Installation Procedures Control Unit 1. Select a location under the dash that will allow you to use the tie wraps to securely fasten the control unit. 2. Mount the control unit as high as possible to ensure maximum security. 3. Do not mount the control unit near moving parts. 4. Avoid areas that are in the direct path of air blowing from the vents. 5. Route wires from this point, leaving slack for ease of service. RangeMaster™ Super Heterodyne Receiver Module 1.
LED Indicator 1. Discuss placement with the owner. 2. Choose a location that is visible from both sides of the vehicle. 3. Drill a ¼" hole. 4. Route the LED wires through the hole and press LED into place. 5. Route the LED wires to the control unit. 6. Plug the RED LED connector into the control unit RED plug. Valet Switch 1. Discuss placement with the owner. 2. Choose a location for the valet switch that is hidden, but convenient for the owner to access. 3. Drill a ¼" hole and mount the switch. 4.
Brake Lights (Mandatory) As a safety feature, the unit monitors the brake light to prevent an unauthorized driver from driving the car and to switch to I CAUTION: normal engine operating condition. For this reason, the YELLOW brake light input wire must be connected and the brake light must be in working condition or the remote start will not operate properly. 1. Turn the ignition key to the "ON" position, then press the brake pedal and make sure the brake light illuminates. 2.
Interior Light Illumination 1. Connect the WHITE wire to the vehicle door trigger wire. 2. If the door trigger is negative, connect the WHITE/BLACK wire to ground. 3. If the door trigger wire is positive switching, connect the WHITE/BLACK wire to a fused constant +12 volt source. Do note use the alarm RED wire. Channel 2 Accessory Output (Trunk Release) The DARK BLUE wire provides a 0.75 second ground output when the TRUNK button is pressed for 1-2 seconds while the alarm is disarmed only.
Factory Alarm Disarm (-) Output The GRAY/WHITE wire will provide a 0.75 second ground output when the START button is pressed. 1. Arm the vehicle factory alarm system. 2. Use a volt/ohmmeter to locate the one wire that will show ground only when the driver door key cylinder is held in the unlock position. NOTE: most factory alarm disarm wires will show 8-12 volts while armed. A few vehicle disarm wires will rest at a neutral state while armed.
1. Use a voltmeter to locate the wire(s) that show +12 volts while the ignition key is in the "ON," "CRANK" and "RUN" positions and 0 volts when the ignition key is in the "OFF" position. 2. Connect the 18 and 14 ga PINK wires to the vehicle ignition wire. 3. If the vehicle has a second ignition wire, connect the other 14 ga wire. Heater/AC The satellite relay module has one onboard 30-amp relay. Most vehicles have only one heater/AC wire.
Remote Engine Start Neutral Safety Switch Bulletin A neutral safety switch is a mechanism on almost every vehicle equipped with an automatic transmission. The neutral safety switch prevents the vehicle from starting while the gear shift selector is in "Reverse" or "Forward" gear positions. There are basically two types of neutral safety switches. The most common is the mechanical (separate) neutral safety switch. A small group of vehicles use a combined neutral safety switch.
NOTE: Use the following test procedure upon completion of every remote start regardless of the make and model of the vehicle Test Procedure Be sure there is at least 5 feet of unobstructed clearance at the front and rear of the vehicle. Make sure to alert anyone near I CAUTION: the vehicle you are testing that the vehicle may move forward slightly. 1. Apply the parking brake. 2. Turn the ignition key to the "ON" position and place the vehicle in "DRIVE." 3.

Tach Wire (RPM Monitoring) The PrimeStart is designed to monitor the vehicle RPM by connecting directly to the vehicle tachometer wire which is usually located at the distributor, ignition coil or diagnostic plug. On most vehicles, the tach wire is easily accessible. If the tach wire is not accessible, there are several alternative choices. Contact Prime Technical Support Department for alternate choices.
Siren 1. Choose a location in the engine compartment away from high heat engine components, moving parts and direct exposure to water. 2. Make sure the siren and siren wires cannot be seen or reached from below the vehicle. 3. Mount the siren with the two self tapping screws to a solid metal surface. 4. Connect the siren BLACK wire to the alarm module VIOLET wire. 5. Connect the siren RED wire to the alarm module RED wire.
Mandatory RPM Programming In order to remote start the vehicle engine and prevent over-grinding of the starter motor, the engine RPM must be programmed into the system memory. 1. Start the engine with the ignition key. Let the engine warm up until it reaches a normal idle RPM (typically 700-900 RPM). 2. Turn the ignition key "OFF." 3. Start the engine with the ignition key. 4. Within 10 seconds of starting the vehicle, begin flicking the valet switch on then off 15 times (counting the siren chirps).
Programmable Features All PrimeStart system and remote control programmable features are accomplished by turning the ignition key to the "ON" position or starting the engine and flicking the valet switch on and off a preset number of times. The siren will chirp for audible programming confirmation. The PrimeStart also allows the user to add new remote controls in one step, delete lost or stolen remote controls or rearrange the factory preset remote control functions. 1.
