Note: 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 recommended that you
rst test the operation of the tilt sensor to conrm it will work in your
intended mounting position. To help you decide an appropriate mount-
ing 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.
Now it’s time to connect the Status LED. Note
that there are two “2-pin” connectors on end of the
alarm unit harness. The larger of the two, with or-
ange & black wires, is for connecting to the optional
pager system. The smaller connector, with red & blue
wires, is the one you plug into the LED connector.
