    hi there. we've had bad rain again lately and ive noticed my warn-away on the ai606 going a bit loopy and chirping every minute or so.

    do i just need to turn the external sensitivity down?

    When it rains hard just turn it off.

    i had to the other week. i didnt used to before, so ive pulled the box out and turned down the sensitivity a bit and also repositioned the sensors so that the sunvisors no longer catch them. weight distribution should be better also

    When you arm the alarm, press the arm button twice within 5 sec iirc. This will set the alarm without the warn away on. Also you can press the arm button three times and again iirc this will set the alarm without warn away and ultrasonic/or just without ultrasonic.

    yup, did have to do that when the rain was really coming down.

    ive since turned the sensitivity down a touch and it seems much better :)

    Sensitivity is an issue on Dualzone microwaves as long as the ext sensor is highr than interior you should be ok
