INSTALLATION GUIDE
FOR AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION AND DIESEL ENGINE VEHICLES

THIS UNIT MUST BE INSTALLED BY AN AUTHORIZED MICRO ALARM SYSTEMS DEALER MICRO ALARM SYSTEMS, INC. IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ACCURACY OF APPLICATION OR INSTALLATION. PLEASE VERIFY ALL WIRING FUNCTIONS AND CONNECTIONS BEFORE OPERATION OF VEHICLE. PLEASE CHECK ALL MANUFACTURERS CAUTIONS CONCERNING AIR BAGS, ABS SYSTEMS, ETC. THIS UNIT MUST BE TESTED COMPLETELY BEFORE REASSEMBLING THE VEHICLE! PLEASE FOLLOW THESE TEST INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY:
TEST 1. BRAKE SHUTDOWN: Press ENGINE button to activate remote start. While engine is running, press the brake pedal. This should cause the engine to ShuT off immediately. If the engine fails to shut off, check all brake circuit connections. TEST 2. HOOD PIN SHUTDOWN: open the hood while the vehicle is in PARK. Press ENGINE button. The engine should NoT start with the hood open. If the engine starts, check all hood pin circuit connections. TEST 3. NEUTRAL SAFETY SHUTDOWN: NOTE: Be sure that there are SEVERAL fEET of SPACE in front and behind the vehicle and SET EMERGENCY BRAKE before performing this test! Read all instructions carefully BEfoRE attempting! A: B: C: D: E: Close hood and doors and be certain no other shutdown circuits are activated. WIThouT STARTING VEhICLE, turn ignition to the oN position. Be sure that the EMERGENCY BRAKE is set, and put the vehicle in DRIVE. Be prepared to step on the brake should the engine start, but Do NoT PRESS BRAKE PEDAL. Press ENGINE button. The engine should NoT start. If the vehicle starts, shut the engine off at once by stepping on the brake. Should the vehicle start under these conditions, the vehicle may use a neutral safety switch. Should this occur, contact the vehicle manufacturer for options.

SHOULD VEHICLE FAIL ANY OF THESE TESTS, DO NOT OPERATE REMOTE START UNIT!

The headlight circuit is a very high amperage circuit and will draw more than the 7.5 amp maximum load the units on-board relay can provide. If flashing headlights are desired, an external relay is required. NOTE: halogen lights are not designed for flashing applications and may therefore burn out quicker.

AFTERMARKET ACTUATOR HOOK-UP
This Alarm Is Equiped With On Board Door Locking Relays. The Following Is A Guide For Using These On Board Relays With Most Popular Door Locking Systems.

TYPE #1: 3-WIRE NEGATIVE TRIGGER TYPE

This Is The Simplest Of All Door Locking Systems. If You Were To Look At The Door Lock/Unlock Switch In The Drivers Door It Would Have 3 Wires Coming Out Of It. (A Lock Wire, An Unlock Wire, & A Constant (-)Negative Ground Wire) The Lock & Unlock Wires Will Show A (-)Negative Ground Pulse Only While Actually Locking And Unlocking The Doors, Otherwise They Will Float. The LOCK Command Will Be A (-)Negative Pulse. The UNLOCK Command Will Be A (-)Negative Pulse.

TYPE #2: 3-WIRE POSITIVE TRIGGER TYPE

This Type Door Of Locking System Is Common On Many GMs And Other Makes. If You Were To Look At The Door Lock/Unlock Switch In The Drivers Door It Would Have 3 Wires Coming Out Of It. (A Lock Wire, An Unlock Wire, & A Constant +12 Volt Positive Wire) The Lock & Unlock Wires Will Show A (+)12 Volt Positive Pulse Only While The Locking And Unlocking The Doors, Otherwise They Will Float.

11
startc2003-tw_inst.indd

TYPE #3: 5-WIRE REVERSING POLARITY TYPE (Rest At Ground)

Reversing Polarity Is often Confused With The 3-Wire Positive Trigger Type System. This happens Because Both Systems Show (+)Positive Lock & unlock Pulses, The Difference Is That In A Reversing Polarity System The LoCK & uNLoCK Wires REST AT (-)GRouND. Carefully observe That You Do NoT Accidentally Reverse Any of The Connections And Most Importantly uSE fuSES!!!!! In This Type of Locking System There Are No factory Relays. The Actual Lock/unlock Switch Directly operates The Motors. The Switches Do This By Reversing The Polarity of The Motor Wires. **This System Rests At (-)Negative Ground, So If (+)12 Volts Positive Is Pulsed Into The Lock or unlock Wire There Will Be A Short-Circuit. This Is Why The Internal Relays Are Necessary To Mimic The Actions of The Actual Lock/unlock Switch. Both The Lock And The unlock Wires Will Be Cut (oNE WIRE AT A TIME) And Run Through The Internal Relays Which Will Momentarily Interrupt The Circuit Allowing A (+)Positive Pulse To Safely operate The System. ** As Mentioned Before, The Connections Are of SuPREME IMPoRTANCE. If The Connections Are Reversed By Accident, SEVERE DAMAGE Can occur To Both The Vehicle And The unit. If You were To Look at The Lock/unlock Switch Inside The Drivers Door There would Be 5 Wires Coming out of The Switch. There Will Be A Constant (+)12 Volt positive Wire, 2 Wires Showing Constant (-)Negative Ground, And 2 Wires Which REST AT (-)NEGATIVE GRouND But Invert Polarity (Show A Positive Pulse) When The Lock/unlock Switch Is Pressed. foR EXAMPLE: When The LoCK Button Is Being pressed one Wire Will Show (+)12 Volts Positive (This Is The Lock Wire) While The Second Wire Is STILL RESTING AT (-)NEGATIVE GRouND. When The uNLoCK Button Is Being Pressed The Polarity of The 2 Wires Will Reverse. The Wire That Was Still Resting At (-)Negative Ground Will Now Show (+)12 Volts Positive (This Is The uNLoCK Wire) And The other Wire Will Now Be RESTING AT (-)NEGATIVE GRouND. ** IT IS NoT NECESSARY To ACTuALLY CATCh ThE WIRES INSIDE ThE DooR. ThEY CAN uSuALLY BE fouND IN ThE KICK PANELS. It Is of upmost Importance To figure out Which of The 2 Reversing Wires Is The Lock Wire And Which Is The unlock Wire. a) The Lock wire will Be The One That Shows (+)12 Volt Positive while The Vehicles LOCK Button Is Being Pressed. b) The Unlock wire will Be The One That Shows (+)12 Volt Positive while The Vehicles uNLoCK Button Is Being Pressed. once You have Determined This We Can Start......... 1) CuT The LoCK Wire. At This Time You Will have 2 halves of The Wire. 2) Press BoTh The Lock And unlock Button. If You have Cut The Correct Wire The Door Locking System Should NoT oPERATE At All (The Doors Should NoT Lock or unlock). NoTE: If The System Still operates In Either Direction (Lock or unlock) You have Either Cut The WRoNG Wire or This Is Not A Reversing Polarity System.

DOOR LOCkINg SECTION:

3) Next We Need To figure out Which Side of The Cut Wire Is Coming from The Door Lock SWITCh And Which Side Is Going To The Actual MoToRS (ThIS IS VERY VERY IMPoRTANT). once You have Confirmed That This Is Truly A Reversing Polarity System And That You have Cut The Correct LoCK Wire PRESS & hoLD ThE LoCK Button Down (MAKE SuRE ThAT You ARE PRESSING DoWN ThE LoCK BuTToN NoT ThE uNLoCK). The SWITCh Side Will Be The one That Shows (+)12 Volt Positive When Pressing The LoCK Button (This Will oNLY Be True If You have Cut The LoCK Wire). NoW Connect The SWITCh Side of The Cut LoCK Wire To The White/Black Wire on The 6-Pin Door Lock harness. The other Side of The CuT LoCK WIRE Will Be The MoToR Side. NoW Connect The MoToR Side of The Cut LoCK Wire To The Green/Black Wire on The 6-Pin Door Lock harness. 4) Next CuT The uNLoCK Wire. This Will Be The Wire That Shows (+)12 Volt Positive While Pressing The uNLoCK Button. NoTE: After CuTTING The uNLoCK Wire The Entire Locking System Should NoT operate In Either Direction. 5) Repeat The Procedure of finding Which Side Is The SWITCh Side And Which Side Is The MoToR Side. The SWITCh Side Will Be The one That Shows (+)12 Volt Positive When Pressing The uNLoCK Button (This Will oNLY Be True If You have Cut The uNLoCK Wire). NoW Connect The SWITCh Side of The Cut uNLoCK Wire To The Brown/Black Wire on The 6Pin Door Lock harness. The other Side of The CuT uNLoCK WIRE Will Be The MoToR Side. NoW Connect The MoToR Side of The Cut uNLoCK Wire To The Blue/Black Wire on The 6-Pin Door Lock harness. 6) Connect the purple/black and red/black wires to a fused (+) 12V source capable of supporting up to 15AMPS.
