The Abode Shock/Vibration Sensor should be installed on each area with glass to detect shock or vibration that occurs when someone attempts to break the glass. Use the included double-sided adhesive tape to secure the sensor onto the window.

Pairing Guide
When adding the sensor to your hub, you can use the Abode app. Follow the steps below.
1. In the Abode app, tap "Add Device."
2. From the Abode Devices list, select "Glass Break Shock and Vibration Sensor" and follow the wizard to complete the process.
After pairing, check that the new sensor appears in your device list. If not, refresh the page. If the sensor did not pair, remove the battery, press the function button 3 times, reinsert the battery, and repeat the pairing steps.
Battery
The sensor uses one CR2032 3V Lithium battery. Always replace the battery with the correct size and voltage.
The sensor detects low battery voltage. When the battery is low, a low battery signal is sent to the hub and you will be notified.
! | NOTE When inserting a new battery, the positive (+) side must face upward. Never insert the battery with the negative (-) side facing upward. Use a sharp tool to open the battery slot when replacing batteries. |
Sensitivity
The sensor is pre-set from the factory to trigger when window glass breaks or when a high amount of shock or vibration is detected. Sensitivity levels include: High, Medium, and Low (default). The higher the sensitivity, the more easily the sensor is triggered.
To adjust sensitivity
1. Remove the battery.
2. Reinsert the battery. The LED indicator will light up briefly for about 1 second.
3. Press and hold the Function button while the LED indicator is lit.
4. The LED will begin to flash 3 times. Release the button at the appropriate flash: Low (first flash), Medium (second flash), High (third flash).
To test sensitivity
Arm the system in Home mode. Hold one end of a pencil and strike the face of the sensor with the other end (you may need to strike 3 or 4 times firmly). The sensor should be mounted on glass to detect shock when the glass is smashed or kicked. Banging on the window where the sensor is mounted should not trigger the sensor.
