Adjusting Dual zone sensors

How does one adjust sensors? I have a glass sensor, a dual zone shock sensor I want to tune. I put ALL the sensors to the MAX but they don't fire when I kick the tires even real hard. They go off when I close the door. (My door trigger isn't connected yet so it isn't the door trigger I know, plus there are lights on my sensors which also go off at that time).    

How to test/set the two different zones? Or is my alarm not working?

remount the shock sensor.  does it have LEDs in the case?  if it does, mount it with a mirror infront of it (so you can see the LEDs from where you walk), walk to the trunk and hit it about as hard as a car door bumping it.  that should trigger the warn away chirp which is the same as a LED blink.  when the LED is solid thats a full trigger.  it should blink/solid even when not armed.  if you dont have a LED on yours, zip tie it really tight to factory wires and make sure you have it turned up, not all the way down on accident.

Yes they all (my 3 sensors) have 1 or 2 LEDs in the case depending on if they are single or dual zone. I wish there was a way to perfect this procedure instead of doing it by trial and error. Maybe they have some vibration platforms where they can set the platform to a specific level of vibration set by a digital metered dial. I guess that's just a wish.

When you turn the dials all the way to the max, does it have to trigger or not? Just drives me curious.

Good point. I know there is a "full arm" delay and I completely forgot to check that. Thanks blankman!
