NSTALLATION 

 

 

 

 

The model E20 Limpet Set (1 Limpet and 1 Keep) should be installed by adopting the following 
procedure:- 
 

1.

 

Fix the keep to the surface of the equipment to be protected, using a contact adhesive 

and/or three 2BA countersunk screws of suitable length.  The keep can be mounted in 
any attitude. 

 

2.

 

Remove the cover from the limpet, by unscrewing the four 4BA x head screws. 

 

3.

 

Thread the wires of the alarm loops through the grommet provided in the cover, and 

make the necessary connections to the terminal block.  The connections should be 
made as shown on the PCB, ensuring that the power supply leads are connected the 
correct way round. The reset can be either positive or negative triggered and should 
be connected to the appropriate positive or negative reset point.

PERATION

 

 

 

The limpet will enter its alarm condition when either of the conditions below are met: 
 

 

Any of the reed or tamper switches are opened. 

 

 

The internal temperature rises above 60

°

  

 

 

An impact or vibration triggers the vibration detector.  

 

 

The alarm signal has a minimum length of 1 second. However, if the tamper lasts for more that a 
second,  the  alarm  signal  will  last  as  long  as  the  tamper.  The  LED  illuminating  indicates  alarm 
detection. The LED remains on until a reset signal is received. The LED will initialise 

off

 at power 

on, and the remote alarm 

will activate

 for more than 

1 second

, as a confidence feature. The unit 

will trigger an alarm even when the LED is illuminated. 
 
The vibration detector sensitivity adjustment is provided by means of the pre-set potentiometer 
R1 (top right hand of PCB). Turn anticlockwise for maximum sensitivity.
