Captive ScrewProduct FunctionThe DS350 Container Sensor is used for monitoring remote metalcontainers by measuring vibration.Once activated, this device will work exclusively with the assignedDS100 JobSite Security Portable Alarm System.1. The DS350 features 900 MHz spread spectrum communicationwith the Base Unit allowing for a range of up to 2000' (610 m).2. The Container Sensor includes user adjustable controls whichallow for sensitivity adjustments to avoid false alarms.3. A 80db sounder is used for testing sensitivity.4. The durable housing was designed for mounting the DS350 onthe outside of containers and tough enough to withstand outdoorconditions.5. Temporary mounting capabilities with the use of magnets orpermanent 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 batteryfor long life.8. The DS350 features an inside tamper that notifies the systemwhen 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 towhich it was affixed.10. The reset button allows the Container Sensor to be registered toany DEWALT JobSite Security system with easy set up.NOTE: Metal objects blocking radio frequency (RF) transmission canaffect the range of the sensor.Prevention of False AlarmsThe majority of alarms that occur are false. These situations happenevery day due to user error, incorrect installation or improper mainte-nance of the system. False alarms will limit the responsiveness to thesystem, and become a general inconvenience. As the number offalse alarms increases, authorities have become less apt to respondto alarm systems due to this problem. Many of these situations can beavoided by following some very simple practices. • Ensure all users are properly trained on the operation of thesystem.• Always turn off the system with the Key Chain Remote Controlbefore entering protected area. • Lock all protected doors, windows or any other asset attached toa sensor.• Check that motion detectors are not obstructed. Do not allowsources of heat or sound in range of the motion or vibrationsensors.ABFIG. 1 FIG. 2SITELOCK LLC, 626 Hanover Pike, Hampstead, MD 21074 (AUG04) Form No. XXXXXX-XX DS350 Copyright © 2004 DEWALTCAUTION: POTENTIAL EQUIPMENTMALFUNCTION OR FAILURE.

• Check that premises are cleared and assets secured before settingthe 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 securedon a daily basis.Recommended Locations• Recommended for use on steel containers, large tool boxes, andtool storage boxes.• Place on the OUTSIDEof a metal container to ensure transmissionof RF signal. Installing & Changing BatteryThe DS350 Container Sensor requires a non-rechargeable CR-1233.0 Volt Lithium battery.TO INSTALL A BATTERY1. Using a Phillips screwdriver, loosen the captive screw (F). 2. Flip open the latch. 3. Install the battery using the polarity (+ and -) markings on thebattery and equipment. Do not use excessive force. If the batterydoes not fit, ensure that it matches the polarity markings.4. Press the Reset Button (C) on the device. After resetting thesensor (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.

If adding the Container Sensor after the alarm system has beenprogrammed, use the TEST button on the keypad.Adjusting SensitivityThe sounder will indicate with a ticking noise as the sensitivity is beingincreased (less vibration) or decreased (more vibration). When themaximum and minimum are reached, the sensor will beep. Pressingthe reset button will send the sensitivity to the default (medium).Walk TestTo activate the Container Sensor walk test, create vibration on the con-tainer. Adjust the sensitivity as appropriate for the type of containerbeing secured. The Base Unit will indicate that the test was successfulwhen the device is removed from the list on the LCD screen.MountingThe DS350 can be mounted permanently using four #8 screws, fourbolts or temporarily with the magnets on the back of the containersensor.IMPORTANT: Because the Container Sensor uses radio frequency(RF) which can be blocked by metal objects, do not place the DS350Container Sensor INSIDEthe container or storage box. Align the sensor on the container or storage box in any of the followinglocations:• Underneath the container• On top of the container • On the side or back of the containerUSING MAGNETSThere are three magnets on the back of the container sensor. Thesemagnets are used to temporarily attach the sensor on a container orstorage 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 theevent that the system is armed, an alarm will occur which in turn willnotify the user. USING BOLTSIn order to permanently attach the sensor on a container or storagebox, use four #8 screws or four bolts as appropriate for the material towhich 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 – FaultsFaults indicate when there has been a serious issue that needs to beaddressed. This could be a number of things including an unsecureddevice, low battery, tamper or weak signal.If a fault is present, the system will chime and the Fault screen will bedisplayed.
