Do not disconnect the battery if the vehicle has an anti-theft-coded radio. If equipped with an air bag, avoid discon-

necting the battery if possible.

IMPORTANT! Many airbag systems will display a diagnostic code through their warning light after they lose

power.Disconnecting the battery requires this code to be erased, a procedure that can require a trip to the

dealer.

Before beginning the installation:

• Check with the customer on Status LED location.

• Remove the domelight fuse.This prevents accidentally draining the battery.

• Roll down a window to avoid being locked out of the car.

After the install:

• Test all functions.The "UsingYour System" section of the Owner's Guide is very helpful when testing.

• When testing, don’t forget that this system is equipped with Nuisance Prevention®Circuitry. NPC™can

bypass trigger zones, making them appear to stop working.(See page 21)

Step One:

Deciding on Component Locations

Siren

Some things to remember when mounting the siren:

• Keep it away from heat sources. Radiators, exhaust manifolds, turbochargers, and heat shields are all

things to avoid.

• Mount it where a thief cannot easily disconnect it, whether the hood is open or shut.Both the siren and

its wires should be difficult to find.This usually involves disguising the wire to look like a factory harness.

• We recommend against grounding the siren to its

mounting screws. Instead, we recommend running both

the red and black wires into the passenger compartment

and grounding to one common point for all devices.After

all, both wires are the same length and come already

bonded together.Whenever possible, conceal your wires

in the factory harnesses or in the same style loom as the

factory.

• When possible, put the siren on the same side of the

vehicle as the control module, where its wires will reach

the control module’s wires without extending them.

Always run the wires through the center of a grommet,

never through bare metal!

• Point the siren down so water does not collect in it.

Control Module

Never put the control module in the engine compartment!

The first step in hot-wiring a vehicle is removing the driver's side under-dash panel to access the starter and ignition

wires.If the control module is placed just behind the driver's side dash it can easily be disconnected.

When locating the control module, try to find a secure location that will not require you to extend the harnesses’

wires (they are 1.5 meters long). Keep it away from the

heater core (or any other heat sources) and any obvious

leaks.

The higher the control module is in the vehicle, the better

the transmitter range will be. If you put the control module

under a seat or inside a metal dashboard, range will suffer,

and you may wish to add a 542T Range Extending

Antenna (available separately).

Some good control module locations: Above the glove box,

inside the center console, above the under-dash fuse box,

above the radio, etc.

Stinger

Doubleguard

Shock Sensor

Never put the Stinger®in the engine compartment!

Find a spot close to the control module so that the wires do not need to be extended. Keep it away from the heater

core (or any other heat sources) and any obvious leaks.

How the Stinger is mounted is the most important factor in its performance.We recommend two mounting methods:

Using double-sided tape or hook-and-loop fastener to mount to a trim panel or an air duct, or wire-tying to a wire

harness. If mounting the sensor where it cannot be easily reached for adjustment, hook-and-loop fastening tape

(such as Velcro) is recommended for ease of removal for future adjustments.

NOTE: In many vehicles, tying the sensor to a steering column or screwing it to metal will result in poor

sensitivity, especially on the rear of the vehicle.

Valet®Program Switch

Ensure that the location you pick for the switch has sufficient clearance to the rear.The switch should be well hidden.

It should be placed so passengers or stored items (such as in a glove box or center console) cannot accidentally hit

it.The switch fits in a 9/32" hole.

This system has RemoteValet®.The user can enter and exit Valet®Mode without having to reach theValet®/program

switch. DEI®introduced this feature so that switch location was less critical in day-to-day use. As long as the

Valet®/program switch can be reached to disarm without a transmitter, easy access is not important.

IMPORTANT! When the vehicle is delivered, please show the user where the switches are located and how

to disarm the system with it.

Status LED

Things to remember when positioning the Status LED:

• It should be visible from both sides and the rear of the vehicle, if possible.

• It needs at least 1/2" clearance to the rear.

• It is easiest to use a small removable panel, such as a switch blank or a dash

bezel.Remove it before drilling your 9/32" hole.

• Use quick-disconnects near the LED wires if the panel is removable. This lets

mechanics or other installers remove the panel without cutting the wires.

Optional Starter Kill Relay

If Starter Kill Relay or its connections are immediately visible upon removal of the under-dash panel, they can easily

be bypassed.Always make the relay and its connections difficult to discern from the factory wiring! Exposed yellow

butt connectors do not look like factory parts, and will not fool anyone! For this reason, routing the starter kill wires

away from the steering column is recommended.

Step 2:

Finding theWiresYou Need

Now that you have decided where each component will be located, you’re going to find the wires in the car that the

security system will be connected to.

IMPORTANT! Do not use a 12V test light to find these wires! All testing described in this manual is

described using a digital multimeter.

Obtaining Constant 12V

We recommend two possible sources for 12V constant:The (+) terminal of the battery, or the constant supply to the

ignition switch. Always install a fuse within 12 inches of this connection.If the fuse also will be powering other

circuits, such as door locks, a power window module, a Nite-Lite®headlight control system, etc.;fuse accordingly.

IMPORTANT! Do not remove the fuse holder on the red wire.It ensures that the control module has its own

fuse, of the proper value, regardless of how many accessories are added to the main power feed.

Finding the 12V Switched IgnitionWire

The ignition wire is powered when the key is in the run or start position.This is because the ignition wire powers the

ignition system (spark plugs, coil) as well as the fuel delivery system (fuel pump, fuel injection computer).Accesso-

ry wires, on the other hand, lose power when the key is in the start position to make more current available to the

starter motor.

How to find (+)12V ignition with your multimeter:

1. Set to DCV or DC voltage (12V or 20V is fine).

2. Attach the (-) probe of the meter to chassis ground.

3. Probe the wire you suspect of being the ignition wire. The steering column

harness or ignition switch harness is an excellent place to find this wire.

4. Turn the ignition key switch to the run position.If your meter reads (+)12V, go to

the next step. If it doesn’t, probe another wire.

5. Now turn the key to the start position.The meter display should stay steady, not

dropping by more than a few tenths of a volt. If it drops close to or all the way to

zero, go back to step 3. If it stays steady at (+)12V, you have found an ignition

wire.

Finding a (+) Parking IightWire

The (+) parking light wire is often found near the switch.Many cars have the switch built into the turn signal lever, and

in these cars the parking light wire can be found in the steering column.The same wire is often available in the kick

panel or running board.

NOTE: ManyToyotas, as well as many other Asian vehicles, send a (-) signal from the switch to a relay.The

relay then sends 12V(+) to the bulbs.Whenever you have difficulty finding a (+) parking light wire near the

switch, simply test the wires at any switch or control panel which is lit by the instrument panel lighting.

Remember, you need a (+) parking light wire that does not vary with dimmer setting.

How to find a (+) parking light flash wire with your multimeter

1. Set to DCV or DC voltage (12V or 20V is fine).

2. Attach the (-) probe of the meter to chassis ground.

3. Probe the wire you suspect of being the parking light wire. Usually,

the area near the headlight/parking light switch is an excellent area

to start, as is the kick panel.

4. Turn on the parking lights. If your meter shows (+)12V, turn off the

parking lights and make sure it goes back to zero.

5. If it does return to zero, turn the parking lights back on and, using the dash light dimmer control, turn the

brightness of the dash lights up and down. If the meter changes more than a volt when using the

dimmer, look for another wire.If it stays relatively close to (+)12V, you have found your parking light wire.

Finding the Door Pin Switch Circuit

The best places to find the door switch wire are:

At the pin switch:When testing at the pin switch, check the wire to ensure that it “sees” all the doors.Often,

the passenger switch will cover all the doors even if the driver’s switch will not.

At the dome light:This may not be your best choice if the vehicle has delayed domelight supervision, but it

will work in many Hondas, or any vehicle with completely diode-isolated pin switches.

Once you have determined the wire color, the easiest place to connect to the wire is often at the kick panel, at the

windshield pillar, or in the running board. When an easy location is not available, running a wire to the domelight

itself is often the best solution.

How to find a door pin switch trigger wire with your multimeter:

1. Set to DCV or DC voltage (12V or 20V is fine).

2. In most Fords, fasten the (-) probe of the meter to chassis ground. In most other cars, fasten the (+)

probe of your meter to (+)12V constant.

3. Probe the wire you suspect of being the door trigger wire. If the meter reads (+)12V when any door is

opened, you have found a trigger wire.

NOTE: Make sure the wire you use “sees” all the doors! Some newer GM vehicles lack standard-type pin

switches.The dome light in these vehicles is turned on when the door handle is lifted.These usually have a

blue/white or white coming out of the door into the kick panel which will provide a (-) trigger for all doors.

Some GM vehicles (some Cavaliers, Grand Ams, etc.) have a yellow wire coming out of the door which

provides a (+) door trigger.

N430 9/99

How to find the (+)12V starter wire with your multimeter:

1. Set to DCV or DC voltage (12V or 20V is fine).

2. Attach the (-) probe of the meter to chassis ground.

3. Probe the wire you suspect of being the starter wire. The steering

column is an excellent place to find this wire. Remember you do not

need to interrupt the starter at the same point you test it. Hiding your

starter kill relay and connections is always recommended.

4. Turn the ignition key switch to the start position. Make sure the car is not in gear! If your meter reads

(+)12V, go to the next step. If it doesn’t, probe another wire.

5. Cut the wire you suspect of being the starter wire.

6. Attempt to start the car. If the starter engages, reconnect it and go back to step 3.If the starter does not

turn over, you have the right wire.

Step 3:

MakingYour Wire Connections

Before making your connections, plan how your wires will be routed through the vehicle. For instance, the yellow

ignition input, the red 12V constant input, and the orange ground-when-armed output (for the optional starter kill

relay) will often be routed together to the ignition switch harness.In order to keep the wiring neat and make it harder

to find, you may wish to wrap these wires together in electrical tape or conceal them in tubing similar to what the man-

ufacturer used.

There are two acceptable ways of making a wire connection: Solder connections and crimp connectors.When prop-

erly performed, either type of connection is reliable and trouble-free. Regardless of whether you solder your

connections or you use mechanical-type crimp-on connections, ensure that all connections are mechanically sound

and that they are insulated.

Cheap electrical tape, especially when poorly applied, is not a reliable insulator. It often falls off in hot weather.Use

good-quality electrical tape or heat shrink.

Never

twist-and-tape the wires together without soldering.

Never

use “fuse taps,” as they can damage fuse box terminals.

If you use tapping connectors such as 3M T-Taps (not to be confused with Scotch-Locks), avoid using them in

higher-current applications (constant 12V, ground, etc.).Some tapping connectors are inferior in quality and should

be avoided.

WIRE CONNECTION GUIDE

H1/1 ORANGE

(-) ground-when-armed output: This wire supplies a (-) 500 mA ground as long as the system is

armed.This output ceases as soon as the system is disarmed.This wire is used to control the optional 8618 starter

kill relay.The 8617 relay assembly may also be used as shown in the diagram below.

NOTE: If connecting the orange wire to control another module, such as a 529T or 530T window controller,

a 1 amp diode (type 1N4004) will be required. Insert the diode as shown below.

IMPORTANT! Never interrupt any wire other than the starter wire.

H1/2 WHITE

(+) light flash output: This wire should be connected to the (+) parking light wire, as described in the

“Finding the wires you need”section of this manual.This output is protected with a 7.5 amp fuse. Never increase the

value of the light flash fuse. If more current is required, use an external relay.
