will
not
trigger
the
system.
This
loop
wire
should
be
cut
only
if
you
want
to
protect
the
vehicle
from
sudden
impacts
to
the
glass
or
body
panels,
but
do
not
want
the
alarm
to
trigger
when
a
door
has

ADJUSTING
THE
SENSITIVITY
OF
THE
SHOCK
SENSOR
The
purpose
of
a
shock
detector
is
to
“sense”
strong
impacts
to
the
vehicle’s
glass
and
body
panels,
but
ignore
light
bumps
to
the
vehicle.
This
alarm
is
programmed
to
report
these
impacts
in
two
w a y s .
A
lighter
impact
will
cause
the
alarm
to
sound
a
series
of
short
“chirps”,
warning
anyone
tam-
pering
with
the
vehicle
to
stop
i m m e d i a t e l y .
A
more
forceful
impact
will
cause
the
alarm
to
sound
for
it’s
full
60
second
cycle,
informing
you
that
a
serious
violation
attempt
has
occurred.
IMPORTANT
!
Setting
the
sen-
sitivity
of
the
shock
sensor
too
high
will
cause
false
alarms.
A
substantial
amount
of
force
is
required
to
actually
break
automotive
glass,
and
the
shock
sensor
should
be
set
accord-
i n g l y .
