INSTALLATION OF THE MAJOR COMPONENTS

Control Module:

Select a mounting location inside the passenger compartment (behind the dash), and secure using the

two screws provided. The control module can also be secured in place using cable ties. Be certain that the

chosen location will not interfere with the proper operation of the vehicle. Avoid mounting the module to or

routing the wiring around the steering shaft/column, as the module or wiring may wrap around or block the

steering wheel preventing proper control of the vehicle. Secure the module in the chosen location using

cable ties or screws as necessary. Do not mount the module in the engine compartment, as it is not

waterproof.

Siren:

Select a location in the engine compartment that is not accessible from below the vehicle. The selected

location must be clear of hot or moving parts within the engine compartment The siren must be pointed

downward to prevent water retention and the flared end must be pointed away from and out of the engine

compartment for maximum sound distribution. Before securing the siren, check behind your chosen

location to assure that the mounting screws will not penetrate any factory wiring or fluid lines. Secure the

siren mounting bracket using #8 self taping screws or by first using the mounting bracket as a template,

scribe or mark the mounting holes. Drill the marked holes using a 1/8" drill bit, then mount the siren using

#8 sheet metal screws.

Dash Mounted LED:

A small Red LED included in the kit will serve as a visual indicator of the alarm's status. It should be

installed in the dash, located where it can be easily seen from outside the vehicle, yet not be distracting to

the driver. Once a location has been selected, check behind the panel for wire routing access, and to

confirm the drill will not damage any existing components as it passes through the panel.Drill a 1/4 " hole,

and pass the red and blue wires from the LED through the hole, from the front of the panel. Firmly press the

body of LED into the hole until fully seated.

Valet/Programming/Override Switch

Select a mounting location that is within reach of the ignition switch, as this switch in combination with the

ignition switch, will be used to program the certain features of the system. It is suggested that the switch be

mounted to the lower dash panel in the driver's area within reach of the driver.

Two Stage IR-s Shock Sensor:

Select a solid mounting surface for the shock sensor inside the passenger compartment (behind the dash),

and mount the sensor using cable ties, making sure to allow access to the sensitivity adjustment

potentiometer for use later in the installation.

WIRING THE SYSTEM

Red: +12 VDC CONSTANT BATTERY SOURCE

Connect this wire to a +12 Volt constant source found at the vehicles ignition switch. This wire provides

power for the control module.

Orange: 300 mA Ground Output When Armed -N.C. Starter Disable

This wire is provided to control the starter disable relay. Connect the orange wire to terminal 86 of the

relay. Connect relay terminal 85 to an ignition wire in the vehicle that is live when the key is in the ON and

CRANK positions, and off when the key is in the OFF position. (this is where the pink wire from the alarm

should be connected).

NOTE: This is a normally closed starter disable arrangement, and when power is removed from the security

system, the starter disable feature will not operate, allowing the vehicle to start. Code Systems does not

recommend using the Orange wire to interrupt anything but the starting circuit of the vehicle.

White: Parking Light Output (+/- 15 AMP MAX)

This wire is provided to flash the vehicle’s parking lights. Connect the white wire to the output side of one

of the vehicle’s parking lights.

White w/Red: Parking Light Polarity Input

This wire is provided as a polarity input of the pulsed parking light output relay.

a) For vehicles with positive switching parking lights. Connect the White/Red wire to a +12 VDC constant

battery source.

b) For vehicles with negative switching parking lights. Connect the White/Red wire to a solid chassis

ground source.

Black w/Red: Positive Siren Output

Route this wire through a rubber grommet in the firewall, and to the siren location.

Connect the Black/Red wire to the positive wire of the siren. Secure the black ground wire of the siren to

chassis ground.

Black: Chassis Ground

Connect this wire to a solid, metal part of the vehicle’s chassis. Do not confuse this wire with the thin

black antenna wire that exits the control module independently.

Tan/Black: Trunk Disarm Input (+)

This wire will determine if the vehicle's trunk has been opened using the factory (OEM) keyless entry

transmitter, and prevent the alarm from triggering when the factory (OEM) keyless entry transmitter is

used. This wire requires a pisitive trigger input and must be wired to the +12 volt trunk control wire from

the vehicles keyless entry system, or the switched +12 volt side of the vehicles trunk release solenoid.

Grey: (-) Hood/Trunk Trigger

This is an instant on ground trigger wire. It must be connected to the previously installed hood and/or

trunk pin switches.

Green: Negative Door Trigger Input

If the vehicle’s courtesy light switches have a (-) ground output when the door is opened (GM and most

Imports), you must connect the Green wire to the negative output from one of the door switches.

WARNING:

Do not use the green wire if the vehicle has + 12 volt output type door switches.(see Purple Wire).

Violet: Positive Door Trigger Input

If the vehicle’s door courtesy light switches have a + 12 volt output when the door is opened (most Fords

and some Imports), you must connect the Violet wire to the positive output from one of the door switches.

In most cases, the Violet wire will only needs to be connected to one door switch, no matter how many

doors the vehicle has.

WARNING:

Do not use the Violet wire if the vehicle has ground output type door switches. (see Green Wire)

Pink: (+) 12 VDC Ignition Source

Connect this wire to the ignition 1 wire from the ignition switch. This wire will show +12 volts when the

ignition key is turned to the to the ON, RUN and START positions, and will have 0 volts when the key is

turned to the OFF and ACCESSORY positions.

Blue: 30 Second Output When ARMED (-) or Passive Door Lock Output (-)

This wire is programmable to provide either a 30second pulsed output when the CA310 is ARMED or a

pulsed ground output to the factory door lock control relay for a passive door locking feature. The

maximum current draw through these outputs must not exceed 300 mA.

3 Wire Ground Switched Door Locks

In this application, the blue wire provides a ground pulse during passive arming, or the pulsed ground

lock output. Connect this wire to the wire that provides a low current ground signal from the factory door

lock switch to the factory door lock control relay.

Black/White: Illuminated Entry Output 200 mA (-)

This wire provides a 30 second ground output whenever the system is disarmed using the OEM

transmitter, and pulses ground when the alarm is triggered. It is used to providethe optional entry lighting

feature, and will flash the vehicle's interior light when the system is triggered. This is a transistorized, low

current output, and should only be used to drive an external relay.

3 Pin White Connector: White/Blue, Light Green & Brown. OEM Keyless Entry Inputs

These wires will allow the Factory (OEM) transmitter to arm the system when the LOCK button is pressed,

and disarm the system when the UNLOCK button is pressed.

White/Blue: Arm Input

Connect the white/blue to the lock motor wire of the drives door actuator. The lock motor wire will pulse +12

volts when the LOCK button is pressed on the Factory (OEM) transmitter.

Brown: Disarm Input

Connect the Brown to the unlock motor wire of the drivers door actuator. The unlock motor wire will pulse

+12 volts when the UNLOCK button is pressed on the OEM transmitter. For vehicles with two stage

unlocking, the unlock motor wire of the drivers door actuator will pulse +12 volts when the UNLOCK button

is pressed the first time (unlocking the drivers door), and will not show any pulses the second time the

UNLOCK button is pressed (unlocking all remaining doors) on the OEM transmitter.

Light Green: Unlock Sense Input

Connect the light green wire to the positive or negative unlock wire from the door lock/unlock switch, or any

passenger door unlock motor wire.

a). For vehicles with two stage unlocking, it is very important that the brown wire does not receive a pulse

when the drivers door only is unlocked using the OEM transmitter.

b). For vehicles with single stage unlocking (all doors unlock with one press of UNLOCK on the OEM

transmitter), connect the brown to chassis ground.

Note: You can select the polartiy of this input by changing DIP Switch #2

2 Pin White Connector: Dash Mounted LED

Route the red and blue wires in the 2 pin white connector from the LED to the control module, and plug it

into the mating white connector on the side of the module.

2 Pin Red Connector: Valet/Override Switch

Route the 2 pin red connector from the override switch previously mounted to the mating two pin

connector on the module.

4 Pin White Connector: IRS-Shock Sensor Harness

Route the 4 pin connector form the previously installed shock sensor to the mating 4 pin connector of the

module.

COMPLETING THE INSTALLATION

Adjusting the Shock Sensor: Gently turn the adjustment knob counterclockwise to turn down the sensitivity

and turn clockwise to turn up sensitivity. Close the hood and trunk lids, and arm the alarm . Wait 6 seconds

for the accessories trigger zone to stabilize, then test the sensitivity adjust as needed

CAUTION: Never perform this test on the vehicle’s glass, as you may break the window.

WARNING ! Setting the sensitivity too high can cause false alarms due to noise vibrations from passing trucks

and heavy equipment. To decrease sensitivity, turn the adjustment screw counter clockwise.

Wire Dressing: Always wrap the alarm wires in convoluted tubing, or with a spiral wrap of electrical tape.

Secure these looms along the routing using cable ties. This will ensure that the alarm wires are not

damaged by falling onto hot or sharp moving surfaces in the vehicle.
