NOTICE
The original Direct Response Shake Sensor was mounted horizontally on the inside
of the lead rail. For product integrity, sensors are now mounted vertically. If replacing an original
horizontally mounted sensor, it is necessary to install the vertical mounting bracket for the
replacement sensor. Replacement sensors must be mounted vertically and will not work properly if
mounted horizontally.

Installing the Vertical Mount Bracket

(Detail A)
1. Remove the lead rail end plate and set aside.
2. Detach the existing sensor from the bracket. The sensor is attached with a strong adhesive double
sided tape. It will be necessary to use a putty knife or similar tool to carefully pry the sensor off the
bracket. Allow the sensor to hang from the cord. DO NOT CUT THE SENSOR CABLE.
3. Remove the existing mounting bracket from the lead rail. The bracket is either attached using the
double sided tape or is riveted onto the inner skin of the lead rail.
NOTICE
Use care to not damage the lead rail when removing the bracket. If drilling out
rivets, do not allow the drill to go through the outer skin of the lead rail.
4. Use an acetone solvent and clean any glue residue from the inner surface of the lead rail. Follow the
solvent manufacturer's directions.
5. The sensor is secured to the new bracket with a #10 x 3/4 screw on each side of the bracket. Insert
one (1) screw into the edge of the bracket that will be pointed to the inside of the lead rail.
6. Slide the new vertical mount bracket into the grooves of the lead rail. Position in the approximate
location of the old sensor.
7. Secure the bracket by pressing the 1/8 x 9/16 roll pin between the bracket and lead rail as shown.
