Control Module - Audiovox PLATINUM PRESTIGE APS 750a Manuel De L'utilisateur

The APS-750a Remote Start/Alarm System is designed to be used with Automatic Transmission Ve-
hicles Only! The unit provides no output for glow plug pre-heat and may not be desirable for diesel
vehicles. If the diesel engine has a instant fire, (no glow plug pre-heat system), a tach signal input, and
an Automatic Transmission, this unit may be used. For diesel applications, consult your dealer for the
type of ignition system in your particular vehicle.
INSTALLATION OF THE MAJOR COMPONENTS:

CONTROL MODULE:

Select a mounting location inside the passenger compartment (up behind the dashboard). The mounting
location selected must be within 24" of the ignition switch wiring harness to allow connection of the 6 pin
main wiring harness.
Be certain that the chosen location will not interfere with proper operation of the vehicle. Avoid mounting
the module to or routing the wiring around the steering shaft/column, as the module or wiring may wrap
around or block the steering wheel preventing proper control of the vehicle. Secure the module in the
chosen location using cable ties or screws as necessary.
Do Not Mount The Module In The Engine Compartment, as it is not waterproof.
SIREN:
Select a location in the engine compartment that is not accessible from below the vehicle. The selected
location must be clear of hot or moving parts within the engine compartment The siren must be pointed
downward to prevent water retention and the flared end must be pointed away from and out of the engine
compartment for maximum sound distribution. Before securing the siren, check behind your chosen
location to assure that the mounting screws will not penetrate any factory wiring or fluid lines. Secure the
siren mounting bracket using #8 self taping screws or by first using the mounting bracket as a template,
scribe or mark the three bracket mounting holes. Drill the three marked holes using a 1/8" drill bit, than
mount the siren using #8 sheet metal screws.
HOOD AND TRUNK PIN SWITCHES:
The pin switches included in this package are intended for protecting the hood and trunk areas of the
vehicle. In all cases, the switch must be mounted to a grounded metal surface. When the pin switch is
activated, (hood/trunk open), it will supply a ground to the input wire activating the alarm. In addition, the
hood switch is required for the safety shut down of the remote start unit. If the vehicle is being worked on,
this hood switch prevents the remote start activation even if the RF command to start is issued. This
switch must be installed in all applications Failure to do so may result in personal injury or property
damage. Mount the switches in the hood and trunk locations away from water drain paths. If necessary,
the included brackets may be used to move the switch away from rain gutters or allow mounting to the
firewall behind the hood seal. In both cases the switch must be set up to allow the hood or trunk door to
depress the switch at least 1/4 inch when the hood or trunk is closed and fully extended when the hood
or trunk is opened. For direct mounting, a 1/4 inch hole must be drilled. Carefully check behind the
chosen location to insure the drill will not penetrate any existing factory wiring or fluid lines. Drill a 1/4"
hole in the desired location and thread the pin switch into it using a 7/16" nut driver or deep well socket.
If using the mounting bracket, first secure the bracket to the desired location and secure the pin switch in
the pre-threaded mounting bracket hole.
DASH MOUNTED L.E.D.:
The small Red LED included in the kit will serve as a visual indicator of the alarm's status and provide a
visual deterrent to a potential thief. The LED also provides important feed back information during the
transmitter and feature program modes. The LED should be installed in the dash in an area highly visible
so that it may be seen from the driver's seat as well as from outside the vehicle. Inspect behind the
chosen location to insure that the drill will not penetrate any existing factory wiring or fluid lines. Carefully
drill a 1/4" hole in the desired location and pass the connector end of the LED through the hole and toward
the control module. Press the LED firmly into place until it is fully seated in the mounting hole.
