Adjusting The Shock Sensor - Mongoose M8 Owner's Operation & Installation Manual

ADJUSTING THE SHOCK SENSOR

The sensitivity of the sensor is adjusted by turning the adjustment knob located on the side of the alarm
module clockwise to increase and counter clockwise to decrease.
(1) Close the doors, bonnet and boot and arm the alarm. Leave the driver's window open.
(2) Wait 6 seconds for the shock sensor to stabilise
(3) Test A:
Firmly strike the vehicle (rear bumper or wheels) with the side of a closed fist considering the
amount of force required to break a window.
Test B:
Reach in through the open window and give the steering wheel a reasonable impact.
Try different degrees of impact to ascertain the sensors sensitivity to see if adjustment is required.
(4) Turn the adjustment screw slightly clockwise to increase sensitivity and counter clockwise to decrease
sensitivity. (DO NOT over turn this screw. Maximum rotation for this adjustment is 270°).
(5) Only adjust in small increments and re-test with each adjustment.
(6) Repeat this procedure until satisfied with the sensitivity all around the vehicle.
WARNING! Never perform this test on the vehicle
CAUTION: Setting the sensitivity too high can cause false alarms due to noise/vibrations from passing
trucks, heavy equipment and loud exhausts.
