(continued):
1. Set the FG-701 to TEST and MAN (manual). See
C
.
2. Position the FG-701 near the protected glass and point the
speaker directly at the glassbreak detector. Watch the green
LED on the detector.
3. Press the RED button and the FG-701 will generate a burst
of glassbreak
audio.
Refer to the detector’s installation instructions for details of
green LED function.
BATTERY ANNOUNCEMENT
When the battery is low, the simulator
audio sound will be
interrupted by the word "BATTERY." The battery must then be
replaced.
Use only 9V alkaline batteries.
Do not use carbon-zinc or
rechargeable Ni-Cd batteries because they don’t have
sufficient peak power capacity.
TECHNICAL NOTES
When a window is broken, many things affect the sound
produced, including type of glass, glass size and thickness,
type of mounting, the breaking object, and how much force is
used. The sound will also be modified by absorptive or
reflective surfaces in the room.
No simulator can account for all possible conditions, but the
sound produced by the FG-701 is carefully designed to
represent a worst-case break. The sound is a recording of a
small pane of tempered glass broken in a controlled
environment. The output level of the simulator is correlated
with the original sound to insure an equivalent response in
FlexGuard
®
detectors. In production, the acoustic output is
factory-calibrated.
Room characteristics greatly affect the range indicated by the
simulator. A room with hard surfaces will increase range,
because hard surfaces reflect the sound back into the room. A
room with absorbing surfaces (carpets, acoustic tiles) and
absorbing materials (curtains and soft furniture) will reduce
range.
Real glassbreak sound is affected in the same way as the
simulator sound because it has the same frequency content
and originates from the same location in the room. So the
audio range indicated by the FG-701 is a good indication of
glassbreak detection range.
A low frequency sound is also produced when a window is
broken. In FLEX mode, the low-frequency signal (
flex) is
generated by gently thumping the window. The
flex signal is
detected by the FG-701 which sends a burst of
audio. If
sufficient
flex can be generated by a safe, non-breaking thump
to the glass, there is good assurance that a real break will be
detected. Range indicated by the simulator should be
considered the safe detection range for an individual detector.
Because of component tolerances do not assume that a
substitute detector will work at the same range. If a detector is
changed, the replacement should also be tested with the FG-
701.
