IMPORTANT: All remotes must be coded to the control module prior to performing any and all operations. **This is a time sensitive process**
STEP 1: Activate programming mode by manually turning the vehicle's key between the Ign On and Off (or the Acc & On positions) 5 times within 7 seconds. The vehicle's parking lights will flash once with the successful completion of this step. (Note: this step also places the control module into Valet Mode if there are no remotes coded)
STEP 2: Within a 2 second period after the 5th ignition cycle tap the "LOCK" button on the remotes for 0.5 seconds. The parking lights will flash once to confirm the transmitter has been coded. Then tap "LOCK" button 1 (half second) on any other remote you want to program.
Exiting Programming: Programming is a timed sequence. After 2 seconds the parking lights will flash twice signaling the end of programming mode.
Programming Multiple Remotes: After the confirmation flash given in STEP 2, code additional remotes by tapping Button I on two way remotes or the Lock button on one way remotes. The parking lights will flash once confirming each additional remote. All systems can recognize up to three remotes. Note: If you do not program any remotes and enter this sequence it will put the system into Valet Mode. Only the keyless entry will work in Valet Mode. To exit Valet Mode just program remote(s).
Remote programming procedure: PTS (Push to Start vehicles) application
STEP 1: Set the vehicle to the ignition or "ON" position
STEP 2: Within 5 seconds push to the "OFF" position
STEP 3: Within 5 seconds set the vehicle to the ignition or "ON" position (do not start)
STEP 4: Step on the foot brake 3 times within 5 seconds *parking lights will flash 1 time to indicate remote programming is enabled
STEP 5: Tap (a quick 0.5 second press and release) the lock button on the remote * the parking lights will flash 1 time indicating the remote code has been accepted

Common Procedures

CM7300

Jumper Settings
Caution: Jumper settings affect the polarity and use of certain outputs. If these jumpers are used incorrectly, damage to the vehicle and/or control module may occur.
Jumper 1 (Door Trigger Polarity) Determines the polarity of the door trigger input wire (red/white). In the default position the door trigger registers negative (-) triggers. To change to a positive (+) trigger, move the jumper.
Jumper 2 (Parking Light to Trunk Output) Determines the output type (not polarity) of the green/white wire on connector one (CN1). In the default position it provides a positive (+) parking light output. To change to a positive (+) trunk output move the jumper. A negative (-) parking light output is found on connector three (CN3) and a negative (-) trunk output is found on connector four (CN4).
Setting Auxiliary Outputs on Connector 4 You Must Have the OP500 Option Programmer For your convenience certain wires are defaulted to Auxiliaries. However to set specific auxiliary outputs on the control module, you must choose two odd pin wires on the black 18 pin connector that you are not using. For example we will use POC 8 and 9.
STEP 1: Plug in OP500 and use the Right or Left Arrow Button to scroll through the menu to POC 8 and POC 9 on LCD Line 1. STEP 2: Use the Up or Down Arrow Button to change the lower number on LCD Line 2 to 10 Auxiliary 1 or 11- Auxiliary 2. STEP 3: Scroll up the menu to Option 4-01 and 4-02 and set the options. Please see the Option Table for details. STEP 4: The control modules have a secure auxiliary option 4-05. This requires you to tap button 4 before you tap button 2 for Aux 1 or button 3 for Aux 2. On 1-Way remotes you must hold the Trunk and Key/Start buttons for 2.5 seconds then tap the Trunk button for Aux 1 or the Key/Start button for Aux 2.
STEP 5: If you need to change the time settings of the outputs go to AU1 or AU2 on the OP500. LCD Line 2 is the timed output. STEP 6: Hold the "W" Write button for 3 seconds to set all the options.

Version Diagnostics All the new control modules come with the ability to check which firmware is on the module. This is accomplished by turning the ignition on. Then with 2 Way remotes you must hold buttons 1 and 4 together for 2.5 seconds. With the 1 Way remotes, you must hold the Lock and Key/Start buttons together for 2.5 seconds.
Valet Mode
Valet Mode disables all system features except for the keyless entry. Use Valet when servicing or loaning your vehicle to others to avoid any inconvenience or mishap when operating the vehicle. There are no visual indicators when the security system is in Valet Mode. There is a parking light indication when remote starting in Valet Mode. (3 flashes followed by 10 flashes). Also when in Valet Mode, the keyless entry feature will still operate.
The system can be put into valet mode one of 3 ways: 1. While holding the foot brake (12V+ brake input), cycle the key to the Ignition or `On' position and then back to
the `Off ' position 5 times within 10 seconds. The parking lights will flash once indicating that the system has entered Valet Mode.
2. Turn the key to the Ignition or `On' position then using a 4-button remote press and release the lock and trunk buttons together simultaneously for a half second. The vehicle parking lights will flash 1 time to indicate the system has successfully entered valet mode.
**NEW** 3. With (PTS option) the user may enter valet mode by performing the remote programming procedure and
make sure there are no remotes transmitting.
Step 1: Set the vehicle to the ignition or "ON" position.
Step 2: Within 5 seconds push to the off position.
Step 3: Within 5 seconds set the vehicle to the ignition or "ON" position. (do not start)
Step 4: Step on the foot brake 3 times within 5 seconds *parking lights will flash 1 time to indicate programming is enabled.
Step 5: After 10 seconds the parking light will flash 2 times, indicating the system has entered valet mode

Page 13

CM7300 Install Guide

Alarm System

The System can be taken out of Valet mode by one of the following procedures:
1. No Remote: If there are no remotes or there are no remotes available you can exit Valet Mode by turning
the key to the ignition or `On' position then press and release the foot brake pedal (or apply 12 volts DC to the foot brake input wire Light Blue/White)10 times within 10 seconds. This procedure will only exit Valet Mode it will not enter Valet Mode. The vehicles parking lights should flash 2 times to indicate the system has exited valet mode
2. With Remote: While within remote range of the vehicle, using a 4 button remote, press and release the lock and trunk button together simultaneously for a half second. The vehicle's parking lights will flash 2 times to indicate the system has exited Valet Mode.
Blade Cartridge Slot and Connector The slot gives you the ability to use the Blade-AL and Blade-TB modules from Firstech and ADS. With these modules you can virtually eliminate all wire connections between your control module and bypass module. You only need to connect the main ignition harness and your required wires on the 20 pin Blade connector. For more information on how to program and wire the Blade please visit www.idatalink.com for the specific wiring diagram for that vehicle.
Blade system includes: 1. Blade-AL or Blade-TB (NOTE: These modules are blank and must be flashed on your computer.) 2. 20 Pin locking wiring harness 3. 3 Pin harness used in some installs
IMPORTANT: Install diagrams are not included and must be downloaded from www.idatalink.com/ Compustar. When flashing the Blade you can use the Y-Cable OP500 end and not CM4 Series end. ADS and Firstech recommends using the 4 pin RS232 cable to avoid confusion. Cartridge must be removed to flash the control module firmware.
WARNING: Manufacturer or seller assumes no responsibility for any injuries and/or damages caused by improper care of the product such as decomposition, conversion, and transform done by a user voluntarily. WARNING: There should be no wiring routed around any pedals which can cause a driving hazard.

Alarm System
www.firstechonline.com | www.compustar.com

FO2 - Passive locking with passive arming: This option, when passive is activated will send lock/arm outputs to lock/arm the CM7 30 seconds after the last zone is closed. The CM7 will flash the parking lights and chirp the siren 1 time every 10 seconds 3 times total as a warning that it is going to Arm/lock itself.
FO3 - No lock output with Passive arm: This option, when passive arm feature is activated, will NOT send the lock command one the CM7 has passively armed itself. The CM7 will flash the parking lights and chirp the siren 1 time every 10 seconds 3 times total as a warning that it is going to arm itself.
1-09 Ignition Controlled Locks: (Drive Lock) When FO 2-4 are selected, the user can activate the "drive lock" or ignition controlled door locking feature using a Firstech remote or Drone. (Please check specific remote user 's manual for steps to activate Drive lock.) FO1 - Off: (default) FO2 - On: This option (when activated with the Firstech remote or Drone) will provide a door lock output when the foot brake is applied or 12 Volts is applied to the foot brake input on the CM7. The CM7 will also provide a door unlock output as soon as the key is turned off or 12v ignition is removed from the CM7300. FO3 - RPM locking: (Tach input is required for this option to operate properly.) This option will provide a door lock output at approximately 20% RPM over the programmed idle tach output. (i.e. program tach at 1000 rpm and doors will lock at a sustained 1200 rpm when moving.) The CM7 will also provide a door unlock output as soon as the key is turned off or 12v ignition is removed from the CM7300.
1-10 Auto Relock: FO1 - Off: (default) FO2 - 30 seconds: This option allows the CM7300 to automatically relock/rearm 30 seconds after CM7300 has been disarmed/unlocked. This will re-lock if no zones have not been opened. FO3 - 60 seconds: This option allows the CM7 to automatically relock/rearm 60 seconds after CM7 has been disarmed/unlocked. This will re-lock if no zones have not been opened. FO4 - 5 minutes: This option allows the CM7 to automatically relock/rearm 5 minutes after it has been disarmed/unlocked. This will re-lock if no zones have not been opened.
1-11 Ignition / Accessory Upon Unlock: FO1 - Off: (default) FO2 - Ignition (-) pulse output with disarm: This option will pulse (-) ignition wires upon unlock/disarm. Most new Ford vehicles require ignition pulsed + immobilizer with unlock to disarm the factory alarm. FO3 - Accessory (-) pulse output with disarm: This option will pulse (-) accessory wires upon unlock/disarm. FO4 - Ignition (-) pulse and Accessory (-) pulse output with disarm: This option will pulse (-) ignition and (-) accessory wires upon unlock/disarm.

1-12 OEM Remote Arm/Disarm Update for 2 Way Firstech Remotes: This feature disables the arming, disarming, and remote start confirmation updates to any Firstech 2 Way LCD when using an OEM remote. FO1 - On: (default) FO2 - Off: This feature disables the page back update to the 2 Way Firstech remote when your interface module provides OEM remote status updates to the CM7.
1-13 Double pulse disarm: This feature enables the FAD output. It will pulse 2 times with a single disarm command. FO1 - Off (default): Standard single pulse output on the FAD wire. (orange/white by default) FO2 - On: This feature will generate a double pulse output on the FAD wire. (orange/white by default)
1-14 EZGO: This feature covers the EZGO options. (Please refer to the EZGO section of this manual for specific operation instructions and antenna mounting locations) FO1 - Off (default): No EZGO functions are enabled by default. FO2 - FTX EZGO "always unlock": This option will enable the EZGO proximity unlock feature after activating with the EZ100-R remote. (Refer to the EZGO section of this manual for specific operating instructions) The CM7 will always send the unlock/disarm output when the EZ100-R enters the proximity field regardless of the current state of the CM7. (i.e. armed/locked-disarmed/unlocked). Once the EZ100-R leaves the proximity field, it will be set to send the unlock/disarm output as soon as it re-enters. Note: because the EZGO antenna is always searching for the EZ100-R, it will produce more current draw than the standard EZGO unlock option 3. FO3 - EZGO "unlock only": (The CM7300 must be in an armed state for this option) This option will enable the EZGO proximity unlock/disarm feature after activating with the EZ100-R remote. (Refer to the EZGO section of this manual for specific operating instructions). The CM7 will be ready to send the disarm/unlock command 12-15 seconds after the system has been armed using a Firstech remote or accessory (RPS, Drone, OEM remote input). Once the EZGO system is ready and the remote enters the proximity field, it will unlock/disarm. FO4 - EZGO lock and unlock: This option will enable the EZGO proximity lock/arm and unlock/ disarm features once it's activated using the remote. (Refer to the EZGO section of this manual for specific operation instructions.) The EZGO will arm/lock approx. 12-15 seconds after the RFID remote leaves proximity of the EZGO antenna and all zones being monitored (including any key sense or ignition inputs) are closed or off. As soon as the CM7 is armed/locked the proximity unlock is active and will unlock/disarm as the EZGO remote enters the proximity field. Note: because the EZGO antenna is always searching for the EZ100-R, it will produce more current draw than the standard EZGO unlock option 3
1-15 Trunk Output Timing: This feature determines the length of output time for the (+) or (-) analog trunk release wire. FO1 - 1 Second: (default) Will provide a 250mA (-) negative output for 1 second on any POC that is programmed for trunk release or setting 28. FO2 - 2 Seconds: FO1- 1 Second: (default) will provide a 250mA (-) negative output for 2 seconds on any POC that is programmed for trunk release or setting 28.

FO4 - 4 Seconds: FO1- 1 Second: (default) will provide a 250mA (-) negative output for 4 seconds on any POC that is programmed for trunk release or setting 28.
1-16 Siren/Horn mute control: this feature allows the installer to enable or disable the siren/horn mute control. The mute feature will silence the siren or horn during arm, disarm, and start from the Firstech remote. FO1 - Disabled: (default) will not allow for the Firstech remote to mute the siren or horn output. FO2 - Enabled: this option will allow the end user to activate or deactivate the arm/disarm chirps using a Firstech 4/5 button remote or DroneMobile. FO3 Silent ALARM: This option will allow the user to activate or deactivate the arm/disarm chirps using a Firstech 4/5 button remote or Drone Mobile. In this mode the alarm once sounded will be "silent" with no visible or audible notifications from the vehicle. There will be notifications sent to the DroneMobile or 2Way LCD remotes that may be in range. This will allow the user to be notified of the alarm sounding without alerting anyone around the vehicle.
2-15 PTS (Push To Start) vehicle Remote Programming: This feature has been integrated with traditional remote programming sequence and is available to be used at any time.
3-02 Confirmation chirps: This feature will allow the user to select a shorter siren output time to simulate a quieter arm/disarm/start output. FO1 - 30mS: This is a 30 milliseconds siren output with arm, disarm, and start confirmation chirps. It will produce a "medium" volume sound. (Softer than the standard 60mS output) FO2 - 15mS: This is a 15-millisecond siren output with arm, disarm, and start confirmation chirps. It will produce a "short" or quiet volume of sound. (Significantly softer than the standard 60mS output) FO3 - 60mS: This is a standard 60 millisecond siren output with arm, disarm, and start confirmation chirps.
3-03 Dome Light Delay: This option is used when connecting the door trigger input to the vehicles dome light circuit. It delays the door trigger input to prevent the door open icon displaying on 2 Way remotes upon lock/arm. FO1- Off: (default) FO2 - 5 seconds: This option will delay the door trigger input for 5 seconds when arming the system to account for any vehicle dome light output delay. FO3 - 45seconds: This option will delay the door trigger input for 45 seconds when arming the system to account for any vehicle dome light output delay. FO4 - Auto: This option will allow the CM7 to wait for a change in polarity on the door input circuit, after the system has been armed, to monitor for security.
3-04 Starter-Kill: This option determines the operation of the GWA wire (POC 1 CN4 Pin 1 Blue/white) FO1 - Anti grind + Starter interrupt: this option will allow for POC 1 to provide a negative output when the system is armed or remote started. This will enable a starter interrupt to prevent the vehicle from being started with the key when in an armed state.

Page 28

CM7300 Install Guide

Alarm System
www.firstechonline.com | www.compustar.com

FO2 - Anti Grind only: This option will allow POC 1 to provide a negative output when the system is armed. This will enable starter interrupt and prevent the user from grinding the starter during the takeover procedure. FO3 - Anti Grind and passive starter interrupt: This option will allow for POC 1 to provide a negative output when the system is remote started or the passive starter interrupt is engaged. This will prevent the user from grinding the starter during the takeover procedure and enable starter interrupt 45 seconds after the ignition has been turned off.
3-05 Anti-Jacking: Note: this feature requires the starter-kill relay to be wired to the ignition vs. the starter wire. This feature will allow the CM7 to interrupt the ignition wire if panic mode is activated while the vehicle is running with the key. FO1 - Off: (default) anti-carjacking feature is not enabled and the starter interrupt will operate based on feature 3-04 option setting. FO2 - On: this option will enable the anti-carjacking feature.

Example 2: 4 individual (-) door inputs could be connected (with no diodes) eliminating the need for diodes to isolate the door pins from each other when connecting multiple door pins to 1 door input on the CM

Example 3: Allow for a N/C hood pin or Trunk pin input that doesn't require a module, wire cutting, diodes, resistors, or relays
Example 4: will make the CM an install more efficient by allowing for unused inputs to be reprogrammed for other functional inputs
Example 5: Allow additional sensors to be added as needed

Option Programming

CM7300

Option Programming Using the OP500 (programmer)

The OP500 can be used to program any available option. It is required to program options in Special Option Groups 1 and 2.
STEP 1: Make sure system is unlocked/disarmed. Using the blue or black 6 pin connector on the top of the OP500, connect it to the control module via the antenna wire. (Use the included extension cable if necessary.) Once connected, the OP500 will power up as long as the main ignition harness to the controller has been connected properly.

STEP 2: To change the option number you wish to program, use the left and right arrow keys on the OP500. It will scroll through the options available in menu 1 and then move to menu 2, then 3 and 4. Use the up and down arrow buttons on the OP500 to adjust the option settings; "1" is the default setting, and "2", "3", and "4" are the optional settings.

At the end of menu 4, if diesel mode or auxiliary setting functions were enabled or if any of the auxiliary outputs were set to "Program", the duration of these settings can now be adjusted.

Following the auxiliary and diesel settings (if selected), the POC options will be displayed on the OP500. The POCs can be set between 0 (default) and 19. All are only available on the CM5000.

STEP 3: When finished with the adjustment of the various option settings, press and hold the "W" (write) button until the OP500 chirps, which is approximately 2.5 seconds. This will write the settings to the control module. Wait until the module displays "Success" before disconnecting it from the antenna cable.

To reset the options, hold the "R" (reset) button and the "W" (write) button for 2.5 seconds. Release then write the reset, hold the "W" button until the OP500 chirps, which is approximately 2.5 seconds.

Special Option Groups cannot be programmed with a remote the OP500 must be used.
STEP 1: Select the option menu that contains the desired programming option.
STEP 2: Scroll through menu allowing for 1 parking light flash and/or siren chirp per step.
STEP 3: Once finished scrolling through the menu wait for the parking lights and/or siren chirp to confirm the option number. i.e. option 2-04 will flash 4 times. Then use one of the table selections to select the option corresponding to your desired setting.
Resetting to Factory Defaults: To reset the options in a particular menu group, enter the menu shown in the above tables. To reset options with a 2 Way remote tap button 3 three times. To reset options with a 1 Way remote tap the Key/Start button 3 times. Wait for the siren to chip and parking lights to flash between each tap. After the third tap, the option menu will reset and the siren will chirp three times. This must be done for each option group that needs to be reset.

Frequently Asked Questions

CM7300

I have everything hooked up and the system will not respond. A: The remotes need to be programmed. Review the "Common Procedure" section of this manual.
I am trying to program the control module with the OP500 Option Programmer and it flashes "ER 01" when I plug it in to the antenna cable. What should I do? A: Make sure that the system is not locked/armed. The last thing to check is the antenna cable or antenna extension cable make sure this is not damaged. If you need to, try another cable. When the OP500 is working properly, it will read "success good." You no longer need to program the remotes before the OP500 will sync.
I need a ground when armed wire, does the control module have one? A: You can use the ground when armed wire on CN3 that goes to the starter kill relay. You must cut this wire and place a diode in line so that when the ignition on the other side of the relay goes to ground, it won't back feed to your accessory. Install the stripe side of the diode facing the control module.
On the brain, how do I set the auxiliaries? A: Auxiliary 1 through 5 are not defaulted on with the CM7300 so you must have an Option Programmer (OP500) to change POC the outputs to provide an output of your choice. Secure auxiliary (option 4-05) will prevent these outputs from triggering without doing query first. Please review the "Special Option Group" programming section of this manual for more details.

The vehicle will lock and unlock but not flash the parking lights. A: The system is in valet mode. Tap buttons (I) + (III) for 0.5 second or Lock and Trunk Release buttons for a half second.
Whenever I try to arm the vehicle, it chirps the siren 3 times and will not arm. A: Check the hood and trunk trigger inputs. Do the door locks flip flop in polarity? A: No. You can use the DM700 for high current positive (+) locks, or the DM600 harness used for low current 600mA positive (+) locks.
What are Firmware Version Diagnostics? A: When you turn the Ignition on and hold buttons 1 and 4 or Lock and Key/Start for 2.5 seconds then the parking lights will flash 1 time on the CM7 series showing V.1 and so forth. A current version 3.1 for example should show 3 flashes when triggered.
What is this cartridge slot on the rear of the CM7300? A: This is the slot for the Blade cartridge system. This slot is for the Idatalink Blade remote start bypass modules. For more information on the compatibility and install information please visit www.compustar.idatalink.com Using this system eliminates many connections between your standard control module and bypass module. IMPORTANT: If you are not using the Blade then you will not have or use the 20 pin connector next to the backup battery port.
I'm using the RPS Touch but my LED's and Secure Valet LED does not flash. A: The CM7300 LED and Secure Valet LEDs will not work when using an RPS Touch. This is a hardware limitation. The RPS 2 will work with LEDs and Secure Valet.
