Enforcer® S 5368 Mini Shock Vibration Detector

Introduction
This mini shock detector is designed for protection against forced entry by a hammer, saw, crowbar,
etc. through walls, ceilings, windows, safes, cabinets, etc. For use in closed-circuit alarm systems, the
SS-040Q will initiate an alarm when a vibration of considerable force strikes the protected surface. A built-
in tamper switch is independently wired from the vibration detector for enhanced security.
Vibration contacts are adjustable by turning an adjustment screw to respond on any surface- glass, wood,
steel, plasterboard, or brick. Pure silver contacts with gold plating ensure years of long-term operation. Its
dust-tight ABS case is small and can be easily mounted inside with double-sided adhesive tape.
Circuit Type N.C., momentarily open when activated
Contact pressure Adjustable from 1to 50 grams but recommended setting between 5and
25 grams only . Supplied with pressure of approx . 6 grams

Contact Silver with gold plating
Case ABS resin
Operating temperature -40°-16r F(-40°-75° C)

Specifications
Installation and Operation
1. Remove the cover and connect one lead of
the wire from the N.C. input of the alarm to the
terminal near the opening. Connect the other
lead to the terminal of the tamper switch, as
shown below. It will trigger the alarm whenever it
is vibrated , shaken, or its cover is removed
2. If you choose not to use the tamper switch,
fasten the wire to the terminal farther from the
opening, as shown below.
It will trigger the alarm
only when it is vibrated or
shaken
NOTE: When protecting windows, the preferred installation method is to mount the detector on the frame
of the window rather than directly on the glass. This reduces the chance of false alarms resulting from
heavy vehicles passing by or from pedestrians inadvertently tapping on the window.

Adjusting the Sensitivity
Contact pressure below 5 grams is not recommended , as erratic operation may result and cause false
alarms. Contact pressure above 25 grams is not recommended because (a) it may permanently dam-
age the vibration blade; (b) the detector may not be sensitive enough to detect vibration. However, this
depends on the location where the detector is installed. If installed on a ceiling,the pressure must be
increased because the internal weightfaces downwards,thus reducing the actual pressure that is applied .
As the detector can be used on surfaces of different materials which transfer different amounts of pres-
sure from the same vibration/shock, it may be necessary to adjust the sensitivity. Turning the adjustment
screw in a clockwise direction makes the contact less sensitive; in a counterclockwise direction makes
the contact more sensitive . Proper adjustment is necessary to avoid false alarms or non-activation of the
alarm.
To adjust the pressure if a Gram Meter is not available, please do the following:
1. Determine the initial contact point of the vibration detector. This is done by rotating the adjustment
screw in a clockwise direction until the contact points just touch . At this point the pressure is usually
approx. 1 gram . (An ohm meter placed across the terminals will show exactly when initial contact is
made.)
2. After contact, turn the adjustment screw past the contact point in the following increments to obtain
the sensitivity you require:
a) 45 degrees to obtain approximately 6 grams,
b) 90 degrees to obtain approximately 11 grams,
c) 135 degrees to obtain approximately 16 grams, etc.
Please refer to figure 1 shown below.
