FO4 - 104° F/40° C (default) PROGRAMMABLE 20 ~ 65 [°C] / 68 ~ 150 [°F]: (using the OP500
programmer with software v.30 or newer that can be found at www.install.myfirstech.com) will activate
the start sequence at the end of the time cycle (set by feature 2-06 option setting) if temperature is at or above
this temperature.
2-10 Engine Sensing: This feature determines how the CM will monitor the state of the engine (running or not
running), release the starter output, and consider the vehicle running. Every CMX is shipped in manual
transmission mode. Tach sensing is our default engine sense option.
FO1 - Tach: This option uses a hard-wired input (yellow/black CN3 connector) or data signal from a
compatible interface module to read the vehicles RPM’s to release the starter during the remote start
process and determine that the engine is running
FO2 - Alternator: This option uses the hardwired tach input (yellow/black CN4 gray connector) to
read the voltage output from the vehicles stator wire to release the starter during the remote start
process and determine that the engine is running. Note: with late model computer-controlled
alternators, the peak charging voltage may not be reached for several seconds after the vehicle is
running. This may make this option inconsistent when the battery is low or very cold.
FO3 - Tachless Mode – (Automatic Transmission Vehicles Only)
Tachless sensing is an alternative engine sensing mode. It does not require a connection to the vehicle
other than the main ignition harness. Note: due to the delayed peak charging found with most late
model computer-controlled alternators, this feature may not be reliable.
FO4 - No Connection Assumed running: Note: can only be used with automatic transmission. This
option provides a programmable timed starter output (1-6 seconds) (programmability only
available with OP500 v.31+ update) (default to 3 seconds), then leave the rest of the CMX ignition
and accessory outputs on and assuming the vehicle is running. Note: This is a good option for (PTS)
Push to Start applications and Hybrid vehicles (except manual transmission). NOTE: This option
will have a “system check” when enabled when feature 2-11 is set to option 2. This will check the
system 2 minutes after remote start confirmation. If the system is above 12.5 VDC the CM will
stay running. If the system is 12.5 VDC or lower the CM will shut down.
2-11 Advanced Tachless: This feature when used in conjunction with feature 2-10 option 3 will provide an
enhanced Tachless engine sensing mode.
FO1 - Off: (default)
FO2 - On: this option will enable the advanced algorithm to allow the CMX to release the starter and
consider the vehicle running. This option is better suited for late model computer-controlled vehicles or
older vehicles with poor starting conditions. Note: feature 2-10 must be set to option 3 or 4 for it to work
properly. NOTE: Option 2 will enable the system check for feature 2-10 option 4. please see 2-10

2-12 Crank Time: This feature allows the user to add or remove crank time to the selected option for feature
2-10 (engine sense).
FO1 - Standard: (default crank time no change).
FO2 - +200mS: To standard crank time of option selected on feature 2-10.
FO3 - +600mS: Adds 600 milliseconds to standard crank time of option selected on feature 2-10.
FO4 - (-)200mS: releases the starter output 200 Milliseconds earlier than standard crank time of option
selected on feature 2-10.
