Hi all,

I have a Viper 480xv alarm system fitted and I would like to find out how you connect up the turbo timer function?
I beileve this function to be the channel 3 output on the alarm which from the manual states...

"A 30 (60, 90) second timed output will send a signal for 30 seconds when Channel 3 is pressed.
This output can be turned off during the 30-second period by pressing Channel 3 again"

I believe this is what im after but do i connect this to a relay or what?

The wire i need to connect to something is this one...

"H1/9 WHITE/BLUE 200 mA (-) channel output 3
This wire provides a (-) 200 mA output whenever the transmitter button(s) controlling Channel 3 is pressed."

If anyone knows it would be much appreciated?

Many Thanks

 

you need the remote start module fitted to use that function, had it on my old 200sx

 

ummm..... thats what i had suspected!!

Cheers for the response Looks like i'm gunna have to order a remote start module!

 

no you dont

 

you can do it the old fashioned way with a relay but if you're going to go to the trouble of that why not have the convenience of remote start too??
most shops will charge about £80 to wire the relay in place when for £150 you can have it starting too

 

the turbo timer function can be wired in for about £50 by most security shops.

 

it is easy done with a 5 pin relay on the timed output of the alarm if you go this route make sure they wire the neg on the relay via the neg of the handbrake. this will make sure a that the car should not go anywhere and b if someone sees it running jumps in and puts the handbrake down the car will stop. this is one way we used to fit it in cliffords. just test it has been fitted this way before you take the car away from the dealer.

 

You cant wire the negative from the relay to the handbrake because it wouldn't work at all. And thats with both Clifford and Viper.

 

done it do u know gary roberts when he used to work for clifford he can confirm it. now driven marketing

 

relay 1 pin 30 perm live fused 1 amp
pin 85 perm live fused same as above
pin 86 neg timedout at 500 ma from alarm
pin 87 switched live out ro second relay pin 86
relay2 pin 85 handbrake
pin 30 perm live fused 30 amp
pin 87 output to ignition

sorry forgot to say clifford used to send all there problem installations to us to sort out

 

thats using 2 relays. Not 1 like you said previously

 

i did not want to give all secrets away but oh well why not i have done it with a single universal cl relay as well.
