Primary Harness Wiring Instructions

This guide describes in detail the connection of each wire. Also included are possible applications

of each wire. This system was designed with the ultimate in flexibility and security in mind. Many

of the wires have more than one possible function. Please read carefully to ensure a thorough under-

standing of this unit.

H1/1 ORANGE (-) ground-when-armed output

This wire supplies a (-) ground as long as the system is armed. This output ceases as soon as the

system is disarmed. The ORANGE wire is pre-wired to control the 8618 starter kill relay. It can

supply up to 500 mA of current.

NOTE: If using the H1/1 ORANGE wire to activate an add-on accessory such as window

automation, pager or voice module a 1Amp diode must be installed to ensure proper operation.

Insert the diode as shown in the following diagram.

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

H1/2 WHITE (+/-) light flash output

As shipped, the H1/2 WHITE wire should be connected to the (+) parking light wire. If the light flash

polarity jumper is moved to the (-) position (see the Programming Jumper section of this installation

guide), this wire supplies a (-) 200 mA output. This is suitable for driving (-) light control wires in

Toyota, Lexus, BMW, some Mitsubishi, some Mazda, and other models.

NOTE: For parking light systems that draw 10 amps or more, the jumper must be switched to a

(-) light flash output (see the Programming Jumpers section of this guide). P/N 8617 or a standard

automotive SPDT relay must be used on the H1/2 light flash output wire.

IMPORTANT! DO NOT connect this wire to a negative vehicle light flash wire before

changing the programming jumper to the negative polarity position or damage to

vehicle light circuit may occur.

Directed Electronics, Inc.

H1/3 WHITE/BLUE 200 mA (-) channel 3 output

This wire provides a (-) 200 mA output whenever the transmitter button(s) controlling Channel 3

is pressed. This output can be programmed to provide the following types of output (see System

Features Learn Routine section of this guide):

➤➤A vvaalliiddiittyyoutput will send a signal as long as the transmission is received.

➤➤A llaattcchheeddoutput will send a signal continuously when the Channel 3 button(s) is pressed and

released. The signal will continue until channel three is pressed again.

➤➤A llaattcchheedd//rreesseettwwiitthhiiggnniittiioonnoutput works similar to the latched output, but will also reset

(output will stop) when the ignition is turned on and then off.

➤➤A 3300sseeccoonnddttiimmeeddoutput will send a signal for 30 seconds when channel three is pressed. This

output can be shut off during the 30-second period by pressing Channel 3 again.

➤➤This output can also be programmed to provide a sseeccoonndduunnlloocckkppuullsseewhen the unlock button

is pressed a second time after disarming the system. This can be used to unlock the passenger

doors when installing progressive door locks.

H1/4 BLACK/WHITE high current output from on-board domelight supervision relay

Connect this wire directly to the domelight circuit in the vehicle. The on-board relay will drive

circuits up to 20 amperes. The polarity of this output is determined by the connection of the input

wire H2/B in the Relay Harness.

NOTE: If the input wire H2/B is not connected, there will be no output on this wire.

H1/5 GREEN (-) door trigger input

Most vehicles use negative door trigger circuits. Connect the GREEN wire to a wire showing

ground when any door is opened. When connecting to newer model vehicles there is generally a

need to use individual door triggers. See DirectFax document 1076 for wiring instructions. This

wire will report Zone 3.

NOTE: If using a door trigger wire that has a delay, Advanced Menu 2, feature 6, or the 998T

Bitwriter can be used to turn Bypass Notification off.

IMPORTANT! Never use this wire to drive anything but a relay or a low-current input!

This transistorized output can only supply 200 mA, and connecting directly to a

solenoid, motor, or other high-current device will cause the module to fail.

Directed Electronics, Inc.

H1/6 BLUE (-) instant trigger input

This input will respond to a negative input with an instant trigger. It is ideal for hood and trunk pins

and will report on Zone 1. It can also be used with Directed single-stage sensors. The H1/6 BLUE

instant trigger wire can also be used to shunt sensors during operation of auxiliary channels or remote

start. (See Bypassing Sensor Inputs section of this guide.)

H1/7 VIOLET (+) door trigger input

This type of dome circuit is used in many Ford products. Connect the VIOLET wire to a wire that

shows (+)12V when any door is opened. This wire will report Zone 3.

NOTE: If using a door trigger wire that has a delay, Advanced Menu 2, feature 6, or the 998T

Bitwriter can be used to turn Bypass Notification off.

H1/8 BLACK (-) chassis ground connection

Connect this wire to a clean, paint-free sheet metal location (driver kick panel) using a factory bolt

that DOES NOT have any vehicle component grounds attached to it. A screw should only be used

when in conjunction with a two-sided lock washer. Under dash brackets and door sheet metal are

not acceptable ground points. It is recommended that all security components be grounded at the

same location.

Directed Electronics, Inc.

H1/9 YELLOW (+) ignition input

Connect this wire to the (+) 12 volts ignition wire. This wire is pre-wired to the starter kill relay and

must show (+) 12 volts with the key in RUN position and during cranking. Take great care that this

wire cannot be shorted to the chassis at any point.

\\\\\\\

H1/10 BROWN (+) siren output

Connect this to the RED wire of the Revenger® siren. Connect the BLACK wire of the siren to (-)

chassis ground, preferably at the same point you connect the control module’s BLACK ground wire.

H1/11 RED (+)12V constant power input

Before connecting this wire, remove the supplied fuse. Connect to the battery positive terminal or

the constant 12V supply to the ignition switch.

NOTE: Always use a fuse within 12 inches of the point you obtain (+)12V. Do not use the 15 fuse

in the harness for this purpose. This fuse protects the module itself.

H1/12 RED/WHITE high current output from on-board channel 2 (trunk release) relay

Whenever the button(s) controlling channel two is pressed for 1.5 seconds, the on-board relay is

activated and will stay activated as long as the transmission continues. This relay is often used for

trunk release. The relay can drive circuits up to 20 amperes. The polarity of this output is deter-

mined by the connection of the input wire H2/A in the Relay Harness.

NOTE: If the input wire H2/A is not connected, there will be no output from the relay when it is

activated.

Relay Harness Wiring Instructions

H2/A RED/WHITE input to on-board channel 2 (trunk release) relay

This wire is used to supply voltage to the output H1/12. If you want a positive output on H1/12,

connect this wire to (+) 12 volts. Always fuse appropriately. If a negative output is desired, connect

this wire to chassis ground.

H2/B BLACK/WHITE input to domelight supervision relay

This wire is used to supply voltage to the output H1/4. If you want a positive output on H1/4,

connect this wire to (+) 12 volts. Always fuse appropriately. If a negative output is desired, connect

this wire to chassis ground.

H2/C - H2/H power door locks

The system has door lock relays on-board, and can directly interface with most electric power door

lock systems drawing 30 amps or less. It can also drive aftermarket actuators directly.

Door Lock HarnessWire Connection Guide

Identifying the Door Lock System

The easiest way to determine which type of door lock system you are working with is to remove the

master locking switch itself, which is usually on the driver’s door or on the center console. Once you

have determined which type of factory door lock circuit you are working with, and the color codes

of the switch wires to be used, you can usually simplify the installation by locating the same wires

in the vehicle’s kick panel.

NOTE: Always retest the kick panel wires to make sure they work the same as the wires on the

switch.

There are five different types of common door lock circuits found in GM vehicles (some vehicles

use more unusual systems). The five most common systems are:

➤➤TTyyppeeAA- Three-wire (+) pulse controlling factory lock relays. This system is most commonly

found in GM four-door trucks, SUVs and sedans.

➤➤TTyyppeeBB- Three-wire (-) pulse controlling factory lock relays. This system is found in some late

model GM vehicles.

➤➤TTyyppeeCC- Direct-wired reversing-polarity switches. The switches are wired directly to the motors.

This type of door lock system has no factory relays. This system is most commonly found in

two-door GM cars and trucks.

➤➤TTyyppeeDD- These include slave systems without an actuator in the driver’s door, but with factory

actuators in all the other doors. Type D also includes cars without power locks, which are having

actuators added. All Saab before 1994, all Volvo except 850i, all Subaru, most Isuzu, and many

Mazda. Some mid-eighties Nissans, pre-1985 Mercedes-Benz and Audi.

➤➤TTyyppeeEE- The vehicle must have a vacuum actuator in each door. Make sure that locking the doors

from the driver's or passenger side using the key activates all the actuators in the vehicle. This

requires a slight modification to the door lock harness. Mercedes-Benz and Audi 1985 and newer.

➤➤TTyyppeeFF- This system is found in the late-model Nissan Sentra, some Nissan 240SX, and Nissan

300ZX 1992-up. It is also found in older Mitsubishi, and some early Mazda MPV’s.

➤➤TTyyppeeGG- Positive (+) multiplex. A Resistor Interface Module (GM P/N 12496739) may be used

for this type of door locking system. This system is found in the 2001 and newer GM Aztek.

➤➤TTyyppeeHH- Negative (-) multiplex. A Resistor Interface Module (GM P/N 12496739) may be

used for this type of door locking system. This system is found in 1999 and newer Grand Am

and Alero models, as well as 2000 and newer Impala and Monte Carlo models.
