PILFERGUARD

Installation

• 1. To Remove Cover: Depress test button and lift cover out of slot.
• 2. Mark and drill holes as per template directions and drill sizes. (5 for alarm unit, 2 for magnetic actuator).
• 3. For outside cylinder installation where required (go to step 4 if not).
  • A. Drill a 1¼" hole as shown on template.
  • B. Install a rim type cylinder through the door and allow flat tailpiece to extend 1" inside door.
  • C. Position cylinder so that keyway is vertical (horizontal if PG-10 is installed horizontally).
  • D. Hold PG-10 in position over mounting holes and note that outside cylinder tailpiece is centered in clearance hole in base of PG-10 (rotate cylinder 180° if not).
  • E. Tighten outside cylinder mounting screws.
• 4. Install PG-10 and magnetic actuator with 7 screws.
• 5. Install threaded (mortise) cylinder (1¼" long) in PG-10 cover using hardware supplied (see Figure 1). Key way must be horizontal so that tailpiece extends towards center of unit when key is turned.
• 6. Move slide switch to "OFF" (see Figure 2).

Connect battery.

Hook cover on end slot and secure with two cover screws.

Note: One of these screws acts as tamper alarm trigger, so be sure screws are fully seated. This completes the installation, proceed to "check-out".

Check-Out and Operation

• 1. With slide switch in "OFF" position, depress test button horns should sound.
• 2. To test using magnetic actuator:
  • A. Close Door.
  • B. Arm PG-10 by turning key clockwise 170 degrees.
  • C. Open door, alarm should sound.
  • D. Close door, alarm should remain sounding.
  • E. Silence alarm by turning key counterclockwise until it stops.
• 3. Close door and re-arm PG-10 by turning key clockwise until it stops.
• 4. Periodic Test: Unit should be tested weekly using test button to ensure battery is operational. Note: Test button only operates when PG-10 is turned off.

Special Conditions

Steel Frames - It is sometimes necessary on steel frames to install a non-magnetic shim between the magnetic actuator and the frame. This is done to prevent the steel frame from absorbing the magnets' magnetic field, which could cause a constant alarm condition or occasional false alarms.

The shim should be $\backslash frac\{1\}\{2\}$ " by $\backslash frac\{2\}\{2\}$ " by $\backslash frac\{1\}\{8\}$ " thick and may be constructed from plastic, bakelite or aluminum.
