Installation Instructions

(refer to image shown right):

Mount the Sentry Data Logger with the included mounting tape. The
Mounting Bracket can also be used. This bracket securely holds the
sensor connectors.

Be sure to mount the unit so that the X and Y directions (noted on the
case top) are accurate because this is how the G-force values are
displayed in the software.

WARNING!

If the unit is mounted on an angle from the vehicle’s centerline, the acceleration reading will not

be accurate.
