What Is Included

A 506T Audio Sensor

A Wiring Interface Harness

An Audio Microphone

The 506T Audio Sensor is a low-current device that provides an added level of protection to an existing security

system by detecting sounds that have the acoustic signature of breaking glass or metal-to-glass impacts. It con-

sumes less than 1 mA of current.

The 506T Audio Sensor can be configured to interface with the following different types of DEI and non-DEI

vehicle security systems:

The 506T can interface with the shock sensor port of DEI security systems with external shock sensors, using

the wiring interface harness supplied with the 506T.

For most DEI security systems with on-board shock sensors, the 506T harness can be plugged directly into

the auxiliary sensor port of the security system.

For other DEI (and non-DEI) security systems that do not have sensor ports, the 506T can be hard-wired to

a negative instant trigger sensor input.

To install the 506T Audio Sensor, choose the appropriate configuration from one of the following three wiring

guidelines. You will also need to refer to the Table of Zones section of the security system's installation guide

to determine the zone that the audio sensor will be reporting on. (The 506T Audio Sensor can be configured

so that the audio sensor will report on the same, or a different zone than the shock sensor.) After the 506T

Audio Sensor has been installed, make sure to complete the steps outlined in the Adjustment and Testing section

of this guide.

Page 2 4. Plug the remaining 4-wire shock sensor harness (with the green, blue, black and red wires) into the DEI shock sensor. 5. Adjust and test the audio sensor before mounting. The shock sensor will report Zone 2, and the 506T will report Zone 4. (Refer to the Table of Zones section of the alarm system’s installation guide.)
Page 3 Adding a 506T to a DEI system with a shock sensor port and an on-board shock sensor To add a 506T to a DEI system with a shock sensor port and an on-board shock sensor, refer to the configura- tion diagram below and follow these steps: 1.
Page 4 Adding a 506T to a security systems without a shock sensor input or to a DEI system with an external shock sensor that does NOT report separate zones on the shock sensor port To add a 506T to these types of alarm systems, refer to the configuration diagram below and follow these steps: 1.
