Autopage RS-32 Installation & Operation Manual

Brand: Autopage

Model: RS-32

Type: Installation & Operation Manual

Autopage RS-32 is an advanced perimeter sensor that utilizes microwave frequency to detect field disturbances within a contained area, making it ideal for protecting convertibles and open spaces lacking physical barriers. Its unique Pre-Warning circuit can detect approach to the vehicle before a break-in, providing early alerts. Easily adjustable sensitivity levels for both interior and exterior zones allow for customized protection. The RS-32 seamlessly integrates with AutoPage alarms and paging systems, offering dedicated sensor and Pre-Warning inputs.

RS-32 DUAL STAGE PERIMETER SENSOR

INSTALLATION/OPERATION MANUAL

The RS-32 uses a microwave frequency to detect field disturbance within a

contained area. The RS-32 is ideal for detecting a violation into convertibles

and any open space which does not have physical protective barriers. The RS-

32 is also effective with conventional vehicles against intrusion or glass

breakage when a shock sensor fails to trigger. Its unique Pre-Warning circuit

can detect approach to the vehicle before a break-in actually occurs. The RS-

32 can be used as a single stage sensor or a dual stage sensor depending on

the security system to be used with.

The RS-32 is specially designed to work with the AutoPage alarms and paging

systems.

NOTE: AutoPage systems (RF301, RF501, AP5500) provide a dedicated

sensor input (PINK) and Pre-Warning input (BLUE/WHITE). However, only the

main sensor input (PINK) is available on the AP40000DX.

The position of the RS-32 is critical for its optimum performance. The ultra high

frequency wave will penetrate carpet, plastic, glass, wood, or fabric; it will not go

through metals. The RS-32 can be mounted under a console, under a seat, or

under carpet. Careful positioning is required to insure that the RS-32 will not be

stepped on by a passenger.

RED = Connect to constant 12 VOLT source.

BLACK = Connect to vehicle GROUND.

PINK = Main unit trigger. Connect to PINK from an AutoPage alarm.

BLUE = Pre-Warning trigger. Connect to BLUE/WHITE from an AutoPage alarm

(optional).

NOTE: When used with other accessories (e.g., shock sensor) or switches that

share the same negative input of the alarm, an isolation diode (IN4001) must

be added to protect the RS-32. If used with an AutoPage SIS-3, we recommend

two diodes be added to protect both sensors.

1. External Adjustment

Adjust the EXTERNAL (Pre-Warning) first. This is important and will affect the

internal sensitivity adjustment. For more sensitivity adjust the Pre-Warning

potentiometer CLOCKWISE. For less sensitivity adjust the Pre-Warning

potentiometer COUNTER-CLOCKWISE. The external trigger LED (GREEN) will

light each time movement is detected within the field. Allow a minimum of five

(5) seconds between adjustments.

The Pre-Warning will respond with a chirp from the alarm siren each time the

Pre-Warning field is disturbed. If the disturbance continues, the Pre-Warning

will chirp the AutoPage alarm siren up to three (3) times within 15 seconds,

and trigger the alarm immediately after the third chirp. If only one or two

disturbances takes place, and is no longer detected, the RS-32 will reset to

allow its three chirp Pre-Warning feature to continue outside protection. The

reset time is pre-set by the factory at 4 seconds.

After the external field adjustment is made, adjust the interior potentiometer in

the same manner until the desired coverage is achieved. In order to isolate the

interior coverage for easy adjustment, delete the Pre-Warning of the AutoPage

alarm by pressing the arming button on the remote within five (5) seconds after

arming. If a disturbance is detected by the interior protection portion of the RS-

32, the interior LED (RED) will light and the alarm will immediately trigger. After

the interior adjustment is completed, check the exterior field again.

NOTE: If either of the LED’s remains lit after installation, readjust or relocate the

sensor.

WARNING: Although the RS-32 is designed to be stable in its performance, the field disturbance sensors in general tend to have

false alarms.
