Tamper
The BW-PGH has separate built-in wall and case tampers.
Enable or disable the wall tamper by fastening the breakaway wall tamper bracket securely to the wall
using one of the supplied screws.
The case tamper activates when the case is opened and restores when the case is closed. The wall
tamper on the back of the unit is depressed by the mounting surface when properly installed. If the unit
is removed, the tamper activates. Ensure the mounting surface is smooth and free of obstructions that
block access to the rear of the unit. Electrical wires should not run over or under the module when it is
mounted.
