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.
