5812-RND Acoustic Glassbreak Detector
Selecting the Best Location for
Multiple Window Coverage
The detector has a 360degree coverage pattern that can be
used to cover several windows in a single room as follows:
•
Draw an imaginary line from the center of each window
to be covered in towards the center of the room.
•
Mount the detector as close to where the lines intersect
as possible. See Figure 3.
•
Do not mount the detector at more than a 60 degree
angle from the center of any window to be protected.
See Figure 3.
