MOUNTING PROCEDURE (continued)

MOUNTING LOCATION

The FG-1015 can be mounted in corners, on walls, ceilings or posts.
Refer to the guidelines below when selecting a mounting location:

Mount the unit within15' (4.6 M) of the glass.

There is no minimum range, but the unit must have a clear line-of-
sight and a clear view of the protected glass, or on the ceiling directly
in front of the glass.

The preferred location is on the wall or ceiling directly opposite the
glass.

When wall mounting, mount the unit at a height of at least 6 feet (1.8 m)
to avoid accidental screening if furniture in the room is moved.

Curtains, blinds, and other window coverings will absorb energy from
breaking glass.  Heavy curtains, for example, will effectively block
the sound signal. In these cases, mount the unit on the window
frame behind the window covering, or above the window.  Make sure
to test the unit thoroughly for proper detection.

Do not mount within 3 feet (0.9 m) of forced air ducts, sirens, or bells
measuring two inches (5 cm) or more in diameter.

Be sure to test the unit for detection in the final mounting
location.

Tip:  It is a good idea to mount the unit temporarily in the intended
location and power it with a 9 V battery until testing has established
proper detection.  If the 9 V battery is weak, the unit will not operate.

3. For better access, detach the front cover by opening fully, twisting

slightly, and gently pulling the front cover off.

4. If surface wiring is required, use the optional Wiring Spacer Plate

(model number FG-SP1 or FG-SP3).

NOTE: If required, the front cover can be secured with a screw after installation.
Break out the cover screw breakout flash, and secure the front cover with a #4
(M 3) screw.

WIRING

1. For surface-wired installation, use optional Wiring Spacer Plate

(model number FG-SP1 or FG-SP3).

2. Route wire through Wire Entry Hole in the center of the printed circuit

board (PCB), and strip wire ends 1/4" (6.5 mm).

3. Wire the unit as shown, (use 22 - 18 AWG).  Reverse polarity

connections will not damage the unit.

4. When wiring is complete, push excess wire back into the wall.

MOUNTING PROCEDURE

IMPORTANT:  Test the unit in the desired mounting location 

before

drilling mounting holes.

1. To open the sensor, use a screwdriver to push down on the latch

at the top of the unit.

NOTE: The FG-1015 is designed to be mounted without removing
the PCB.  DO NOT remove the PCB from the protective enclosure.

2. For mounting the FG-1015 sensor, #6 (M 3.5) or #8 (M 4) screws

are recommended. (Screws are not provided.)

TESTING

The FG-1015 should be tested at least once each year.  Test the unit with
the FG-701 Glass-Break Simulator.  The model FG-700 Glass-Break
Simulator can be used if it is set for the TEMPered glass sound.  Other
glass-break simulators will not give accurate indication of range.

You must place the FG-1015 in Test Mode before you can test the unit.

To activate Test Mode:

1. Stand within 10 feet (3 m) of the unit.
2. Switch the FG-701 to ACTIVATE and MANual modes.
3. Point the front of the simulator at the unit and press the red start

button.

You should hear a short buzz from the simulator, and the green LED on
the FG-1015 should begin flashing about once per second to indicate it is
in Test Mode.

NOTE:  In Test Mode, the LEDs are enabled whether jumper W1
 is cut or not.

If an FG-701 is not available, or if for any reason remote activation
cannot be used, use a screwdriver to short the test pads at location S3
on the PCB (see Figure 1). This will activate the Test Mode.  Make sure
to close the front cover of the FG-1015 before beginning the test.

To test the FG-1015:

1. Place the unit in the Test Mode as described above.
2. Set the FG-701 switches to the TEST and FLEX positions and close

the cover.

3. Press the red start button.  The simulator will "click" on and start an

eight second armed period.

4. Position the FG-701 near the farthest point of the protected glass and

point it directly at the FG-1015.

5. Generate a flex signal by carefully striking the glass with a cushioned

tool.  The FG-701 will respond by producing a burst of glass-break
audio.

If both the flex and audio are received properly, the red alarm LED on the
FG-1015 will light.
