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 activatethe 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 sensor 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 pre-
warning 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.

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 protection
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

RF-502
11
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-metal 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.
ES6
As an option to the standard single tone siren package, a six tone siren
is available at additional cost.
XT-54 EXTRA REMOTE CONTROL TRANSMITTER
Additional/Replacement remote control transmitter.
