Step 11 - Trying Out the Alarm
Now everything is complete and it is time to try out the system.
•
Press button #3 (yellow) and the headlights should come
on. They will turn off in 30 seconds or you can turn them off
by pressing the YELLOW button again.
•
Press button #2 (red) for 1-2 seconds to get the CarFinder
feature. The siren will sound for 1-2 seconds and the lights
will flash.
•
Press and hold button #2 (red) for 3 seconds to get the Panic
mode. The alarm will sound and the lights will flash for 30
seconds. You can turn off the alarm by pressing the RED
button again.
•
Press button #1 (green) for 1 second. You will hear one chirp
signifying that the alarm is now armed. Open the car door
and the current draw caused by the interior dome light coming
on will set off the car alarm. Hold down button #1 (green) for
2 seconds to turn off the alarm. Push the left button again to
rearm the system. This time, hit the vehicle with your fist to
simulate a thief breaking into your car - and test out the shock
sensor mode. Again, turn off the alarm by pressing button #1
(GREEN) for 2 seconds.
•
Please note that any radio frequency type product is subject
to many conditions including interference from other products.
"Line-of-sight" range should be up to 400 feet in front of the
vehicle, but will be less from different angles of the vehicle
and under other conditions (such as being inside a building
or other structure, or being in a high radio interference area).
•
The shock sensor and warn away have a zone bypass. If the
shock is triggered 4 times within a 12 hour period, then the
shock sensor zone will be bypassed for 12 hours. (Note:
Wireless sensors do not have a zone bypass).

Step 12 - Using with a Wireless Sensor

models 20615 or 20915 (not included). The Wireless Alarm Sensor
is a small device that will monitor a door like those on the back of
pickup trucks, truck caps, Tonneau covers or those on a tool box. It
allows the user to have multiple alarm trigger sources without the
extra expense and hassle of hardwiring them to the alarm module.

handheld transmitters or sensors. So, for example if you have two
handheld transmitters that you are using with the alarm, then the
maximum number of sensors that can be added are six for a total of
eight. The unit is powered by an included lithium battery, which has a
lifespan of 1 - 3 years.
The sensor consists of three pieces. The larger piece is the actual
sensor and built-in transmitter that transmits its status to the alarm
module. It is hardwired to a smaller piece that is a magnetic reed
switch. The other smaller piece is a magnet. The two smaller pieces
must be mounted next to each other using the self adhesive strips
that come with the sensor or small screws. The hardwired piece
needs to be mounted on a stationary portion or door frame, right next
to the other smaller piece which needs to be mounted on the piece
that swings open (i.e. the door). When the two are next to each other
the magnet piece will hold the reed switch piece closed. When the
magnet moves away from the reed switch, then the reed switch will
send a signal to the transmitter through the wires contected to it and
the larger transmitter piece will transmit a signal to the alarm that will
cause it to trigger.
The alarm will respond to a wireless sensor in one of three different
ways depending on whether the alarm is armed or disarmed and
whether the Wireless Sensor battery is low or not:
Unit is unarmed and the Wireless Sensor is triggered, then the alarm
module will flash the lights one time.
Unit is unarmed and the Wireless Sensor is triggered and the battery
20630 / 20930
20630 / 20930
is capable of working with Wireless Alarm Sensor,
®
will work with up to any combination of up to eight
