TACHLESS MODE Your system includes a Tach-less mode that actively monitors and compares the vehicle’s resting voltage versus its running voltage each time a remote start is performed; [instead of the conventional tach-pulse method]. Smart Tachless mode adjusts automatically to maintain optimum efficiency over the life of the installation. IMPORTANT NOTES: (1) SETUP may be required for the Tachless Mode.
TACH MODE & TACH FINDER FEATURE Tach Reference Mode provides reliable remote starting performance though engine speed sensing. When using Tach Reference Mode, the WHITE/RED wire is used for Tach signal [Engine RPM] input. Most modern engines include various points where the Engine Speed [Tach] or A/C signal may be obtained. Tach Signal examples: Negative (-) side of ignition coil, at the Distributor or Ignition Control Module, Coil Pack, Engine Computer, or Crankshaft Sensor.
TIMED CRANK MODE As an alternative to Tach or Tachless mode, “Timed Crank” provides an additional method of starting the vehicle without locating an exact tach wire. It uses a timed cranking output combined with the use of the Red/White tach wire as an engine ON/OFF monitor. The Red/White Tach wire MUST STILL be used with this mode.
DIESEL GLOW PLUG DELAY This feature provides a solution for diesel vehicles without having to connect to the Glow Plug-“Wait to Start Circuit” input. This may be due to a variety of reasons for example: If your vehicle does not have a viable “Wait to Start Circuit” or you cannot locate and identify the circuit. You can choose from a selection of “pre-cranking” delay times.
