Remote controlled sensor adjustments
Due to ever-changing conditions, all alarms require periodic fine-tuning of their sensors.
With other alarms, this requires repeated trips back to the dealer. Not so with IntelliGuard
900-IQ. You can adjust sensitivity electronically without tools and without even knowing
where the sensor is mounted! If the setting(s) of the OmniSensor is either too sensitive
or not sensitive enough, you may individually test and adjust the settings of each zone.
To adjust the OmniSensor, just use the following procedure:
1. Disarm the system with the remote control.
2. If you wish to adjust the primary zone, transmit channel 11 (LevelShift twice, then
button 3). If you desire to adjust the warning zone, transmit channel 12 (LevelShift
twice, then button 4).
3. To test the preset sensitivity setting, first press button 4 (you will hear 4 chirps to
confirm testing mode). You may now test the preset sensitivity setting by
“thumping” your fist against the window pillar and/or other parts of the vehicle at a
level that you wish to trigger the alarm. If the impact is strong enough to set off the
sensor zone you selected, you will hear a single siren chirp.
4. If you are not satisfied with the detection level and wish to change sensitivity, press
button 2 on your remote control (you will hear 2 chirps to confirm sensitivity setting
mode), then thump your fist against the window pillar with the amount of force you
want to set to trigger the sensor zone (for the primary zone, thump firmly, for the
warning zone, thump less forcefully). A single chirp will acknowledge the impact.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until you are satisfied with the sensitivity, then press button 1
to record the new sensitivity setting and exit the sensor test/adjust mode (you’ll hear
three chirps to confirm exit). You may now either repeat steps 1-5 for the other
sensor zone, or press button 1 to arm the system.
Sound complicated? It really isn’t, there’s just a lot of explanation of what’s happening
with each step. All you really have to do is the actions noted in bold type. Give it a try.
Remote controlled override of optional sensor #2
If you have an optional sensor, transmitting channel 10 within 10 seconds after arming
the system will override the optional sensor. For instance, if you have an optional
Proximity Sensor that picks up any movement inside the passenger compartment, you
may use channel 10 to turn it off for those times when you must leave your pet or a
passenger in the vehicle. The channel 10 sensor override is visually confirmed with 4
flashes of the parking lights.
Smart trunk release option
If the optional remote trunk release feature was installed, you may use remote control
button 2 to remotely pop open the trunk. Your system has a built-in electronic interlock
to prevent unintentional activation of the remote trunk release when you drive, or when
the system is armed.
