- Integrated LED indicator for status and testing.
- Suitable for indoor shock/vibration detection.
- Surface mount installation.
3. Información de seguridade
Please read all instructions carefully before installing or operating the DSC SS102 sensor. Failure to follow these instructions may result in improper operation, damage to the device, or personal injury.
- A instalación só debe ser realizada por persoal cualificado.
- Disconnect power to the control panel before performing any wiring or maintenance.
- Ensure all wiring connections are secure and correct according to the control panel's specifications.
- Do not expose the sensor to extreme temperatures or moisture beyond its specified operating conditions.
- Este dispositivo está pensado só para uso en interiores.
4. Instalación e configuración
Proper installation is crucial for the optimal performance of the SS102 sensor. Follow these steps carefully:
4.1 Localización de montaxe
- Select a solid, stable surface that is directly connected to the area you wish to protect (e.g., a wall, window frame, or safe).
- Avoid mounting on surfaces that are prone to excessive vibration from non-security related sources (e.g., heavy machinery, air conditioning units).
- Asegúrese de que a superficie de montaxe estea limpa e seca.
4.2 Instalación física
- Abra con coidado o sensor casing to access mounting holes and terminals.
- Using appropriate screws, securely mount the sensor to the chosen surface. Ensure it is firmly attached to transmit vibrations effectively.
- Refer to the diagram below for typical mounting orientation and component identification.

4.3 Cableado
Connect the sensor to your alarm control panel according to the panel's instructions and the SS102 wiring terminals. Typically, this involves connecting to a zone input and power supply.
- Identify the alarm output terminals and power input terminals on the SS102.
- Connect the power supply (e.g., 12V DC) to the designated power terminals.
- Connect the alarm output to a supervised zone input on your control panel.
- Ensure proper polarity for power connections.
4.4 Sensitivity and Pulse Count Adjustment
The SS102 features adjustable sensitivity and pulse count to prevent false alarms while ensuring reliable detection.
- Axuste de sensibilidade: Use a small screwdriver to adjust the sensitivity screw (refer to Figure 1). Turn clockwise to increase sensitivity, counter-clockwise to decrease. Test the sensor after each adjustment.
- Conta de pulsos: The pulse count setting determines how many consecutive shock events are required within a short period to trigger an alarm. This helps differentiate between genuine threats from minor environmental disturbances. Consult your control panel or sensor documentation for specific pulse count settings if available, or adjust based on thorough testing.
5. Funcionamento
Once installed and configured, the DSC SS102 sensor continuously monitors for seismic vibrations. When the detected vibration level exceeds the set sensitivity threshold for the specified pulse count, the sensor will trigger an alarm condition, signaling the connected control panel.
- Indicador LED: The integrated LED (refer to Figure 1) provides visual feedback during testing and operation. It typically illuminates briefly upon detection of a shock event, and may indicate an alarm condition depending on the system's configuration.
- Proba: Regularly test the sensor by applying controlled impacts to the protected surface (e.g., tapping firmly near the sensor) to ensure it triggers an alarm at the desired sensitivity level.
6. Mantemento
The DSC SS102 sensor requires minimal maintenance to ensure long-term reliability.
- Limpeza: Periodically wipe the sensor's exterior with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these may damage the casing ou compoñentes internos.
- Proba: Perform functional tests at least annually, or more frequently in high-security applications, to verify proper operation and sensitivity settings.
- Verificación ambiental: Ensure the sensor remains free from moisture, extreme temperatures, and physical damage.
7 Solución de problemas
| Problema | Causa posible | Solución |
|---|---|---|
| Sensor not triggering | Low sensitivity setting, improper wiring, power issue, faulty sensor. | Increase sensitivity, check wiring connections to the control panel, verify power supply, test sensor functionality. |
| Falsas alarmas | High sensitivity setting, low pulse count, environmental vibrations, improper mounting. | Decrease sensitivity, increase pulse count, relocate sensor if necessary, ensure secure mounting to a stable surface. |
| O LED non se acende | No power, faulty LED, sensor not detecting events. | Check power connections, test sensor for detection by applying a shock, contact support if LED remains non-functional. |
