Installation and Operation Manual

STI Universal Sensor

Model: STI-34401

Thank you for purchasing the STI Universal Sensor. Your satisfaction is very important to us. Please take
the time to read this manual carefully to get the most from your new product.

How The Product Works

The STI Universal Sensor is a wireless transmitter that can be configured to initiate a transmission to any
STI Receiver three different ways: internal magnetic sensor, internal tilt sensor or external switch.

Plan Your Installation

Universal Sensor Setup

1. Open sensor case using a flat head screwdriver in side case slot.

2. Configure the jumpers for the desired application (see Jumper Configurations Fig. 1).

3. Activate battery by removing the red tape.

4. Program the STI Universal Sensor into the STI receiver. Refer to the STI receiver installation

5. Snap base into lid. Tamper switch spring automatically seats within the locator ring on the lid. Tamper

6. Test the sensor for proper operation before permanently mounting.

7. Select mounting option.

1) Refer to the Operation section on the following pages to determine which sensor configuration is

best for your application.

2) Refer to the Sensor Supervision section to understand the use of this feature. It is recommended

to leave the sensor in the supervised state (J2 uncut) until false trouble signals are displayed on the
receiver. If you need to disable sensor supervision, the sensor must be deleted from the receiver
and reprogrammed into the receiver. Refer to your receiver’s installation instructions.

alert is triggered when the spring releases identifying when case is opened/broken/ajar.

OPTION 1: Mount with double sided foam tape provided to the back of the case (Fig. 2).
OPTION 2: Remove the circuit board from the case bottom. Drill 1/8 inch holes through the case
and use the screws (provided). For added protection, cover metal screw heads on the inside of
the case bottom with electrical tape (Fig. 2) to isolate the circuit board. Replace the circuit board
in the case bottom.

Magnetic Sensor: (Fig. 3)

• Alert Signal – Magnet is over approximately 1 1/3 inches from the device.

• Restore Signal – Magnet is brought within approximately 1 inch from the device.

When using the Magnetic Sensor, the bottom case may be inserted into the top case in reverse
depending on which direction the Magnetic Sensor should face.

Tilt Sensor: (Fig. 4)

• Alert Signal – Sensor is tilted more than 45° from vertical.

• Restore Signal – Sensor is tilted less than 45° from vertical.

When using the Tilt Sensor, the arrow on the bottom should point straight up in the non-triggered state.

Sensor Supervision

The STI Universal Sensor has a supervision feature that monitors the battery condition, sensor
tampering and verifies that the sensor is within range of the STI Receiver. Sensor supervision can
be disabled for installations where the transmission signals may be locked when in the sensor’s
normal condition.

If the STI Universal Sensor has a Low Battery or triggered Tamper Switch, the sensor will send a
trouble signal to the receiver.

If the signal is out of range or there is a loss of communication, the receiver will indicate a trouble
condition between 12 and 24 hours from the time the signal was lost.

External Contacts: (Fig. 5)

• Alert Signal – Terminals must rst have a closed circuit then an open circuit any
time afterward will trigger an Alert signal.

• Restore Signal – Terminals have a closed circuit.

When using the External Switch Terminals, remove the case knock out (Fig. 2) in the corner of the case
bottom to insert sensor wires. Connect to external contact block.

NOTE: If mounted outdoors, use silicone sealant on the wire and screw hole knock outs.
