Glassbreak
Detector
and
Magnetic
Contact
Installation
Instructions
•
Align the SWITCH with the
MAGNET to determine the
correct orientation for mounting.
The glassbreak detector and
magnetic contact housings must
be aligned and mounted
parallel to each other.
Configure jumpers W1-W4 to best suit the application.
Note:
Some product versions do not have all of the
jumpers.
•
W1:
Default: LEDs enabled. To disable LED opera-
tion, remove the jumper from position W1 on the PCB.
•
W2:
Default: alarm LED LATCH disabled. To enable
alarm LED LATCH, place a jumper across W2.
•
W3:
Default: magnetic contact enabled. To disable
the magnetic contact, place a jumper across W3.
•
W4:
Remove jumper for high sensitivity. Place jumper
across W4 for low sensitivity. Verify range by testing.
Note:
Test the FG-1508 at least once each year.
Test the detector with the FG-701 Glassbreak
Simulator.
Activating Test Mode
1
Position the simulator within 5 (1.5 m) of the
FG-1508 detector.
2
Switch the FG-701 simulator to ACTIVATE and
MANual modes.
3
Point the front of the simulator at the detector and
press the red start button.
The simulator buzzes, and the green LED on the
FG-1508 flashes once per second to indicate it is in
Test Mode.
If an FG-701 is not available, or if for any reason
remote activation cannot be used, use a small
screwdriver to short the test pads near location W4 on
the PCB. This activates Test Mode.
Note:
In Test Mode the LED disable jumper is
overridden.
Make sure to replace the front cover of the FG-1508
before testing.
Testing the FG-1508
1
Set the FG-701 switches to the TEST and FLEX
positions.
2
Press the red start button. The simulator clicks
on and starts an eight second armed period.
3
Position the FG-701 near the farthest point of the
glass and point it directly at the FG-1508. If
window coverings are present, close them fully
and hold the FG-701 behind them.
4
Generate a flex signal by carefully striking the
glass with a cushioned tool. The FG-701 responds
by producing a burst of glassbreak audio.
If both the flex and audio are received properly, the
red alarm LED on the FG-1508 lights.
IMPORTANT:
Some environmental factors may
reduce the detector activation range. If you do not see
the green LED flashing after pressing the red start
button, move closer to the detector and try again.
Testing the Audio Alone
You can also use the simulator in the MANual mode
to test audio alone. The blinking green LED on the
detector flickers when the simulator audio is received
correctly. (See the FG-701 Operating Instructions for
additional information.) Keep in mind that this is not
a complete test.
Exiting Test Mode
After testing, exit the Test Mode using the same
procedure for activating the Test Mode. The FG-1508
also automatically exits Test Mode five minutes after
the last glassbreak simulation.
Testing the Magnetic Contact (If Applicable)
With the magnetic contact enabled, the detector
signals an alarm to the control panel when the
normally closed magnetic contact opens. The LED
on the detector does not indicate the alarm condi-
tion. You must verify an open contact at the panel. To
reset the alarm relay, you must close the magnetic
contact (the door or window on which it is mounted
must be closed).

Test Pads
•
Route the wire through the wire entry hole in the PCB
housing and reconnect the housing to the mounting plate.
•
Cut and strip wire ends 1/4 (6.5 mm).
•
Wire the detector using 18-22 AWG (1.02mm-0.64mm).
Reverse polarity connections will not damage the detector.
•
Replace front cover.
For mounting guidelines, refer to the Supplemental Information on the back page.
•
Insert a screwdriver into the
slot at the end of the housing
and gently depress the front
cover latch. Lift and remove
the front cover.
•
Separate the mounting plate
from the glassbreak housing.
Insert a screwdriver into the
slot at the top of the PCB,
slightly twist, and gently push
downward on the latch.
•
To remove the front cover of
the magnetic contact housing,
insert a screwdriver into the
slot at the end of the back
cover and gently depress the
front cover latch. Lift and
remove the front cover.
•
Route the wires through the wiring channel.
Remove breakout tab and use an industry standard
4 (10 cm) tie wrap if a strain relief is required.
•
Secure the mounting plate and magnetic contact
housing with #6 (3.5 mm) screws (not provided).
•
To prepare for wiring, remove the appropriate
breakout tab in the PCB housing.

TIP:
Temporarily mount the detector in the intended
location and power it with a 9 V battery until testing
establishes effective range coverage. If the 9 V
battery is low, it cannot supply sufficient power, and
the detector will not operate.
