Note:
It is recommended to have a strong signal strength and you must verify the
signal strength using the control panel's diagnostic test. For detailed Diagnostics Test
instructions, refer to the control panel installer guide.
Note:
If the microphone self-test option is enabled, the microphone performs a test
periodically. A beeping sound is emitted during the periodic test as follows:
- After power up or tamper close, 5 consecutive beeps
- During normal operation, once an hour
- If the self-test fails, once every 10 minutes
Testing the Glass Break sensor
About this task:
The PGP922 detects when framed glass mounted on an outside wall shatters. Testing the sensor
with unframed glass, broken bottles, etc. might not trip the sensor. False alarms such as glass
breaking in the middle of a room will not activate the sensor.
A. Basic Test
Test the device's low frequency (FLEX) response by thumping the protected glass with a cushioned
object. The green LED will light for 2 seconds. Repeat the test if necessary.
B. Extended glass break simulation test (optional)
This optional test activates the device with flex and audio sounds, that simulate the glass breaking
sound of a window. Take care not to shatter the glass during testing.
To test complete the following steps:
1. Switch the device to Test Mode.
2. Generate a flex signal and simulate a glass breaking sound by using one of the following
methods:
- Simulator in manual mode. Hold the simulator close to the protected glass. Thump
the glass and immediately start the simulator manually to create the sound of
breaking glass. Examples of such simulators are AFT-100 or 5709C.
- Simulator with automatic activation. Hold the simulator close to the protected glass.
Thump the glass, the simulator creates the sound of breaking glass automatically.
Examples of automatic simulators using flex signals are FG-700/ FG-701 or GT-2.
- Hand clap Thump the glass and immediately clap hands firmly three times. This
method is best used in relatively small rooms with a maximum distance up to 5 or 6 m
(16 ft or 20 ft).
Note:
The instructions for some simulators instruct you to switch the glass break detector to
Test mode by sounding a special signal. The PGP922 device has an inbuilt Test mode
therefore it is not necessary to use that switch.
Use a glass pane with dimensions of at least 0.5 x 0.5 m (1.5 x 1.5 ft) to assure success of
the simulator test.
Always aim the simulator at the detector being tested.
3. The device will alarm, the red LED lights for 2 seconds.
