ALLDAY-24

I just installed an Autopage Alarm system in my car and I notice that it was not as sensitive as I'd want it.. So is there a way I can get to the alarm to be more sensitive.. I have an Autopage 2-way RF-225a..

look for the shock sensor and use a small headed flathead and turn it closewise

Where do i find the shock sensor? how does it look like? there is this one black box but i dont think that is the schock sensor.. it is 3-5 inches..

there should be a small black or clear box with a red or blue led under the steering column somewhere with one or two turn style with Philip heads. right more sensitive left less.

Impact sensor is built into main brain....

1. Turn the Ignition 'switch ‘ON/OFF’ 3 TIMES and stay in the OFF position.
2. Push the Valet switch 8 times holding in on the 8th push until four chirps
with a long chirp is heard. Then release the valet switch. You are now in
the Alarm feature ‘Shock Sensor’ programming mode.
3. Press and hold lock button for 2 seconds. One long siren or horn chirp to
indicates the unit is ready to accept adjustments of the shock sensor.
4. Press unlock button on the transmitter once. This will decrease the sensitivity
level by one step. Each time the button is pushed, a decrease is made the
siren /horn chirp will respond with [1] chirp, while 2 chirp indicates
minimum sensitivity.
5. Press lock button on the transmitter once. This will increase sensitivity level
by one step. Each time an increase is made the siren/horn chirp will
respond with [1] chirp, while 2 chirp indicates maximum sensitivity.
6. Hit the bumper or strong metal part of the vehicle to test the threshold level
of the sensor.
a). Activate the warn-away (first stage the shock sensor), the siren or horn
will emit a short chirp.
b). Activate the full alarm (second stage the shock sensor), the siren or
horn will emit a long chirp.
7. When you are satisfied with the setting, press the trunk button to lock in the
adjustment. One long siren or horn or horn chirp will indicate the unit has
locked in the adjustment.
Note: If 30 seconds of inactivity expires, or you turn on the ignition during of
above steps, the unit will exit the program mode and return to the disarmed
mode. Three long chirps will confirm exit.

The above is from page 5 of your OPERATIONS MANUAL. 94

Thanks, let me try this out.. Now it this manual out of an auto page RF 225A??

I can not find any manual for a RF225A, that is from the RF225.

Where are you getting that model number from?

This is all the Autopage alarms, remote starts, keyless entry and combo units...

Oh right sorry for the confusion.. let me try it out..

I would also recommend adding more sensors.

I have a Autopage 425, with 2 add on shock sensors, if anything its too sensitive but isn't that the point.

I also secure my sensors to some sort of sheet metal via screws, Ive never liked shock sensors "securely fastened" aka zip tied to a harness.

@DB8 RHD you don't want it too sensitive because it gets real annoying after a while of your alarm going off because a cat farted next to it. I have just the stock RF-425 shock sensor along with kill switches. I want to know that when my car alarm goes off it's because someone is in my car, and well you do what you gotta do after that point. I had a sensitive *** Viper 2 way with extra sensor it was cool at first but after a while it just got old. My brother has a Code Alarm on his Cobra sensitive as **** annoying!
