Autopage RS-325 Installation & Operation Manual

Brand: Autopage

Model: RS-325

Type: Installation & Operation Manual

Autopage RS-325 is a dual-stage perimeter sensor that uses microwave frequency to detect field disturbance within a contained area. It is ideal for detecting a violation into convertibles and any open space, which does not have physical protective barriers. The RS-325 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.

RS-325 DUAL STAGE PERIMETER SENSOR

INSTALLATION / OPERATION MANUAL

The RS-325 uses a microwave frequency to detect field disturbance within a

contained area. The RS-325 is ideal for detecting a violation into convertibles

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

325 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-325

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

security system to be used with.

The RS-325 is specially designed to work with all Autopage alarms and paging

systems.

The position of the RS-325 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-325 can be mounted under a console, under a seat, or

under carpet. Careful positioning is required to insure that a passenger will not

step on the RS-325.

RED = Connect to constant 12 VOLT source.

BLACK = Connect to vehicle GROUND. Please connect this wire to a constant

stable ground. * DO NOT USE SWITCHED GROUND FROM SENSOR PLUG*

GREEN = Pre-Warning (-) trigger. Connect to GREEN wire from the AutoPage

alarm shock sensor port. (*)

BLUE = Main (-) trigger. Connect to BLUE wire from an AutoPage alarm shock

sensor port. (*)

(*) Diodes may be needed to isolate the trigger connection when tied in together with a

shock sensor.

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-325 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.

2. Interior Adjustment

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 the interior protection portion of the RS-325 detects a disturbance, 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.
