User manual

When the ComputaLock/Alarm is to be used in a permanent location it is advised the main unit is mounted to a

solid object, for example a wall, floor, or a post, using one of the brackets supplied.

For equipment located very close to a wall or floor, use the black wall bracket provided. For equipment standing

on tables or trolleys (away from walls), the main Lock/Alarm unit can be mounted on a table/trolley leg using the

red U bracket supplied. Alternatively, the unit can be fixed to a flat table top using the wall bracket.

COMPUTALOCK/ALARM - Instructions

Installing the Battery

(a) Lift up the red cable clamp on the Lock/Alarm unit (you may find this easier if you press the centre of

the flat surface of the clamp with your thumb whilst at the same time pulling the clamp open with

your other fingers) and unwrap the cable to reveal the front cover release tabs (see diagram below).

(b) Ensure the key is in the unlocked (vertical) position and remove the front cover of the unit by pressing

in the top or bottom release tab (you will need to use a small screwdriver to help you do this) and

pulling the cover away from the base at the same time.

Replace the battery cover and tighten screw fully.

(d) Refit the front cover of the Lock/Alarm unit (ensure the key remains in the fully unlocked position as

you do this) ensuring that BOTH release tabs click FULLY back into place.

Fitting the Lock/Alarm unit

using the wall bracket

1. Position the flat side of the bracket

against the flat surface to which you wish

to fix the Lock/Alarm unit.

2. Use the wall bracket to mark out the

holes on the surface it is to be attached.

3. For brick and concrete use a 1/4”

(6mm) diameter drill and insert the plastic

plugs supplied. For wood use a 1/8”

(3mm) diameter drill (plugs not required).

4. Follow step (a) in the ‘Installing the battery’ section above

5. Secure the wall bracket using the smaller screws through the holes at either end of the bracket (ie. the non

bossed holes) into the holes you have drilled. Using the long screws supplied, fix the lock/alarm unit through the

wall bracket and into the holes you have drilled (See diagram). Tighten all screws used with a screwdriver, ensuring

you do not over tighten and distort the metal chassis.

6. Follow steps (b) to (d) in the ‘ Installing the battery’ section. If battery already installed then omit step (c).

ComputaLock/Alarm has been designed as a deterrent to theft. The manufacturer/supplier

cannot accept any liability for personal injury, property damage or loss.

Fitting the cable fixing plates

1. On each item of equipment you wish to protect, select a flat area on the main chassis (NOT on panels or casings

which can be easily removed) which is free from air vents and mouldings.

2. Using an abrasive pad or paper. slightly roughen the area where the cable fixing plate is to be placed. Brush off any

remaining debris. Also rub the base of the cable fixing with the abrasive pad/paper.

3. Apply an even layer of adhesive to the base of the cable fixing plate and then attach one of the rubber pads to the

base and hold for 30 seconds. Be particularly careful not to allow any adhesive to come into contact with your skin.

4. Apply an even layer of adhesive to the other side of the rubber pad and then position on the selected area of the

equipment. Apply firm pressure hold for 30 seconds. Once again be very careful not to touch any adhesive.

5. Handling strength of the bond will develop in about 2-3 minutes. Full bond strength will occur within 24 hours.
