primary harness (H1) wire connection guide

primary harness (H1) wiring diagram

The primary harness supplied with this unit is the standard 12-pin harness used. Two wires in the plug

are not used. The upgrade from this unit to a security system would simply require unplugging and

exchanging control units and connecting the necessary wires to the vehicle. The functions of all the wires

that are used in the primary harness are outlined in the following wiring diagram and the wire con-

nections are described in the wire connection guides.

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. The orange wire is pre-wired to control the starter kill relay.

NNOOTTEE::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.

H1/2 WHITE (-) Parking Light Output

This wire provides a (-) 200mA output to flash the parking lights. This is suitable for driving (-) light

control wires in Toyota, Lexus, BMW, some Mitsubishi, some Mazda, etc. If the vehicle has a positive

parking light circuit, a relay must be used to flash the parking lights.

H1/3 WHITE/BLUE (-) Channel 3 Output

This wire provides a (-) 200 mA output whenever the transmitter code controlling Channel 3 is received.

This output will continue as long as that transmission is received. Use for options such as a start system,

or power window controllers, etc.

H1/4 BLACK/WHITE (-) 200 mA Domelight Supervision Output

Connect this wire to the optional domelight supervision relay as shown in the following diagram:

IIMMPPOORRTTAANNTT!!This output is only intended to drive a relay. It cannot be connected directly

to the domelight circuit, as the output cannot support the current draw of one or more bulbs.

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

transistorized output can only provide 200 mA of current, and connecting directly to a sole-

noid, motor, or other high-current device will cause it to fail.

H1/6 BLUE (-) 200 mA Second Unlock Output

The H1/6 BLUE output is used for progressive unlock. A progressive unlock system unlocks the driver's

door when the unlock (disarm) button is pressed and unlocks the passenger doors if the unlock (disarm)

button is pressed again within 15 seconds after unlocking the driver's door. The BLUE wire outputs a

low current 200 mA (-) pulse on the second press of the unlock button of the transmitter. This negative

unlock output is used to unlock the passenger doors.

H1/8 BLACK (-) Chassis Ground Connection

Connect this wire to a clean, paint-free location (driver kick panel), or use a factory bolt that DOES

NOT have any vehicle component grounds attached to it. A screw should only be used when in con-

junction with a two-sided lock washer. Under dash brackets and door metal are not acceptable ground

points. It is recommended that all security components be grounded at the same location.

H1/9 YELLOW (+) Ignition Input

Connect this wire to the main ignition source. This input must show (+)12V with the key in run position

and during cranking. Make sure that this wire cannot be shorted to the chassis at any point. This wire

will trigger the system if the ignition is turned on before the unit is disarmed (doors unlocked with the

remote). It will also honk the vehicle’s horn and flash the parking lights (if connected).

H1/10 BROWN (-) Horn Honk Output

This wire supplies a (-) 200 mA output that can be used to honk the vehicle horn. It outputs a single

pulse when locking the doors with the remote, and two pulses when unlocking with the remote. This

wire will also provide an output pulse for 30 seconds when the panic mode is activated. If the vehicle

has a (+) horn circuit, an optional relay can be used to interface with the system, as shown below.

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

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

constant 12V supply to the ignition switch.

NNOOTTEE::Always use a fuse within 12 inches of the point you obtain (+)12V. Do not use the fuse in the har-

ness for this purpose. This fuse protects the module itself.

H1/12 RED/WHITE channel 2, 200mA (-) output

When the system receives the transmitter code controlling Channel 2 for longer than 1.5 seconds, the

red/white wire will supply an output as long as the transmission continues. This is often used to oper-

ate a trunk/hatch release or other relay-driven functions.

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

transistorized output can only supply 200 mA of current. Connecting directly to a solenoid,

motor, or other high-current device will cause it to fail.

peripheral plug-in harnesses

LED, 2-pin WHITE plug

The LED operates at (+) 2 volt DC and plugs into the two-pin WHITE port. Make sure the LED wires are

not shorted to ground as the LED will be damaged. Multiple LED’s can be used, but they must be wired

in series. The LED fits into a 9/32-inch mounting hole. Be sure to check for clearance prior to drilling

the mounting hole.

NNOOTTEE::Never use a BLUE LED in combination with a RED LED.

override switch, 2-pin BLUE plug

The override switch should be accessible from the driver’s seat. It plugs into the BLUE port on the side

of the unit. Consider how the button will be used before choosing a mounting location. Check for rear

clearance before drilling a 9/32-inch hole and mounting the button.

Pro Security Programmer interface, 3-pin port

The BLACK three-pin port is provided for programming of the unit. When using the Pro

Security Programmer, it is possible to configure any and all of the programmable functions. For

more information please refer to the guide packaged with the programmer.

module programming

The System Features Learn Routine dictates how the unit operates. It is possible to access and change

any of the feature settings using the Override switch. However, this process can be greatly simplified

by using the Pro Security Programmer. Any of the settings can be changed and then assigned to a par-

ticular transmitter, up to four, a feature called individual recognition. Each time that particular trans-

mitter is used to disarm the system, the assigned feature settings will be recalled. Individual recognition

is only possible when programming the unit via the Pro Security Programmer.

If the system was previously programmed using the Pro Security Programmer, the learn routine may be

locked. If the horn generates one long honk when attempting to program the unit, the learn routine is

locked and must be unlocked using the Pro Security Programmer before proceeding.

To enter the learn routine:

1. Key. Turn the ignition on and then back off.

2. Choose. Within 10 seconds, press and release the Override switch the number of

times corresponding to the feature number you want to program. (See Feature

Menus.) Once the Override switch has been pressed and released the desired num-

ber of times, press it once more and hold it. After a second, the LED will flash and the

horn will honk to indicate which feature you have accessed.

3. Transmit. The transmitter is used to select the desired setting. As shipped, the unit

is configured to the LED ON settings. These are the default settings. Pressing the lock

button will set it to the LED ON setting. The LED will light solid (stop flashing) to indi-

cate the setting. The horn will honk once (if connected). Pressing the unlock button will

change the setting to the LED OFF setting. The LED will go out indicating the change

and the horn will honk twice (if connected).

4. Release. The Override switch can now be released.

For example, to program the arming mode from active to passive, within 10 seconds of turning the

ignition off, and press and release the Override switch once. Then press it again and hold it. The LED

will flash in groups of one and the horn will honk once (if connected). While holding the Override

switch, press the unlock button. The LED will stop flashing and go out. The horn will honk twice if con-

nected. Passive arming is now programmed. If that was not the desired setting, without releasing the

Override switch, press the lock button. The LED will light solid and the horn will honk once if connect-

ed. Active arming is now programmed. Release the Override switch after the selection has been made.

You can advance from feature to feature by pressing and releasing the Override switch the number of

times necessary to get from the feature you just programmed to the feature you wish to access. For

example, if you just programmed Feature 2 and you next want to program Feature 3 to off, release the

Override switch. Press and release it once to advance from Feature 2 to Feature 3. Then press it once

more and hold it. The LED will flash in groups of three and the horn will honk three times (if connect-

ed) to confirm that you have accessed Feature 3.

The learn routine will be exited if:

➤The ignition is turned on.

➤The Override switch is pressed too many times.

➤More than 15 seconds elapses between programming steps.

One long horn honk (if connected) indicates that the learn routine has been exited.

feature descriptions

1 ACTIVE/PASSIVE ARMING: When active arming is selected, the starter kill will arm (if connected)

only when the transmitter is used. When set to passive arming, the starter kill will arm (if connected)

30 seconds after the ignition key is turned off.

2 CHIRPS ON/OFF: This feature controls the chirps that confirm arming and disarming of the system.

A siren or horn must be connected to the H1/10 BROWN wire.

3 IGNITION CONTROLLED DOOR LOCK ON/OFF: When turned on, the doors will lock three seconds

after the ignition is turned on.

4 IGNITION CONTROLLED DOOR UNLOCK ON/OFF: When turned on, the doors will unlock when the

ignition is turned off.

5 ACTIVE/PASSIVE LOCKING: If passive arming is selected in Feature 1, then the system can be pro-

grammed to either lock the doors when passive arming occurs, or only lock the doors when the system

is armed with a transmitter. Active locking means the doors will not lock when the system passively

arms. Passive locking means that the doors will lock whenever the system passively arms the starter kill

(if connected).

6 IGNITION CONTROLLED DOMELIGHT: If turned on, the system will turn on the domelight for 30 sec-

onds when the ignition is turned off. The domelight supervision output (H1/4) wire must be connected

to an optional relay as described in the Primary Harness Wire Connection Guide.

7 DOOR LOCK PULSE DURATION: Some European vehicles, such as Mercedes-Benz and Audi, require

longer lock and unlock pulses to operate the vacuum pump. Programming the system to provide 3.5

second pulses will accommodate the door lock interface in these vehicles. The default setting is 0.8 sec-

ond door lock pulses.
