Condition:Used Brand:Universal Security Instruments Manufacturer Part Number:U-2AS

Vintage "Devil Dog" style shaker vibration motion sensor switch made by Universal Security Instruments, Owings Mills / Baltimore, Maryland, USA.  This is equivalent to the so-called "Devil Dog" shaker switch.  Model # U-2AS

We think these "Devil Dog" style sensors are no longer manufactured.  The photo of the car appears to be later 1970s, but these shaker switches looked the same in the 50s and 60s.  Universal Security Instruments no longer sells these.

New,  in original unopened package.  Includes instruction sheet sealed inside the package.  See photo of the typical instruction sheet.

These were popular in the in the 1950s, 60s, 70s, maybe into the 80s as a motion sensor in a vehicle theft alarm.  For sensing disturbance of a vehicle such as by jacking, towing, possibly entry (if set to high sensitivity), or other disturbance.  

Sensitivity is adjustable with  screw and locking nut located on top.

Case is typically grounded through the mounting screw to metal mounting surface, or a ground wire can be added with ring lug and wire using the mounting screw if the mounting surface is fiberglas or other rigid plastic.   The electrical terminal on top provides a momentary ground signal when sensor is disturbed- typically used with some type of latching relay or latching circuit.


Shipping will be $6.00.

Rendering of the Vauxhall Astra Roadster With the new Vauxhall Astra starting to be pushed by Vauxhall ahead of its official launch at Frankfurt in September, thoughts are now turning to what derivatives of the new Astra are to come. Vauxhall are already committed to the three door hatchback and the estate as the follow up after the launch, but an obvious contender is an open-topped Astra. And if these renderings are to be believed it will be a bit of a show-stopper.

2012 VW Tiguan gets R-Line options The new VW Tiguan turned up earlier this year, looking for all the world like a mini-me VW Touareg. But with the reveal of the 2012 Tiguan came no news of the R-Line add-ons which turned the old model Tiguan from a bit of a bland and boring-looking compact SUV, to something more appealing (as we discovered when we reviewed the old model VW Tiguan R-Line). But now the 2012 Tiguan is in the showrooms VW has decided the time is right to offer a bit more pizzazz for the new Tiguan, so they’ve revealed R-Line packages for the interior and exterior.
