OPERATION - Dome Light/Remote Control
Dome Light
The built-in Dome Light has three modes of operation:
1) External Dome Light Switch
In this mode, the Dome Light is controlled by an externally mounted switch. This mode is
the lights highest priority and supersedes all other modes of operation.
Two wires are used to control this operation:
Dome Light ALWAYS ON
—> Ground (Dome Light stays ON)
Dome Light ALWAYS OFF —> Ground (Dome Light stays OFF)
2) Vehicle Door Open/Close
When connected to the factory door switch, the Dome Light will operate in conjunction with
the opening and closing of the vehicle’s doors. If the External Dome Light Switch is being
used, it must be disabled in order to this mode to operate properly.
3) Dome Light Remote Button
The Dome Light can be turned ON at any time, using the Dome Light button on the Remote
Control. Again, the External Switch must be disabled in order for this mode to operate. Also,
if the Dome Light is turned on using the Door Switch, the Dome Light button on the Remote
Control can turn it OFF.
Additional Dome Light Feature
The TMX-R680 has an additional feature for controlling the built-in Dome Light. This
gives the installer added flexibility in integrating the system into a vehicle.
• Door Trigger OFF Mode
In case the customer does not wish to install an external Dome Light Switch, the Door
Trigger OFF mode may still be set. In this mode, the Dome Light will not turn ON even
if the door is opened.
Activate the Door Trigger OFF Mode:
Make sure that the door is open and the Dome Light is ON. Press and Hold the Dome
Light button for at least 3 seconds. The Dome Light will turn OFF and the Door Trigger
OFF Mode is activated. Once this mode is set, the Dome Light will not turn ON even if
the door is opened.
NOTE: The Remote Control still controls the Dome Light while the Door Trigger OFF
Mode is activated.
Deactivate the Door Trigger OFF Mode:
Make sure the door is open and the Dome Light is OFF. Press and Hold the Dome Light
button for at least 3 seconds. The Dome Light will turn ON and the Door Trigger OFF
mode is deactivated. The door will now control the Dome Light.
• Delayed Dome Light
If the user would like to have a delayed Dome Light in his/her vehicle, the TMX-R680A
can be programmed for this feature. Please see page 12.
