Proper Mounting Tips. Mounting the 866F alarm unit on its side (with

the siren facing to the side instead of straight up) may cause sensitivity

problems for the onboard tilt sensor. Prior to mounting, it is recom-

mended that you rst test the operation of the tilt sensor to conrm it

will work in your intended mounting position. To help you decide an

appropriate mounting position, please consider Fig. 1 below.

Positioning the alarm unit for maximum tilt sensitivity

FIG. 1

As shown, the tilt sensor achieves maximum sensitivity when the siren

is mounted face-up. Sensitivity declines rapidly for tilt angles outside

the ±45° shown (on two axis).

For some bikes, vertical mounting may be the only means of installing

the alarm unit. In this case the tilt sensor may still work, but the sen-

sitivity will be adversely affected. This may or may not be acceptable to

the user. However, you must avoid mounting the alarm unit face down

because it may cause the tilt sensor to false-trigger the siren.

4. Now it’s time to connect the Status LED. Note

that there are two “2-pin” connectors at end of the

alarm unit harness. The larger of the two plugs

is for connecting to an optional paging system. The

smaller connector is the one you plug into the LED

connector.
