This, along with many other products thatDakota Digital, Inc. has to offer, represents the latest in electronics technology for thestreet rod, classic car and truck, and any custom vehicle.The CMD-3000 Remote Control Door Latch Opener system comes complete withreceiver, two key chain transmitters, wiring harness, and emergency release switch.The CMD-3001 includes the CMD-3000 along with two PDR-1 door release actuators.The CMD-3002 includes the CMD-3000 along with three PDR-1 door release actuators.It is installed to remotely release the driver's and passenger's door independently alongwith a third channel to release a trunk, rear door, or whatever. A safety feature disablesthe system when the ignition is on to avoid accidental door opening during vehicleoperation. An emergency release switch can be concealed on the underside of thevehicle should the door ever be closed with the motor running and you on the outside.Pressing this button will allow reentry to the vehicle even though the remote controlsystem is disabled.INSTALLATIONWhile installation of the CMD-3000 is very straightforward, paying a little attentionhere and planning out how the system will fit into your specific vehicle will save sometime in the long run. First, determine the best mounting method for the door motorswithin the doors. The pull (or push) on the original door latch or newer bear claw latchshould be as straight as possible. Securely mount the motor and route a connecting rodas pertains to your specific situation.The receiver should be mounted under the dash up on the fire wall for bestaccess to wiring. The kick panel is also another good location for the receiver.Connect the CMD-3000 system as is shown in the wiring diagram. While thewiring diagram is self explanatory, there are several key areas to pay particular attentionto. First, the 12 volt source should be able to supply up to 10 amps if standard dooractuators are used or 30 amps if high power solenoids are used. It should not beconnected to a feed that is shared with a high current device such as a power window,power seat, or fan. Connecting to a source shared by a device such as this may causeimproper operation due to the surge current and subsequent voltage drop caused by thehigh current devices.The only wires that need to be passed to the doors are the two wires running toeach door motor. This should be done using a flexible rubber tube or rubber grommet1
