  • Page 3 - heater, defroster or air conditioning. The RS-6 is an "add on" unit designed to be used in conjunction with another remote control unit such as a remote vehicle security system, a keyless entry device or a remote receiver unit.
  • Page 4 As previously stated, the RS-6 is an "add on" unit designed to be used in conjunction with host remote control unit such as a remote vehicle security system, keyless entry system or remote receiver unit.
  • Page 5 The RS-6 includes multiple built-in safety features. The unit will not engage if the gear shift selector is in a forward or reverse gear position, or if the brake pedal is being pressed. The unit will not engage if the hood or if a door is opened. If the engine is running by remote control, any of these conditions will cause the engine to stop running.

    The valet switch should be used to turn the RS-6 off when desirable, such as leaving the car for servicing, letting others drive the car or having it valet parked. This switch may also be used to deactivate the unit while the engine is running.
  • Page 7 RS-6's operation. Always securely mount this module in the vehicle's interior com- partment, never in the engine compartment. Ensure that moisture, vibration and tempera- ture extremes are minimized.
  • Page 8: Red Wire - (Constant Power)

    Red Wire - (Constant Power): The Red wire supplies constant Positive 12 Volts for the system's operation. This wire must be supplied sufficient amperage. CONNECTION: Connect this wire to Positive battery voltage. The most common source is the battery's Positive terminal. If the battery is selected as the power source, start at the battery and route the Red wire to the control module.
  • Page 9 a violated safety circuit, receives another activation input, or if the programmed run time expires, this output will stop supplying power, which stops the running engine. CONNECTION: This wire must be connected to the vehicle's Ignition #1 (also known as Primary Ignition) wire. The proper vehicle wire will measure Positive 12 Volts when the ignition key is in the "Run"...
  • Page 10 this wire is also found in the ignition switch wiring harness. In some cases the correct vehicle wire will show Positive 12 Volts in the "Run" and "Accessory" ignition key positions but in other vehicles it will show the voltage only in the "Run"...
  • Page 11: Wire Connector

    8-Wire Connector Yellow/Black Wire - (Positive Brake Input): The Yellow/Black wire must be connected. It is a critical safety feature which disables remote starting operations whenever the brake pedal is pressed. CONNECTION: Connect the Yellow/Black wire to the brake switch wire which shows Positive 12 Volts when the brake pedal is pressed.
  • Page 12 Sit in the driver's seat and be ready to apply the brake, if needed. Activate the RS-6 in each gear position. If this safety feature is operating properly, remote starting will only be possible if the gear selector is the "Park"...
  • Page 13 White Wire - (Positive Flashing Light Output): This is a Positive 12 Volt output to flash the vehicle's parking lights as a confirmation of the RS-6's operations. CONNECTION: Connect this wire to the vehicle's Positive 12 Volt parking light circuit, which can usually be found at the following locations: at the headlight switch, at the fuse/junction block, or in the rear body harness in the driver kick panel.

  • Page 16 The correct wire will show Positive 12 Volts when the headlight switch is in the "Parking Light" and "Head Light" positions. When such a wire is located, also test to ensure that it is non-rheostated: while metering the wire, operate the dash light dimmer control. The correct wire will show no change in voltage when the dimmer is operated.
  • Page 17 mounted securely in a position where it is fully depressed by the hood. Ensure that when the hood is released for opening that the pin switch extends, thus closing the circuit and grounding the Blue wire. The Safety Trigger Blue Wire is also an option for the installation of the valet switch. When this option is chosen, ground one valet switch and splice the other valet switch wire into the Safety Trigger Blue Wire.
  • Page 18 NOTES, BOTH WIRES: Typically, only one of the Green and Violet wires need connection. An open door will prevent activation of the RS-6; after the RS-6 has started the engine, opening a door will cause the engine to stop 30 seconds later.
  • Page 19 Orange Wire - (Optional Anti-Grind Feature): The Orange wire is a starter interrupt output, which is active whenever the RS-6 is activated. The optional Anti- Grind feature is convenient for persons forgetting not to turn the ignition key to the "start"...

  • Page 22 If the 2-pin plug's Blue wire receives a Negative pulse, then the Green wire, and then the Blue wire again, the RS-6 will be activated. In a typical installation using this method, using the existing keyless entry transmitter to lock, unlock, then lock the doors again would activate the remote starter.
  • Page 23 Negative pulses to backfeed to the keyless entry receiver. If so, diodes may used to isolate the switches from the keyless entry receiver so that the RS-6 is only activated from the receiver, and not the switches.
  • Page 24 The main operational differences are with the first method, using the White/ Blue Neutral Safety wire, if the switch is "on", the RS-6 will operate and if it is "off" the RS-6 will not operate. If the second method is chosen, the RS-6 will not operate if the switch is "on", and operate if it is "off".
  • Page 25: Programming Switches

    SWITCH #1: This switch must be set according to the vehicle's engine type: set to the "on" position for gasoline engines, or set to the "off" position for diesel engines. SWITCH #2: This switch sets the predetermined time that the RS-6 allows the engine to run.
  • Page 26 SWITCH #5: This switch sets the base timing for the RS-6's starter output. The "base setting" is the total time that the RS-6 engages the starter without regards to "engine running input" from the Orange/Black Tach Wire or the voltage sensing operation. The base timing with Switch #1 in the "on"...
