Tattletale Borderguard Bedienungsanleitung
Borderguard
GENERAL INFORMATION
The Borderguard Dual Beam Motion Detector can be placed up to 2000 ft from
the tattletale™ base unit. The Borderguard is designed to protect the exterior of
a building, property, or fence. It is sensitive to moving heat and has an adjustable
coverage area. The detector utilizes dual beams to project up to 40 ft from each
side of the sensor (Fig. 2, see reverse page). It can operate normally between -4°F
and 122°F, is weather resistant, and IP55 rated. The 3V CR123A Lithium battery
provided will typically last for 2-3 years depending on usage and environment.
Mounting instructions:
1. Loosen the bottom cover screw and pivot cover towards the
top to remove front cover.
2. Loosen the two center housing screws and remove center
housing from back mounting cover.
3. Mount the Borderguard at a height of 31” to 48”( ideally 48”.)
(The sensor is looking for knees and shoulders of an intruder.)
4. Screw back casing of the unit to a permanent post or exterior
of the building. Make sure the sensor is mounted securely and
level. Failure to do so could result in undesired operation.
5. Reattach center section to the back housing using the top
hooks and the bottom two mounting screws.
6. Reattach the front cover with the top hook and secure the
bottom screw. (Be careful not to over-tighten the screws and
strip them.)
General Troubleshooting
When there is an issue with your Borderguard (or one of your
other sensors), the tattletale base unit will display a message
on its screen which says either “Sensor Open” or “Other
Issues.” If you see either of these messages displayed, press
3 on the keypad, then enter your 4-digit PIN to get more
information about what is going on with the sensor.
If the screen shows your Borderguard’s status to be
“OPEN,” that means one of two things: 1) The Borderguard
is actively seeing motion or 2) The Borderguard is not put
together properly.
For instructions on testing and changing the battery, see reverse page.
Testing the Borderguard
The Borderguard preserves battery life for 2-3 years by
going into a “Sleep Mode,” meaning that once tripped, the
sensor will not report motion detection again until there
have been 120 seconds of no activity.
It is not necessary to arm your tattletale base unit to
perform this test. To avoid alarm events, leave your base
unit disarmed or put the system on test drive.
1. Make sure that no one has been in the Borderguard’s
detection area for at least 3 minutes.
2. Unplug the tattletale base unit and carry it to the area
where the Borderguard is mounted.
3. When you trip the sensor, you should briey see a
“Sensor Open” message appear on the tattletale
base unit’s display. The message is only displayed for
a few seconds. If you see the message appear, the
Borderguard is working properly. If you don’t see it,
leave the area of the sensor for at least 3 minutes
and repeat the test.
4. Reconnect the tattletale base unit’s power cord.
If the Borderguard’s status is “LOST,” verify that it is within
range of the tattletale base unit and that the sensor has a
working battery in the transmitter. If that doesn’t return it
to normal status a tattletale signal booster might be
needed.
If the Borderguard’s status is “LOW BATTERY,” replace
the CR123A battery in its transmitter and press the blue
RESET button.

DIP Switch Setup
All new Borderguard sensors are sent out with
each DIP switch in the OFF position. This is the
recommended conguration for normal operation.
DIP Switch 1: Walk Test Mode.
TEST: LED will light anytime sensor is tripped. Use
this function only when walk testing sensor.
NORM: “Sleep Mode” This is a battery saving mode.
The sensor will trip when it sees motion, it will not
detect motion for 120 seconds. Recommended
setting: NORM
DIP Switch 2: Battery Saving Timer
5s: Sensor will look for and detect motion every
5 seconds. (Battery life will be shortened)
120s: Sensor will look for and detect motion every
120 seconds. Recommended setting: 120s
DIP Switch 3: LED Indicator
ON: LED will light up when the sensor is tripped.
OFF: LED will not light when the sensor is tripped:
Recommended setting: OFF
