Shock Sensor - Viper 500 ESP Installation Manual

The higher the control module is in the vehicle, the better the transmitter range will be. If you put the control
module under a seat or inside a metal dashboard, range will suffer, and you may wish to add a DEI
Range Extending Antenna (available separately).
Some good control module locations: above the glove box, inside the center console, above the under-dash fuse
box, above the radio, etc.
locations for stinger doubleguard shock sensor
Some things to remember about where to mount the shock sensor:
Never put the Stinger
Find a spot close to the control module so that the wires do not need to be extended. Keep it away from the
heater core (or any other heat sources) and any obvious leaks.
How the Stinger ® is mounted is the most important factor in its performance. We recommend two methods:
Using double-sided tape or hook-and-loop fastener to mount to a trim panel or an air duct, or
Wire-tying to a wire harness.
If mounting the sensor where it cannot be easily reached for adjustment, hook-and-loop fastening tape (such as
Velcro) is recommended for ease of removal for future adjustments.
NOTE: In many vehicles, tying the sensor to a steering column or screwing it to metal will result in
poor sensitivity, especially at the rear of the vehicle.
