Step 6 - Coaxial Antenna Wire
Route the black Antenna Wire to the front of the grille of the car. The
thick triangular section of the wire is the actual antenna and must be
exposed and not positioned behind metal. This will allow for maximum
transmitter range. Secure the antenna to the front grille of the vehicle
using 2 cable ties. The more exposed the antenna, the better the
range. No antenna cable should remain coiled up - this will greatly
decrease range.
Step 7 - Quick Operational Test
At this point your alarm should be working. Before going on, test it
by pressing the middle (red) button for 1 second to get the CarFinder
®
feature. If this feature is working, your alarm should be totally
functional. If you get no response from this test, go on to step 8. If
the quick operational test works, go straight to step 9.
Step 8 - Teaching Transmitters/Sensors
Step 5 - Violet Starter Kill Wire
The VIOLET wire is a transistor ground output that is active whenever
the system has been armed by the transmitter. This output is used
to engage a starter kill relay (optional and
not
included with this alarm)
to prevent the vehicle from starting whenever the alarm system is
armed. Follow the wiring diagram and instructions below if desired:
Connect the VIOLET wire to pin # 86 of a standard "Bosch" style
SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) 30 Amp relay. Connect pin # 85
to a wire that pr12 volts whenever the ignition key is in the
"Run" position. You may find this wire either behind the key area or
under the hood at the ignition coil/module. Locate the vehicle's starter
wire coming off of the ignition key area or under the hood before it gets
to the starter solenoid. This will be a wire that pr12 volts only
while the key is in the "Start" position. Cut this wire in half. Connect
one side of the cut starter wire to pin # 30 of the relay. Connect the
other side of the cut starter wire to pin # 87a (the middle pin) of the
relay. Tie up the relay and wrap any exposed wires with electrical tape
to protect them from moisture and the elements. Make sure that all
wires are out of the way of moving or hot parts.
First Defense

comes with the transmitter pre-coded to the receiver.
If your alarm does not respond to the transmitter or you are adding
the optional Wireless Alarm Sensor, then do the following:
1) Pull out the 15 amp fuse for a few seconds, then replace it. The
lights will flash 4 times and the siren will chirp once confirming the unit is
in code learning mode.
2) Within 5 seconds of the first step, press button #1 (green) on your
transmitter until the lights flash once (usually hold the button for about
5 seconds), signifying that it has learned the code. If you have
additional transmitters, teach the receiver these by pressing the
second transmitter's button #1 (green) within 5 seconds of the
receiver learning the first transmitter code. (If you are adding a
Wireless Sensor, separate the magnet from the switch until the
receiver chirps once indicating that it has learned the sensor's code.)
3) After programming the last transmitter/sensor, wait 5 seconds for
the 4 exit light flashes. Your alarm is now ready to use! Follow these
steps again to relearn new transmitters, if necessary, in the future.
