530T Window Automation System
The 530T window automation system controls the operation of two vehicle windows in both the up and down
directions. The 530T automatically rolls up the power windows when the security system is armed, as well as pro-
viding “one-touch” operation in either direction. The 530T can also be used to vent or roll the windows
completely down with an auxiliary channel from the security system.
Identifying Window Systems
Before wiring the 530T, it is important to understand

Type A or Type C Windows Type B power window systems are common in many European cars, such as Mercedes Benz and Porsche. In the type B system, the power window wires will rest at (+)12V ignition and the switch will switch one of the wires to (-) ground to activate the window motor. The wire that switches to (-) ground determines which direction the window will move. Since the 530T monitors the state of the switch wires, the switch input polarity must be set to the (-) negative setting (see dip-

Type B Windows Some window systems use either a central control module, or control modules in each door. These systems are less common than direct wired systems. These can be found in many newer Volkswagens, BMWs, Isuzus, Maximas and Grand Cherokees. If the vehicle has one of these systems, the 530T must be interfaced between the module(s) and the window motor(s). This often requires the wires to be run into each door. The 530T monitors the AC “noise” generated by the motion of the motor. For th

H1/3 BLUE Driver-Side Up Motor Input: Cut the driver-side up wire at the switch (see NOTE on page 1) and connect this wire to the motor side of the up wire. H1/4 RED (+)12V Constant, 20A Fused: Connect to a fused source of constant 12V. Make sure to connect this wire to a 12V source capable of handling high current draw, such as the ignition harness or the battery. H1/5 BLACK (-) Chassis Ground: Connect this wire to a paint-free surface on the vehicle chassis. Use a factory bolt if possible.

NOTE: If the security system does not have a ground-when-armed output, a negative lock pulse from the security system can be used to roll the windows up, as shown in the following diagram. H2/5 GRAY (-) Output During Activation: Connect this wire to an optional relay (P/N 610T) to bypass sensors which may trigger the security system during operation. This wire continues to output negative (-) ground for 5 seconds after the window motors have stopped. H2/6 BROWN/BLACK Passenger-Side Up Switch Inp

Switch 5 Switch Input Polarity ON (-) OFF (+) Dipswitch #5 controls the polarity that the 530T switch input wires will respond to. For type A and type C systems, it must be set to the OFF (+) position. When the switch is in the off position the 530T responds to (+) positive inputs on its switch wires. If your vehicle has a type B system, this switch must be set to the ON (-) position, so the 530T will respond to (-) negative inputs on its switch wires. Remember, the type B system switches its

NOTE: If “one-touch” operation is desired from the passenger-side switch, the passenger-side wires must be run into the passenger-side door and interfaced between the passenger-side switch and the motor. NOTE: If using a delayed auxiliary channel from the security system, such as channel 2, to control windows down operation, the transmitter button will need to be pressed for 1.5 seconds to vent the windows or 4.5 seconds to roll the windows all the way down.
