MOUNTING THE

SYSTEM

Select a location for your alarm sys- tem in the engine compartment. For the best results, the location should meet the following conditions.

•All wires should reach their con- nections without going near mov- ing or hot engine parts.

Note: If necessary, you can extend the wires using hook-up wire and butt connectors. Use at least 18-gauge wire and an insu- lated wire connector to extend a wire.

•The mounting location should be solid and have no mechanisms or moving parts behind it.

•For the best remote range, the mounting location should allow the system’s yellow antenna wire to hang straight down. Do not cut or extend the wire — its length is optimized for best operation.

•For the loudest siren, the siren horn should point down toward the pavement.

•The alarm should not point straight up, as moisture could col- lect in the siren horn and damage the system.

•To prevent water damage, the system should not be mounted in a wheel well, directly behind the radiator grill, or close to the ground.

Once you select a location, follow these steps to mount the system.

1.Hold the system against the selected location and mark the locations of the three mounting holes.

2.Drill 1/8-inch holes at the marked locations, taking care not to drill into anything behind the mount- ing surface.

3.Secure the system to the surface using the supplied screws.

Note: For the best shock-sensor operation, use all three screws.
