Do not touch the electronic components inside the device, except the reset button and battery. CAUTION: POTENTIAL EQUIPMENT MALFUNCTION OR FAILURE. Metal objects blocking radio frequency (RF) transmission can affect the range of the sensor. Place Container Sensor on the OUTSIDEof a metal container to ensure transmission of RFsignal. 5. Temporary mounting capabilities with the use of magnets or permanent mounting by mounting with bolts. 6. Captive screw used to keep the front cover closed. 7. The DS350 Container Sensor uses a CR-123 3.0V Lithium battery for long life. 8. The DS350 features an inside tamper that notifies the system when the sensor cover is removed. 9. The DS350 also features an outside tamper that notifies the sys-
tem when the sensor has been removed from the container to which it was affixed. 10. The reset button allows the Container Sensor to be registered to any DEWALT JobSite Security system with easy set up. NOTE: Metal objects blocking radio frequency (RF) transmission can affect the range of the sensor. Prevention of False Alarms The majority of alarms that occur are false. These situations happen every day due to user error, incorrect installation or improper mainte-
nance of the system. False alarms will limit the responsiveness to the system, and become a general inconvenience. As the number of false alarms increases, authorities have become less apt to respond to alarm systems due to this problem. Many of these situations can be avoided by following some very simple practices. Ensure all users are properly trained on the operation of the system. Always turn off the system with the Key Chain Remote Control before entering protected area. Lock all protected doors, windows or any other asset attached to a sensor. Check that motion detectors are not obstructed. Do not allow sources of heat or sound in range of the motion or vibration sensors. SITELOCK LLC, 626 Hanover Pike, Hampstead, MD 21074 (AUG04) Form No. XXXXXX-XX DS350 Copyright 2004 DEWALT Check that premises are cleared and assets secured before setting the system. Turn off all noise sources radios, compressors, generators, heavy equipment, etc. Know how to cancel an alarm or turn off the system before activating. If a false alarm is tripped notify customer service immediately. Test the system on a monthly basis to ensure proper functioning Check cellular signal, power supply, and that sensors are secured on a daily basis. Recommended Locations Recommended for use on steel containers, large tool boxes, and tool storage boxes. Place on the OUTSIDEof a metal container to ensure transmission of RF signal. Installing & Changing Battery The DS350 Container Sensor requires a non-rechargeable CR-123 3.0 Volt Lithium battery. TO INSTALL A BATTERY 1. Using a Phillips screwdriver, loosen the captive screw (F). 2. Flip open the latch. 3. Install the battery using the polarity (+ and -) markings on the battery and equipment. Do not use excessive force. If the battery does not fit, ensure that it matches the polarity markings. 4. Press the Reset Button (C) on the device. After resetting the sensor (see Device Registration), replace the cover. By open-
ing the device, the Base Unit may display a tamper fault. TO CLEAR A FAULT a. Select DISPLAY. b. Scroll list of fault(s). c. Select CLEAR. d. Enter master code. e. Select OK. TO CHANGE THE BATTERY CAUTION: Never use a damaged or worn out battery. 1. Carefully remove the old, discharged battery. Dispose of the bat-
tery according to local regulations. 2. Install new battery using the polarity (+ and -) markings on the bat-
tery and equipment. Do not use excessive force. If the battery does not fit, ensure that it matches the polarity markings (Fig. 2). 3. Press the Reset Button (C) on the device to re-register the sen-
sor and restore programming. After resetting the sensor, replace the cover. By opening the device, the Base Unit may display a tamper fault. TO CLEAR A FAULT a. Select DISPLAY. b. Scroll list of fault(s). c. Select Clear. d. Enter master code. e. Select OK. Device Registration To activate the device, it must first be assigned to your DS100 Base Unit. Refer to the DS100 JobSite Security Portable Alarm System Instruction Manual for more details on registering a device during the initial setup. NOTE: The system must be disarmed prior to any programming changes. 1. Press the MAIN MENU button on the keypad of the DS100 Base Unit. 2. Using the keypad, enter the master code. 3. Use the up and down arrows to scroll through the menu until the System Settings menu is displayed. Select OK. 4. Use the up and down arrows to scroll through the menu until the Wireless Device Maintenance menu is displayed. Select OK. 5. Use the up and down arrows to scroll through the menu until the Add/Replace Device screen is displayed. Select OK. 6. The next available device number will be displayed. Up to 48 sen-
sors can be registered to the system. If there are no slots avail-
able, the screen will display ALL DEVICES IN USE. When the device number is shown, select OK. 7. Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the captive screw. Flip open the latch. 8. When prompted by the LCD screen to RESET DEVICE, press and release the reset button (C) located on the sensitivity keypad
(Fig. 2). The screen will indicate that the device has been regis-
tered. 9. Immediately replace the cover. 10. To edit the description of the device, select EDIT. 11. To edit the description, use the keypad to type a description of up to 8 characters. The character that is being changed will be under-
lined. To move back a character, use the down arrow key. To move forward a character, use the up arrow key. When complete, select SAVE. IMPORTANT: Write the device description and corresponding device number on the Sensor Location List included with the DS100 JobSite Security Portable Alarm System. Keep this sheet for reference. This information will be needed during the monitoring service enrollment process. As device changes are made, be sure to contact DEWALT customer service to make adjustments to the monitoring service. 12. After registration, test the sensor. If programming through the initial setup, the test function will be included in the setup sequence. If adding the Container Sensor after the alarm system has been programmed, use the TEST button on the keypad. Adjusting Sensitivity The sounder will indicate with a ticking noise as the sensitivity is being increased (less vibration) or decreased (more vibration). When the maximum and minimum are reached, the sensor will beep. Pressing the reset button will send the sensitivity to the default (medium). Walk Test To activate the Container Sensor walk test, create vibration on the con-
tainer. Adjust the sensitivity as appropriate for the type of container being secured. The Base Unit will indicate that the test was successful when the device is removed from the list on the LCD screen. Mounting The DS350 can be mounted permanently using four #8 screws, four bolts or temporarily with the magnets on the back of the container sensor. IMPORTANT: Because the Container Sensor uses radio frequency
(RF) which can be blocked by metal objects, do not place the DS350 Container Sensor INSIDEthe container or storage box. Align the sensor on the container or storage box in any of the following locations:
Underneath the container On top of the container On the side or back of the container USING MAGNETS There are three magnets on the back of the container sensor. These magnets are used to temporarily attach the sensor on a container or storage box. If it is removed by an intruder while the system is dis-
armed, the tamper switch will send a signal to the Base Unit. In the event that the system is armed, an alarm will occur which in turn will notify the user. USING BOLTS In order to permanently attach the sensor on a container or storage box, use four #8 screws or four bolts as appropriate for the material to which it is affixed. 1. Use the magnets to hold the DS350 in the desired location. 2. Pre-drill the four locations (G) as marked in Figure 3. 3. Place bolts through each hole. 4. Lock bolts with the appropriate nut. (washer if desired) Tamper Faults Faults indicate when there has been a serious issue that needs to be addressed. This could be a number of things including an unsecured device, low battery, tamper or weak signal. If a fault is present, the system will chime and the Fault screen will be displayed. To silence the chime, select SILENCE. To display the fault and resolve immediately, select DISPLAY. Use the up and down arrows to scroll through the faults. Resolve the issue with the action listed in Description of Fault Codes chart.
