installation points to remember
This system has many unique features, some of which require unique testing procedures! Carefully review both
this installation guide and the owners guide before beginning the installation or this system, particularly the
wiring diagrams.
s The control modules PC board is protected with a conformal coating which will combat condensation build-
up, however the system is NOT WATERPROOF. This system and all of its components MUST be installed in a
location where they cannot become wet or be submerged in water.
s We recommend insulating all your soldered or crimped connections with heat shrink or electrical tape. We
also recommend spraying a silicone sealant on all your connections and plugs AFTER they are connected and
plugged in. Spraying beforehand prevents good electrical connections.
s This unit is equipped with Nuisance Prevention Circuitry, which can bypass zones that are repeatedly trig-
gered, causing them to appear not to work. For a detailed description of this feature, refer to the Nuisance
Prevention Circuitry section of the Owner's Guide.
s If possible, consult with the customer to determine the location of the Status LED.
s Never mount components where they can be easily disconnected, or where they might interfere with normal
operation or obstruct service technicians.
After the installation is complete:
s Before mounting the control module, in conditions where moisture or condensation may build up around the
control module's Molex plugs, we recommend applying white lithium grease or an electrical conductive-type
grease around the control modules Molex plug contacts to prevent the terminals from oxidizing.
s Make sure to test all functions. The Using Your System section of the owners guide is very helpful when
testing the system. © 2000 Directed Electronics, Inc. Vista, CA

deciding on component locations
Some things to remember when mounting the siren:
s Mount the siren with screws, taking care that the screws do not hit any wire harnesses or fluid lines.
s Keep it away from heat sources. Radiators, exhaust manifolds, turbochargers, and heat shields are all things
to avoid.
s Mount it where a thief cannot easily disconnect it. Both the siren and its wires should be difficult to find.
This usually involves disguising the wire to look like a factory harness.
s Point the siren down so water does not collect in it.
s When installing this system in watercraft, the siren must be mounted in a compartment that does not take
in water.
Some things to remember when mounting the control module:
s Mount the control module with the screws or with zip ties.
s When locating the control module, keep it away from any heat sources or obvious leaks. Also keep the com-
ponents and harnesses as far from the exhaust system as possible.
s The higher the control module is mounted, the better the transmitter range will be.
s When installing this system in watercraft, the control module must be mounted in a compartment that does
not take in water.
The switch should be well hidden. It should be placed so passengers or stored items (such as near a luggage
carrier or saddlebags) cannot accidentally hit it. The switch fits in a
9
/
32
-inch hole.
IMPORTANT! When the vehicle is delivered, please show the user where the switch is located and
how to disarm the system with it.
Things to remember when positioning the Status LED:
s It should be visible from both sides and the rear of the vehicle, if possible.
s It needs at least
1
/
2
-inch clearance to the rear.
s The LED fits in a
9
/
32
-inch hole.

finding the wires you need
Now that you have decided where each component will be located, youre going to find the wires on the vehicle
that the security system will be connected to.
IMPORTANT! Do not use a 12V test light to find these wires! Use a digital multimeter for all testing.
We recommend two possible sources for 12V constant: the (+) terminal of the battery, or the constant supply to
the ignition switch. Always install a fuse within 12 inches of this connection. If the fuse also will be powering
other circuits, fuse accordingly.
IMPORTANT! Do not remove the fuse holder on the red wire. It ensures that the control module has
its own fuse, of the proper value, regardless of how many accessories are added to the main power
feed.
The ignition wire is powered when the key is in the run and start position. This is because the ignition wire
powers the ignition system (spark plugs, coil) as well as the fuel delivery system (fuel pump, fuel injection com-
puter). Accessory wires lose power when the key is in the start position to make more current available to the starter
motor.
How to find (+)12V ignition with your multimeter:
1. Set to DCV or DC voltage (12V or 20V is fine).
2. Attach the (-) probe of the meter to battery ground.
3. Probe the wire you suspect of being the ignition wire. The ignition switch harness is an excellent place to
find this wire.

4. Turn the ignition key switch to the run position. If your meter reads (+)12V, go to the next step. If it doesnt,
probe another wire.
5. Now turn the key to the start position. The meter display should stay steady, not dropping by more than a
few tenths of a volt. If it drops close to or all the way to zero, go back to Step 3. If it stays steady at (+)12V,
you have found an ignition wire.
The starter wire provides 12V directly to the starter motor or to a relay controlling the starter motor.
How to find the starter wire with your multimeter:
1. Set to DCV or DC voltage (12V or 20V is fine).
2. Attach the (-) probe of the meter to battery ground.
3. Probe the wire you suspect of being the starter wire. The starter relay/starter wire is an excellent place to
find this wire. Remember you do not need to interrupt the starter at the same point you test it. Hiding your
starter kill relay and connections is always recommended.
4. Turn the ignition key switch to the start position. Make sure the vehicle is not in gear! If your meter reads
(+)12V, go to the next step. If it doesnt, probe another wire.
5. Cut the wire you suspect of being the starter wire.
6. Attempt to start the vehicle. If the starter engages, reconnect it and go back to Step 3. If the starter does
not turn over, you have the right wire.
The (+) parking light wire is often found near the parking light switch or side marker light.
NOTE: Many motorcycles and recreational vehicles do not have front running lights. On this type of
vehicle, you may want to use the separate left
