All, I have a Viper 5900 installed and working fine. With remote start (all works fine)I decided I wanted to add a additional trigger input to remote start my vehicle So lookinga the schematic I found a wire White with blue strip (Negative trigger)I test it by toggling a negative pulse. My vehicle starts fine....
However, my device supplying the negative trigger input is not a pulse. its a constant - negative. So after a little research I discover I need a DEI 528T (Pulse timer module) So I wire it up.. It does in fact Pulse out a single negative trigger for the set time. (testes and works)But, the end result? It does not start the vehicle I tested for a neg- pulse OK...I tested the alarm input a second time OK... tie them together? NADA...
The best I can figure is the 5900 requires perhaps a double -- pulse?
Any help or advice would be appreciated. Im brain washed.. Its been kicking my a?s now for 2 hours...
TIA!

If you use that WHITE/ blue as a start trigger when you have separate (DEI) alarm and R/S, the factory default is 2 pulses. I BELIEVE(?) you can programme it to activate on one pulse.
What kind of device...? Is this something that is done only in the car...(like push start...?) If so...Just wire up a toggle/momentary switch and flip/push it twice...! How/What exactly is your "device", and how do you want it to work...? You can take the wire directly to ground... Touch it once briefly to ground/chassis...Did it start...? Do the same w/ two touches to ground/chassis...Did it start...? Or read the manual...LOL...You said a constant single pulse started right...? How/What did you use to test output...? Maybe a relay in-line would boost ground signal(just a thought)

you can program the remotestarter to work off of a single pulse and then it should work. and depending on how strong of an output your device sends to activate the starter you may need to use a relay to give it a stronger ground.

My device is a Thermostat that has an internal relay that can switch what ever I need Grnd, 12V etc.. Right now It controls a fan in the back of my truck when the temp falls below the set point it starts a fan... I thought heck I should just have it start my truck. So i tried to tie it into the 5900. But the best I can tell the 5900 needs more than 1 pulse. I dont think it can be programmed any other way I looked in the pgm manual. I don't have a relationship with Direced so I cant call them and most shops around me have not a clue.
so after testing and testing. the best I can come up with is 2 528t's. I would like the option for the car to self start. without any input from me via remote. I hope this addl information helps. right now I only have 1 528t Im going to order a 2nd one and try and chain them together to create a double pulse, any other ideas would be helpful

This input comes from the factory set to 2 activation pulses. This means that it is necessary to have 2 consecutive
ground pulses on the WHITE/ blue wire for the remote start to activate or to deactivate. The same holds true
for the remote control activation when set to a two pulse setting it is necessary to press the button twice
for the remote start to activate or deactivate.
NOTE: When the activation pulse count can be programmed to 1, 2, or 3 pulses when changed it
will affect both activation inputs; the WHITE/ Blue wire and the remote control activation.
Solution...Menu 3 Option #8...Set to single pulse...And Voila...! All the stuff in bold is default settings...!

I am not real familiar w/ that unit...But on some,if the temp drops below a set degree...the car starts...Kinda like what your doing...?
