Glass Break Detector
Product Introduction
The 5845GBW Glass Break Detector (product) is ideal for applications
where hardwired acoustic sensors are impractical, listens for actual
patterns of breaking glass using Pattern Recognition Technology™
across the full audio band. The factory set recognition patterns detect
breaking glass of framed perimeter windows in a building vs. a
drinking glass breaking within a room. This product features a 20-ft. (6
m) range from sensor to glass.
The product is suitable for use in quiet occupied areas on the perimeter
loop. The sensor’s low-profile housing conceals the wireless transmitter
and battery.
A simple hand clap feature lets the user confirm that the sensor is
operational, or a handheld tester can be activated at close range.
This wireless Glass Break Detector complies with the ANSI/UL 639
standard for Intrusion products. It is intended for residential indoor
dwelling unit applications and other areas approved by the authority
having jurisdiction (AHJ). It is not intended for use in industrial
applications.
This product operates in conjunction with your wireless Control Panel,
providing a local indication. Refer to the panel installation instructions
for revision verification details. Please contact Technical Support for any
questions regarding compatibility.

General Information
Congratulations on purchasing your Glass Break Detector. This product is
designed to be used with a Control Panel as an intrusion signaling
device.
Install the sensor on a perimeter loop armed whenever the door and
window contacts are armed. Avoid 24-hour loop applications where
the sensor is armed all day and all night. The false-alarm technology
will be pushed to its limit in a 24-hour loop.
The sensor’s false-alarm immunity is best in rooms with only moderate
noise. Some sounds can duplicate the points on the glass break
pattern the sensor detects. The sensor may not consistently detect
cracks in glass, or bullets which break through the glass. Glass break
sensors should always be complemented with interior protection.

Mounting Guideline
This product is a member of a reliable, high-quality product family
using the latest technology available. Review the information in this
section to ensure you get the most out of the product.
Choosing an Installation Location
The sensor must always be in direct line of sight of all windows to be
protected. The sensor cannot consistently detect glass breaking around
corners or in other rooms. There is no required front, back, up or down
orientation.
Wall mount…
The best wall-mount location is on the opposite wall, assuming the
glass to be protected is within the sensor’s range and line of sight. The
adjoining wall can also be used.
Ceiling mount…
Mount the sensor in a location that is in direct line of sight of the glass
to be protected. However, since sound travels directionally out from a
broken window, a position 8 ft. (2.4 m) into the room provides better
detection.
Use the following guidelines to determine the best mounting location:
o
Mount the sensor at least 3.3 ft. (1 m) from the windows being
protected and at least 4 ft. (1.2 m) from noise sources such as
TVs, speakers, sinks, and doors.
o
Mount the sensor in the direct line of sight of the glass to be
protected.
o
Mount the sensor in a suitable environment: temperature
between 0 and 120°F (-18 and 50°C); and humidity between 10
and 90% non-condensing.
o
Mount the sensor on a stable surface up to 25 ft. (7.6 m) from
the farthest point on the glass surface.
Recommended locations and Range
The sensor is omni-directional, providing 360° coverage. Coverage is
measured from the sensor to the point on the glass farthest from the
sensor. The sensor can be mounted as close as 3.3 ft. (1 m) from the
glass. The maximum range depends on the type of glass being
protected:
o
Armor-coated glass
- Mount sensor no more than 12 ft. (3.6 m)
from the glass.
o
Plate, tempered, laminated, and wired glass
- Mounted on
the ceiling or the opposite or adjoining wall, maximum range is
25 ft. (7.6 m).
