How does an acoustic glassbreak work?

Glassbreak Theory Basics

Fle

uard

Flex Signal

• Very low frequency sound• Results from glass vibrating upon impact• Similar to a drum head vibration

FLEX SIGNAL

PANE OF GLASS

uard AUDIO SIGNAL

PANE OF GLASS

• Mid- to High-frequency sound

• Results from glass shattering

Installation Basics

• Never exceed max range (25ft)

• Mount on opposite wall or ceiling

• Install at least 6 ft from floor (to avoid blockage by furniture,etc.)

Fle

uard

Installation Basics

• Always mount the sensor in direct line of site to the glass…

• e.g….an imaginary string tied to the detector should reach all points of the glass without bending.

• Always use the Tester for every installation

Installation BasicsSelecting the Location

• Clear view of glass to be protected

• At least 6.5 feet above floor

• At least 3.5 feet from forced air ducts

• At least 3.5 feet from sirens or bells

• Between the window and any heavy protective window coverings

Installation BasicsLocations to Avoid Mounting

• A corner• On the same wall as the

protected glass• On free-standing pillars or posts• In rooms with noisy equipment

such as air compressors, bells, power equipment if the equipment will be operating while the sensor is armed
