Wireless ShatterPro Acoustic Sensor Installation
Instructions
Introduction
This is the Wireless ShatterPro Acoustic Sensor
Installation Instructions for models 584503-W (3 V) and
584509-W (9 V). The sensor is designed to detect breaking
glass from framed windows in the perimeter of a building.
Install the sensor on a perimeter loop armed whenever the
door and window contacts are armed. Avoid 24-hour loop
applications where the sensor is armed all day and all night.
The false-alarm technology will be pushed to its limit in a 24-
hour loop.
The sensor’s false-alarm immunity is best in rooms with only
moderate noise. Some sounds can duplicate the points on the
glassbreak pattern the sensor detects.
The sensor may not consistently detect cracks in glass, or
bullets which break through the glass. Glassbreak sensors
should always be complemented with interior protection.
Connect the sensor to a UL listed control panel, or a power
supply that provides at least four hours of standby power.
Use a 9-volt battery if longer life is needed in the 584509 -W.
Mounting location
The sensor must always be in direct line of sight of all windows
to be protected. The sensor cannot consistently detect glass
breaking around corners or in other rooms. There is no
required front, back, up or down orientation.
Wall mount
The best wall-mount location is on the opposite wall, assuming
the glass to be protected is within the sensor’s range and line
of sight. The adjoining wall can also be used.
Ceiling mount
Mount the sensor in a location that is in direct line of sight of
the glass to be protected. However, since sound travels
directionally out from a broken window, a position 8 ft. (2.4 m)
into the room provides better detection.
Use the following guidelines to determine the best mounting
location:
• Mount the sensor at least 3.3 ft. (1 m) from the windows
being protected and at least 4 ft. (1.2 m) from noise
sources such as TVs, speakers, sinks, and doors.
• Mount the sensor in the direct line of sight of the glas s to
be protected.
• Avoid rooms smaller than 10 x 10 ft. (3m x 3m).
• Avoid locations where lined, insulating, or sound-
deadening drapes or closed wooden shutters are used.
• Mount the sensor in a suitable environment: temperature
between 0 and 120°F (-18 and 50°C); and humidity
between 10 and 90% noncondensing. Do not install the
sensor in humid rooms. Excess moisture on the circuit
board can eventually cause a short and a false alarm.
• Mount the sensor on a stable surface up to 25 ft. (7.6 m)
from the farthest point on the glass surface.
• Avoid locations that expose the sensor to possible false -
alarm sources such as:
• glass airlocks and vestibule areas;
• kitchens;
• corner mounting;
• residential car garages;
• small utility rooms;
• stairwells;
• bathrooms; and
• small acoustically live rooms.
Coverage range
The sensor is omni-directional, providing 360° coverage.
Coverage is measured from the sensor to the point on the
glass farthest from the sensor. The sensor can be mounted as
close as 3.3 ft. (1 m) from the glass. The maximum range
depends on the type of glass being protected:
Armor-coated glass
Mount sensor no more than 12 ft. (3.6 m) from the glass.
