Testing Your Alarm - Mongoose M60i Operation Manuals

TESTING YOUR ALARM

We strongly recommend that you test your alarm frequently.
1) Without disarming the system, unlock and open a door with the ignition key - the alarm should
sound, excluding model M60i. Check all other doors, bonnet and boot by the same procedure.
2) Check the impact sensor, M60B only unless fitted as an accessory, by giving the vehicle
varying degrees of impact - be careful to do this on areas of the vehicle not likely to be
damaged by impact. Light impacts should chirp the siren whilst heavier impacts should fully
sound the siren.
3) Enter the vehicle and shut all doors, arm the system by remote and try to start the engine to
test the engine immobiliser - it should not start.
4) To test the ultrasonic sensors, M60AU, enter the vehicle, shut all doors and windows, arm the
system and allow it to stabilise for 10~20 seconds. Now wave or clap your hands – the alarm
should sound.
5) To test the microwave sensor, M60AM, arm the system and wait at least 10~20 seconds for the
sensor to stabilise. Moving a hand over the outside of side windows should chirp the siren.
To test the perimeter field size, repeat this movement on the outside of all glass areas.
To test the interior, leave a window open when arming and reach in and wave an arm around
- the siren should fully sound.
