FEATURES

Your RS-3000 Auto Security Alarm

System’s voice alert warns away po-

tential thieves and alerts you to trou-

ble in a clear, loud, male voice and

shouts out a panic alert in a female

voice. It also includes advanced fea-

tures that help protect your vehicle

from theft, yet you can install it in less

than an hour. The two convenient

key-chain transmitters lets you arm

and disarm the system, sound a pan-

ic alert, or activate the car finder fea-

ture when you are away from your

vehicle.

Your RS-3000 includes these fea-

tures.

Note: The following features marked

with an asterisk (*) might qualify you

for a discount on your vehicle insur-

ance premium. Show your insurance

agent the supplied certificate.

Your system requires one 9-volt alka-

line battery to maintain operation if

the main power lead is disconnected.

Warning: Your alarm system’s alerts

are painfully loud. Take care during

installation to keep your head away

from the system once you connect

power.

FCC INFORMATION

Your alarm system might cause TV or

radio interference even when it is op-

erating properly. To determine wheth-

er your system is causing the

interference, move your vehicle out of

the area. If the interference goes

away, your alarm system was caus-

ing the interference. Try to eliminate

the interference by:

• Keeping your system away from

the receiver

• Contacting your local Ra-

dioShack store for help

If you cannot eliminate the interfer-

ence, the FCC requires that you stop

using your alarm system.

INSTALLATION ORDER

You can install your system in just 6

easy steps:

1. Connect the starter disable mod-

ule.

2. Connect the system to power.

3. Train the remote controls.

4. Install the backup battery.

5. Mount the system.

6. Install the status indicator.

We recommend you get a wiring dia-

gram for your vehicle before you be-

gin, so you can easily find your

vehicle’s starter solenoid wire. Wiring

diagrams are available from your ve-

hicle’s dealer or from the Auto Securi-

ty Helpline at 1-800-598-2527.

You also need a 12-volt test lamp or

DC voltmeter and a wire-piercing

probe adapter (such as RadioShack

Cat. No. 278-715) to ensure proper

installation.

CONNECTING THE

STARTER DISABLE

MODULE

The starter disable module interrupts

power to your vehicle’s starter sole-

noid so the vehicle does not start

when the system is armed. Follow

these steps to connect the module.

1. Using the starter solenoid’s color-

coded wires as a guide, locate

the wire that goes from your vehi-

cle’s ignition (key) switch to the

solenoid. This wire is most easily

found where the wires connect to

the ignition switch near the steer-

ing column.

2. Connect the negative (usually

black) lead from a 12-volt test

lamp or DC voltmeter to a metal

vehicle body part.

3. Connect the wire-piercing probe

to the positive lead and press the

pin tip through the solenoid wire’s

insulation and into the wire itself.

4. Start your vehicle. The test light

should light or the meter should

indicate voltage only while the

engine is cranking (not while it

is stopped or running).

If the test fails, repeat Steps 2–4

using a different wire until you

find the correct one.

49-830.fm Page 6 Thursday, August 19, 1999 10:37 AM

5. Turn off the engine. Then cut the

wire you located in Steps 2–4 at a

point where there are several

inches of wire on each side of the

cut.

Note: After you cut this wire, you

are unable to start your vehicle

until you complete the installa-

tion.

6. Use one of the supplied yellow

wire tap-ins to connect the starter

disable module’s white wire to the

wire going to the solenoid.

7. Use the other yellow wire tap-in

to connect the starter disable

module’s red wire to the wire

going to the ignition switch.

8. Route the main system’s orange

wire through an existing hole in

the firewall, or drill a 1/4-inch hole

in the firewall, taking care not to

damage anything on the other

side of the firewall. Then plug the

starter disable module’s orange

wire into the main system’s

orange wire.

Note: If you drill a hole, use a

rubber grommet to protect the

wire from abrasion.

9. Use a wire tie to secure the

starter disable module under the

dashboard.

CONNECTING THE

SYSTEM TO POWER

Warning: We recommend that you

muffle the alarm’s speaker before you

connect the system to power. The

alarm is extremely loud.

Follow these steps to connect the

system to power.

1. Connect the system’s red lead to

your vehicle battery’s positive (+)

terminal.

2. Connect the system’s black lead

to a metal part of the vehicle’s

body that is not insulated from the

main chassis by a plastic part, or

to the battery’s negative (–) termi-

nal. The system says “Thank

you!”

ACTIVATING THE

REMOTE CONTROLS

You must train the system to respond

to the supplied remote controls.To ac-

tivate both remote controls, immedi-

ately after applying power, press ARM

TALK on one of the remotes. The sys-

tem says “System Armed.” Press

ARM TALK again to disarm the sys-

tem. The system says “System Dis-

armed.”

If the system loses power and the

backup battery is dead or not in-

stalled, the system stops responding

to both remotes. Simply follow this

procedure again to reactivate them.

Both of the supplied system remotes

share the same remote code, but

your system can learn two remote

codes if you want to add another re-

mote control (Cat. No. 49-845). To

activate a second remote control

code, be sure the system is dis-

armed, then hold down ARM TALK for

10 seconds. The system says “Thank

You.” Press any button on the new re-

mote to activate it.

INSTALLING THE

BACKUP BATTERY

A 9-volt battery (not supplied) powers

your alarm if its main power is cut.

Follow these steps to install the bat-

tery.

Note: For the best protection and

longest life, we recommend you use

an alkaline battery, such as Ra-

dioShack Cat. No. 23-553.

1. Slide off the compartment cover.

2. Snap a 9-volt battery onto the

battery contacts.

3. Place the battery in the compart-

ment.

4. Replace the compartment cover.

A new battery powers the alarm for

about 21 hours with no alert, or 15

minutes of continuous alert. The

alarm’s volume is reduced when it is

operating from the battery.

We recommend you replace the bat-

tery every 6 months, even if it has not

been used to power the system.

MOUNTING THE

SYSTEM

Select a location for your alarm sys-

tem in the engine compartment. For

the best results, the location should

meet the following conditions.

• All wires should reach their con-

nections without going near mov-

ing or hot engine parts.

Note: If necessary, you can

extend the wires using hook-up

wire and butt connectors. Use at

least 18-gauge wire and an insu-

lated wire connector to extend a

wire.

• The mounting location should be

solid and have no mechanisms or

moving parts on its other side.

• For the best remote range, the

mounting location should allow

the system’s yellow antenna wire

to hang straight down. Do not cut

or extend the wire — its length is

optimized for best operation.

• For the loudest siren, the siren

horn should point down toward

the pavement.

• The alarm should not point

straight up, as moisture could col-

lect in the siren horn and damage

the system.

• To prevent water damage, the

system should not be mounted in

a wheel well, directly behind the

radiator grill, or close to the

ground.

Once you select a location, follow

these steps to mount the system.

1. Hold the system against the

selected location and mark the

locations of the three mounting

holes.

2. Drill 1/8-inch holes at the marked

locations, taking care not to drill

into anything behind the mount-

ing surface.

3. Secure the system to the surface

using the supplied screws.

Note: For the best shock-sensor

operation use all three screws.

INSTALLING THE

STATUS INDICATOR

The status indicator goes inside your

vehicle’s passenger compartment. Ei-

ther drill a mounting hole in a dash

panel or use the supplied mounting

bracket to hold the indicator. Follow

these steps to install the indicator.

1. Locate an existing wire harness

that goes through your vehicle’s

firewall, and push the indicator

into the passenger compartment

through the existing hole.

If you cannot find an existing wire

harness, drill a 1/4-inch hole

through the firewall into the pas-

senger compartment. Then push

the indicator through the hole.

Cautions:

• Before drilling, be sure you can

reach the other side of the

hole.

• Do not drill into any mecha-

nism on the other side of the

firewall.

• Protect the wire by placing a

rubber grommet (not supplied)

in the hole, and route the wire

through the grommet.

2. If you are using the supplied

mounting bracket, use dena-

tured alcohol to clean the mount-

ing surface and let the surface

dry completely. Peel the backing

off of one side of the double-

sided tape and press it onto the

bottom of the bracket. Then peel

off the adhesive backing from the

other side of the tape and press

the bracket onto the dash.

If you are mounting the indica-

tor in the dash, drill a 5/16-inch

hole at the desired location.

3. Press the supplied grommet into

the mounting hole from the front

of the surface.

4. Press the indicator into the grom-

met from the back of the surface.

5. Plug the indicator’s harness into

the matching harness on the sys-

tem.

6. Use the supplied wire tie to

secure the wire out of the way.

7. If you drilled a hole in the firewall,

use silicon sealant (not supplied)

to waterproof the hole.
