KEYLESS ENTRY ALARM UPGRADE MODULE
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
PRE-INSTALLATIONNOTES:
This system provides an output that should be used to drive the siren, but can be programmed to pulse the vehicle's horn.
When utilizing the horn, an additional relay is required. Caution: on many vehicles the factory horn is not designed
forcontinuoususe,anditisrecommendedthatthesirenisusedforthesevehicles.Checktoseeifthehorninthevehicle
is the same part that is used in a vehicle with the factory installed security system.

PASSIVE / ACTIVE ARMING SELECTION : DIP SWITCH # 1
This alarm can be programmed to operate as either a " PASSIVE " or " ACTIVE " arming security system.
As a passive arming system, the alarm will automatically arm 30 seconds after the ignition key is turned off, one door is opened, then
all doors are closed. Additionally, if a door has been left opened, or if one of the trigger zones is defective, the system will always arm
10 minutes after the ignition key has been turned off, and ignore the defective trigger zone.
As an active arming system, the alarm will arm only when the vehicle’s doors have been locked using the existing OEM Keyless Entry
Transmitter.
The system is shipped from the factory in the active arming mode, and to select the passive arming mode, move dip switch # 1 to the "
ON " position.
1 OR 2 WIRE DISARM INPUT SELECTION : DIP SWITCH # 2
This alarm can be programmed for either 1 wire or 2 wire disarm operation.

VALET AND EMERGENCY OVERRIDE SWITCHES
This system provides individual inputs for two switches, a valet switch and a manual override switch. Moving these two functions to
separate switches provides an even higher level of security.
UNDERSTANDING DISARM #1 AND #2:
BecauseofthecomplexitiesofthedifferentfactoryRemoteKeylessEntryUnitsonthemarkettoday,theAPS-30uses(2)disarminputs.
Inallinstallations,whetherinstallingwitha2stepunlockcircuit,singlestepunlockcircuit,orastandalonepassivealarm, bothofthese
wires must be connected.
The following logic chart will help to demonstrate how these disarm inputs work. As shown in the chart, the APS-30 will disarm only
when Disarm inputs #1 and #2 are at opposing polarities.
Inaddition,whenDipSwitch#2issettotheONposition(1WIREDISARM),thealarmwillnotdisarmwhileitistriggered. Invehicles
with the single step unlock circuits, it is always best to set Dip Switch #2 to the OFF position (2 wire disarm), and wire according to the
Audiovox Tech Tips #22 and #23.

NO CHANGE IN ALARM
A small red L.E.D. is included that will serve as a visual indicator of the alarm status. It should be installed into the dashboard, located
where it is easily seen from outside the vehicle, yet not distracting to the driver.
STATUS
Once a location has been selected, check behind the panel for wire routing access, and to confirm the drill will not damage any existing
components as it passes through the panel.
Drill a 1/4 " diameter hole, and pass the red and blue wires from the L.E.D. through the hole, from the front of the panel. Firmly press
the body of the L.E.D. into the hole until fully seated.
VALET SWITCH
Select a mounting location for the valet switch, that is easily accessible to the driver of the vehicle.
The switch does not have to be concealed since it will in no way disarm the system from the armed or triggered state. The valet switch
may be mounted below or on the dashboard by drilling a 9/32 " diameter hole in the selected location. Before drilling, be sure to check

SIREN
Select a mounting location in the engine compartment that is well protected from access below the vehicle. Avoid areas near high heat
components or moving parts within the engine compartment. To prevent water retention, the flared end of the siren must be pointed
downward when mounted.
Mount the siren to the selected location using the screws and bracket provided.

WIRING THE SYSTEM :
13PINCONNECTOR
RED FUSED WIRE - ( VOLTAGE SENSING ) : + 12 VDC CONSTANT BATTERY SOURCE
This wire controls the sensitivity of the voltage sensing circuit, which detects the turning on of an interior light when a door is opened.
Itwillalsodetecttheswitchingonofparkingorheadlamps, andinmanycaseswilltriggerthealarmwhenathermostaticallycontrolled
electronic cooling fan switches on.
It is recommended that when installing this system into vehicles with electronic " after fans, " the procedure for RED FUSED WIRE
- ( HARDWIRE ) should be followed.
In voltage sensing applications, the closer to the battery that this wire is connected, the less sensitive the voltage sense circuitry will be.
Moving the connection point to the fuse panel will increase the sensitivity of the voltage sensing circuitry.
RED FUSED WIRE - ( HARDWIRE ) : + 12 VDC CONSTANT BATTERY SOURCE
When hardwiring the control module to switches at all points of entry, the voltage sense circuit must be disabled. Move dip switch # 6
to the " OFF " position. Connect the RED wire to a + 12 VDC constant battery source.
WHITE WIRE : + 12 VDC PULSED PARKING LIGHT OUTPUT ( 15 A MAX )
This wire is provided to flash the vehicle’s parking lights. Connect the WHITE wire to the positive side of one of the vehicle’s parking
lights.
WHITE w/ BLACK TRACE WIRE : POSITIVE OUTPUT TO SIREN OR HORN
This is a 3 A + 12 VDC transistorized switched or pulsed output when triggered ( see Dip Switch #3 ).
In the siren mode, connect this wire to the positive wire of the siren. Secure the black ground wire of the siren to chassis ground.
In the horn mode, connect this wire to terminal 85 of an external relay, connect terminal 86 of the relay to ground, and use the normally
open and common relay contacts ( 87 and 30 ) to pulse the vehicle’s horn, and move Dip Switch #3 to the "ON" position.
PURPLE WIRE : (+) DOOR TRIGGER
If the vehicle’s door courtesy light switches have a + 12 VDC output when the door is opened ( most Fords ), you must connect this
wiretothepositiveoutputfromoneofthedoorswitches.Donot connectthiswireattheilluminatedentryoutputfromthekeylessentry
module. You must connect this wire at the door ajar switch. In most cases, the PURPLE wire will only need to be connected to one
door switch, no matter how many doors the vehicle has.
IMPORTANT ! Do not use the PURPLE wire if the vehicle has ground output type door switches. (see BROWN wire).
YELLOW WIRE : + 12 VDC IGNITION SOURCE
Connect this wire to a source that is + 12 VDC when the key is in the on and crank positions, and off when the key is in the off position.
DARK GREEN w/ WHITE TRACE WIRE : ENTRY ILLUMINATION ( 300 mA MAX. )
The DARK GREEN w/ WHITE TRACE wire provides a 30 second ground signal whenever the system is disarmed using the OEM
transmitter, and pulses ground when the alarm is triggered.
It should be used to provide the optional entry lighting, and to flash the vehicle’s dome light when the alarm is sounding.
Thisisatransistorized,lowcurrentoutput,andshouldonlybeusedtodriveanexternalrelaycoil.ConnecttheDARKGREENw/WHITE
TRACE wire to terminal 86 of an external relay, connect terminal 85 of the relay to + 12 VDC battery, and wire the normally open and
