FlexGuard® FG-1625R/FG-1625RT Glassbreak Detectector Installation Instructions
Mount the detector.
For location guidelines, refer to the Supplemental
Information on the back page.
Note:
If you plan to use the wall tamper, locate the
wall tamper screw position before the mounting
screws position. Refer to the Supplemental Informa-
tion for instructions on using the wall tamper.
•
Use a screwdriver to push down on the latch at the
side of the detector to remove the front cover.
Note:
Do not remove the PCB from the protective
enclosure.
•
For surface wiring, use the FG-SP2 spacer plate
provided.
•
Secure the detector with #6 (3.5 mm) or #8 (4.2
mm) screws (not provided).
Wire the detector.
•
Route the wire through the wire entry
hole in the PCB center. Cut and strip wire
ends 1/4 inch (6.0 mm).
•
Wire the detector using 18-22 AWG
(0.64 mm to
1.02 mm). Reverse polarity connections will
not damage the detector. For proper wiring
methods, refer to the National Electrical
Code NFPA 70.
•
After completing wiring, push excess
wire back into the wall and replace the front
cover.
Note:
You can secure the cover with a #4
(2.9 mm) screw if required. The hole is
located on the intermediate cover near the
latch.
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, both LEDs will flash.
Configure the detector.
The following tables show how to configure DIP
switch S4 to best suit the application. The
illustration shows you the default settings.

1
Verify range with the FG-701.
2
The timing of the alarm relay is not affected by the latched Alarm LED.
3
Reset the Alarm LED by removing and restoring power, or by toggling the detector in
and out of test mode.
4
LEDs can be enabled or disabled with the FG-701.
Test the detector.
Note:
Test the FG-1625R/RT at least once each
year.
Test the detector with the FG-701 Glassbreak
Simulator. The FG-700 can be used if set for
Tempered glass sound.
Activating Test Mode
1
Position the simulator within 15’ (4.6 m) of the
FG-1625R/RT detector.
2
Switch the FG-701 simulator to ACTIVATE
and MANual modes.
3
Point the front speaker of the simulator at the
detector and press the red start button.
The simulator buzzes, and the green LED on
the FG-1625R/RT flashes about 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 on the PCB. This
activates Test Mode.
Make sure to replace the front cover of the unit before testing.
Testing the FG-1625R/RT
1
Set the FG-701 switches to the TEST and FLEX positions.
2
Position the FG-701 near the farthest point of the glass
and point the speaker directly at the FG-1625R/ RT. If window
coverings are present, close them fully and hold the FG-701
behind them.
3
Press the red start button. The simulator “clicks” on and
starts an 8 second armed period.
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 the FG-1625R/RT properly receives both the simulator flex
and audio, the red alarm LED lights.
Note:
Some environmental factors may reduce the detector activation
range. If after pressing the red start button you do not see the green LED
flashing, 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
green LED on the detector flickers when the detector properly receives the
simulator audio. (See the FG-701 Operating Instructions for additional
information.) Keep in mind this is not a complete test.
Exiting Test Mode
After testing, exit Test Mode using the same procedure for activating Test
Mode. The FG-1625R/RT automatically exits the Test Mode 5 minutes after the
last event is detected.
REMOTE LED ENABLE/DISABLE MODE
The detector’s Remote LED Enable/Disable Mode allows you to enable or
disable the detector’s LEDs with the FG-701 Glassbreak Simulator.
To enable or disable the LEDs with the FG-701:
1.
Set LED switch, S4 position 4, to off.
2.
Enter Test Mode, and then exit Test Mode.
3.
Within two (2) seconds, enter Test Mode again; this changes LED
enable/disable status.
4.
Exit Test Mode again.
5.
Clap your hands to test the LEDs. If enabled, the green LED will flicker. If
disabled, the green LED will remain off.
