1.0 Overview
The RF1100E Wireless Glass Break Transmitter is a
wireless transmitter used for detecting breaking glass. It
has two tamper switches: a cover and wall (optional). If
the control panel is programmed to receive tamper
events, activating either switch sends a notification to
the control panel.
Radio frequency (RF) supervision is provided by
transmitting a signal to the receiver every 15 min if
there is no alarm activity. All transmissions from the
RF1100E send battery status information.
2.0 Installation
Considerations
Mount the RF1100E on flat surfaces, such as ceilings
and walls. Mount the unit to optimize glass break
detection. Refer to
Figure 2
and
Figure 3
for mounting
examples.
In normal residential or commercial applications,
locate the RF1100E within 100 m of its assigned
receiver.
For best detector performance, select a
mounting location that is:
•
within 7.6 m of the protected glass
•
within clear view of the protected
glass (there is no minimum range)
•
at least 2 m from the floor
•
at least 1 m from forced-air ducts
•
at least 1 m from sirens or bells
greater than 5 cm in diameter
•
on a window frame if any heavy
window covering is present
Avoid mounting the detector:
•
in a corner
•
on the same wall as the protected
glass
•
on free-standing posts or pillars
•
in rooms with noisy equipment such as
air compressors, bells, and power tools
Test the detector in the desired mounting
location before drilling mounting holes.
Refer to
Section 3.2 Testing
on page 5
.
The RF1100E’s maximum outside RF range is
approximately 300 m.

1 Best location: where the RF1100E is most effective.
2 Satisfactory location: where the effectiveness of the RF1100E may
be reduced.
3 Poor location: where the effectiveness of the RF1100E is
impaired.
