MICROWAVE SENSOR (M60AM MODEL – optional on other models)
The microwave sensor is designed to trigger the alarm when a microwave field
registers physical movement. 2 fields are generated, one outside the vehicle to give
perimeter protection, and one inside to give interior protection.
Intrusion into the perimeter area chirps the siren as a warning, whilst intrusion into
the interior fully sounds the siren. The fields are adjustable for size and should have
been set by the installer at their optimum. It is advisable to limit the exterior field to
about the width of the door mirrors and the interior to approximately ¾ of the vehicle
width. Do not leave people or animals inside the vehicle as any movement will trigger
the alarm. Should you need to leave people or animals inside when arming, follow the
instructions for ‘sensor disable by remote’.
Note: As the microwave produces circular protective fields, some areas of the vehicle may not be protected.
SENSOR DISABLE BY REMOTE (ALARM MODELS ONLY)
There are times when you may wish to deactivate the supplied sensors (impact, ultrasonic or
microwave – depending on model of alarm or fitted accessories) to prevent false alarms.
To turn these sensors off, but arm the bonnet, boot and doors and immobilise the engine, press
button one to arm the system and within 3 seconds, button two. You will hear the siren chirp for
arming followed by three tones indicating the sensors are turned off for this time only.
To disable the sensors at some later time after arming, press the 2
nd
button three times quickly.
If the alarm is sounding and has been triggered by a sensor, pressing the 2
nd
button disables the
sensor from further detections.
INTRUSION ALERT
When disarming, if the siren chirps 4 times and the indicators flash 3 times you know the system
has been triggered. Refer to the LED flash codes on page 10 to show which circuit has been
triggered.
