Detectors
Acoustic Glass Break Detector
DESCRIPTION
AD 700 is an acoustic glass break detector giving an alarm
when glass is smashed at intruder attempts through windows,
doors and glazed walls.
The detector is based on advanced microcontroller
technology and programmed to take a lot of relevant acoustic
factors into account: the Digital Room Compensation (DRC).
This makes the detector able to distinguish between a true
glass break and other irrelevant sounds.
The detector is for indoor use.
The coverage distance is 1–9 m. The coverage angle is 165º,
which means that one detector can protect several windows
in the same room. The detector can be mounted in the ceiling
or on a wall with a free “line of sight” to the window being
protected.
AD 700 is certified according to EN 50131-2-7-1:2012, secu-
rity grade 2.
Coverage area in the acoustic room Zone 1-3
CONNECTION TO A 24-HOUR LOOP
The detector is constructed for continuous supervision and is
extra resistant to different acoustic disturbances. It will func-
tion well in most environments. However in rooms with very
high rates of disturbances as in industrial workshops and
gyms, it is recommended to test the detector for 3-4 weeks
before deciding to use it continuously. In rare cases a combi-
nation of random sounds can trigger an alarm.
SPECIAL TOOLS
In most rooms (e.g. offices) no special tools are required dur-
ing the installation. In rooms with complicated acoustics it is
recommended to use the ADT 700 tester. ADT 700 can also be
used for function test and annual service.
MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
Detector should be installed on a ceiling or on a wall
opposite to the glass to be protected
Clear “line-of- sight” between the “microphone” of the
detector and the glass is required
Distance between the glass and the detector should be 1-
9 m
Detector should be installed min. 50 cm from a corner
Detector should be installed min. 1 m over the floor
Detector should be installed min. 30 cm from the ceiling
(at wall mounting)
Detector should be installed on a flat surface, which is free
from objects in a radius of 50 cm from the detector
Detector should not be installed close to air vents or big
sound reflecting obstacles
Never mount the detector in the corners

INSTALLATION
1.
Choose the best mounting position on the wall or ceiling.
2.
Loosen the cover screw and remove the cover
3.
Use the bottom part as a template and mark the place of
the holes of with a pen
4.
Use a 2.5 mm drill for the self-tapping screws provided. If
necessary, use wall anchors
5.
If necessary, cut out the marked “knockout hole” on the
back of the base with a pair of tongs
6.
Pull the wiring cable through the “knockout hole” in the
bottom plate
7.
Connect the wires to the screw terminals
The terminals can be connected to the sabotage loop or the
alarm loop (at your own choice).
