that can be selected by the operator:
1. Normal Operation (default mode) In this mode, any strong vibrations will cause the siren
to sound (full detect) for 30 seconds. Any lesser vibration will cause the siren to emit about
6 short warn away chirps, (pre-detect).
2. Stage 1 (Omit pre-detect) In this mode, the warn away chirps created by the lesser vibration
will be deleted. If strong vibration occurs, the siren will sound.
3. Stage 2 (Omit pre & full detect) In this mode, both the pre-detect stage and the full trigger
stage of the sensor are defeated. The unit will not react to vibration of any magnitude.
4. Stage 3 (City Mode) In this mode, the pre-detect chirps will change from six pre-warning
tones to a full 10 seconds of warning chirps. The full detect trigger duration will be reduced
from 30 seconds to 15 seconds.
NOTE: Setting the stage of the shock sensor will be effective for one arming cycle only. Once the system
has been disarmed, the very next arming cycle will cause the sensor to default to the normal
operation stage.
To change or adjust the shock sensor, press and release the ARM button of you keychain transmitter.
1. Within 2 seconds of arming, press and release the ARM button 1 time, to defeat the pre-detect stage of
the shock sensor. (The lights will flash and the siren will chirp twice.)
2. Within 2 seconds of step 1, press and release the ARM button 2 times, to defeat the pre and full detect
stages of the shock sensor. (The lights will flash and the siren will chirp three times.)
3. Within 2 seconds of step 1, press and release the ARM button 3 times to
enter the "City Mode" of operation. (The lights will flash and the siren will chirp four times.)
While under control of the remote start the system can be programmed to allow you to shunt the shock
sensor from the transmitter. If the system has been such programmed, simply press the lock button of your
keychain transmitter anytime during the remote start cycle. The shock sensor will be shunted for the entire
run cycle and will resume normal operation after the remote start unit shuts off.
Check with your installation center to determine if this feature has been programmed into your system.
