Can I adjust the sensitivity of the shock sensor?

 

Yeah i have the same question on my Phython2 460HP?

 

id say so cuz i have a python 680xp and the guy that installed it said if i need it more sensative just bring it back

 

K thanks but you don't know how to do it yourself do you?
TIA

 

na sorry but there was this thread i posted and someone told me how to do it but i cant find it i guess its too old

 

found it. ill just copy n paste wat the dude told me.

Not sure if that unit has an internal or external shock sensor, but first find the brain. Check the brain for a **** on the back side. If there is a ****, then great, that is your shock sensor adjustment, adjust it at will. If not, look for a 4 pin harness that has red, blue, green, black wires in it and follow that to a little clear cube. That is the shock sensor and can be adjusted by the orange screw on the side. If adjusting it doesn't help, that means it probably isn't mounted well and should be remounted. Some say mount it to metal, DEI says a main harness. Both work.

hope u can try it urself

 

Thanks man

 

I found the brain and there is an adjuster **** on the side of it. CarToys did a retarded job on installing it. No wonder they only took 30 mins. They just stashed the brain in the kickpanel along with the antenna which gave my remote horrible range.

 

What way do you turn the **** to make the brain more sensitive?

 

To the right.

 

K Thanks. I have always wanted to make my alarm more sensitive and im probaly going to buy a glass break sensor too.

clockwise = more sen. counter clockwide = less sen., the ****/setscrew moves about 250 to 300 degrees from pin to pin, 1 or 2 degrees of movement will make a difference. 94

 

I turned mine all the way to the right.

 

^Dude you're going to get so many false alarms. I think I might get the glass and vertical sensor alarms too.

 

Yeah thats what i was thinking so i might just turn down the sensitive a little bit.

 

A good test to see if senser is mounted properly, easy to trip all over car,[without adjustment being set too high] but able to kick tire hard,without tripping alarm

How hard is it to mount a proxy sensor and a glass break sensor for this type of alarm?

 

From what I read on the glass break installation guide all you do is plug two cables, one to the brain and one to the shock sensor or both to the brain if it has an on-board shock sensor. The glass sensor is merely a microphone that listns for glass breaking I think.

center consel, no metal above it, it can also be installed in headliner pointing down. 94

 

I think im just going to get the glass break sensor but thanks on your guys help.

 

^Let us know how it works out. I am thinking about getting one too.

Yeah sure will. I just have to find a place that sells one around my area.

 

Check CarToys. eBay also has them.
