Installing the HS-01

Pistol

Warning:
Be sure the weapon is unloaded during this process.
  1. Find desired location on the holster
    1. The ideal location is on the inside or edge of the holster. If applied to the outside, the sensor is susceptible to damage.
    2. Make sure, when applied, that metal from the weapon is detectable by the sensor.
  2. Test the Sensor
    1. Insert the weapon into the holster and hold the sensor in the desired location with a finger.
    2. The LED will flash green when it detects the weapon.  
    3. Remove weapon from the holster.
    4. The LED will flash red, and the BWC will begin recording.
  3. Mount the Sensor
    1. Once satisfied with the location, use the adhesive to attach the sensor to the holster and test again.
    2. Mount the sensor in the same location for same style holsters.

       

See the image below for an example:

Note:
  • The surface of each holster is different, so it is best to find as flat a surface as possible for mounting. 
  • Mounting on the outside of the holster could result in damage to the sensor.

 

TASER® 

Warning:
Always deactivate TASER and remove cartridge during installation.
  1. Find the Desired Location
    1. The sensor requires a metal surface to be used on the weapon. Since the TASER®  is made of plastic, it requires a metal tape to be applied on the exterior.
    2. Locate an area on the TASER®  and the TASER®  holster where the metal tape and the sensor can both be mounted and be able to connect through the holster.
    3. Apply the metal tape to the TASER® .
  2. Test the Sensor
    1. Test the sensor by holding it on the desired location with a finger with the TASER®  inserted. 
    2. The LED will flash green when it detects the TASER® . 
    3. Remove the TASER® . 
    4. The sensor's LED will flash red, and the BWC will begin recording.
  3. Mount the Sensor
    1. Use the adhesive to attach the sensor to the holster and test again.
    2. Mount the sensor in the same location for same-style TASER®  holsters.
