Extended Range Antenna (MS8300)
Mount the extended range antenna to the front windshield behind the rear view mirror for
best operation. Be sure that this area is clean and free of any metallic window tint film. In
certain vehicles such as those equipped with a heated windshield or a built-in windshield
defroster, the antenna should be mounted on a rear or side window. Mount the antenna at
least 2 inches below the roof line.
Logic Sensor II
The Logic Sensor II, included with the system, is designed to be mounted in the interior of
the vehicle using a tie wrap or double sided tape. Be sure to avoid mounting the sensor to
sources of strong electrical interference such as cellular phone transceivers or the vehicle’s
engine computer.
Suggested mounting locations are an air conditioning duct, or a dashboard or center
console support brace.
Shock and Motion
When mounted horizontally, the Logic Sensor II will detect both shock and motion. The
Logic Sensor II’s motion detection is most effective on the axis on which it is mounted,
which means that careful selection of the mounting location of the sensor will help to
insure it’s effectiveness.
Shock Only
When mounted vertically, the Logic Sensor will detect shock or impacts to the vehicle
only and will be unaffected by slow rocking movements of the vehicle. This is
especially useful in vehicles that are normally parked in areas subject to high wind or
parked in tall parking structures that tend to move or sway.
