The primary function of the TVIP V2 Glass Breakage Sensor is to detect the sound frequency of breaking glass, which triggers the vehicle's alarm system to deter theft or vandalism.
To test the sensor, park the vehicle in a quiet environment, arm the alarm system, and then gently tap on the glass with a metal object. The alarm should sound if the sensor detects the vibration and frequency of breaking glass.
The sensitivity of the glass breakage sensor is typically preset and not adjustable. If sensitivity issues arise, consult a professional technician to ensure proper functionality.
If false alarms occur, check for nearby sources of loud noises or vibrations that might mimic the sound of breaking glass. If the issue persists, have a professional inspect the sensor for faults.
The glass breakage sensor is typically installed near the rearview mirror or within the headliner of the vehicle. Refer to the vehicle's manual for the exact location.
Yes, aftermarket glass breakage sensors can be installed. However, ensure compatibility with the existing alarm system and consider professional installation for optimal performance.
Routinely check for dust or debris accumulation around the sensor and clean as necessary. Regularly test the sensor to confirm its functionality and address any issues promptly.
Common signs include frequent false alarms, failure to trigger the alarm when glass is broken, or no response during testing. If any of these occur, have the sensor inspected.
Extreme weather conditions, such as heavy rain or strong winds, can potentially affect sensor performance by causing vibrations that mimic breaking glass. Ensure the sensor is properly calibrated to minimize false alarms.
Before replacing the sensor, verify that it is truly faulty and not being affected by external factors. Consider having a professional diagnose the issue and ensure any replacement is compatible with the vehicle's alarm system.
