Recommendations for Sensor Installation and Placement
Door/Window Sensors and Glass Break Detectors
Install door/window sensors and/or glass break detectors at every
possible
location of entry, both
upstairs and down.
Glass Break Detectors
For best detector performance, select a mounting location that is:
Within 7.6 m (25ft) of the protected glass
Within clear view of the protected glass
On the same wall as the protected glass
At least 2 m (6.5ft) from the floor
At least 1 m (3ft) from forced-air ducts
At least 1 m (3ft) from sirens or bells greater that 5 cm (2in.) in diameter
On a window frame if any heavy window covering is present
Avoid mounting the detector in the following locations:
In a corner
On free standing post or pillars
In rooms with noisy equipment such as air compressors, bells/ door bell, and power tools
In bathrooms (a slamming toilet seat will easily fault a glass break detector)
