International ShatterPro Glassbreak Sensor
Installation Sheet
Product summary
The Interlogix International ShatterPro
®
omnidirectional
glassbreak sensor (60-873-43-EUR) provides 360 degree
coverage. It can be mounted on the ceiling, the opposite wall,
or on adjoining walls. It has a range of up to 6 m for glass
panes 0.3 m x 0.6 m or larger.

Figure 2: Sensor front and side views
The maximum detection range is 6 m for plate, tempered,
laminated, and wired glass. For armor-coated glass, the
maximum detection range is 3.65 m. Coverage is measured
from the sensor to the point on the glass farthest from the
sensor (see D in Figure 3 below). See Specifications on page 3
for recommended glass thickness.

Note
: ShatterPro may not consistently detect cracks in glass,
or bullets that break through the glass. Glassbreak sensors
should always be backed up by interior protection.
Installation guidelines
•
For best detection, avoid installing in rooms with lined,
insulated, or sound deadening drapes or rooms with
closed wooden window shutters inside.
•
Don’t use near an air compressor. A blast of air may
cause a false alarm.
•
Avoid stairwells, glass booths, and all rooms smaller than
3 m x 3 m.
•
The Pattern Recognition Technology™ of the ShatterPro
ignores most false alarm sounds. Some sounds can
duplicate the glassbreak pattern the ShatterPro detects,
however, so the ShatterPro works best in rooms with only
moderate noise. Avoid rooms where white noise, such as
a fan is present. Avoid rooms with noisy areas or multiple
noise sources such as small kitchens, bathrooms, or
garages, etc.
Note
: For glassbreak detection in these applications
(where ShatterPro is not appropriate) use shock sensors
on the windows or window frames.
•
Avoid adding (learning) the sensor into 24-hour sensor
groups, where the sensor will be armed even when the
room is in use. Like a motion detector, a glassbreak
sensor may be tripped when occupants are in the
protected area. Adding the ShatterPro to a perimeter
group, which is armed only when the perimeter doors and
windows are armed, will help prevent false alarms.
•
Do not install in humid rooms. The ShatterPro is not
hermetically sealed. Excess moisture on the circuit board
can eventually cause an electrical short and possibly a
false alarm.
•
The sensor can be mounted as close as 1 m from the
glass.
