2-2 TACH WIRE SENSE/VOLTAGE SENSE: If the tachometer signal wire is used, this feature must be left in the
default (tach wire connected) setting. If programmed to the voltage sense setting, the unit will crank the starter
for a preset time that can be programmed in Feature 5. Once the starter has been engaged, the system will check
the voltage level to verify the engine is running. The threshold for the voltage level test can be programmed in
Feature 2-6. When using voltage sense mode, connection of the H3/5 WHITE tachometer input is not necessary.
2-3 RUN TIME 12/24/60 MINUTES: This feature controls how long the engine will run before it “times
out” and shuts down. Programmed to the default setting the engine will run for 12 minutes. If the 24-
minute run time is desired, change this feature to the on-board LED off setting.
2-4 PARKING LIGHTS FLASHING/CONSTANT: In the default setting, the unit will flash the vehicle’s parking
lights while remote started. The constant setting will turn the parking lights on solidly for the entire run dura-
tion.
2-5 CRANK TIME 0.6/0.8/1.0/1.2/1.4/1.6/1.8/2.0/4.0: If Feature 2-2 is programmed to the voltage sense
setting, the crank time must be set to the appropriate duration. The default setting is 0.6 second. If a different
crank time is desired, select Feature 2-5 and (while pressing the Valet®/Program switch) advance to the next
time by pressing the Channel 2 button. The unit will flash the LED to indicate which time is selected. Once the
4.0 second setting is reached the next press of Channel 2 will reset the system to the shortest setting.
2-6 VOLTAGE CHECK LEVEL HIGH/LOW: This feature only functions when Feature 2-2 is programmed to voltage
sense. Some vehicles have many accessories, which are turned on when remote started. In these vehicles, the
variation of voltage between the engine off and the vehicle running is very slight and the remote start unit may
“think” the vehicle has not started. This can cause the remote start to shut down after the vehicle has been
started. If this is the case, program this feature to the LOW position.
2-7 AUXILIARY OUTPUT: Factory alarm disarm/ignition three output: In the default setting this wire sends a
negative pulse that may be used to disarm the vehicles factory security system. If programmed for an ignition
three output, the wire can be used to energize a relay to power up extra ignition wires in the vehicle.
2-8 BLUE WIRE STATUS OUTPUT/FACTORY RE-ARM OUTPUT: The blue (H3/1) wire will supply a 200mA (-) output
for the entire remote start run time. If programmed for factory re-arm output, this wire will supply a momentary
200mA (-) pulse whenever the remote start times out or is shut down with the transmitter. This can be used to
re-arm many factory security systems.
2-9 AUTOMATIC ANTI-GRIND ON/OFF: With the anti-grind on (default) the ground-when-armed output will be
active during remote start operation. If accessories such as a voice module or window module are added to the
unit, it may be necessary to program this feature off.
