Glass Break Sensor

Functionality
The Glass Break Sensor is ideal for securing any room with multiple windows, by detecting the unique sound frequency of window glass being broken. This works best with panel type glass that is seated in a window frame.

Mounting

• Select a spot between either next to or within 20 feet from the window or windows you wish to protect

• Make sure the surface is clean and dry.

• Once the safety backing is removed, hold the sensor to the surface firmly for at least 30 seconds

Placement Recommendations

• An area that has multiple windows on the entry-level of the home

• Areas with a lot of traffic with multiple windows

Where NOT to Place

• Directly on a window

• In stairwells

• Near air vents

• In rooms smaller than 100 square feet

• In rooms with excessive white noise

• In high-humidity areas

Sensitivity
There are two switches inside the Glass Break Sensor that control how sensitive it is. The switches can be adjusted to best match the distance the sensor is from the furthest window it is protecting. The switches can be adjusted if the customer is receiving false alarms. For example, if the window you are protecting is 10 ft away, make sure the setting is set to “MEDIUM (13 FT)” and not “MAX (20 FT)”. Smaller protected areas are less prone to false alarms than larger ones

Test Mode

The sensor can only be tested in TEST mode, which will be entered for five minutes after the sensor is powered on. The LED will flash once per second during this time, and the sensor can be tested with a glass break detector or other loud noise. If an alarm is detected, the LED will flash rapidly for 2 seconds and an alarm signal will be sent to the panel. If the sensor does NOT trip, check the internal sensitive settings to make sure they are sufficiently high.
