Common Procedures CM6000
Jumper Settings
Caution: Jumper settings affect the polarity and use of certain outputs. If these jumpers are used incorrectly,
damage to the vehicle and /or control module may occur.
Jumper 1 (Door Trigger Polarity)
Determines the polarity of the door trigger input wire (red/white). In the default position the door trigger
registers negative (-) triggers. To change to a positive (+) trigger, move the jumper.
Jumper 2 (Glow Plug or Key Sense Polarity)
Determines the polarity of the glow plug or key sense input wire (brown/white). In the default position it
monitors a positive (+) glow plug input. To change to a negative (-) input move the jumper. To change from
the glow plug to the key sense setting, you must change Option 4-09.
Siren
To adjust duration time when the alarm has been triggered, change Option 3-07 – the system default is 30
seconds.
Thermister (Temperature Sensor)
Every 2 Way LCD Firstech RF kit includes an optional thermister, which must be plugged into the 2 pin
port of the control module for use. This plug is blue on the CM6000. The use of the thermister allows the
2 Way remote to display the vehicle’s interior temperature on the remote LCD (liquid crystal display) as
well as permitting the vehicle to start with timed Hot or Cold starting; see options 2-05, 2-07 and 2-08.
IMPORTANT: Thermister plugs are blue 2 pin connectors on the CM6 series but thermisters with white
plugs will work.
Hood Pin
The hood pin switch triggers the alarm in the event the hood is opened while the alarm is armed. The hood
pin doubles as an important safety feature that prevents the remote start from engaging while the hood is
open.
Backup Battery
The backup battery input on the control module/brain is for optional battery backup unit (FT-BATT BACKUP). The red
positive lead (+) acts both as an input and charging output for a 12 Volt battery backup. A backup battery maintains
basic alarm functionality when main vehicle power is lost. See the wiring schematic section for complete details.
