Dual Anti-Tamper
The DCT10 offers dual anti-tamper protection against the opening of the unit’s cover or the removal of the unit from the mounting location.
Secure the anti-tamper pin to the wall using the supplied screw. In the case where the unit is forcibly removed, the anti-tamper pin breaks away
from the rest of the unit, triggering a tamper alarm.
If the unit is installed on a drywall surface, use a drywall anchor to secure the anti-tamper pin.
Powering the unit
Verify proper polarity and insert two alkaline “AAA” batteries. After inserting batteries, a power up sequence will begin (10-20 seconds) during
which the door contact will not detect an open zone or tamper.
Low Battery
The DCT10 performs a battery test every 12 hours. If the voltage is below 2.3V after four consecutive battery tests (48 hrs.), the red LED will flash at
5 second intervals and the DCT10 will transmit a low battery signal (Optional for EN 50131 Grade 2).
Battery Replacement
To replace batteries:
1) Replace the old batteries with new ones.
2) Press and release the anti-tamper switch several times.
3) Wait 60 seconds to re-initialize the unit.
