until the Glow Plug Light goes out to crank the Engine. Connect to the side of the
Glow Plug Light that becomes positive when the Light is on.
Note: In Diesel Mode there is an 18-sec. crank timing delay (or approximately
25-sec. if the run time is set to 30 min.): if the Glow Plug Light is still on after the
delay expires, the module will proceed to start the Engine.
(Also known as the “wait-to-start light”.) The purpose of the Glow-plug circuit
on diesel vehicles is to pre-heat the Combustion Chamber before the vehicle is
started.
When a Remote Starter is installed on a diesel vehicle, the Glow- plug section of
the Ignition circuit must be activated and allowed to operate before the vehicle is
remote-started. For that purpose, the Glow-plug input wire of the module must be
connected to the Glow-plug indicator light of the vehicle. The module will only
accept positive Glow-plug input signals, if the signal is negative, use a relay to
invert its polarity. A diode must be added between the negative Glow-plug trigger
on the relay and the negative Glow-plug wire of the car. This is to prevent
feedback effects on the Glow-plug indicator light on the instrument cluster: the
light on the dash would come on because of the feedback, even though the
circuit is off.
When the user remote-starts the vehicle:
The module will power up the Ignition circuit and wait to engage the Starter Motor
while the Glow-plug indicator light is still on.
The module will engage the Starter Motor as soon as the Glow-plug light (+)
goes out.
Minimum waiting time is 4 seconds.
Maximum waiting time is 30 seconds (approximately).
If no Glow-plug wire is found on the vehicle, the Glow-plug input on the module
may be “timed out”. The module will power up the Ignition and Glow-plug circuits
and simply wait for the time-out before starting.
Keeping the Glow-plug input wire of the module unconnected will hold the
ignition on for the preprogrammed delay.
Warning! Please program the tach before connecting the glow-plug input to the
