How to configure the strike sensor on alarm

In order for your auto alarm to perform its mission without failures and false alarms, it must be adjusted correctly. In particular, to adjust the shock sensor. It is quite easy to do this, so you can perform such an adjustment of the sensitivity of the alarm and do it yourself.

First you need to find the location of the sensor. In most cases, this device is hidden installed in the cabin of the car under the panel (directly under it or below, on the floor). To find this secret place, you can use the managing instructions, where the sensor will be indicated as Valet (if installed according to this manual).

Carefully inspect the sensor found - it should be a special adjusting screw, with which the desired sensitivity level is set. On the sensor housing in the regimen area, there are arrows who will tell you where to rotate the screw to increase or decrease the sensitivity of the alarm. To scroll down the tuning screw itself, use a suitable screwdriver.

Now put the car to the alarm and after a minute, tested its sensitivity. Since the security system should trigger precisely on the jogging strikes, it is necessary to check its work with purses or blows. To do this, push or hit the car (body or windshield) - at first, and then stronger.

If the alarm has been given a voice after easy touch to the car - with the level of sensitivity of the system you have ceased and need to be reduced. If the siren does not turn on and after several intensive blows - the shock sensor should be adjusted towards greater sensitivity.

After successfully adjusting the alarm impact sensor, such unpleasant surprises such as false responses due to temperature drops or noise effects, you should no longer disturb you. But at the same time, remember that too low sensitivity of the sensor can play in the opposite direction - the alarm will not work not only for extraneous safe interference, but also attempting the car hacking. Therefore, if you are not sure that you will do everything right, trust the commissioning of the system to specialists.
