FREEDOM CORE

Sensor Cable Details

Sensor cables provide both electronic 
and mechanical security for the 
merchandise. Each cable has a 
RJ-11 connector that plugs into the 
alarm module and a sensor head that 
attaches to the product using VHB

 

tape.  

When the sensor head is properly 
attached, the product pushes the 
mechanical security switch down. If 
someone attempts to remove the 
cable, the sensor switch lifts up and 
triggers the alarm. The alarm also 
triggers if someone cuts the cable. 

Sensor Cable Options

Sensor cables are available 
in several different 
configurations, allowing you to 
select from a variety of sensor 
heads, cable types and colors. 

You should always select the 

cable that provides the best 
fit for the product(s) you are 
trying to protect.

Optional Extension Cable & Coupler

You can extend the overall operating length of each cable by adding an extension cable and coupler to the system.

Zip tie slots

Zip ties help secure cable to 

product until the adhesive 

bond cures. Zip ties can then 

be left on to provide additional 

product security if needed. 

VHB tape

Adhesive bond secures sensor head 

to product. You can reuse cables by 
replacing the tape after each use.

Security sensor

Mechanical switch detects whether 
a product is present. When a 
product is properly mounted, it 
pushes this switch down. When the 
switch is up, it triggers the alarm.
