This loop wire should be cut
only if you want to protect the
vehicle from sudden impacts to
the glass or body panels, but do
not want the alarm to trigger
when a door has been opened.
ADJUSTING THE SENSITIVITY
OF THE SHOCK SENSOR
The purpose of a shock detector
is to “sense” strong impacts to
the vehicle’s glass and body
panels, but ignore light bumps
to the vehicle.
This alarm is programmed to
report these impacts in two
ways.
A lighter impact will cause the
alarm to sound a series of short
“chirps”, warning anyone tam-
pering with the vehicle to stop
immediately.
A more forceful impact will
cause the alarm to sound for
it’s full 60 second cycle,
informing you that a serious
violation attempt has occurred.
IMPORTANT ! Setting the sen-
sitivity of the shock sensor
too high will cause false alarms.
A substantial amount of force
is required to actually break
automotive glass, and the shock
sensor should be set accord-
ingly.
Before proceeding with the ad-
justment, verify that all screws
securing the siren control mod-
ule to the bracket, and secur-
ing the bracket to the vehicle,
are securely tightened.
To adjust the shock sensor;
A. Locate and remove the small
rubber plug on the back of the
siren control module.
B. Gently turn the adjustment
screw fully counter - clock-
wise, then clockwise approxi-
mately 1/8 of a turn. Do not
over turn this screw, as maxi-
mum rotation is approximately
270°. You should stop applying
pressure as soon as you feel a
slight amount of resistance.
C. Close the hood, arm the
alarm ( ARMED or “ 1 CHIRP “ ),
and allow six seconds for the
shock sensor to stabilize.
D. Firmly strike the front
bumper of the vehicle with the
side of a closed fist, consid-
ering the amount of force
