ADJUSTING THE SHOCK SENSOR

easily, or if the siren doesn’t go off when you
think it should, it’s time to adjust the sensi­
tivity.

level, consider remounting the shock sensor.
Sensitivity
The VISION 318­052 “Active­IR” shock sensor has been engineered to
avoid false triggers in most situations. However, there is still the possibil­
ity the sensor could trigger the siren during a strong earthquake, jackham­
mer operation adjacent to the vehicle, hurricane/typhoon, large explosions/

extreme cases are anticipated, you can avoid false siren triggers simply
by arming the system with the Sensor Bypass Method, which ignores the
shock sensor (see page 8 of the Owner’s Guide).
Another consideration is temperature. The sensitivity can vary by as much
as 20% under extreme temperature conditions. You may wish to reduce the
sensitivity in hot weather and increase sensitivity in cold weather.
False Alarms
If the shock sensor is not working well or at all, it may be that the suspend­
ed element inside the case was jolted out of position. Disconnect the wire
harness, snap open the shock sensor case, and adjust as shown below.
