The Learn Mode Shock Sensor has the followin g three main
functions:
❑To detect the vibrations made by an intruder trying to
break a wind ow or door.
❑To detect a window or door opening.
❑To detect tamper situations, such as an intruder remov-
ing the sensor cover.
Vibrations cause a momentary open circuit in the shock element of the sensor. The circuit closes again when the vibration stops. The sensor microcontroller “sees” the o pen/close
action as a pulse, causing the sensor to transmit an alarm
signal. The sensor has two different detection modes:
❑Gross Attack - detect a violent blow sufficient in length
to trip sensor.
❑Pulse Count - detect a sufficient number of less violent
blows (rapping or tapping).
The sensor includes an internal magnetic reed switch that
must be disabled if it is not used.
A cover tamper provides additional security if an intruder
tries to disable or damage the sensor.

receive sensor signal transmissions. The sensor is an
RF device and there may be blind or non-operational
locations within the installation. Normally, these can be
overcome by moving the sensor or receiver.
❑Always mount the shock sensor so that the detector is
on the frame and not on glass, solid, or hollow-core
doors. See Figure 2 for mounting locations.

Installation Guidelines
❑Learn the sensor before adjusting the shock sensitivity.
The sensor is shipped with the reed switch enabled and
open, and this is how it must be learned.
❑Before permanently mounting the sensor, test it at the
intended location to make sure that the panel can
❑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 sen-
sor 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).
Note
On a vertical surface, the shock sensor element must
always be oriented with its screw terminals down
writing on the shock elem ent horizontal.

On a horizontal surface (sill or ledge), any orientation is
allowed, but certain sensor element orientations are better
than others. The element is much better at detecting horizontal vibrations perpendicular to its writing than parallel
(see Figure 4).

Installation
Caution!
You must be free of all static elec t rici t y w he n handling
electronic component s. Touch a grounded, bare metal
surface before touching a circuit board or wear a grounded
wrist strap.
1. Insert a slotted screwdriver into the slot at the top end of
the unit and remove the cover (see Figure 5).

3. Position the shock element and press it firmly into its
socket (see Figure 7).
4. If using the reed switch, use the two remaining screws
to mount the magnet so that its arrow is aligned with the
arrow on the sensor case (see Figure 7).

Important! You must disable the reed switch if you
are not using it. If the reed switch is enabled but no
magnet is installed, the sensor will be in a continuous
alarm state.

Reed Switch Setting
Adjusting the Shock Sensor
DIP Switches
The following describes the DIP switch functions:
❑DIP Switches 1 and 2—adjust the Pulse Count.
❑DIP Switches 3 and 4—adjust the sensitivity setting of
In order for the LED to indicate shock detection while
adjusting the sensitivity, be sure the reed switch is di sabled (DIP switch 5 OFF) or that t he m agnet is lined up
with the reed switch if DIP switch 5 is ON.
Gross Attack Adjustment
1. To adjust the sensor for Gross Attack, set DIP switches
1 and 2 to the ON position. This disables the Pulse
Count so that the unit can only be activated by a Gross
Attack.
2. Apply high level shocks to the m ounting structu re, using
the LED as a guide to when the alarm trips (LED on for
4 seconds).
The LED will blink for 1 second every time the sensor
detects a pulse. A shock that is severe enough to cause
an alarm will cause the LED to light for approximately 4
seconds.
3. Use switches 3 and 4 to adjust the Gross Attack sensitivity of the sensor (see Table 1).
4. Repeat step 2 each time you make a sensitivity change.

Pulse Count Adjustment
1. Set the sensor to the desired Pulse Count (see Table 2).
Note
Pulse Count signals are counted at 1-second intervals
and stored in a 30-second dig ital memory. These small
signals can detect an intruder gently prying open a window or door frame.
Table 2: Pulse Count Adjustment

2. To test the pulse count setting, generate small shocks on
the mounting structure. Each time a shock is detected, a
pulse is registered in memory and the LED will blink for
one second. If the programmed pulse count is reached
within the most recent 30 seconds, the alarm will trip
and the LED will light for approximately 4 seconds. If
the alarm trips for any reason, the stored pulses are cancelled.
3. Use switches 1 and 2 to adjust the Pulse Count.
4. Repeat step 2 each time you make a sensitivity change.
Reed Switch Setting
After adjusting the sensor sensitivity, set DIP switch 5 to the
appropriate setting, ON for enabled or OFF for disabled.
System Programming
This section describes the basic steps for adding the sensor
to panel memory. Refer to the specific panel installation
instructions for complete programming details.
The reed switch must be enabled and open when learning
the sensor.
1. With the cover on the sensor, set the panel to Program
mode.
2. Proceed to the Learn Sensors menu.
3. Select the appropriate sensor group and sensor number
assignments.
4. When prompted by the panel to trip the sensor, remove
the sensor cover to activate the tamper switch.
5. Exit program mode.
RF Testing
This section describes the basic steps for testing the sensor.
Refer to the specific panel or receiver installation instructions for complete testing details.
1. Set the panel to Sensor Test.
2. Trip the sensor.
3. Listen for appropriate response from system sirens.
4. Exit Sensor Test.
Battery Replacement
When the system indicates that the sensor has a low battery,
remove the old battery and install a new battery (Duracell
DL123A or a Sanyo CR123A) into the battery holder,
observing proper polarity.
Caution!
Replace only with a Duracell DL123A battery or a Sa nyo
CR123A batt ery. Observe polarity when install i ng a new
battery. Installing the ba ttery backwards may cause
damage to the sensor.
Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer’s
instructions and/or loc al government authorities.
