status LED
Things to remember when installing the status LED:
● It should be visible from both sides and the rear of the vehicle, if possible.
● It needs at least 1/2-inch clearance to the rear.
● It is recommended to use a small removable panel, such as a switch blank or a dash bezel.
Remove it before drilling your 9/32-inch hole.
● Use quick-disconnects near the LED wires if the panel is removable. This lets mechanics or other
installers remove the panel without having to cut the wires.
finding the wires you need
Now that you have determined where each component will be located, your next step is to find the
wires in the vehicle that the security system will be connected to.

Do not use a 12V test light to locate these wires! All testing described in this manual assumes the
use of a digital multimeter.
obtaining constant 12V
We recommend two possible sources for 12V constant: The (+) terminal of the battery, or the con-
stant 12V supply to the ignition switch. Always install a fuse within 12 inches of this connection. If
the fuse will also be powering other circuits, such as door locks, a power window module, or a head-
light control system, fuse accordingly. Some vehicles have a low current (10 Vdc) source at the col-
umn. For these vehicles it is recommended to connect to the (+) terminal of the battery.

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.
