laminated, and wired glass
– In a suitable environment: temperature between -18 and 50
ﾟ
C (0 and 120

Notice!
Glass break detectors are intended only as a component of a perimeter protection system.
They should always be used in conjunction with motion sensors.
Testing
Test the detector at least once each year. Test the detector with the Sentrol 5709C hand-held
tester to set the sensor into test mode. Set the tester to tempered glass, hold the speaker
directly on top of the sensor, and activate the tester. The sensor alarms, and then goes into
test mode for one minute. When in test mode, the LED on the sensor blinks continuously.
Extend the test mode time by holding the speaker directly over the sensor at least once a
minute.
