TESTING THE SENSOR
Put Sensor in Test Mode
1. Connect 9-volt battery to sensor for pre-testing.
2. Use double-stick tape provided to temporarily mount sensor
in desired location.
3. Use Sentrol 5709C Hand-Held Tester to put sensor into test
mode. Set tester to tempered glass and hold on top of
sensor. Activate tester this will trip sensor into test mode
for one minute. In test mode, LED will blink continuously.
To extend test time, activate tester at least once a minute.
Test the Sensor (sensor must be in test mode, blinking)
1. The 5709C tester has settings for different types of glass.
Use tempered setting if unsure of glass type.
2. Hold tester near surface of glass to be protected and aim at
sensor. Press test button.
If drapes or blinds are present, hold the tester behind the
closed drapes or blinds.
3. If LED stays on for four seconds, glass is within detection
range of sensor.
4. If LED does not stay on, reposition the sensor and retest.
(Verify adequate battery strength in tester.)
5. For latching LED: open the spring clip and provide a power
reset by removing power and resetting the LED.
The ShatterPro sensors are 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' (1 m) from the glass.
1. Mounted on opposite wall or adjoining walls, range is 25 ft.
(7.5m) for plate, tempered, laminated and wired glass.
2. Mounted on the ceiling, maximum range is 25 ft. (7.5m) for
plate, tempered, laminated and wired glass.
3. For armor-coated glass, mount sensor no more than 12 ft.
(3.65m) from glass.
Recommended Glass Size:
Minimum 1' x 2' (0.3 m x 0.6 m) or larger
Glass thickness:
Plate: 3/32" to 1/4" (2.4 mm to 6.4 mm)
Tempered: 1/8" to 1/4" (3.2 mm to 6.4 mm)
Wired: 1/4" (6.4 mm)
Laminated: 1/8" to 1/4" (3.2 mm to 6.4 mm)
For Best Detection, Avoid Installing In:
Rooms with lined, insulating, or sound deadening drapes.
Rooms with closed wooden window shutters inside.
How Test Mode Works:
Test Mode is activated by the hand-held tester when the tester is
held directly over the microphone and set off. The sensors LED
will blink continuously for 1 minute. During this time, the
installer can test the unit using the instructions above. When the
system is armed and the ShatterPro II trips to an alarm condition,
the LED will latch solid for 4 seconds and then revert back to a
1 minute test mode. At the end of one minute, the LED will
extinguish if in set up LED mode, or the LED will latch if set
for Latching LED. Open spring clip for Latching LED.
