WIRING: 5-PIN Connector (Trigger Inputs)
Violet: (+) Door Pin Switch Input
Same as the GREEN wire below except this wire is used for vehicles that show a positive voltage (+12 volts) when
the door is open and a ground when doors are closed as in many Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles.
Green: (-) Door Pin Switch Input
Identify the wire that reads ground when any door is open and 12 volts when all doors are closed. Some vehicles
may have isolated door triggers. In this case you may need to run additional wires from other doors or go directly to
the wire that triggers the vehicle’s interior dome light. Sometimes newer vehicles contain a separate body control
module (BCM) where the door trigger circuit can be located. Most vehicles will NOT require the use of BOTH Green
and Violet door trigger wires.
Blue: (-) Hood/Trunk Pin Switch Input
Input trigger for a grounding hood or trunk pin switch. Connect to existing hood and trunk pin switches that read
ground when open. If no existing switches are available, install new pin switches if desired. Note: DO NOT mount
new pin switches in water pathways.
Pink: (+12V) +/- Diesel Glow Plug Input or Passive Carjack Input (Programmable Input Wire)
+/- Trigger: See diagram (Pg. 29) for Jumper Pin Configuration.
+/- Glow Plug Input (Diesel Vehicles Only)
Connect Pink wire to indicator circuit that shows a (- or +) Signal while the “WAIT TO START LAMP” is on.
When this wire is used, the system will wait until light turns off before attempting a remote start.
Passive Carjack Trigger
When using Carjack protection, connect this Pink wire to a (+ or -) toggle switch, or +12V ignition source
depending on your level of Carjack protection. When +12V is applied to this wire with the IGN on, then Carjack
is armed. If a door is opened then closed with ignition on, the Carjack countdown will begin. See Diagram
Below for wiring configurations. DO NOT connect the Pink Carjack wire to Ignition unless there is extreme
danger of a Carjack. When using the Ignition, Carjack is armed all the time and must be reset each time a
door is opened and closed.

Negative outputs of the system to Positive type for Positive
Door Lock systems.
CS-610S1: Aftermarket door lock actuator (motor).
POWER DOOR LOCKS: WIRING & SYSTEM TYPES
PIN 1: BLUE: (-) Negative pulse for UNLOCK
PIN 2: RED: 12V When using external relays (TERM 86)
PIN 3: GREEN: (-) Negative pulse for LOCK
DETERMINING DOOR LOCK TYPE: We recommend
determining the type of locking system the vehicle has
before connecting any wires. Incorrect connection may
result in damage to the alarm and/or vehicle locking system.
Door lock information is provided as a guide. Your vehicle may be different.
Negative Trigger (-): Many Imports; Late model Ford & General Motors
Negative trigger door lock systems send a Negative (Ground) pulse to existing factory relays to lock and unlock the
vehicle doors.
Positive Trigger (+): Many General Motors; Chrysler / Dodge / Plymouth
Positive trigger door lock systems send a Positive (12V) pulse to existing factory relays to lock and unlock the
vehicle doors.
Reverse Polarity: Many Ford/Lincoln/Mercury/Dodge/Chrysler/Plymouth and early 90’s GM Trucks
Reverse Polarity systems use no relays, but instead the door lock/unlock motors are controlled directly from the lock
and unlock switches in the door. The lock and unlock wires rest at Negative Ground when not in use. When the
lock or unlock button is pressed, one of the circuits is “Lifted” and replaced with +12V causing a lock or unlock to
occur.
Single Wire (Dual Voltage): Late model Chrysler/Dodge/Plymouth Vehicles, some 2000-UP GM
Dual Voltage systems have lock/unlock switches that send varying levels of Positive voltage OR Negative ground
current to the SAME wire for both lock and unlock. When the vehicle’s Body Computer Module (BCM) or door lock
module senses different voltages on this wire, the system will either lock or unlock. Single wire door lock systems
require relays and resistors.
Databus Systems 2003-UP GM Trucks & SUV’s, ‘96-04 Jeep Grand Cherokee
Databus systems send low current “Data messages” to the door lock controllers on a network in order to lock and
unlock the vehicle. To install aftermarket systems in these vehicles, an interface module is required that converts
the regular lock/unlock pulses into “Data messages” to allow locking & unlocking. Interface modules are sold
separately.

TACHLESS MODE
Your system includes a Tach-less mode that actively monitors and compares the vehicle’s resting voltage versus its
running voltage each time a remote start is performed; [instead of the conventional tach-pulse method]. Smart
Tachless mode adjusts automatically to maintain optimum efficiency over the life of the installation.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
(1) SETUP may be required for the Tachless Mode. If your vehicle has NOT been at rest for a period of time (Hot
engine), then you must drain the surface charge from the battery. Unplug main power harness from system, turn
HEADLIGHTS ON for 4 minutes to drain off excess surface charge on vehicle’s battery then reconnect.
(2) On the rare occasion that Tachless mode does not operate satisfactorily, change the voltage reference level as
described below, or use a different mode such as “Tach Reference” mode, or “Timed Crank” mode.
TACHLESS ADJUSTMENT:
In the event Tachless over-cranks or under-cranks your starter, the settings can be changed. The purpose of
adjusting the “Smart Tachless” Mode is to raise or lower the voltage reference threshold from the 93% default point.
Raising or lowering this 93% point should increase or decrease your cranking time respectively. You can adjust the
range from 79% to 100% in one percent increments. Factory default setting [starting point] is in the middle at 93%
which should work for most vehicles. If you feel you need to fine tune the Tachless mode, then follow the steps
below to adjust its reference level.
1. Open hood (or ground the Blue hood pin wire if no hood pin is installed)
2. Turn the key to the ON position (do not start vehicle).
3. Press program button 5 times, after a few seconds the unit will flash the lights 5 times.
4. Carefully press the program button 24 times to get to option # 24. You must get a light flash after each press. If
the lights didn’t flash, then the unit did not register your button press. Only count the light flash.
5. Press the Lock Button #1 on the remote to decrease by 1% (lights will flash 1X for each press); Press the Unlock
Button #2 to increase by 1% (lights will flash 2X for each press); Press the Trunk Button #3 to reset to 93% (lights
will flash 3X). The unit will stop providing light flashes when you reach the bottom (79%) or the top (100%) of the
adjustment range. If you lost track, then just press Button #3 to reset back to 93% and begin again.
6. Turn Ignition OFF, Close hood (or un-ground the Blue wire) and check operation.

17
TACH MODE & TACH FINDER FEATURE
Tach Reference Mode provides reliable remote starting performance though engine speed sensing. When using
Tach Reference Mode, the WHITE/RED wire is used for Tach signal [Engine RPM] input. Most modern engines
include various points where the Engine Speed [Tach] or A/C signal may be obtained. Tach Signal examples:
Negative (-) side of ignition coil, at the Distributor or Ignition Control Module, Coil Pack, Engine Computer, or
Crankshaft Sensor. Sometimes Fuel injection solenoids and Alternator stator pins can be used. These Tach Signal
locations mentioned are provided as a guide, your vehicle may differ. Some locations will NOT be a good location
for Tach source due to RF noise or Computer Data. Use the TACH FINDER feature if needed.
TACH FINDER FEATURE:
The Tach Finder mode can assist you in locating or verifying a Tach source for your installation. Follow the Tach
Finder steps below to locate signal. The unit will begin to flash the parking lights if you have the White/Red wire
connected to a valid tach source. If lights do not flash, then try another wire until you locate a tach signal that will
cause the Parking lights to flash. NOTE: On vehicles equipped with daytime running lights, it may be difficult to see
any flashing parking lights. In this case your only notification will be the slight “ticking” sound coming out of the
module from the on-board flashing light relay.
TACH FINDER:
1. Open hood (Ground the Blue hood pin wire if no hood pin is installed)
2. Start Engine with the key. (Pink ignition wire must be connected)
3. Press the Program button for 2 seconds
4. Lights will begin flashing if the White/Red wire is connected to a valid tach
5. Once Tach is located then turn off engine and close hood to abort.
6. See Tach Reference programming below.
TACH PROGRAMMING:
1. Open hood (Ground Blue hood pin wire if no hood pin is installed).
2. Connect WHITE/RED wire to a valid Tach source.
3. Start engine with the key (Pink ignition wire must be connected).
4. Press program button 5 times, then wait for 5 light flashes.
5. Wait at least one second then push program button again (1) time, you should get a light flash with the button
press. This unit is now at option #1 for Tach Learning.
6. Press the #1 Lock Button on remote transmitter to program Tach. NOTE: Pressing the Brake Pedal also
programs Tach. One Light Flash = Tach Mode. Two Light Flashes = Tachless Mode.
7. If lights do not flash for confirmation, then try another tach source or try the tach finder feature above.

18
TIMED CRANK MODE
As an alternative to Tach or Tachless mode, “Timed Crank” provides an additional method of starting the vehicle
without locating an exact tach wire. It uses a timed cranking output combined with the use of the Red/White tach
wire as an engine ON/OFF monitor. The Red/White Tach wire MUST STILL be used with this mode. THIS
FEATURE MUST BE PROGRAMMED BEFORE USE! THERE ARE 2 LEVELS of programming required: First, set
the system for “Timed Crank” operation, and secondly you may need to adjust the amount of cranking time. There
are 4 different crank times available for use. SEE OPTION PROGRAMMING CHART FOR SETTINGS.
HOW TO USE THIS FEATURE:
1. Go to the “Programmable Options” section, and set Option #16 to “Pre-Set". (It is normally set to “Tach Monitor”)
2. With “Pre-Set” Cranking time turned ON, you will STILL have to connect the Red/White Tach wire to a tach
source on the engine. The Red/White Tach wire becomes a simple “Engine Monitor”. Although the unit will not
be using the Red/White wire to start the motor, it will be using this wire to determine whether the motor is running
or not. This is a mandatory connection. A “crude” or “less exact” tach source can be used only when in “Time
Crank” mode.
3. Using the vehicle key, start the engine to get a “feel” of how long the cranking time is. Once the “Timed Crank”
mode is turned on, the default cranking time is set to a Default of 0.50 seconds. We recommend beginning with
this setting. Try a remote start and see if the cranking is appropriate for your vehicle
4. If 0.50 seconds is not an appropriate starter cranking time, then go to Programming Option #21 and change the
crank time setting to a longer value. The values are as follows: 0.5, 0.75. 1.0, and 1.5 seconds.
WARNING: This method of starting the vehicle is not as reliable as using regular “Tach” or “Ultra-Smart”
Tachless modes. This method should be used only in the event that a tach wire cannot be located using the
normal tach programming and tach finder. When using this method, there may be certain operating
anomalies requiring seasonal adjustments. These are, but not limited to:
• Starter may under-crank in extreme cold weather. Vehicle may not start on 1st attempt and may require a
2nd try, 3rd try, or may not start at all if unsuccessful after 3 attempts.
• In warm weather when your vehicle may start very quickly, “Timed Crank” mode may tend to over-crank
the starter.
• The only way to possibly correct the above issues is to go to the Option #21 and adjust the cranking
time. When in “Timed Crank” mode, the cranking time can only be adjusted manually through option
#21. When using Ultra-Smart Tachless or Regular Tach modes, cranking time is adjusted automatically.

DIESEL GLOW PLUG DELAY
This feature provides a solution for diesel vehicles without having to connect to the Glow Plug-“Wait to Start Circuit”
input. This may be due to a variety of reasons for example: If your vehicle does not have a viable “Wait to Start
Circuit” or you cannot locate and identify the circuit. You can choose from a selection of “pre-cranking” delay times.
Once this mode is activated, the system will NO LONGER monitor the PINK glow plug input wire and will use a
delay setting chosen by the installer in the option chart.
NOTES: This feature is OFF by default and must be programmed before use. Once this feature is turned ON, the
Pink Glow plug input wire is not used. The Remote start unit will always wait the programmed time before cranking
EVEN IF the glow plugs warm up first. There are 3 different Delay times available for use: 10, 20, or 30 seconds.
SEE PROGRAMMING OPTION CHART, next section.
HOW TO USE THIS FEATURE:
1. See the “Programmable Options” next section and change Option #22 from "Monitor Glow Plug Light" to one of
the delayed time values. (Default setting is to always monitor the PINK Glow Plug input wire.)
2. Once this option has changed the system will wait for the selected time before cranking the engine.
PROGRAMMABLE OPTIONS
You can program multiple options in one session if you start with the lowest option and continue on to higher options
[if needed] without repeating steps #1-3 below. For example, you can follow the programming steps to change
Option #2 to “OFF” by pressing the lock button on the remote, then you can continue pressing the program button
additional times to get to a high number option and change the setting without having to repeat Steps 1-5. You can
only go from low to higher option numbers in one session.
To Engage Option Programming:
1. Open Hood (ground blue hood pin wire if no hood pin switch is installed)
2. Turn Key to the ON position
3. Press program / valet button 5 times, after a few seconds the unit will flash the lights 5 times.
4. Push the valet/program button [again] the number of times that corresponds to the option number desired (1 thru
30). You must get a light flash after each button press. See chart on next page for option list.
5. When you reach the desired programming level, Press button #1, #2 #3 or #4 to change the option.
6. Turn Ignition OFF, Close hood (or unground blue hood pin wire) and check for changed features. Change each
option individually repeating #1-5.

PROGRAMMABLE OPTIONS Cont.
3. PASSIVE ARMING Passive Arming With Ignition or Last Door:
With this option ON, the unit will arm itself 30 Seconds after the ignition is turned off and/or the last door has been
closed. Lights will flash twice when last door is closed indicating passive countdown. If a door is reopened, the
system will wait and begin countdown again when closed. The LED will flash rapidly during 30 second count down.
4. ACTIVE RE-ARM: Active Re-arming allows the system to re-arm itself 30 seconds after disarmed with the
transmitter if a door has not been opened. The status LED flashes rapidly during 30 second re-arm countdown. This
is handy if the vehicle is accidentally disarmed without your knowledge.
5. PASSIVE LOCKS:
This option controls whether the doors will lock when Passive Arming occurs. Note: This may increase the risk of
locking keys in the vehicle.
6. PARKING LIGHTS ON WITH DISARM:
Keeps parking lights on when system is disarmed to assist in locating and providing illumination near your vehicle
when approaching at night for safety.
7. Data Port Protocol:
This option controls the Data Port Protocol for OFA Series modules or SL Series modules. The default is set for SL
Series Protocol. This option has no effect on conventional wiring of Bypass modules. Both OFA series and SL series
are now 2-Way Protocol.

Lock/Unlock Buttons. When chirps are OFF, the Flashing parking lights will be the only Arm/Disarm confirmation.
19. +12V “WAKE UP” PULSE:
This option allows the unit to provide a 1-second pulse on the Pink main ignition output when unlocking. The
Ignition pulse serves to “Wake up” vehicle control modules or body computers that “time out” or go into power
saving mode. This is required on many late model Ford vehicles with a “Slam” lock system in order to actually
unlock the vehicle after it has been at rest for a short period of time.
20. PINK WIRE PROGRAMMING: PASSIVE CAR JACK TRIGGER or GLOW PLUG INPUT:
This option controls whether the system’s PINK input wire functions as a Glow Plug input wire for Diesel Engines or
a +12V input for tripping a Carjack countdown. For Glow plug, this wire should be connected to the wait to start light
circuit. For Carjack this wire can be connected to a hidden push button, or a +12V Ignition circuit for Passive Car
Jack operation (see operations manual).

2-VEHICLE OPERATION
2 VEHICLE CONTROL
Your remotes have the ability to control a second vehicle with a Crimestopper system installed.
To set up the 2-Vehicle operation you must first program your remotes to Vehicle #2. Follow the “Transmitter
Programming” steps (Pg. 26) at the second vehicle and learn YOUR remote, along with vehicle #2’s existing
remotes.
2-VEHCLE NOTES:
(1) You do not have to switch between Vehicle “1” and “2” to get pages from each vehicle. Your remote pager will
receive pages from both cars regardless of which vehicle the pager is set to. The “1” or “2” icon will always display
with each page indicate which vehicle the page originated from.
(2) When, all remote/pagers and sidekick remotes for that vehicle must be learned at the time of programming.
When you program your remote at the second vehicle, that vehicle’s original remote must also be programmed.
Your remote should be set in Vehicle “2” and the vehicle’s original remote should be set in Vehicle “1”.

ALARM TRIGGER DIAGNOSTICS
This systems includes disarm diagnostics, through the LED light, that will help in determining what caused the last
trigger of the alarm system. This is a valuable tool in determining how the vehicle was tampered with or if there is a
false alarm problem in which case you can make the necessary adjustments to correct the problem.
When the system is disarmed with the remote you will hear the normal 2 chirps, then 4 quick chirps that indicate the
alarm was triggered while you were away. Check the LED light for a sequence of flashes:
Shock Sensor Violation = 1 Flash Door Violation = 2 Flashes
Hood/Trunk = 3 Flashes Ignition Violation = 4 Flashes
Diagnostics will reset when the Ignition is turned on or when the system is re-armed.
REMOTE START DIAGNOSTICS
If the system flashes the parking lights one to three times and doesn’t attempt remote, it means the following:
1 Parking Light Flash = Problem with Brake Switch. There could be a problem with a bad brake light. Many dual
filament light bulbs connect the brake and park lights together when bulb goes bad. Check all brake lights work
properly.
2 Parking Light Flashes = Problem with Hood Switch. Make sure hood is closed or that the Blue hood pin wire is
not shorted to Ground.
3 Parking Light Flashes = Valet Service Mode. Check the systems LED light and if it is on solid Red LED (with
doors closed) then the system is in Valet Mode. To exit Valet Mode, turn the Ignition on, press and hold Valet Button
for about 5 seconds until LED goes out. Unit is now out of Valet Mode and should perform a remote start.
7 Parking Light Flashes = Manual Transmission Mode Error.

ANTI CARJACK PROTECTION
REMOTE OPERATED CARJACK PROTECTION
This feature provides Active Carjack protection through the remote control. When the Ignition is on (vehicle is
running), press and hold the #1 LOCK Button and #3 TRUNK Button for 2 seconds. The parking lights will
flash 2 times and the LED will begin to flash rapidly to confirm the beginning of a Carjack countdown. 30
Seconds later, the unit will begin a Carjack Cycle consisting of 20 seconds of pre-warning chirps turning into a
full system activation with siren / flashing light pulses for up to 5 min. If the Ignition is turned off during a
Carjack trigger the siren and lights stop but Carjack protection is still active. The Siren and Lights will resume
if the Carjacker tries to turn the Ignition back ON. TO RESET: Press Button #2 (UNLOCK) on the remote and
the siren will chirp once, or turn the key on and press and hold the override button for at least 5 seconds.
SWITCH-CONTROLLED & FULL TIME CARJACK (PINK WIRE CONFIGURATION)
This feature can provide Passive or Manual control Carjack protection depending on the configuration of the
Pink Carjack wire of the alarm system. The system must be programmed for the Pink wire to be used as a
Carjack trigger with programming option #20. Once programmed for the Pink wire for use as a Carjack trigger,
it can be configured in different ways to provide different levels of protection. It can be connected to a hidden
+12V toggle/momentary switch or to +12V Ignition Power. Read following sections for further descriptions.
HIDDEN SWITCH-CONTROLLED CARJACK:
This configuration will enable the vehicle owner to activate a Carjack countdown by pressing a hidden push-
button (not included with kit) during a Carjack situation. A Carjack countdown will begin under the following
conditions: Ignition is ON (vehicle is running), the push-button is pressed, and the door opens/closes. Upon
these 3 events, in that order, the alarm will start a Carjack countdown. After a delay of one minute, the system
will begin chirping for 20 seconds then trigger into a full cycle for up to 5 minutes. To reset this Carjack mode,
Ignition must be ON then press and hold the override/valet button for 5 seconds (until LED goes out.)
FULL-TIME [Permanent] CARJACK:
We recommend that this configuration only be used if a serious threat of Carjack exists during everyday
situations. When the Ignition is on (vehicle is running), anytime a door is opened, the Carjack countdown
sequence will be initiated. There will be 2 light flashes and the LED will change from solid to quick pulsing as
confirmation of a countdown sequence. To reset FULL TIME Carjack, the Ignition has to be ON, then press
and hold the override/program button 5 seconds until LED stops pulsing. The LED will be on SOLID when in
this mode anytime the Ignition is ON (or while driving) as a reminder that Carjack is waiting for a door to open.

LED DIAGNOSTICS
The SP-500 system includes disarm diagnostics, through the BLUE LED light, that will help in determining
what caused the last trigger of the alarm system. This is a valuable tool in determining how the vehicle was
tampered with or if there is a false alarm problem in which case you can make the necessary adjustments to
correct the problem. When the system is disarmed with the remote you will hear the normal 2 chirps, then 4
quick chirps that indicate the alarm was triggered while you were away. Check the LED light for a sequence
of flashes:
Shock Sensor = 1 Flash Door = 2 Flashes Hood/Trunk = 3 Flashes Ignition = 4 Flashes
Diagnostics will reset when the Ignition is turned on or when the system is re-armed.
REMOTE START DIAGNOSTICS
If the system flashes the parking lights one to three times and doesn’t attempt remote, it means the following:
1 Parking Light Flash = Problem with Brake Switch.
2 Parking Light Flashes = Problem with Hood Switch.
3 Parking Light Flashes = Valet Service Mode.
7 Parking Light Flashes = Manual Transmission Mode Error.
