Figure 2: Mounting options for door/window styles
•
Mount the sensor in a location where the structure can
transmit vibrations to the sensor.
•
The sensor can be mounted on a vertical surface or on a
horizontal (flat) surface.
•
Make sure the window fits snugly in the frame and doesn't
move or rattle.
•
Hold the sensor against the frame to make sure the
sensor base fits on the surface area of the frame and
doesn't extend over the surface edges.
Shock sensor orientation
There are two types of shock sensor mounting orientations; on
a vertical surface or on a horizontal surface (sill or ledge).
On a vertical surface, there are two orientations (see Figure 3
below).
Note: On a vertical surface, the shock sensor element must
always be oriented with its screw terminals down, or the writing
on the shock element horizontal.
Figure 3: Positioning shock element according to mounting
orientation on a vertical surface
On a horizontal surface (sill or ledge), any orientation is
allowed, but certain sensor element orientations are better than
2
others. The element is much better at detecting horizontal
vibrations perpendicular to its writing than parallel (see
Figure 4 below).

Tools and Supplies
•
Control panel installation instructions.
•
Phillips screwdriver.
•
Slotted screwdriver (to pry off the cover).
•
Two #6 x 3/4" flathead screws for mounting the sensor
(included).
•
Two #6 x 5/8" screws for mounting the magnet (included).
Installation
Caution:
You must be free of static electricity before handling
electronic components. Wear a grounding strap or touch a
bare metal surface to discharge static electricity.
1.
Insert a slotted screwdriver into the slot at the end of the
unit, turn it clockwise or counterclockwise to remove the
cover from the base (see Figure 5 on page 3).
2.
Using the flathead mounting screws, secure the base to
the mounting surface either vertically or horizontally as
required (see Figure 6 on page 3).
3.
Position the shock element and press it firmly into its
socket (see Figure 6 on page 3).
