Default Help with alarm

I got a viper 690xv responder installed in my '00 transam and I was wondering how you adjust the sensitivity on them, I found a shock sensor and the main cpu thing for the alarm but I dont see anything thats for adjustments, i just see a bunch of wire harnesses plugged into the cpu, no sensitivity screw or anything, any help is appreciated thanks

Default re alarm

if it is a newer model, the shock sensor will be a little clear box with an orange adj screw on the side.

Some older alarms had onboard shock sensors and some code alarms still do. Most newer dei alarms (viper, python, hornet, etc.) have outboard, little clear box, probably 2in by 2in., the adj screw on side kind of hard to see, uses a phillips head or you could probably fit a tiny flat head to make adj. Let me know if you need anymore help.
