MANUAL
SS-040Q
Mini Shock/Vibration Detector
The ENFORCER
SS
-
040Q MINI SHOCK/VIBRATION DETECTOR
is designed or protection
against orced entry by a hammer, saw, crowbar, etc. through walls, ceilings, windows, sa es,
cabinets, etc. For use in closed-circuit alarm systems, the SS-040Q will initiate an alarm when
a vibration o considerable orce strikes the protected sur ace. A built-in tamper switch is
independently wired rom the vibration detector or enhanced security.
Vibration contacts are adjustable by turning an adjustment screw to respond on any sur ace -
glass, wood, steel, plasterboard, or brick. Pure silver contact points ensure years o long-term
operation. Dust-tight ABS case is small and can be easily mounted inside with two-sided
adhesive tape.
NOTE: Products with model numbers that end with “Q” or that have a round green “Q” sticker are RoHs compliant.

Remove the cover and connect one lead o the wire rom the N.C. input o the alarm to the
terminal o the SS-040Q near the opening. Connect the other lead to the terminal o the

,
or its cover is removed.

NOTE:
When protecting windows the pre erred installation method is to
mount the

HOW TO ADJUST THE SENSITIVITY
Contact pressure below 5 grams is not recommended, as erratic operation may result and
cause alse alarms. Contact pressure above 25 grams is not recommended because (a) it may
permanently damage the vibration blade; (b) the detector may not be sensitive enough to
detect vibration. This depends on the location where the detector is installed. I installed on a
ceiling the pressure must be increased. Because the internal weight aces downwards, this
reduces the pressure that is applied.
As the SS-040Q can be used sur aces o di erent materials which trans er di erent amounts
o pressure rom the same vibration/shock, it may be necessary to adjust the sensitivity.
Turning the adjustment screw (a) in a clockwise direction makes the contact less sensitive, (b)
in a counterclockwise direction makes the contact more sensitive. Proper adjustment may be
necessary to avoid alse alarms or non-activation o the alarm.
To adjust the pressure i a Gram Meter is not available, please do the ollowing:
1. Determine the initial contact point o 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. A ter contact, turn the adjustment screw past the contact point (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. to obtain the sensitivity you require. Please use
igure 1 shown below.
