TACH PROGRAMMING

(MANDATORY)

*NOTE THIS IS THE FIRST THING YOU SHOULD DO AFTER ALL WIRE CONNECTIONS HAVE BEEN MADE. At least one

transmitter must be programmed inorder to proceed with TACH programming. If transmitter is not programmed proceed to

Transmitter programming (page #4)  then return to complete tach programming first before changing any function settings or

adding additional transmitters

.

To enter Tach Programming:

A) 

Open the hood.  - Violet Hood switch wire (J2-Pin#14)  must see a ground.

B) 

Start the vehicle manually using the key and let the engine reach a normal idle.

C) 

Press and hold the brake, then press and hold (START) button # II  for 4 seconds or until

the parking lights go off.  Park lights should come back on to indicate system has

detected proper tach wire connection. * Continue to hold the brake down.

D) 

Turn the ignition key off but DO NOT RELEASE THE BRAKE. Parking lights will flash 2

time fast then 2 time slowly.

* If vehicle over or under cranks follow Tach Adjustment instructions below.

**

 If parking lights flash 8 times then vacuum mode was selected (Bank II, Function 6, Option

2) and the system will exit tach programming.

TACH ADJUSTMENT

: If engine overcranks or undercranks, follow steps below:

1)  With the hood open and the Ignition key in the ON position, Press and hold the brake, then

press and hold button II (Start) for 4 seconds or until the parking lights go off.

2) Turn ignition off but do not release the brake. Parking lights will flash 1 to 7 times

according to actual programmed tach setting.

3) Press and release (LOCK) button I  between 1 and 7 times to select the actual tach setting

you wish to program.  Eg. Press Lock 3 times to select a tach setting of 3.

4) To save new setting Press and release the (START) button II  to save that setting. The

parking lights will flash 1 to 7 times according to the new tach setting. 1 second later, the

parking lights will flash 2 times fast then 2 times slowy to confirm and exit tach programming.

Note: To cancel setting, release brake or  close hood before saving the entered setting.

ENGINE OVER-CRANK  PROTECTION

  :

The ENGINE OVER-CRANK PROTECTION feature will prevent the remote starter from operating if

the engine cranks the entire crank time or if the system does not detect a tach pulse during the first

crank cycle.  The diagnostic for this condition is 3 fast flashes when a remote start attempt is

made.

If the unit goes into ENGINE PROTECTION OVERRIDE, verify that the tach wire is properly

connected and start the engine using the key and let the motor run for a few minutes.  Stop

the engine and retry using the remote transmitter.  If the unit still goes in Tach Protect, redo

the Automatic Tach Setting and/or Tach Adjustment programming and/or try a different tach

wire.

DIESEL ENGINE INSTALLATION

When CS400 is programmed for Diesel Time Out (BANK II, FUNCTION 1, OPTION 2) the system

initiates a Glow-Plug Time-Out phase which powers up the ignition when the remote start button is

pressed, then waits for a period of 12 seconds before attempting to (crank) start the engine.

If CS400 is programmed for Diesel Glow Plug Monitoring, (BANK II, FUNCTION 1, OPTION 3) the

system will monitor the glow-plug light using J2-PIN #12 (Brake Input) and crank the engine as soon

as the glow plug light goes out.
