How to use

Install the detector on a stable surface near the glass to be monitored, such as a window or door frame. Ensure the flat side of the device sits flush against the mounting surface for reliable vibration detection. Insert the supplied LR44 batteries and check that the device powers on; perform a functional test by creating a simulated vibration according to the manufacturer's test procedure. Replace batteries as needed to maintain reliable operation.

Recommendations

Mount the sensors on rigid frames or fixed glass sections and avoid placing them on loose or highly flexible surfaces. For best coverage, position units near the centre of the glass pane or on the frame adjacent to the glass. Regularly test the alarm and replace LR44 batteries before depletion to ensure continuous protection.
