“SILENT” ALARM FOR BANKS
AND JEWELRY STORES
Banks, jewelry stores, and other retail facilities with cash and valuables can be
protected with a manually operated switch. Sentrol’s 3040 and 3045 feature
internal magnetic contacts and an actuating lever with a magnet cradled in it.
When the lever is pulled, the SPDT circuit closes or opens, activating the alarm.
Mounted under a counter top or inside the kneehole of a desk, the device offers
protection for employees in potentially high-risk businesses.
Note: The 3040 has a separate latching LED circuit. It must be powered and reset
by a push-button +5 to 12 VDC source in or mounted outside the alarm panel.
The 3045 has no latching LED.
Determine the best location for the actuating lever. It is most effective when
mounted out of view but within convenient reach of the user.
Make sure you allow at least 3" (7.62 cm) of clearance above the mounting surface
to accommodate the actuating lever once it is fully open. The device can be
mounted horizontally or vertically.
Temporarily mount unit with tape and test for ease of operation. Mark holes for
screws and a hole for leads.
Drill pilot holes or start screws. Connect leads to terminal block inside housing.
Snap cover plate in place.
Test unit. Handle pulled approximately 30˚ from the normal locked position will
activate alarm circuit and LED circuit — LED will light. With handle open, reset
LED circuit by interrupting power to LED circuit. LED will go out.
Close handle. Device is now fully re-armed.
