Default How to wire actuators to Compustar?



For this model of compustar, I do not need relays right?

So I will use Method 3:

Yellow/Black + Green/Black are connected, but the diagram cuts out. Where does it goto?

Yellow + Green are connected, would it be powerful enough to do 2 actuators?

Yellow/White + Green/White are connected to fused 12V.

And another thing, my R500 will not deactivate passive. It responds to the command but still turns on passive.

Thanks a lot HT; my deck, alarm, amp/sub are installed cause of you guys!

Do you already have power door locks in the car or are you adding them?

If you already have them, and the car is a Honda/Acura, "Method 1" is the one to use.

If you are adding power door locks, [actuators in each door] then "Method 3" is the one to use.
Yellow/black and green/black go to ground.
Yes it will do 2 actuators.

Either way relays are not needed, [they are built into the alarm brain]

I have contacted Compustars head office to see if they have an answer to the passive arming problem, I will let you know as soon as they get back to me. 94

Sorry for the somewhat threadjack...

If I wanted to wire a switch to control the lock/unlock of the actuators, that are wired using Method 3 above, where would I make the cuts?

You would have to install a DPDT switch on the 2 wires going to the actuator, or if you want to keep it low current and simple, install a set of off board relays for the actuators, like this... http://www.the12volt.com/doorlocks/page3.asp#arp change the wiring to "Method one" then all you need is a SPDT momentary low current switch where the common on the switch would go to ground and the other 2 wires would also go to the lock and unlock on the off board relays along with the lock and unlock from the alarm using "Method one", [neg. (-) trigger] . 94
