Connecting the Protector GPS

Step 1

If powered on, disconnect the Hercules from its power source.

Step 2

Connect the Hercules to the Protector with the interface cable.

Step 3

Connect the GPS antenna to the Protector by screwing the SMA connector into the antenna jack of the Protector. In a discrete location, near the top of the asset, and not within a metal enclosure, mount the GPS antenna using the magnetic mount, a minimum of four inches away from the MAIN and AUX antennas of the Hercules.

Note: Metal enclosures hinder the GPS antenna from signalling the Protector’s GPS position.

Step 4

Mount the cable-free, magnetic door sensors to the swing side of the desired doors to be monitored.

Step 5

Mount the sensor ends of the door sensor cables opposite the cable-free magnetic door sensors, a maximum of half an inch apart when the doors are closed.

Step 6

Insert the connector end of the door sensor cables into the desired door ports of the Protector.

Note: When powered on, and the door sensors are within a half inch of each other, the door sensor LEDs will be lit green and when the doors are open the LEDs will be lit red.

Step 7

Mount the sensor end of the tilt/vibration sensor cable to an inside, vertical surface using the Velcro adhesive strip.

Note: Tilt sensor orientation affects alarm sensitivity.

• Vertical = High Sensitivity
• Horizontal = Medium Sensitivity
• Upside Down = Low Sensitivity

Step 8

Insert the connector end of the tilt/vibration sensor cable into the tilt port of the Protector GPS. When powered on, the tilt LED will be lit green. When tilting or vibration is detected the tilt LED will be lit red.

Step 9

Connect the power supply cables to the Hercules and the Protector GPS respectively and connect them into a power source.

Note: Do not plug the Protector GPS into a backup battery power supply. Doing so will prevent the power cut alarm from being triggered. If installing with the Restart, connect the Restart to the Protector GPS using the restart cable. Plug the Protector GPS and Hercules into the 3 outlet tap. Plug the 3 outlet tap into the white, un-switched outlet of the Restart. Plug the ATM power cable into the black, switched outlet of the Restart, then plug the Restart into a power source.

Step 10

Secure the Protector GPS by placing it in a discrete location (E.g. inside the safe) within the asset, to reduce the likelihood of it being discovered by others.
