(+) Glow-Plu

input
In diesel mode, this positive input will monitor the
glow plug light: it will wait for up to 30 seconds until
the glow-plu
g
li

ht
g
oes out before allowin

the
module to proceed to crankin
g
the en
g
ine. Connect
to the side of the glow-plu
g
li
g
ht which is positive
when the light is on.
Note: the module will nevertheless proceed to
cranking the engine if the glow-plu
g
li
g
ht is still on
after the 30-sec. delay (25 sec. when the run time is
set to 30 min.).
A Note on the Diesel Glow-plug Indicator Light:
(Also known as the “wait-to-start li
g
ht”.
)
The purpose
of the glow-plug circuit on diesel vehicles is to pre-
heat the combustion chamber before the vehicle is
started.
When a remote starter is installed on a diesel
vehicle, the glow-plu
g
section of the i
g
nition circuit
must be activated and allowed to operate before the
vehicle is remote-started. For that purpose, the glow-
plu
g
input wire of the module must be connected to
the glow-plug indicator light of the vehicle.
Caution! The module will only accept positive glow-
plu
g
input si
g
nals, therefore ne
g
ative
g
low plu
g
s
should onl
y
be connected usin
g
rela
y
s to invert the
polarity.
A diode must be added between the negative glow-
plug trigger on the relay and the negative glow-plu
g
wire of the car. This is to prevent feedback effects on
the glow-plu
g
indicator li
g
ht on the instrument
cluster: the light on the dash would come on because
of the feedback, even though the circuit is off.
When the user remote-starts the vehicle:
• The module will power up the I
g
nition circuit and
wait to engage the starter motor while the glow-
plug indicator light is still on.
• The module will engage the starter motor as
soon as the glow-plug light (+) goes out.
o Minimum waiting time is 5 seconds.
o Maximum waiting time is 30 seconds.
If no glow-plug wire is found on the vehicle, the glow-
plu
g
input on the module ma
y
be “timed out”. The
module will power up the ignition and glow-plu
g
circuits and simply wait for the time-out before
starting:
