second ignition, accessory or crank wire. The unit uses 3 sets of
pins; each set corresponds to a specific function of the output. In
order to activate one of the three possible functions, you must place
the jumper (supplied) on one of the three sets of pins and connect
the 14 AWG wire to the second IGN.
I
ACC.
I
CRANK wire of the
vehicle.
Caution!
Only one set of pins can be used at one time. Using more than one jumper may resuit in
serious damage to the vehicle. The relay output rating on this unit is 25 a at most. Defective
oem solenoid switches can sometimes draw up to 50 or 60 a, causing the 30 a fuse to
blow. Always verify your circuit with an appropriate measuring device.
Testing
Before putting back the vehicle together, it is recommended to check that the system operates properly. The following testing
procedures should be used to verify proper installation and operation of the system. Before testing, make sure that all
connections are soldered and that the unit is plugged in.
□
Remote-start the engine and listen for starter drag. If the starter cranks for too long, carry out another tach
programming procedure.
□
Hood switch shutdown. With the vehicle running under the remote car starter, open the hood; the vehicle
should shut down. If it does not shut down, check the hood pin-switch and its connector.
□
Brake shutdown circuit. With the vehicle running under the remote car starter, press and release the brake
pedal. The engine should shut down immediately. If the engine continues to run, check the brake switch
connection.
□
OEM alarm control. Make sure the module is able to arm and disarm the oem alarm (if applicable).
□
Door locks and trunk testing. Make sure each of these options respond to the transmitter (if installed).
□
Starter kill option. Sit inside the vehicle with all doors closed. Arm the vehicle, then try to start the engine with
the key. They engine should not start. If the engine starts, rewire the starter kill to reach proper operation.
□
Valet mode. Make sure the remote car starter is able to properly enter and exit valet mode. When setting the
remote car starter into valet mode, pressing the lock button will lock the doors without activating the starter kill.
(Refer to the user guide for further information on valet mode.)
□
Idle mode. Make sure the vehicle properly enters and exits idle mode.
□
Most comebacks are the result of misunderstandings about how a product works or performs. Take the
time to properly explain all functions and features to the customers before they leave the premises.
Doing this will save time and money.

Tach Programming
1. Flash the hood pin (see on page 1) — the parking lights will stay on for up to 20 seconds.
2. Before the lights go out, press and hold the brake pedal and press the
I
and
II
buttons simultaneously—the parking
lights will flash 4 times At that point, release the brake pedal.
3. Start up the engine and allow the vehicle to reach regular engine idle speed.
4. Once the engine is running idle, press the brake pedal and keep it down until you hear the parking lights output click
5 times.
5. Release the brake pedal —^the tach programming is now complete.
Tach jumper settings
Some new vehicles have a higher TACH
voltage threshold, which would fall out of the
normal TACH trigger circuit of the remote car
starter.
Changing
the
jumper
to
TACH
Threshold HIGH will allow the module to
properly detect the TACH signal.
