Notice!
If blinds or drapes are present, test the area by holding the hand-held tester behind the
closed blinds or drapes.
2. Press the test button on the tester. The LED on the detector stays on for 4 seconds to
indicate the glass is within detection range of the sensor. If the LED does not stay in a
solid state momentarily, but continues to blink, adjust the positioning of the detector so
that it is closer to the window, and re-test. Check the battery strength of the hand-held
testing device before the test.
Figure 5.1: Testing behind curtains
The detector switches from test mode to normal mode after at least 1 minute of silence from
the hand-held tester.
Notice!
When the detector is in normal mode, the LED is off unless a loud sound is detected.
Room acoustics can artificially extend the range of a glassbreak sensor. The specified sensor
range is for worst-case conditions. While the sensor likely functions at a greater range, it might
not detect a low volume breaking sound, or room acoustics might change at a later point in
time. Do not exceed the rated range of the sensor, regardless of what the tester shows.
Test the sensor operability
When the detector is in normal mode, the LED is off unless a loud sound is detected.
Therefore, to ensure the glassbreak has power and that the microphone is functional, perform
a simple hand clap test.
To perform a hand clap test, simply clap your hard loudly under the sensor. Verify the LED
blinks twice.
