Overview

GlassTrek delivers effective coverage of plate, tempered, and laminated glass 

without the need for special sensitivity adjustments. GlassTrek can be used in 

most protected areas, including rooms with blinds, curtains, or multiple 

windows, as long as careful coverage tests are conducted using TestTrek. 

Breakage in panes of glass 40.6cm x 61cm (16in x 24in) or larger will be 

detected, for every standard thickness of plate (0.3cm x 0.6cm or 1/8in-1/4in). 

The GlassTrek detector should not be connected to 24 hour protection 

zones. Installation is not recommended in protected areas that contain 

any of the following: windows with closed wooden interior shutters, 

windows with insulated, lined, or sound-muffling drapes, and rooms 

with ceilings higher than 4.5m (15ft). If ceiling-mounted, it should not 

be mounted in rooms smaller than 3m x 3m (10ft x 10ft) where loud 

noise is common or rooms where machinery noise is present.

Installation Location

Look for installation locations on the ceiling or walls adjacent or opposite to 

the protected glass and ensure that the installation will respect the detection 

angle as shown in figure 1. Make sure that the microphone side of the 

detector has a direct and unobstructed view of the protected glass and that 

the detector is positioned so that the protected glass lies within the optimal 

detection angle. Avoid proximity to noisy objects such as bells, fans, 

compressors and loud machinery. 

Installing GlassTrek

 (see figure 3)

1. Remove the cover by pressing the opening pin (A) on the side of the 

detector.

2. Remove the PCB and run the wires through one of the openings on the 

side (C) or back (D) of the case.

3. Mount the detector in its location by drilling screws into the screw holes 

(B).

4. Connect the PCB terminals (see figure 2).

5. Replace the PCB and close the cover.

6. Test the GlassTrek (see “Test Mode” under “Utilities”).

Powering Up

After the initial power up sequence, the GlassTrek unit remains in test mode 

for approximately 1 minute.

Display Mode

Red LED:

1. Intermittent flashing takes place upon recognition of high level attack 

signals. (Can be tested by clapping or knocking close to the detector.)

2. 5-second illumination if a glass break is detected when alarm memory 

latch is "off" (

J1

 ON).

3. Continuous illumination upon detection of a glass break when alarm 

memory latch is "on" (

J1

 OFF). 

4. 3-minute continuous flashing indicates unit is in "test" mode.

Green LED:

Will flash intermittently when spectrum analysis is in progress, indicating 

attack analysis has been successfully confirmed and part of the frequency 

spectrum is valid.

Sensitivity 

Setting

Regular sensitivity

If the environment has damping materials such as drapes, 

carpets, furniture. Install at 1.2m to 9m (4ft to 30ft) from the 

protected glass.

Low sensitivity

If the environment produces echoes, as when the walls and 

ceilings are concrete or metal. Install at 1.2m to 4.5m (4ft to 

15ft) from the protected glass.

Alarm 

Memory

When an alarm occurs, the alarm relay remains latched for 5 

seconds. The alarm memory feature can also latch the red LED 

upon detection.

Alarm memory disabled:

The red LED illuminates for 5 seconds.

Alarm memory enabled:

The red LED remains on (latched) until you set jumper 

J1

 on 

and remove it again, or you disable Alarm Memory in section 

[001], or you disconnect and restore power to the detector.

Test Mode

To test the GlassTrek detector you must enter test mode and 

use a TestTrek unit (459). 
1. With the TestTrek unit (V2.0 or higher) within 2.5m (8ft) of the 

GlassTrek, hold the test button down. A series of beeps is 

produced which signals the GlassTrek to enter test mode. 

You can also enter 123 in section

 [002]

, or remove and 

replace Jumper 

J1

.

2. The red and green LEDs illuminate for 5 seconds, followed 

by an intermittent flashing of the red LED to indicate it is in 

test mode. GlassTrek will exit test mode after approximately 

3 minutes.

3. Place the TestTrek unit near the protected window and then 

press the red “push” button on the TestTrek unit. A beep is 

produced.

Red + Green LED = Test OK

The GlassTrek has detected the signal and generated an 

alarm.

Green LED only = Test Failed

Perform another test by carefully striking the protected 

surface with a cushioned tool. If both LEDs still do not 

illuminate, increase the sensitivity of the GlassTrek detector, 

or re-position the GlassTrek detector, or the room may be too 

large to support the GlassTrek detector. 

Voltage 

Meter†

Used for trouble-shooting, the voltage meter indicates the 

GlassTrek’s input voltage.
Enter section 

[900]. 

The 3-digit number that appears on the 

screen represents input voltage x 10 (e.g. 

[133]

 = 13.3V).
