STEP 1 — MOUNTING
DESCRIPTION
The 5600 Glassbreak Sensors are designed to detect
breaking glass caused by forced entry into a protected
window or door. The ‘Tru-Dual’ transducer design provides
excellent false-alarm immunity in noisy environments.
The 5600 Sensor processes both acoustic and vibration
information to identify breaking windows. Frame mounting
the 5600 Sensor eliminates detection concerns with drapes
and blinds. The built-in reed switch provides protection
against forced opening of windows or doors, as well as
breaking glass.
Note:
This sensor may not consistently detect cracks,
bullets, or similar breaks. Glassbreak sensors should always
be backed up by interior protection such as a motion
detector.

The 5600 sensors are designed to mount either inside the
frame (see Figure 1a) or on the facing (see Figure 1b).
Refer to Figure 2 for recommended mounting locations and
coverage range. Mounting location should provide good
mechanical coupling from glass to sensor and an
unobstructed microphone view of the glass.
If structural
integrity of the frame is poor, temporarily mount sensor and
follow Step 3 for range testing.
Do not exceed the tested
range of the sensor.
Note:
For applications with more than one framed window
or French style doors and windows, use multiple 5600s or a
ShatterPro II.
Use provided screws to securely mount the sensor to the
frame. A loosely mounted sensor will not perform correctly.
The small screw must be used to permanently attach the
cover.
