Auto Sentry® flex User Manual 41 Introduction
The video sounds the message, “Attention. The car wash is closed. Caution. The system is armed.
Do not touch. Leave the area immediately or the authorities will be notified.”
The Vandalism Alarm settings are configured through the System Setup/Devices/Settings/
TouchConfiguration/Vandalism Deterrent selection within WashConnect (See Figure25).

In addition to the video, and up to two fired outputs, you can configure the system to send a
Warning email Alert via WashConnect. The email would post an Event Code of 20030. The
received Warning email message reads: This event indicates the vandalism warning alarm is on,
meaning activity was detected in front of the Auto Sentry when the wash is closed.
Deterrent Break-In Alarm
Guard your Auto Sentry with the Seismic or Electronic Vibration Detector. This feature is optional
and can be purchased for an additional fee. Contact your salesperson to purchase. The Electronic
Vibration Detector needs to be installed inside the Auto Sentry, and wires connected to the HV
Sense/Vandal input on the SIO or PIO board. When the Seismic detector senses tampering of the
unit, it triggers the Deterrent Break-In alarm. The ICS VandalismAlarm.avi video plays on the Auto
Sentry screen, “Tampering attempt detected. Police have been notified.” Whether the police are
notified is up to your alarm company but the message acts as a deterrent for the vandal. When the
detector is triggered, the software will fire up to two outputs that may control lights, horns, or
connect to the input to your on-site alarm system that triggers whatever additional security and
police notifications services are provided by your alarm company.
