particular operation. The sequence must be repeated each time if it is desired to cancel the arm/disarm chirp sound.

3. PANIC FUNCTION

The RF-502 remote control may be used as a remote panic switch to trigger the siren in cases of emergency. To activate the PANIC

FUNCTION press and hold the ON/OFF button on the remote transmitter for a minimum of 3 seconds. The siren will sound. To stop the PANIC

FUNCTION press the ON/OFF button on the transmitter.

4. DELETING THE PRE-WARNING SENSOR CIRCUIT (If installed)

The RF-502 offers the dual stage SIS-5 impact sensor to pre-warn a light impact on the vehicle with a siren chirp before triggering the alarm.

The alarm will trigger with the third violation within 15 seconds. The RF-

502 also provides a pre-warnng s ensor input for an additional sensor like a radar sensor to pre-warn approach to the vehicle.

To delete the pre-warning sensor, press the button again within 5 seconds after arming. The siren will confirm deletion with a low chirp.

NOTE: Deleted sensor(s) will return to normal operation upon disarming the RF-502. Sensor(s) deletion procedure must be followed each time the RF-502 is armed. This operation deletes only the prewarning sensor of the alarm.

NOTE: This pre-warning feature is set inactive by the factory, and must be activated at the time of installation if this feature is desired.

5. CHANGING THE REMOTE TRANSMITTER BATTERY

The RF-502 remote transmitter uses one (1) 12 volt miniature battery,

#EL12, #VR22, or Radio Shack #23-144. It will provide approximately one year of operation before replacement is necessary.

2

RF-502

To replace the battery, carefully remove the case screw located at the end of the remote where the key ring attaches to the case.

Use a small blade Phillips screwdriver.

Before removing the battery note the direction of its terminals. Install the new battery exactly the same, using caution so as not to bend, or otherwise damage the

+ battery contacts. Replace the case cover and carefully tighten the screw.

Do not over-tighten the screw! Test the transmitter to insure it arms and disarms the alarm.

B. LED STATUS INDICATOR OPERATION

AUTOPAGE ALARM ACCESSORIES

AP-4000DX Paging System

Vehicle security paging was originated by AutoPage over 18 years ago.

The AP4000DX is our latest version providing a full four watts of output power to signal a handsome belt-clip paging receiver indicating your

RF-502 has been triggered, even if you cannot hear the siren.

RS-32 Dual Stage Perimeter Protection Sensor

The RS-32 utilizes microwave technology that emits dual protective fields. The easy and separate adjusment of the exterior and interior fields allows the RF-502 to be armed and provide maximum protecti on in convertible vehicles parked with the top down, and equally good protection in enclosed vehicles.

SIS-3 Glass/Shock Sensor

Our top selling and extremely reliable electronic glass/shock sensor, the

SIS-3 can be finely adjusted for each installation, from sports cars to trucks. When properly adjusted, it virtually eliminates false triggers typically caused by inferior sensors.

SIS-10 Air Movement Sensor

The SIS-10 super low frequency vibration sensor has successfully integrated an electret electrostatic transducer and low pass filter, creating a new and cost effective air movement sensor. If installed in a closed vehicle, any movement of air inside the vehicle which may be caused by opening a door will trigger the sensor. Applications of the

SIS-10 are limitless. It will be ideal to monitor a vehicle’s doors, trunk or hatch, an RV, a closed cabin on a vessel and so on. The SIS-10 can also replace glass breakage sensors. The advantage of the SIS-10 is that a single SIS-10 can cover all the doors, rear hatch, windows and sun roof even if there is no pin switch. Like other AutoPage SIS

10

RF-502

sensors, the SIS-10 has a LED and potentiometer for easy sensitivity adjustment.

MSEN-KIT

The MSEN-KIT includes two pre-wired Micro Resonance Sensors and a special triggering amplifier. These special sensors are designed to be mounted within the vehicle door or on the door post near the latching mechanism that keeps the door closed. When properly adjusted, they will respond to the frequency caused by metal-to-m etal contact, such as a lock pick, screwdriver, or professional door opening tools inserted into the door for attempted illegal entry into the vehicle. the MSEN-KIT sensors are designed to provide limited coverage to specific areas.

They should be used in conjunction with other AutoPage sensors for maximum protection capabilities.

AC68 Power Window Module

The AC68 Power Window Control Module will control the up or down motion of two power windows, or one power window and a power sunroof.

RK-1 Relay Kit

A pre-wired relay and socket for starter interrupt and other functions of the RF-502.
