to produce 2 Chirps. This signifies that you have changed the programming to Chirps OFF. Please follow the
programming procedure carefully, and refer to the list of the Programmable Features above when programming the
APS-20LAD.
COMPLETING THE INSTALLATION:
After you have confirmed the operation of the APS-20LAD, and tested any and all optional features of the system:
1. Mount the control module up and behind the dash securing it in place with cable ties or screws. Be certain
that the chosen mounting location will not inhibit any of the controls of the vehicle.
2. Securely harness and tie all wiring up and away from all hot and moving parts that they may come in contact
with under the dash board or in the engine compartment areas.
CAUTION: Particularly avoid the area around the steering shaft and column, as wires can wrap around these
mechanisms and impair the safe operation of the vehicle.
3. Shock Sensor Sensitivity Adjusting:
Note: The shock sensor's LED's will not operate unless the alarm system is armed.
The sensitivity of the pre-detect stage, (Indicated by the Green LED), and full trigger stage, (Indicated by the Red
LED) are set with one setting. The pre-detect stage will operate at a 30% force of the full trigger stage.
a. Arm your alarm system than firmly strike the windshield pillar with the open palm of the hand considering the
force required to break the vehicle glass. If the alarm system triggers easily, disarm your alarm, turn the adjustment
screw located on the sensor counterclockwise to decrease the units sensitivity, and repeat the above test. If the
siren emitted a few short bursts (pre-detect) no further adjustment is necessary.
b. If the unit failed to pre-detect, increase the sensitivity setting by turning the adjustment potentiometer clockwise.
Note: Proper sensitivity level is dependent mostly upon technician preference, mounting location, and vehicle size.
Always consider the effect of setting the sensitivity level too high. This will cause false triggers due to environment
noise and passing vehicle vibrations. Keeping your settings at a minimum will prevent these problems.
4. Check the vehicle's wipers, lights, horn, etc... to insure proper operation.
5. Replace all panels that were removed during installation, and retest the system.
6. Explain the operation of the system and its various features to the end user if available, and place the Owner's
Manual on the dashboard for them to find and review.
