The Brown and Yellow wires on the spade connectors are connected to internal relays and can feed 12 volts out at up to 30 amps. The orange, white/black, blue, brown, and orange wires are negative switched outputs designed to turn on external relays. These outputs can only handle 0.25 amps and must be used with a relay. Two additional relays are supplied in the kit. To use all 7 channels you will need to purchase three additional relays.

OPERATION

Each key chain transmitter has four buttons. Each button will activate its own independent channel when pressed. Also, an additional 3 channels can be activated by pressing button 1 and one of the other three buttons at the same time.

•Button 1 activates the driver’s door latch release on Channel 1. Button 2 activates the passenger’s door latch release on Channel 2. These channels provide 12 volts out which can feed up to 30 amps. These outputs will remain on for as long as the button is held, so the buttons should never be held in for more than a couple of seconds at a time to avoid burning out the door actuators.

•Button 3 can activate an external relay to power a trunk latch release or other function on the Channel 3 output. Button 4 can activate an external relay on the Channel 4 output.

•Pressing buttons 1 and 2 at the same time activates an external relay on Channel 5.

•Pressing buttons 1 and 3 at the same time activates an external relay on Channel 6.

•Pressing buttons 1 and 4 at the same time activates an external relay on Channel 7 for ½ sec.

When the ignition key is "ON", the remote system outputs for channels 1, 2, 3, and 4 are disabled. The remote outputs for channels 5, 6, and 7 will operate whether the ignition is on or off. This safety feature will not allow the doors to accidentally release while the vehicle is in motion. This disables the key chain transmitters only. The "override" switches will not be disabled.

The unit will stop operating for 30 seconds if any combination of buttons 1 or 2 are pushed eight (8) times in 30 seconds. This is to prevent overheating the door actuators.

The emergency release switch provides power directly to the door release actuator. The switch bypasses the remote system, so it will operate when the system is disabled by the ignition being on.

On vehicles with suicide doors, we recommend using a mechanical sliding dead bolt lock to ensure that there is no way for the doors to open while the vehicle is going down the road.
