Over sensitive alarm??

[SimonBradley]

Only had the car 2 days! When its in the garage the alarm keeps going off for no reason. Any ideas????

[S3DaveP]

Does the garage door move in the wind? my alarm goes off when i open the garage door, and sometimes if i look at in an aggressive way! so i think they are fairly sensitive.

Make sure all the windows are fully shut and the door switches are being pushed in fully by the doors.

Why do you need the alarm on when its in a garage?

[SimonBradley]

No the garage is pretty air tight theres no draft?

I will need the alarm on when im out though so i dont want it going off all the time.

You may find that your insurance will not cover you if the alarm is not on, even in the garage, worth a call to check....

IIRC there is a potentiometer that you can turn down to desensitise it, now I can't really be too sure if it's always hidden in the same place.

If there is one then the guy that will know is Carl (the meta man)

Suggest you give him a bell and ask, if he knows then you'll probably get the info over the phone.

HTH.

There is indeed a unit/pot.meter, that you can turn down to reduce sensitivity.
On my Chim it was located .
It stated clearly thet it was a Meta component. Word of caution - Carl gave me a small plastic screwdriver to adjust the pot with, said metal tools will interfere with setting.

Apparently factory setting was always at MAX!!

Nick sorry for the edit, mine was in the same position I just didn't want to spell it out on a public forum.

Could you email him that bit.
