SHK(C)8M(2) : Wireless Shock Sensors - Installation Instructions (ENGLISH)
Introduction
The SHK8M series is designed to protect window and door
surroundings, and is used to detect forcible attack upon the
surface on which it is mounted.
It is capable to detect 2 different types of forcible attacks :
-
Strong attack
: the device will send an alarm for any single shock
event whose intensity exceed the factory set
strong attack
sensitivity level.
- Repeated attacks
: the device will send an alarm after a defined
number (controllable) of consecutive shocks, whose intensity
exceed the factory set
repeated attack
sensitivity level, has been
detected within a period of 8s;
This device is intended for use with a wireless alarm system that
supports the ALPHA or V2GY wireless protocoles such as
Domonial, G2, Dimension, Lynx and Vista control panels.
The SHK8M series
This series consists of the following sensors:
SHK8M: Wireless shock sensor, white.
SHK8M2: Brown version of the SHK8M.
SHKC8M: Wireless shock sensor featuring a door contact
functionality
Note: for this sensor the gap between the contact and the magnet
should be less than 10 mm
SHKC8M2: Brown version of the SHKC8M.
Tamper Switches
The SHK8M features two tamper switches to detect device
opening and wrench off from its mounting surface
Area of Shock Protection
The SHK8M can detect shocks within a radius of 2.5 m. This can
vary, depending on the type of mounting surface. See Figure 1.
Registering the Sensor at the Control Panel
Each sensor in the SHK8M series has a unique, factory-set serial
number that must be registered at the control panel before it can
be used by the system. Note that the battery must be installed
before registration.
When registering, note the following:
1. Remove the cover of the sensor. See Figure 2.
2. Set SW4 to OFF (Test Mode disabled).
3. Install the battery in the holder provided. See Figure 3.
4. To register, transmit from the unit when prompted, by
activating its tamper switch as follows: Depress the cover
tamper switch lightly for several seconds, then open it. The
panel beeps to confirm registration.
5. Verify the strength of the signal received at the control panel
(For Domonial, G2 and Dimension only ).
Mounting
1. Remove the cover of the sensor. See Figure 2.
2. Mount the back casing on a solid surface using the screws
supplied in the three mounting holes. See Figure 4.
For SHKC8M only, mount the magnet (supplied) adjacent to
the mounting plate’s alignment strip.
See Figure 3.
3. Replace the cover.
Note: Avoid installing the magnet on a metallic surface, such as a
metal door frame.
Sensitivity Configuration
The sensitivity of the device can be adjusted
.
There are 2 ways to
control the sensitivity:
- Gross: Select with SW1 between High/lowsensitivity
- Fine: Adjust the sensitivity using the potentiometer.
In order to verify the correct setting, enter test mode and tap at
the required point within the coverage area shown in figure 1 –
the LED will light up if the threshold is passed.
Note: after any setting change of the DIP switch, device must be
restarted: remove battery, wait 10 seconds, and insert it again to
power on device.
Pulse Count Configuration
The pulse count is the number of shocks required to trigger an
alarm in case of
repeated attack
. To configure the pulse count of
the device, you must enter LEARNING MODE.
1. To enter Learning Mode, power on the sensor with SW 3 in
the ON position (see Figure 5):
2. Wait for 10 seconds, until the red LED lights. You will then
have 30 seconds to register the pulse count.
3. Start tapping the area of coverage – while the red LED is ON.
Each valid impact will turn the LED OFF for 500ms then
it will return to ON.
The pulse count is automatically determined by the number
of valid impacts made to the area to be protected There is no
limit to the number of taps allowed. We recommend to tap
the area furthest away from the location of the detector.
If the LED doesn’t go off, the area is out of coverage
range or the impact level is lower than required and the
shock was not taken into account. Try again using a higher
sensitivity.
After the 30 seconds the LED will flash to confirm the
number of pulse counts.
4. By default, the pulse count is set to 10. To restore the default
pulse count, repeat the procedure described in point 1,
without registering any shocks during the period of 30s after
the red LED has lit.
At the end of this period, the LED will flash 10 times to
confirm that the default pulse count has been restored.
The learn result will be stored into flash memory and will remain
unchanged until the next learning.
Note: In order to calibrate the sensor precisely, you can use the
Viper
calibration tool device preset to 6 kg/cm
2
constant level of
shock to frame - never use directly on glass - For areas larger
than 2.5m, it is recommended to use two sensors, in order to
ensure optimal coverage (Ref: PC.06138.00, not supplied).
Test Mode
Use Test Mode to check the configuration and settings of the
sensor. If Learning Mode is disabled or finished and Test Mode
has been enabled (SW 4 in the ON position), the module enters
Test / Installation Mode. In Test Mode:
■ The sensor detects the shock, tamper and contact alarm, as
normal.
■ The LED will indicate an alarm.
■ No RF message will be transmitted
■ Test Mode will be exited after 2 minutes.
Figure 1 on page 3 shows how to use the calibration tool to test
that the sensor is functioning correction. Each shock registered
causes the LED to light.
Power
The sensor signals a battery failure at the control panel when the
battery needs to be replaced. The sensor will continue to operate
for up to one week after this. Replace battery with 3V Lithium
battery only.
