To ease and reduce installation time, we suggest you consider the following points before starting.

1. Determine most suitable locations for all components to be placed. These components include: the module

itself, override / programming switches, and possible relays.

2. Use a Volt-Ohm meter to test and locate all connections.

3. Record all color codes of vehicle wiring to be used for reference. This will save time by not having to re-test the

same wires over again.

4. Allow enough wire to create a service loop with strain relief, should servicing be required. This will also allow

easier access and mounting.

**FOR SAFETY REASONS, DO NOT INSTALL RS900/901 in vehicles with MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS.** If

accidentally left in gear, a remote started vehicle could become a self-propelled threat to life and property.

DO NOT extendtheRS-900Remotestartignitionharnesslength. Mountthemodulesothatmainharnessreaches

all ignition switch wiring. Extending these wires could result in poor performance.

DO NOT route any wiring that may become entangled with brake, and gas pedals, steering column, or any other

moving parts in the vehicle.

door pin circuit depending on your requirements.

PIN 12: RED/WHITE: TACHOMETER INPUT

When installing the RS900 Series II in CONVENTIONAL TACH mode, this wire must be connected to a valid

source of AC voltage. This wire allows the RS900 to sense the engine and control the starter motor.

TACH MODE

Tach Mode: The Tach mode is the most reliable and consistent method of engine speed sensing. When

using this mode, the WHITE/RED wire provides the input for the pulsing signal that is created by a running

engine to monitor and control the starter motor. Most modern engines include various points where this proper

signal may be obtained. TACH SENSE EXAMPLES: Negative (-) side of ignition coil, Distributor, Ignition

Module, Coil Pack, Engine Computer, or Crankshaft Sensor. Sometimes Fuel injection solenoids, and

Alternator stator pins can be used if necessary.

Note: The locations above are provided as a guide, your vehicle may differ. Some locations will NOT be

a good location for Tach source. Some of the locations given may be too noisy for the system to detect

a clean signal and/or the vehicle uses a Multi-spark ignition system that varies the spark. (Noisy

meaning Electrical or RF interference) Call Crimestopper for Tech Support when you cannot locate a

proper tach source for your vehicle.

TACH SOURCE PROGRAMMING:

1. Open hood

2. Connect WHITE/RED wire to Ignition coil or RPM source.

3. Start engine with key.

4. Press program button 5 times, then wait for 5 light flashes.

5. Wait at least one second then push program button slowly (4) times, you should get a light flash after each

button press. This unit is now at option #4-Tach Learning.

6. Press Button #1 on the transmitter and the unit will read the Tach source and flash the lights twice for

confirmation.

NOTE: THE RS900 II is Factory Set in “Smart Tachless” Mode by default. When using Standard Tach Mode,

programming the tach pulses automatically takes the unit out of “Smart Tachless” Mode. See below for

“Smart Tachless mode information.

FAIL SAFE PROTECTION:

If the WHITE/RED TACH input wire becomes disconnected duetowearandtearor whenthevehicle

is serviced, the RS900 will automatically go into “Smart Tachless” mode to allow the unit to continue

starting the engine

“SMART TACHLESS” MODE

Smart Tachless Mode-This RS900 Series II includes custom vehicle monitoring circuitry that allows it to start an

engine with optimum efficiency and consistency every time. When in Smart Tachless Mode no tach wire is

required. The system actively monitors the vehicle over the life of the installation regardless of weather or battery

conditions. This allows the Remote Start System to compensate for a fading battery or harsh environmental

conditions and adjusts itself as needed for optimum starting capability.

TO SET SMART TACHLESS MODE: (No Tach Wire Required)

1) Turnonheadlightsabout20secondstodrainoffsurfacechargeof the vehicle battery. This step is not neededif

the vehicle has been sitting for 2 hours or more.

2) Connect the +12V input wires to the RS900 Series II.

3) The unit will automatically read and program itself for your vehicle when 12 volts is applied.

SMART TACH JUMPERS: (Remove Access Door on top of module)

The purpose of the jumpers is to reduce the cranking time of starter crank when in “Smart Tachless” mode only.

PIN ORIENTATION: Looking at remote start upright with harnesses facing down (or towards you).

To shorten the crank time adjustment one level, remove the jumper at the far right. Test the unit and see if the

decrease is correct. If a shorter crank time is still required, then remove the middle jumper. Test the unit and see if

the decrease is correct. There are only (2) adjustments. Removing the third jumper will not make any change to

the crank time. These (2) setting should correct most cranking times when in Smart Tachless mode.

NOTE: (1) If you connected the 12 volts lines early in the install before connecting the input and output

wires, the RS900 may not have the correct reference for your vehicle. If this is the case, power down the

unit and perform the steps under “Smart Tachless”mode again.

(2) If you have changed battery in the vehicle, wait 2 hours before attempting a remote start or wait

for 2 hours after the vehicle has been driven to allow the unit to update itself to the new battery.

TACH WIRE TROUBLESHOOTING-TACH MODE

TACH wire trouble shooting applies to installations using Tach learning mode, not “Smart Tachless”. If all remote

start wiring has been completed, attempt a remote start. If engine starts, and starter disengages quickly, and

engine continues to run, the tach wire has been properly connected.

** If system does not remote start properly, you will have to locate a different tach wire and reprogram.

AN INADEQUATE TACH SOURCE WILL PRESENT ANY VARIETY OF THE FOLLOWING PROBLEMS:

•Starter stays engaged after engine starts.

•Starterreleasesproperlywhenenginestarts,butenginethenstalls BEFORE the time out. System may re-start.

•Starter releases properly, and engine runs, but then starter re-engages. (This makes a terrible grinding noise

and the system must be shut off as quickly as possible to prevent damage to starter and flywheel).

IGNITION SWITCH WIRING

5 OR 6* PIN HIGH-CURRENT CONNECTORS:

( *Some units may be shipped with a 5-pin connector and a separate spade connector for the White parking lamp wire or the unit

may have 6 pin for all the High-Current spades. There is no difference between the two.) See diagram for typical connections.
