VISION 1480 INSTALL GUIDE
MOUNTING SYSTEM COMPONENTS
The shock sensor is not waterproof so only mount it
inside the car
. Only
use
the included
2-sided tape, and mount the sensor to the outside of a
plastic surface such as the car’s center console. We recommend you mount
it in open view (rather than hide it) in order to make sensitivity adjust-
ments easier.
When chosing a mounting location on the driver’s side (typically on the
lower side of the center console plastics), try to mount the sensor in a place
where it cannot be accidentally kicked by the driver. And before you mount
the sensor with the included tape, use your fingers to press against the
place where you want to mount it, to see if the plastics move a lot when you
press on them. Plastics that are “looser” will result in lower shock sensitiv-
ity. Mounting on a more firm section of the car’s plastic will result in much
better sensitivity. Since you only have one piece of included tape, try to
determine the best mounting location before you affix it.
NEVER
use screws or wire ties to mount the sensor! Always mount to
plastic, using the included tape! Mounting to metal can increase sensitiv-
ity so high it will cause false triggering.
We strongly recommend
you first
clean
the mounting surface in the
car with
brake cleaner
(or similar oil solvent, degreaser) to make the
sensor’s 2-sided tape stick more permanently.
Even when affixing the
sensor to very rough textured car plastics, the use of brake cleaner on the
plastic surface will allow the sensor tape to stick permanently. Failure to
clean the surface may result in the tape peeling off over time, which would
cause the sensor to fall off and possible false trigger the siren.
Shock Sensor
Always mount the shock sensor and sensor wires more than 30cm (1ft.)
away from the optional Paging System’s Antenna Unit, and 30cm from
the controller of any attached Ultrasonic Sensor. Failure to do so may
cause the shock sensor to randomly false trigger the siren.
