Clifford 60 Automobile Alarm User Manual


 
Remote controlled sensor adjustments
Due to ever-changing conditions, all alarms require periodic fine-tuning of their sensors.
With other alarms, this requires repeated trips back to the dealer. Not so with Concept
60. You can adjust sensitivity of each sensor and each sensor zone electronically
without tools and without even knowing where the sensors are mounted!
If the setting of one or both Piezo Sensor zones is either too sensitive or not sensitive
enough, you may individually test and adjust the settings of each zone. To adjust the
Piezo Sensor, just use the following procedure:
1. Disarm the system, then select the Piezo Sensor zone you wish to adjust:
a. Primary zone: Transmit channel 11 (LevelShift twice, then button 3).
b. Warning zone: Transmit channel 12 (LevelShift twice, then button 4).
2. To test the current sensitivity setting:
a. Primary zone: Firmly “thump” the window pillar with the side of your fist. You
will hear a chirp to confirm activation of the primary zone.
b. Warning zone: “Thump” the window pillar with somewhat less force. A chirp will
confirm activation of the warning zone.
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 chirp in higher and higher pitched tones to confirm
the higher sensitivity setting. Conversely, lower and lower tones confirm each
sensitivity decrease. Two normal tone chirps indicate minimum and maximum
settings. There are 16 sensitivity levels for each of the two sensing zones.
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.
To remotely test and adjust the sensitivity of the Glass Tampering Sensor, see the
User-selectable features section on pages 21-25.
Remote controlled override of optional sensor #3
If you have an optional third sensor, transmitting channel 10 within 10 seconds of
arming the system will override the optional sensor. For instance, if you have an
optional Proximity Sensor that picks up any movement inside the passenger
compartment, you may use channel 10 to turn it off for those times when you must leave
a passenger or pet in the vehicle. Remote override of optional sensor #3 is visually
confirmed with four flashes of the parking lights.
Smart trunk release option
If the remote trunk release feature was installed, you may use remote control button 2 to
remotely pop the trunk. Your system has a built-in electronic interlock to prevent
uninten- tional activation of the remote trunk release when you drive, or when the
system is armed.
