Remote controlled sensor adjustments
Due to ever-changing conditions, all alarms require periodic fine-tuning of their sensors.
Other alarms require repeated trips back to the dealer. Not so with Concept 40. You can
adjust sensitivity of each sensor zone electronically without tools and without even knowing
where the sensors are mounted! If the setting of one or both Proximity Sensor zones is
either too sensitive or not sensitive enough, you may individually test and adjust the
settings of each zone. To adjust the Proximity Sensor, just use the following procedure:
1. Disarm the system with the remote control, open the driver’s window, then select the
sensor zone you wish to adjust:
a. Interior zone: Transmit channel 11 (LevelShift twice, then button 3).
b. Exterior zone: Transmit channel 12 (LevelShift twice, then button 4).
2. To test the current sensitivity setting:
a. Interior zone: Lean into the passenger compartment. You will hear a chirp when
the zone detects your presence. Ideally, it should chirp when you lean over the
driver’s seat, but remain silent when you lean toward the window.
b. Exterior zone: Lean toward the window. You’ll hear a chirp when the zone
detects you. Ideally, it should only chirp when you are within one foot of the window.
3. If you are not satisfied with the detection level and wish to increase sensitivity, press
button 2 on your remote control. To decrease it, press button 4. Each time you
increase sensitivity, the siren will sound two chirps. Conversely, each sensitivity
decrease is confirmed with a single chirp. Three chirps indicate minimum and
maximum settings. There are 32 sensitivity levels for the Proximity Sensor’s interior
zone; 16 for the less critical warning zone.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until you are satisfied with the sensitivity, then press button 1
to record the new sensitivity setting and exit the sensor test/adjust mode (you’ll hear
three chirps to confirm exit). You may now either repeat steps 1–4 for the other
sensor zone, or press button 1 again to arm the system.
Sound complicated? It really isn’t, there’s just a lot of explanation of what’s happening
with each step. All you really have to do is the actions noted in bold type. Give it a try.
Remote controlled override of one or both sensor zones
Transmitting channel 10 within 10 seconds of arming the system will override the
exterior warning zone of the Proximity Sensor (you’ll see 4 parking light flashes to
confirm the zone override). This is useful when parking in an area with heavy pedestrian
traffic. Transmitting channel 10 again within the 10 second period will override both
zones of the sensor for those times when you must leave a passenger or pet in the
vehicle. The sensor zones are automatically restored the next time you arm the system.
AutoLock and AutoUnLock™
For your safety and that of your passengers, the doors automatically lock the instant you
turn on the ignition (see User-selectable features on pages 20-24). When you turn the
ignition off, AutoUnLock automatically unlocks the doors. To suit your preferences, you
may turn off either or both the AutoLock and/or AutoUnLock features. There are four
possibilities: AutoLock “on” while AutoUnLock is “off”, or vice-versa. The other two
combinations are both AutoLock and AutoUnLock “on” or both “off.”
