GAPID SENSOR POLITEC | INSTALLATION MANUAL - VER.2.3
Congratulations on having purchased the Politec anti-climb triaxial accelerometer sensor.This
appliance guarantees long-lasting and reliable operation if installed correctly.For correct and
effective use, it is necessary to read this instruction manual carefully.
The system has been designed to detect intrusions and activate the alarm; it is not a
device that prevents intrusion.Politec is not responsible for damage, injury or loss
caused by accidents, theft, force majeure (including momentary lightning-induced
overcurrent), abuse, improper or incorrect use, faulty installation or inadequate
maintenance.
2. Product description
GAPID is a MEMS sensor that exploits the capabilities of a triaxial accelerometer able to
discriminate and/or detect any type of vibration or movement, optimally protecting numerous
application surfaces.Complete with 6 preset functions and 3 self-learning functions, cover anti-
removal tamper, IP66 shockproof container and battery power supply or 8-30Vdc, GAPID
represents the most advanced solution and innovation in the perimeter protection field.
This system is ideal for sensor management for the perimeter protection of large areas.
Gapid is made up of a solid rear steel plate and a resistant polycarbonate body, all supplied with
screws.The 2m, 4m or 6m connection cable is shielded and UV resistant.Gapid is completely
waterproof and is suitable for all outdoor environments:
•Mesh and fencing
•Grilles and grating
•Gates
•Railings
•Anti-intrusion walls
•Windows - Indoor
•Garages and doors
Warnings
Mounting, installation of the sensor and connection to the mains must be carried out
by expert and qualified personnel, in compliance with rules and regulations applicable
to electrical systems.

5.1 Preparing the components before installation
Since the communication between the sensors takes place by wire, it is advisable to firstly check that
all sensor components and any accessories are present before beginning the installation.
5.2 It is advisable to carry out:
•the installation of the sensors on the perimeters to be protected;
•checking the functioning of the sensor programs
•the permanent fixing of each sensor;
•the preparation and carrying out of electrical connections.
In order to avoid errors, operating and installation problems, it is advisable to proceed as follows:
a) Place all the products with the package open on a table;
b) Test the functioning of the sensors;
c) Arrange (without fixing) the sensors in the planned points;
d) Check that each sensor responds from the application;
e) Permanently fix the sensors.
Before proceeding with the installation, it is necessary to check the integrity of the product, the
adequacy of the model chosen and the suitability of the environment intended for installation:
• Check that all conditions of use fall within the "limits of use" and in the "Technical specifications of
the product".
• Check that the environment chosen for the installation is compatible with the total footprint of the
product.
• Check that the surface chosen for the installation of the product is sturdy so as to ensure stable
fixing and that it is adequately protected against possible impacts or the elements.

GAPID SENSOR
Placement and installation height
This type of sensor has the optimal sensitivity of a diameter of 5 metres on all types of fences, metal
structures and gates.If the fence is supported by poles about 5 metres apart, position the sensor in the
centre of this distance, so as to place one in each "sector".
However, it is necessary to take into consideration the type of material of the fence since, depending
on whether it is loose mesh, welded or with panels, the material will transmit a different sensitivity.
POLITEC | INSTALLATION MANUAL - VER.2.3
Position the Gapid in the centre of the panel
or the fencing and screw it to the fixing plate
positioned on the other side.Tighten the
screws firmly to prevent the device from
moving.
After calibration and programming, close the device
making sure that the O-ring is well positioned inside
the appropriate compartment and that the protective
cover closes well.
GAPID SENSOR can be connected to the network with
the cable supplied.
The cable must be tied to the fence/gate or on the
surface to be protected.
WARNING:
Product warranty is invalid if there is any hole in the product or any component
