ADJUSTING THESENSITIVITY OF THESHOCK SENSOR
The purpose of a shock detector is to “sense” strong impacts to the
vehicle’sglassand bodypanels,butignorelightbumps tothe vehicle.
This alarmisprogrammed toreport theseimpactsin twoways.

IMPORTANT !Settingthe sensitivityofthe shocksensortoo highwill
causefalsealarms.Asubstantialamountofforceisrequiredtoactually
break automotive glass,and the shock sensorshould be set accord-
ingly.
Before proceeding with the adjustment, make sure that all screws
securing the siren control module to the bracket, and securing the
bracketto thevehicle,are securelytightened.
To adjustthe shock sensor;
A. Locate andremove the small rubberplug on theback of the siren
controlmodule.
B. Gently turn the adjustment screw fully counter - clockwise, then

ADJUSTING THE SENSITIVITY OF THE GLASS BREAK
DETECTOR
Thealarmdoesnotneedtobearmed whenadjustingthesensitivity of
this sensor. Simply observe the red L.E.D.on themicrophone while
makingthe adjustments.
A. Gently turn the adjustment screw counterclockwise until a slight
resistance isfelt, thenturnit clockwiseabout 1/4rotation.
B.ObservetheL.E.D.,movetotheinsiderearofthevehicle,andfirmly
clap yourhandstwo quicktimes.
C.If theL.E.D. turnedon briefly,no furtheradjustment isnecessary.
D.IftheL.E.D.didnotturnon,gentlyturntheadjustmentscrewanother
1/8 rotation clockwise, and repeat the test. Continue until the
adjustmentis properlyset.
IMPORTANT!Donotsetthesensitivitytoohigh,asdoingsowillcause
false alarms created by noises outside the vehicle. The sensitivity
should be set to detect the loud sound of breaking glass within the
automobile.
