Reed Switch Setting
Adjusting the Shock Sensor
DIP Switches
The following describes the DIP switch functions:
❑
DIP Switches 1 and 2—adjust the Pulse Count.
❑
DIP Switches 3 and 4—adjust the sensitivity setting of
Gross Attack detection.
❑
DIP Switch 5—enable/disable reed switch.
❑
DIP Switch 6—not used.
Note
In order for the LED to indicate shock detection while
adjusting the sensitivity, be sure the reed switch is dis-
abled (DIP switch 5 OFF) or that the magnet is lined up
with the reed switch if DIP switch 5 is ON.
Gross Attack Adjustment
1. To adjust the sensor for Gross Attack, set DIP switches
1 and 2 to the ON position. This disables the Pulse
Count so that the unit can only be activated by a Gross
Attack.
2. Apply high level shocks to the mounting structure, using
the LED as a guide to when the alarm trips (LED on for
4 seconds).
The LED will blink for 1 second every time the sensor
detects a pulse. A shock that is severe enough to cause
an alarm will cause the LED to light for approximately 4
seconds.
3. Use switches 3 and 4 to adjust the Gross Attack sensitiv-
ity of the sensor (see Table 1).
4. Repeat step 2 each time you make a sensitivity change.
Pulse Count Adjustment
1. Set the sensor to the desired Pulse Count (see Table 2).
Note
Pulse Count signals are counted at 1-second intervals
and stored in a 30-second digital memory. These small
signals can detect an intruder gently prying open a win-
dow or door frame.
2. To test the pulse count setting, generate small shocks on
the mounting structure. Each time a shock is detected, a
pulse is registered in memory and the LED will blink for
one second. If the programmed pulse count is reached
within the most recent 30 seconds, the alarm will trip
and the LED will light for approximately 4 seconds. If
the alarm trips for any reason, the stored pulses are can-
celled.
3. Use switches 1 and 2 to adjust the Pulse Count.
4. Repeat step 2 each time you make a sensitivity change.
Reed Switch Setting
After adjusting the sensor sensitivity, set DIP switch 5 to the
appropriate setting, ON for enabled or OFF for disabled.
System Programming
This section describes the basic steps for adding the sensor
to panel memory. Refer to the specific panel installation
instructions for complete programming details.
The reed switch must be enabled and open when learning
the sensor.
1. With the cover on the sensor, set the panel to Program
mode.
2. Proceed to the Learn Sensors menu.
3. Select the appropriate sensor group and sensor number
assignments.
4. When prompted by the panel to trip the sensor, remove
the sensor cover to activate the tamper switch.
5. Exit program mode.
RF Testing
This section describes the basic steps for testing the sensor.
Refer to the specific panel or receiver installation instruc-
tions for complete testing details.
1. Set the panel to Sensor Test.
2. Trip the sensor.
3. Listen for appropriate response from system sirens.
4. Exit Sensor Test.
Battery Replacement
When the system indicates that the sensor has a low battery,
remove the old battery and install a new battery (Duracell
DL123A or a Sanyo CR123A) into the battery holder,
observing proper polarity.
Caution!
Replace only with a Duracell DL123A battery or a Sanyo
CR123A battery. Observe polarity when installing a new
battery. Installing the battery backwards may cause
damage to the sensor.
Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer’s
instructions and/or local government authorities.
