INSTALLATION CAUTIONS

 

The white plug on the 3-way cable adapter 

is 

ONLY

 for use with digital platforms such as 

DBALL2, DBALL2PRo, 4X10 and 5X10. 

For some older analog systems with combined 

4-pin ESP/D2D ports, you 

CANNOT

 use an inter-

face module in D2D mode when using a Smart-

Start module. You must use W2W on the bypass 

module.

DO NOT

 connect the black 3-pin ESP connector 

to white Door Lock port on Directed systems.

There should 

NEVER

 be more than one data plug 

connected from the 3-way cable adapter.

Installation Procedure

This product is compatible with most Directed dig-

ital systems, analog systems with ESP2/D2D data 

ports, and many Autostart and AstroStart systems 

with pager ports and D2D ports.

Please read the following before proceeding. 

1. 

Customer Information required:

•  Record the customer information request-

ed in step 4a of this procedure. The mod-

ule Air ID # is provided on a sticker which 

should be affixed to the space provided in 

the user’s guide. 

This information is required for final verifi-

cation/activation of the VSM300/350 or 

DSM300/350. 

2. 

Installation Points:

  

•  Install and test the security/remote start 

or digital system first using the associated 

guides and wiring diagram. When add-

ing SmartStart to an existing system, veri-

fy it is fully functional before installing the 

SmartStart module. 

•  Mount the SmartStart module as high as 

possible in the vehicle with the engraved 

side facing upward (for all devices). 

Mount with minimal obstructions that can 

affect communications and within reach 

of the main Directed system using the pro-

vided cables (do not extend).

The module's signal strength (RSSI) can be viewed in the 

activation portal after a successful transmission test.
-50 to -90   dB   

-91 to -100 dB 

> -100 dB

= good signal strength

= borderline/inconsistent signal strength

= weak, insufficient signal strength
