Step 2: Determine A Mounting Location

Find a discreet and secure mounting location for the module. Make

sure the module is free from moisture, excessive heat, direct sunlight, or

moving vehicle parts.

- The large white sticker must be facing towards the sky

- There cannot be any metal between the module and the sky

- Mount as high in the dash as possible

- Mount at least 12 inches away from the radio & speakers. The cellular

portion of this device could cause radio interference.

-DO NOT SECURE THE DEVICE UNTIL TESTING IS COMPLETE

Step 3a: Connect The Device - Serial / Data Port Installation

BLACK 4-Pin Serial Data Connector (required):

This allows for a quick plug-in installation when used with a compatible

Omega security or remote start system. Plug this into the matching port

on the host system and program the data port for iDatalink protocol.

Power and Ground are provided by the data port.

YELLOW +12v Ignition input wire (optional):

This is an ignition input wire to the device. It must be connected to an

ignition +12V source. This can be found in the ignition switch harness

or at a fuseblock. Be certain that this wire has +12V with the ignition

key is in the ON position.

NOTE: DO NOT CONNECT IF USING DATA CONNECTOR WITH AN

OMEGA ALARM OR REMOTE START SYSTEM.

BLUE (-) output #1 wire (optional):

This is a negative pulse 150mA output (add a relay if necessary)

configurable for 0.8 second, 3 second, or 10 second pulse. It can be

assigned to most command buttons in the Linkr app.

NOTE: IF YOU ARE NOT CONNECTING TO A DATA PORT AND

HARDWIRING ALL CONNECTIONS, SKIP TO STEP 3B

Plug-N-Play

LINKR-M1 install guide EN A6.indd 3 5/24/2016 4:00:51 PM

LINKR-M1_EN-4/22/16

GREEN (-) output #2 wire (optional):

This is a negative pulse 150mA output (add a relay if necessary)

configurable for 0.8 second, 3 second or 10 second pulse. It can be

assigned to most command buttons in the Linkr app.

ORANGE (-) output #3 wire (optional):

This is a negative pulse 150mA output (add a relay if necessary). It’s

primary function is for ENGINE DISABLE but can be assigned to other

command buttons in the Linkr app if desired.

BROWN/WHITE (-) pulsed alarm trigger input wire (optional):

This input will send a VEHICLE ALARM notification to the user’s phone

when it detects 7 negative pulses within 10 seconds. Connect this to

the alarm’s horn honk output or flashing light output.

NOTE: Omega security systems will send alarm trigger status on the data port, in

which case, this wire is not connected.

BROWN (+) steady alarm trigger input wire (optional):

This input will send a VEHICLE ALARM notification to the user’s phone

when it detects positive voltage (>5vDC) for 7 seconds continuously.

Connect this to the alarm’s positive siren output.

NOTE: Omega security systems will send alarm trigger status on the data port, in

which case, this wire is not connected.

GRAY/BLACK (-) panic button/valet input wire (optional):

This input will send a PANIC notification to the user’s phone when it

detects a negative input for 3 seconds. It can also be used to turn off

the ENGINE DISABLE feature if the device cannot be reached from the

smartphone app. Connect this to the included push-button valet switch.

Connect the other wire of the valet switch to chassis ground.

Step 3a: Connect The Device - Data Port (cont’d)

LINKR-M1_EN-04/22/16

Step 3b: Connect The Device - Hard Wire Installation

BLACK ground wire (required):

This provides chassis ground to the device. It should be connected

directly to the metal structure of the vehicle. Strip the end of the wire

and crimp on the supplied ring terminal. Route this wire to a solid

grounding point, like an existing bolt in the vehicle and securely ground

the wire.

RED +12v constant power wire (required):

This is the power supply wire to the device. It must be connected to a

FUSED constant +12V source. This can be found in the ignition switch

harness, a fuseblock, or at the vehicle’s battery. Be certain that this wire

has +12V under all circumstances and when the ignition key is in the

ON and OFF positions.

YELLOW +12v ignition input wire (required):

This is an ignition input wire to the device. It must be connected to an

ignition +12V source. This can be found in the ignition switch harness

or at a fuseblock. Be certain that this wire has +12V with the ignition

key is in the ON position.

BLUE (-) output #1 wire (optional):

This is a negative pulse 150mA output (add a relay if necessary)

configurable for 0.8 second, 3 second, or 10 second pulse. It can be

assigned to most command buttons in the Linkr app.

GREEN (-) output #2 wire (optional):

This is a negative pulse 150mA output (add a relay if necessary)

configurable for 0.8 second, 3 second, or 10 second pulse. It can be

assigned to most command buttons in the Linkr app.

NOTE: YOU MUST CUT OFF THE BLACK 4-PIN CONNECTOR

TO HARDWIRE POWER & GROUND CONNECTIONS

Step 4: Check The Status Indicator Lights

Using Linkr To Monitor A Home / Building Alarm

Linkr can be installed for direct monitoring of any building alarm. It can

alert the user of any alarm trigger condition and can control quick arm &

disarm functions if the alarm panel supports it.

BLACK ground wire (required):

Connect to the alarm panel (-)12v DC source.

RED +12v constant power wire (required):

Connect to the alarm panel (+)12v DC source.

BLUE, GREEN, & ORANGE (-) output wires (optional):

Typically, you will need to wire relays to connect/disconnect the key input terminals

(aka ‘key zone’) on the panel. In most cases, resistors are required. See the panel

instructions for more info.

BROWN (+) & BROWN/WHITE (-) alarm trigger input wires:

If the siren/bell output is constant when triggered, use the BROWN wire. If the output

is pulsed, use the BROWN/WHITE wire. Be sure the polarity matches, convert with a

relay as needed.

After powering the device, turn on the vehicle ignition and allow a few

minutes to get the proper indicators. Make sure the vehicle is out in the

open so the module has a clear view to the sky.

activation card and give it to the vehicle owner. You can now

delete the device from your app.

ABOUT INSTALLER TEST MODE:

The Linkr device will remain in test mode until the ‘primary alert receiver’

is added. After it is set, only that phone/user can update it. If it is set

incorrectly and needs to be updated manually, perform the following steps:

1) Turn the Vehicle ignition ON/OFF 5 times within 10 seconds.

You will have 5 minutes to complete step 2.

2) Send the new settings from the app to the device.

You will receive a confirmaiton message if it is successful.
