2-2 TACH WIRE SENSE/VOLTAGE SENSE: If the tachometer signal wire is used, this feature must be left in the

default (tach wire connected) setting. If programmed to the voltage sense setting, the unit will crank the starter

for a preset time that can be programmed in Feature 5. Once the starter has been engaged, the system will check

the voltage level to verify the engine is running. The threshold for the voltage level test can be programmed in

Feature 2-6. When using voltage sense mode, connection of the H3/5 WHITE tachometer input is not necessary.

2-3 RUN TIME 12/24/60 MINUTES: This feature controls how long the engine will run before it “times

out” and shuts down. Programmed to the default setting the engine will run for 12 minutes. If the 24-

minute run time is desired, change this feature to the on-board LED off setting.

2-4 PARKING LIGHTS FLASHING/CONSTANT: In the default setting, the unit will flash the vehicle’s parking

lights while remote started. The constant setting will turn the parking lights on solidly for the entire run dura-

tion.

2-5 CRANK TIME 0.6/0.8/1.0/1.2/1.4/1.6/1.8/2.0/4.0: If Feature 2-2 is programmed to the voltage sense

setting, the crank time must be set to the appropriate duration. The default setting is 0.6 second. If a different

crank time is desired, select Feature 2-5 and (while pressing the Valet®/Program switch) advance to the next

time by pressing the Channel 2 button. The unit will flash the LED to indicate which time is selected. Once the

4.0 second setting is reached the next press of Channel 2 will reset the system to the shortest setting.

2-6 VOLTAGE CHECK LEVEL HIGH/LOW: This feature only functions when Feature 2-2 is programmed to voltage

sense. Some vehicles have many accessories, which are turned on when remote started. In these vehicles, the

variation of voltage between the engine off and the vehicle running is very slight and the remote start unit may

“think” the vehicle has not started. This can cause the remote start to shut down after the vehicle has been

started. If this is the case, program this feature to the LOW position.

2-7 AUXILIARY OUTPUT: Factory alarm disarm/ignition three output: In the default setting this wire sends a

negative pulse that may be used to disarm the vehicles factory security system. If programmed for an ignition

three output, the wire can be used to energize a relay to power up extra ignition wires in the vehicle.

2-8 BLUE WIRE STATUS OUTPUT/FACTORY RE-ARM OUTPUT: The blue (H3/1) wire will supply a 200mA (-) output

for the entire remote start run time. If programmed for factory re-arm output, this wire will supply a momentary

200mA (-) pulse whenever the remote start times out or is shut down with the transmitter. This can be used to

re-arm many factory security systems.

2-9 AUTOMATIC ANTI-GRIND ON/OFF: With the anti-grind on (default) the ground-when-armed output will be

active during remote start operation. If accessories such as a voice module or window module are added to the

unit, it may be necessary to program this feature off.
