SILENT PANIC SWITCH<br />
AND EMERGENCY ALARM<br />
Banks, jewelry stores, homes, and other places where people and property are at<br />
risk can be protected with a manually operated, silent panic/emergency alarm<br />
switch. The Sentrol 3040, with its LED and latching circuit, is ideal for retail<br />
outlets and medical care facilities. Sentrol’s 3045 Panic Switch is ideal for<br />
bedrooms and bathrooms in residential installations. It can be used by someone<br />
who is too injured (from falls, burns, heart attacks) to call for help. The 3050 and<br />
3055 feature a glowing LED for low light visibility. The LED glows green when<br />
powered up, turns red upon activation. The 3040CT, 3045CT, 3050CT and<br />
3055CT are ideal in garages or other unheated facilities in cold climates. The<br />
3050CT and 3055CT feature a glowing LED for low light visibility. The LED<br />
glows green when powered up, turns red upon activation. The 3050CT contains a<br />
latching LED, the 3055CT is non-latching.<br />
Note: The 3040 has a separate latching LED circuit. It must be powered and reset<br />
by a push-button +5 to 12 VDC source in or mounted outside the alarm panel.<br />
The 3045 has no latching LED. The 3050 contains a latching LED, the 3055 is<br />
non-latching.<br />
Determine the best location for the actuating lever. The switch is most effective<br />
when mounted out of view but within convenient reach of the user, as under a<br />
counter top or inside the kneehole of a desk. In a residence place no higher than 4'<br />
(122 cm) so it can be reached by a person lying on the floor.<br />
Allow at least 3" (7.62 cm) of clearance above the mounting surface to<br />
accommodate the actuating lever when it is fully open. The device can be<br />
mounted horizontally or vertically.<br />
Temporarily mount unit with tape and test for ease of operation. Mark holes for<br />
screws and a hole for leads. Drill pilot holes or start screws. Connect leads to<br />
terminal block inside housing. Snap cover plate in place.<br />
Test unit. Handle pulled approximately 30˚ from the normal locked position will<br />
activate alarm circuit and LED circuit — LED will light. With handle open, reset<br />
LED circuit by interrupting power to LED circuit. LED will go out. Close handle.<br />
Device is now fully re-armed.<br />
