Installation Sheet
Enrolling
To enroll the sensor, set your panel into program mode. Then go to the Learn Sensors menu.
Refer to your specific alarm panel manual for details on these menus. With the battery installed,
remove the back cover of the device to activate the tamper switch. Then select the appropriate
sensor group and number. Re-attach the cover and replace the screw to secure.
Tilt Sensitivity
The tilt sensor will activate when the device is approximately at a 45 degree angle. By moving the
actual ball sensor up or down, you can adjust this angle by a few degrees.
Note
: This device has a delay of approximately 1 second to eliminate false alarms caused by wind
and vibration commonly subjected to a large garage door.
Mounting
Included with this device are mounting screws and double sided tape. Choose a suitable location
for the sensor
by following the procedure in the section “Testing the Sensor” ensuring desired
signal strength is achieved. For reliable bonding with the tape, ensure the surface is clean and
dry. Apply the tape to the sensor and then to the desired location, ensuring that the arrow
indicator on the side of the device is pointed upwards. Apply firm pressure for several seconds.
Note:
When mounting with double sided tape, ensure temperatures are above 50°F and will
remain above 50°F for at least 24 hours to ensure proper bond. After 24 hours, the bond will hold
at lower temperatures.
Where possible, install sensors within 100 ft. (30 m) of the panel. While a transmitter may have an
open-air range of 500 ft. (150 m) or more, the environment at the installation site may have a
significant effect on operational range. Changing a sensor location may improve wireless
communication.
Testing the Sensor (Test Weekly)
The sensor test verifies proper communication between the sensor and the panel/receiver. To test
the sensor, refer to the specific panel/receiver documentation and do the following:
1. Put the panel/receiver into sensor test mode.
2. Open the garage door the sensor is protecting, or tilt the device. The sensor transmits a signal.
3. Listen for siren beeps to determine the appropriate response.
4. Exit sensor test mode.
Installing / Replacing the Battery
When the battery is low, a signal will be sent to the control panel. To install/replace the battery:
1. Remove the screw securing the back cover, and then remove the cover to reveal the battery.
2. Install / replace with a CR123A battery ensuring the
+
side of the battery matches the indicator
on the device.
3. Re-attach the cover and replace the screw to secure.
Note
: Removing the cover will trigger a zone tamper signal to the control panel.
