System Check

  1. With light and ignition switches "Off" and Sentinel "On", cover photocell and turn ignition on. Lights should turn on within 10 seconds.
  2. Remove cover from photocell and shine bright light (flashlight) on photocell. Lights should turn off within 10-60 seconds.
  3. Cover photocell again and allow time (10-60 seconds) for lights to turn on. Turn ignition switch off and lights should remain on for 1 1/2-4 1/2 minutes and then turn off.
  4. With ignition off and key removed (to prevent ignition buzzer from sounding), turn regular light switch to park or headlight position. Open a door and warning buzzer should sound.
  5. Satisfactory performance of tests 1 through 4 indicates unit is operating properly. If unit is operating properly but turn on time is incorrect, make minor Sensitivity Adjustment.
