Adjusting the Sensor

Important!

 Make sure the vehicle is disarmed. The shock sensor  sensitivity can be adjusted by using a trimmer tool to turn the potentiometer.

 

Adjusting the sensor:

 

1. 

Disarm

 the system, 

turn

 the ignition Off.

2.  With the sensor mounted in its permanent location, locate the trim pot on the shock sensor module and using a trimmer tool: 

• 

Turn the potentiometer clockwise for increased sensitivity or 

• 

Turn it counterclockwise for decreased sensitivity

Note:

 You can test the new setting by cautiously impacting the vehicle with increasing intensity while noting the LED status on the shock 

sensor. The LED turns on for a short duration for small impacts before turning off (indicating a warn-away trigger). The impact level required 

to fully trigger the alarm is indicated when the LED remains on for a longer duration before turning off.

Tachometer settings

Tach Learning

To learn the tach signal:

1.  Start the vehicle with the key.

2.  Within 5 seconds, press and hold the control center button.

3.  After 3 seconds the LED will light constant when the tach signal is learned.

4.  Release the control center button.

Important:

 This unit can learn the tachometer with the analog input or through D2D 

using an interface module. The unit confirms which source is used. 

When programming tach learning with:

• 

Analog

, the parking lights flash 

one

 time.

• 

D2D

 interface module, the parking lights flash 

twice

If the tachometer input on the system is connected to the vehicle, the D2D tachometer input will be ignored.

Virtual Tach

Note: Virtual tach is not recommended for diesel trucks

To program Virtual Tach:

1.  After the install is complete, remote start the car. 

2.  If the car does not start on the first attempt, let the remote start attempt again.

3.  Once the car starts, let it run until the parking lights come on.

4.  When the parking lights come on, shut off the remote start with the remote - that’s it! Virtual Tach is programmed. 

Virtual Tach handles disengaging the starter motor during remote starting – it does not address over-rev. If the customer wants to have the over-

rev protection capability, the tach wire must be connected. This may involve more installation shop charges than initially quoted.

Important:

 If the Virtual Tach mode over cranks or doesn't crank the vehicle long enough to start and run the 

car, use the Bitwriter to add or subtract the starter output time.  You can adjust the output time in increments 

of 50msec of the learned time using the Bitwriter.
