Digital Dual-Zone Proximity Sensor 4

The IntelliGuard 8000 is equipped with our unique Digital Dual-Zone Proximity Sensor that uses digital signal processing to detect
movement inside the passenger compartment and very near the vehicle. If a thief were to break a window and either enter or lean
into the passenger compartment, the primary zone of this sensor would trigger the full alarm. However, if a thief brought his hands
and face to the window a warning tone would sound.  

Be aware that the Proximity Sensor uses radar waves to detect movement. These waves pass through nonmetallic materials like
plastic, carpet, glass and wood. However, metal and metallic-colored paint, metallic-colored plastic and even some metallic window
tinting materials will interfere with or completely block the radar waves. As such, it is not unusual that the Proximity Sensor zones
require some adjustment after installation. In some instances, you may need to try a different location for the sensor.  

Since any metal ob jects above or near the Prox im ity Sen sor will have a sig nifi cant im pact on op era tion, warn

your customer never to place coins, CDs, cas settes (due to the iron ox ide tape) or other me tal lic ob jects above
or near where the sen sor is mounted.

1. Turn off any fluorescent lights that may interfere with the sensitivity testing of the IntelliGuard 8000’s radar sensor.

2.

Disarm

 the system with the remote control.

3. Transmit channel 

16

 on the master remote (LevelShift three times, then button 4). You will hear one chirp and the LED  will turn on.

4. Test the Proximity Sensor’s 

primary

 zone by rapidly leaning through an open window into the passenger compartment. You will

hear a siren chirp when the primary zone is triggered. This should not occur near the window, but instead when you would be in a
position to touch the car stereo. 
To change the sensitivity of the primary zone, press and release 

button 2 to increase

 sensitivity or 

button 4 to decrease

 sensitivity. 

To rapidly increase or decrease several steps, press and hold the button. For each sensitivity increase, you will hear a higher and
higher pitched confirmation chirp. For each sensitivity decrease, you will hear a lower and lower pitched confirmation chirp. Two
LoudChirps indicate minimum and maximum settings of the 32-step range of settings. You may now press 

button 3

 to adjust the

warning zone, or press 

button 1

 to fully exit the Proximity Sensor adjustment mode (you will hear 3 chirps).
