Setup und Installation

Proper installation is crucial for the alarm's effectiveness and longevity. Follow these steps carefully:

1. Prepare the Alarm Unit: Place the provided double-sided stickers on the back of the alarm unit. Then, attach the silver heat guard tape onto the double-sided stickers, followed by the white heat guard tape on top of the silver tape. This creates a triple-layer insulation for heat protection.





2. Cool Down Vehicle: Ensure your vehicle's exhaust system is completely cool before beginning installation to prevent burns.
3. Position the Alarm: Run the stainless steel straps through each end of the alarm unit. Attach the alarm securely to the vehicle's connecting pipe or tailpipe.
4. Important Placement Note: NICHT place the alarm directly in front of the catalytic converter or muffler. These components become extremely hot during vehicle operation, which can damage the alarm despite its heat insulation. Install the alarm further down the exhaust system on a cooler section of the connecting pipe or tailpipe.



5. Sichern Sie die Gurte: Tighten the stainless steel straps firmly around the pipe. Once secured, fold each strap back or cut off any excess length to prevent snagging or rattling.
