The ShatterPro is designed to detect the breaking of

framed glass mounted in an outside wall. Testing the

sensor with unframed glass, such as broken bottles, etc.,

may not trip the sensor. Use the Sentrol 5709C hand-held

tester and the following procedure to test the ShatterPro.

1. Set the tester to “tempered glass.”

Note

The 5709C tester has a different setting for each
type of glass. You should always set the tester
for tempered or laminated glass (either is correct
and both have the same range) unless you are
certain that all the glass to be protected is plate
glass.

2. Hold the tester speaker directly on top of the sensor

and activate the tester. The sensor will alarm, then it

will go into test mode for one minute. While in the test

mode, the LED on the sensor will blink continuously.

Note

Extend the test mode time by activating the
tester at least once a minute.

3. Holding the tester near the surface of the glass and

behind any closed drapes or blinds, aim the tester at

the ShatterPro and hold down the test button (see

Figure 5).

Note

Remember, the ShatterPro should not be installed
in rooms with lined, insulating, or sound
deadening drapes or rooms with closed wooden
window shutters inside.

4. Observe the LED on the sensor. If the sensor is

detecting the tester signal, the LED will remain on but

will stop blinking momentarily. This indicates the

sensor is mounted within range and is working

properly.

Note

If the sensor LED blinks continuously when the
test button is pressed, the sensor is not detecting
the tester signal. Replace the tester battery if you
suspect it is not producing a strong signal. If you
are certain that the tester signal is strong,
reposition the sensor closer to the window and
retest. Add more sensors if necessary to achieve
complete coverage.

5. The sensor will automatically exit test mode if it does

not sense any signals for 1 minute.

The “Hand Clap” Test

You can test the ShatterPro without enabling the test mode

by clapping your hands loudly under the sensor. This

sound will not trip the alarm, but the sensor LED will blink

twice. This is a signal that the sensor has power and that

the microphone and circuit board are functioning.

Adding the ShatterPro to Panel
Memory

The following procedure is a general guideline for adding

(learning) the sensor into panel memory. Refer to your

panel installation instructions or reference manual for

complete details.

1. Set the panel to Program mode.
2. Proceed to the LEARN SENSORS menu.
3. Select the appropriate sensor group and sensor

number.

4. Trip the tamper switch on the sensor

.

5. Repeat the above steps until all sensors are added

(learned) into the panel.

6. Exit Program mode.

Testing the System

The following steps describe general guidelines for testing

the sensor. Refer to your panel installation instructions or

reference manual for complete details.

1. Set the panel to the Dealer Sensor Test mode.
2. Use the hand-held tester to trip the sensor.
3. Listen for status beeps (or a voice message) to

indicate that the panel is receiving transmissions from

the sensor

OR

Look for a message on the touchpad display.

Note

Refer to you panel installation instructions for
troubleshooting information.
