sensor description section

507T tilt/motion sensor

This sensor detects when the vehicle is being raised in an attempt to

either remove the wheels/tires or tow the vehicle. This sensor is capa-

ble of learning the vehicle’s initial angles of vertical and horizontal incli-

nation each time the vehicle is parked.

adjusting the proximity sensor

It is recommended that adjustments be performed away from fluores-

cent lighting, large metal structures, or confined areas that can affect

the sensor field. The alarm will exit adjustment mode automatically 60

seconds after the last adjustment signal from the transmitter and revert

to its previous settings.

The proximity sensor field takes one to two minutes to settle after

entering adjustment mode, so begin adjusting the sensor within 45

seconds and adjust it slowly so it has time to settle. After two minutes

you will have a consistent field during adjustment testing. Each zone

has 32 settings that are indicated by chirps that raise and lower in fre-

quency as adjustments are made. Total adjustment time for this sensor

should be five minutes or less.

nnoottee::   You MUST exit using the ARM/DISARM button after program-
ming to lock in the new settings!
