Product Function
The DS350 Container Sensor is used for monitoring remote metal containers by measuring
vibration.
Once activated, this device will work exclusively with the assigned DS100 Jobsite Security
Portable Alarm System.
NOTE: Metal objects blocking radio frequency (RF) transmission can affect the range of the
sensor.
Prevention of False Alarms
The majority of alarms that occur are false. These situations happen every day due to user
error, incorrect installation or improper maintenance of the system. False alarms will limit the
responsiveness to the system, and become a general inconvenience. As the number of false
alarms increases, authorities have become less apt to respond to alarm systems due to this
problem. Many of these situations can be avoided by following some very simple practices.
• Ensure all users are properly trained on the operation of the system.
• Always turn off the system with the Key Chain Remote Control before entering protected
area.
• Lock all protected doors, windows or any other asset attached to a sensor.
• Place the container sensor in area of minimal vibration.
• Check that premises are cleared and assets secured before setting the 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 secured on a daily basis.
SETUP
Installing & Changing Battery
The DS350 Container Sensor requires a non-rechargeable CR-123 3.0 Volt Lithium battery.
NOTE: The system must be disarmed prior to any programming changes.
TO INSTALL A BATTERY
1. Using a Phillips screwdriver, loosen the captive screw (F).
2. Flip open the latch.
3. Install the battery using the polarity (+ and -) markings on the battery and equipment.
Do not use excessive force. If the battery does not fit, ensure that it matches the polar-
ity markings.
NOTE: When changing the battery the reset button (C) must be pressed.
4. After registering or resetting the sensor (see ), replace the cover.Device Registration
By opening the device, the Base Unit may display a tamper fault.
TO CLEAR A FAULT
a. Select DISPLAY.
b. Scroll list of fault(s).
c. Select CLEAR.
d. Enter master code.
e. Select OK.
CAUTION: When changing the battery, never use a damaged or worn out battery.
Device Registration
To activate the device, it must first be assigned to your DS100 Base Unit. Refer to the DS100
Jobsite Security Portable Alarm System Instruction Manual for more details on registering a
device during the initial setup.
NOTE: The system must be disarmed prior to any programming changes.
1. Press the MAIN MENU button on the keypad of the DS100 Base Unit.
2. Using the keypad, enter the master code.
3. Use the up and down arrows to scroll through the menu until the System Settings menu
is displayed. Select OK.
4. Use the up and down arrows to scroll through the menu until the Wireless Device
Maintenance menu is displayed. Select OK.
5. Use the up and down arrows to scroll through the menu until the Add/Replace Device
screen is displayed. Select OK.
6. The next available device number will be displayed. Up to 48 sensors can be registered
to the system. If there are no slots available, the screen will display ALL DEVICES IN
USE. When the device number is shown, select OK.
7. Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the captive screw. Flip open the latch.
8. When prompted by the system’s LCD screen to RESET DEVICE, press and release the
reset button (C) located on the device’s sensitivity keypad (Fig. 2). The screen will indi-
cate that the device has been registered.
9. Immediately replace the cover.
10. To edit the description of the device, select EDIT.
11. To edit the description, use the keypad to type a description of up to 8 characters. The
character that is being changed will be underlined. To move back a character, use the
down arrow key. To move forward a character, use the up arrow key. When complete,
select SAVE.
IMPORTANT: Write the device description and corresponding device number on the
Sensor Location List included with the DS100 Jobsite Security Portable Alarm System.
Keep this sheet for reference. This information will be needed during the monitoring
service enrollment process. As device changes are made, be sure to contact DEWALT
customer service to make adjustments to the monitoring service.
12. After registration, test the sensor. If programming through the initial setup, the test function
will be included in the setup sequence. If adding the Container Sensor after the alarm
system has been programmed, use the TEST button on the keypad.
Recommended Locations
• Recommended for use on steel containers, large tool boxes, and tool storage boxes.
• Place on the
OUTSIDE
of a metal container to ensure transmission of RF signal.
• Place the DS350 Container Sensor near the lock and away from corners or reinforcement
ribs and brackets.
• A weak signal message will indicate that the sensor is within range but communication is
weak. A no check in message will indicate that the sensor is out of range.
Mounting
IMPORTANT: Because the Container Sensor uses radio frequency (RF) which can be
blocked by metal objects, place the DS350 Container Sensor
OUTSIDE
the container or
storage box.
NOTE: Metal objects blocking radio frequency (RF) transmission can affect the range of the
sensor.
USING MAGNETS
There are three magnets on the back of the container sensor to temporarily attach the sen-
sor on a container or storage box. If it is removed by an intruder while the system is disarmed,
the tamper switch will send a signal to the Base Unit. In the event that the system is armed,
an alarm will occur which in turn will notify the user.
USING BOLTS
In order to permanently attach the sensor on a container or storage box, use four #8 screws
or four bolts (not included) as appropriate for the material to which 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).
IMPORTANT: To eliminate false alarms, be sure that the sensor is secure so it will not
be removed.
Adjust Sensitivity
Please refer to page 2 for Guide to Adjusting Sensitivity.
Tamper – Faults
Faults indicate when there has been a serious issue that needs to be addressed. This could
be a number of things including an unsecured device, low battery, tamper or weak signal.
If a fault is present, the Fault screen will be displayed. To bypass the Fault screen, select
SILENCE. To display the fault and resolve immediately, select DISPLAY. Use the up and
down arrows to scroll through the faults. Resolve the issue with the action listed in
Description of Fault Codes chart.
