger was caused by the impact sensor?
(See Table of Zones section of this guide.) The impact sensor, if set to
extreme sensitivity, may be detecting the door unlatching before the door
switch sends its signal. Reducing the sensitivity can solve this problem.

• The Valet/Program button does not work:

Is it plugged into the correct socket? The button plugs into the Blue 2-pin
port.

• The LED system status indicator does not work:

Is the LED plugged into the correct socket? The LED plugs into the White
2-pin port.
• Starter interrupt does not work:
Is the correct wire being interrupted? If the vehicle starts when the starter
interrupt is disconnected, the wrong wire has been cut.
Is the Yellow H1/9 ignition wire connected to true ignition? Wire must be
powered in the run and start positions in order to work properly.
