Tachless Mode. Determines the engine status using an advanced software routine, without requiring

connection to the vehicle’s tachometer.  Tachless operation may not be compatible with some vehicles

or in severe temperatures, in which case the tach wire must be connected.  

13. Remote Start Program.  This dual program branch sets the engine mode for Gas or Diesel, and

learns the vehicle’s RPM threshold.  Learning the RPM threshold automatically selects the RPM

monitor mode. For installation into a diesel equipped vehicle, first set the engine type to diesel

before learning RPM.
Tach Monitor Mode. Monitors the vehicle’s tach wire (or a fuel injection wire) in real-time to determine

engine status and adjust starter crank time automatically.  If programmed for Tach Monitor, the vehicle’s

tach signal will have to be learned before initial operation (see below).
RPM Learn. Start the engine, enter Branch 13, the LED light should be flashing to confirm tach signal.

Press Button 1 to learn the vehicle’s tach signal.  The siren will chirp and the LED will stop flashing  to

confirm learning of the tach signal and. The siren will chirp four times and the LED will flash four times

if the tach signal was not learned, engine sense mode will not be changed.
Gas Engine. Sets the engine type for Gasoline.  
Diesel Engine. Sets the engine type for Diesel and monitors the glow plug input to make sure the glow

plugs are warm before cranking the starter.  If the glow plug wire is not connected, the built-in timer

waits 15 seconds before automatically cranking the starter.

14. Ignition 2 Relay Program.  Selects one of three operating modes for the Ignition 2 relay output:

Ignition 2, Accessory 2, or Starter 2.
