2 Dark Green w/ White Trace Wires : ENTRY ILLUMINATION
The dark green w/ white trace wires provide the entry lighting, and flash the vehicle’s dome light while the
alarm is sounding. These are NO ( normally open ) and COM ( common ) contacts of an on board, 10 Amp
maximum relay.
Connect one of the dark green w/ white trace wires to the wire in the vehicle that turns on the interior
courtesy light. Connect the other dark green w/ white trace wire to either chassis ground if the vehicle
switches ground to the courtesy lights, or a fused + 12 volt constant battery source if the vehicle switches
12 volts to the courtesy lights.

NOTE : When wiring this feature in vehicles with factory equipped delay lighting circuits, it is
best to connect to the output of the timer which feeds the dome light, rather than at the
door switch. This will ensure that the dome light pulses when the alarm is triggered.

White w/ Black Trace Wire : POSITIVE OUTPUT TO SIREN
Route this wire through a rubber grommet in the firewall, and to the siren location.
Connect the white / black wire to the positive wire of the siren. Secure the black ground wire of the siren to
chassis ground.

Black w/White Trace Wire: LOW CURRENT NEGATIVE HORN OUTPUT (300mA MAX CURRENT)
The Black w/White trace wire provides a 300mA pulsed output to beep the vehicle's horn. This low current
pulsed output should only be connected to the low current switched ground output from the vehicle's horn
switch.
If the vehicle switches high current ground or + 12 volts to the horn, a relay must be used to operate the
vehicle horn. Connect the Black w/White trace wire to terminal #86 of a VF45F11 P&B or equivalent 30 A
automotive relay. Connect terminal #85 to a fused + 12 volt source. Connect the remaining relay contacts,
87, 87a, and 30 to perform the switching function the vehicle's horn circuit requires.

Dark Green Wire : ( - ) INSTANT TRIGGER ZONE 2
This is an instant on ground trigger wire. It must be connected to the previously installed hood and trunk pin
switches.

Brown Wire : - DOOR TRIGGER
If the vehicle’s courtesy light switches have a ( - ) ground output when the door is opened ( GM and most
Imports ), you must connect this wire to the negative output from one of the door switches.
WARNING : Do not use the brown wire if the vehicle has + 12 volt output type door switches. ( see Purple
If the vehicle’s courtesy light switches have a ( - ) ground output when the door is opened ( GM and most
Imports ), you must connect this wire to the negative output from one of the door switches.
WARNING : Do not use the brown wire if the vehicle has + 12 volt output type door switches. ( see Purple
Wire ).
Light Green Wire : ( - ) INSTANT TRIGGER ZONE 1
This is an instant on ground trigger wire. This wire ( zone ) should be reserved for connection to optional
ground output trigger devices such as motion and / or shock impact sensors.

Yellow Wire : + 12 VDC IGNITION SOURCE
Connect this wire to a source that is live when the key is in the on and crank positions. Be sure that this
source is off when the key is in the off position.

Purple Wire : + DOOR TRIGGER
If the vehicle’s door courtesy light switches have a + 12 volt output when the door is opened ( most Fords
and some Imports ), you must connect this wire to the positive output from one of the door switches. In
most cases, the purple wire will only need to be connected to one door switch, no matter how many doors
the vehicle has.
WARNING : Do not use the purple wire if the vehicle has ground output type door switches. ( see Brown
