Introduction
This is the GE
Shock Sensor 868 GEN2 Installation Instructions
for
models TX-5011-03-1, TX-5011-03-3, RF5011-03-1, and RF5011-03-3.
The shock sensor has the following functions:
• To detect the vibrations made by an intruder trying to break a
window or door.
• To detect a window or door opening.
• To detect tamper situations, such as an intruder removing the
sensor cover or sensor from the wall.
Vibrations cause a momentary open circuit in the shock element of
the sensor. The circuit closes again when the vibration stops. The
sensor micro controller
sees
the open/close action as a pulse,
causing the sensor to transmit an alarm signal. The sensor has two
detection modes:
Gross Attack.
Detects a violent blow sufficient in length to trip
the sensor.
Pulse Count.
Detects a sufficient number of less violent blows
(rapping or tapping).
The sensor includes an internal magnetic reed switch to detect door/
window openings.
Note:
The sensor will not send a shock alarm if the reed switch or
external contact switch is already in alarm condition.
The sensor is powered by a single 3-volt lithium battery.
Tools and supplies
You will need the following tools and supplies:
• Control panel documentation.
• Phillips screwdriver.
• Slotted screwdriver (to open the cover).
• Magnet hardware kit that includes a magnet, one #6 x 0.625 in.
(1.5 cm) screw, one plastic wall anchor, a magnet cover, and a
magnet chassis for mounting the magnet.
• Product hardware kit that includes two #6 x 1 in. (2.5 cm)
screws, two plastic wall anchors, and one small 0.25 in. (0.6 cm)
screw.
Installation guidelines
Use the following installation guidelines:
• Program (learn) the sensor before adjusting the shock sensi-
tivity.
• Before permanently mounting the sensor, test it at the intended
location to make sure the panel receives sensor signals.
• Always mount the shock sensor on the frame, not on the glass.
• Mount the sensor where the structure can transmit vibrations
to the sensor.
• You can mount the sensor (
C
in Figure
1
) on a vertical wall
surface (
A
) or on a horizontal ledge surface (
B
).
• To prevent false alarms, make sure the window fits snugly in the
frame and doesn’t move or rattle.
• Hold the sensor base against the frame to make sure the sensor
base fits on the surface area of the frame and doesn’t extend
over the surface edges.
Base installation
To install the sensor base, do the following:
1.
Insert a slotted screwdriver into the slot (
C
in Figure
2
) at the
top end of the unit and remove the cover (
A
) by lifting it up .
2.
Align the base with the two mounting holes (
A
in Figure
3
) and
use the two panhead screws to secure the base to the
mounting surface.
3.
Mount the magnet aligning the arrow on the magnet housing
with the arrow in the middle of the base (Figure
3
). Place the
lock washer between the plastic base and the mounting surface
to reduce rotation of the magnet housing.
4.
Mount a screw in the tamper hole (
B
in Figure
3
) to enable the
pry-off and opening tamper.
Cover installation
To customize the cover settings and install the cover, do the
following:
1.
Position the shock element (
D
in Figure
4
) with the flat side of
the diamond downward, and press it firmly into the socket.
Vertical surface (
A
in Figure
4
).
The shock sensor element
must always be positioned with the flat side of the diamond
pointed down.
Horizontal surface (
B
in Figure
4
).
Any position is allowed,
but certain sensor element positions are better than others. The
element is much better at detecting horizontal vibrations
perpendicular to the flat side of the diamond than it is parallel
vibrations.
2.
Insert the battery into the battery bucket (
E
in Figure
4
)
observing the polarity on the plastic inner cover.
3.
Select the internal reed switch setting using the jumper.
• To activate the reed switch on the left side of the sensor as
it will be installed, put the jumper (
A
in Figure
5
) over the
two right pins (as viewed from the open cover).
• To activate the reed switch on the right side of the sensor
as it will be installed, put the jumper (
A
in Figure
6
) over
the two left pins (as viewed from the open cover).
• To disable the reed switches, put the jumper on the middle
pin only or set the jumper aside.
4.
Use the DIP switches (
F
in Figure
4
) to set the sensitivity of the
detection modes. The shock sensor has the following detection
modes:
Gross attack.
The gross attack mode detects a violent blow
sufficient in length to trip the sensor. Set the DIP switches as
described in
Table 1
.
Pulse count.
The pulse count mode detects a sufficient number
of less violent blows (rapping or tapping) that trip the sensor. If
the pulse count is reached within the most recent 30 seconds,
the sensor goes into alarm. Set the DIP switches as described in
Table 2
.
5.
Test the correct installation of the shock sensor with LED feed-
back.
a.
Put the cover on top of the base.
b.
Upon closure, the LED (
B
in Figure
2
) provides feedback
on the status of the reed switches:
• Reed switch closed: LED is off.
• Reed switch opened: LED is on.
c.
Test the sensitivity settings applying shocks.
• To test the pulse count setting, generate small shocks on
the mounting surface. Each time a shock is detected, a
pulse is registered in memory and the LED lights for 250
mseconds. If the pulse count is reached within the most
recent 30 seconds, the sensor goes into alarm and the LED
blinks 250 mseconds on/off during 4 seconds. If the sensor
goes into alarm for any reason, any stored pulses are
cleared.
• To test the gross attack setting, apply high level shocks to
the mounting surface. A shock severe enough to put the
sensor into gross attack alarm causes the LED to blink 250
mseconds on/off during 4 seconds.
6.
In order to install your wireless system according to EN50131-1,
secure the sensor cover using the screw (provided) in the cover
screw hole (
D
in Figure
2
).

Installation Instructions
You must be free of all static electricity when handling
electronic components. Touch a grounded, bare metal
surface before touching a circuit board or wear a
grounded wrist strap.
