hey I'm just wondering if anyone here is an install guru and can tell me what these wires are for.

 

 

 

does the power for the siren come straight from a 12v source? thats what I'm thinking, its the battery back up siren.

 

and I'm not too sure what to wire the other 2 up to.

From memory, the IGN wire gets a feed from the key ON position. GND ARM is just for add ons you want to activate by relay, so in a standard install don't worry about it.

Not sure about the siren though.

the siren power is for the internal battery the siren has as its a battery back up siren, so it goes straight to a un switched 12+volt supply (mine goes directly to the positive battery terminal) .

 

This meaning that if someone decides to disconnect the battery as a way to over ride the alarm the sire has its own power to jeep it going till you disarm it. the one i have will apparantly go for 8 hrs :y:

all in and sweet except for the ignition wire. was poking around today but had no idea what to connect it to.

Tap it into the wire going from the barrel to the fuse board.

is the purpose of the ign wire to send a charge to the alarms brain just to let it know when the car has been started?? so i should just connect it to something that sends a charge when i crank it?

connect it to a wire that has +12V when the ignition is turned on

 

its there so that if someone manages to get inside and turn the key it will alarm.

 

essentially you coudl do it like you say to something that "sends a charge" when you try and start it, but that means that the alarm will only sound when they try and start it, so essentially they could push start it since turning on the ignition wont alarm it.

 

just connect it straight to your ignition barrell on the "IGN" terminal (solder it on with whatever is there). jsut use a multi meter and chech which one it is.

Not if you use the immobiliser to control the power to the coil :|

found a nice one today. all thats left is conencting the 4 immobilizer wires, i know where 1 set is going, gotta pick out another thing to shut off then ill be complete.

i used the immobiliser to cut off the power to the starter and the coil on my tonner. if i had an electric fuel pump on it i would have cut power to that too. Mine was a 3 point imobiliser (2 internal and 1 external relays) only using 2 at the moment.
