Wireless ShatterPro Acoustic Sensor Installation Instructions

Test mode

To put the sensor in test mode, do the following:

1. Use the 5709C handheld tester to put the sensor into test

mode. Set the tester to tempered glass and hold the tester

on top of the sensor.

2. Activate the tester. The sensor will alarm, then go into test

mode for one minute. In test mode, the LED will blink

continuously. To extend test time, fire the tester at the

sensor at least once a minute.

Sensor test

The sensor must be in test mode (blinking). To test the sensor,

do the following:

1. The tester has a different setting for each type of glass.

Set the tester for tempered or laminated glass unless you

are certain that all the glass to be protected is plate glass.

2. Hold the tester near the surface of the glass to be

protected and aim the speaker at the sensor. Be sure the

tester is at the point on the glass farthest from the

detector. If closed drapes or curtains are present, hold the

tester behind them (Figure 13 below).

3. Press the test button on the tester. The LED on the sensor

should stay on for 4 seconds to indicate the glass is within

detection range of the sensor. If the LED does not stay on

for 4 seconds, move the sensor and retest.

If the sensor will not activate within its stated range of

coverage, check for battery strength in the tester. A new tester

battery will likely restore range. You may need to use

additional sensors to achieve adequate coverage.

The sensor will automatically change from test mode to normal

mode approximately one minute after it last hears the tester. In

normal mode the LED does not blink unless it hears a loud

sound. In normal mode, the sensor will not trip to the tester,

unless the tester is held next to the sensor. Each time the

sensor alarms, it also goes into test mode for one minute.

Room acoustics can artificially extend the range of a

glassbreak sensor. The specified range of the sensor has been

establis hed for worst-case conditions. While the sensor will

likely function at additional range, it may miss a minimum

output break, or room acoustics may change at some future

time, bringing the sensor range back into normal 20 ft. (6 m)

conditions. Do not exceed the rated range of the sensor,

regardless of what the tester shows.

Hand clap test

You can check the sensor while in normal mode, simply by

clapping your hands loudly under the sensor. The LED will

blink twice, but the sensor will not trip. This verifies visually that

there is power to the sensor, and that the microphone and

circuit board are functioning.

The hand clap activation is only momentary, so there is no

appreciable effect on battery life.

To disable this custom test function, remove the circuit board

from the housing and clip one of the wires on the LED. The

LED will no longer be operational, but the sensor can still be

tested using the transmitter and the control panel.

Maintenance

When installed and used properly, the sensor provides years of

service with minimal maintenance. You should test the sensor

annually to ensure proper operation.

Clean the cover with a damp (water) cloth as needed to keep it

free of dust and dirt. Always test the sensor after cleaning it.
