What Is Included

■103T Control Module

■103T Keypad (see diagram below) with 4-Pin Keypad Harness

■8618 Failsafe Starter Kill Relay

■5-Pin Main Harness

■2-Pin LED Interface Harness

■3-Pin Data Interface Harness

Important Information

The 103T Digital Failsafe Starter Kill is designed to be used as

either a stand-alone passive/active starter kill or as an interface to

DEI’s ESP systems that use 3-pin data ports. The 103T features an

illuminated dash-mounted keypad, code-protected emergency

override, and Valet® code protection.

When used as a stand-alone starter kill, the 103T prevents the

starter from cranking whenever the system is armed. You can con-

trol the 103T’s basic functions from the dash-mounted keypad.

Simply enter coded key sequences to control the starter kill func-

tions.

The 103T can also be used as a serial controller for any of DEI’s ESP

systems. The ESP system LED can be plugged into the 103T’s key-

pad port, so that the LED on the keypad functions as the main sys-

tem LED. When connected to an ESP system, the 103T can be used

to control such features as Panic, Valet Mode and emergency over-

ride.

Product Description

digits. Any digit may be repeated. The default PIN code from the

factory is 1234.

a new PIN code is set, the unit will default to the existing PIN code.

Operation as a

Stand-Alone Starter Kill

When armed, the 103T will interrupt the starter wire when any

attempt is made to start the vehicle. The 103T can be passively or

actively armed. Passive arming occurs automatically 15 seconds

after the ignition is turned off.

To actively arm the unit:

2. Press (labeled ARM on the keypad). The system will

arm immediately.

The LED will flash steadily to indicate that the system is armed.

Arming

The system may be disarmed whether the ignition is on or off.

To disarm the system:

1. Enter your personalized PIN code followed by . The key-

pad is now disarmed.

■If the ignition is off, the unit will disarm, but the LED will

flash rapidly to indicate that the system will rearm in 15 seconds.

■If the ignition is on, the system will disarm and the LED will

turn off.

■If an error is made while entering the PIN code, simply press

to start over. If the PIN code is entered incorrectly

three times, the trigger sequence will begin.

■If the ignition is turned on before entering the PIN code, the

unit will honk the horn once (if connected). If the correct PIN

code is not entered within 5 seconds, the trigger sequence

will begin.

When disarming, if the correct PIN code is not entered in three

attempts or within 5 seconds after the ignition is turned on, the

unit will honk the horn (if connected) for 30 seconds. If the igni-

tion remains on, the unit will trigger again, up to four times. If the

unit has triggered four times, it will reset and trigger again if the

ignition is cycled. The unit will also trigger each time three errors

in PIN entry occur.

NOTE: When using the 103T as a stand-alone starter kill, the optional horn

honk feature must be installed in order for the trigger sequence to work.

Trigger Sequence (optional)

Disarming

If you are threatened in your vehicle, you can enter Panic Mode to

attract attention. Panic Mode will trigger the system and honk the

system (armed or disarmed) are not affected by the Panic Mode

trigger sequence.

To enter Panic Mode:

1. Press .

2. Press (labeled PANIC on the keypad).

The same Panic Mode keypad sequence may be used to stop Panic

Mode at any time.

NOTE: When using the 103T as a stand-alone starter kill, the optional

horn honk feature must be installed in order for Panic Mode to work.

Valet®Mode prevents the system from arming and triggering. This

feature is useful when washing or servicing your vehicle.

To activate Valet Mode:

1. Make sure that the system is disarmed.

2. Press .

3. Press (labeled VALET on the keypad). The system has

now entered Valet Mode.

The same Valet Mode keypad sequence is used to deactivate Valet Mode.

exit Valet Mode, the system will ignore any new attempts to exit Valet

Mode for 5 seconds.
