Figure 3. Positioning shock element according to
mounting orientation on a vertical surface
On a horizontal surface (sill or ledge), any orientation is
allowed, but certain sensor element orientations are better
than others. The element is much better at detecting hori-
zontal vibrations perpendicular to its writing than parallel
(see Figure 4).

surface mounting
Tools and Supplies
❑
Control panel installation instructions
❑
Phillips screwdriver
❑
Slotted screwdriver (to pry off the cover)
❑
Two #6 x 3/4” flathead screws for mounting the sensor
(included)
❑
Two #6 x 5/8” screws for mounting the magnet

Installation
Caution!
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.
1. Insert a slotted screwdriver into the slot at the top end of
the unit and remove the cover (see Figure 5).
Figure 5. Remove the sensor cover
2. Using the flathead mounting screws, secure the base to
the mounting surface either vertically or horizontally as
required (see Figure 6).
Figure 6. Sensor base mounting holes
3. Position the shock element and press it firmly into its
socket (see Figure 7).
4. If using the reed switch, use the two remaining screws
to mount the magnet so that its arrow is aligned with the
arrow on the sensor case (see Figure 7).
Figure 7. Magnet alignment
Important! You must disable the reed switch if you
are not using it. If the reed switch is enabled but no
magnet is installed, the sensor will be in a continuous
alarm state.
