I agree about the audio alarm. Too many occasions when it is just not wanted. I just removed the reference to it from the instructions and clarified the hookup to the alarm light. Ignore the reference to audio panel (no connection) and wire Pin 2 to the light. The other lead of the light goes to +12 (or whatever voltage the light is rated at). Pin 2 goes to ground when the alarm is active.
There are no doubt other details in the instructions that will require clarification. Don't hesitate to squawk when you run across something that isn't clear.

Greetings,
I just spent some time between phone calls reading through the EM2 manual. All I can say is OUTSTANDING Tracy! I can't think of anything else this could have. The real dilemma is what to do with all these extra sensor inputs :-)
Just one question at the moment:
On the P3 switch connector, pin 2 is "alarm or audio panel interface", and pin 10 is +5V "audio panel interface power". This confuses me a bit. Can you explain which gets hooked up for a big bright light, and which would get hooked up for an audio input to the radio, or intercom? Can both be used, or do you need to pick one or the other? I'll probably be using the big light, since I already have one mounted, and found the audio warning on the RMI to be very annoying.
Thanks. Can't wait to get it hooked up and running. Heck, this might make a nice all in one device for my Airbike.
Thanks,
Rusty
