PGP922 Glass Break Detector Installation Guide Installation guidelines The reference to PGP922 throughout this manual includes the model PGP9922. CAUTION: Only qualified personnel may install this equipment. Place this device in nonhazardous indoor locations only. Important: Check the device and the entire alarm system weekly to ensure optimal performance.
Optimizing detection and avoiding false alarms PGP922 detects shattering glass. Like all glass-break sensors, the detector might not consistently detect cracks in glass, or bullets that break through or break out the glass. Glass-break sensors should always be backed up by interior protection. For best detection, avoid installing in: • Rooms with lined, insulating, or sound-deadening drapes. • Rooms with closed wooden window shutters inside.
Sound travel considerations The acoustic sensor of the PGP922 is omni-directional, providing full coverage. Coverage is measured from the sensor to the point on the glass farthest from the sensor. The sensor can be mounted as close as 1.5 m (5 ft) from the glass. Because the sound of breaking glass travels directionally out from the broken window, the best location for mounting the sensor is on the opposite wall if the glass being protected is within the sensor's range and line of sight.
Configuring the device parameters 1. Enter the DEVICE SETTINGS menu and select the required configuration as described in the following table: Table 1: Configuration options Option Action Alarm LED Define whether the alarm LED indication will be activated. Optional settings: LED ON (default) and LED OFF. Self Test Define whether microphone Self-Test will be activated. Optional settings: Enable (default) or Disable.
Configuring the temperature alerts You can configure the temperature alerts with the settings described in the following table. Table 2: Temperature alert configuration options Option Action Threshold Displays the last saved threshold value and provides the installer with the ability to change the value using the back or next button. Disable/Enable Define whether the panel reports an alert or not.
Figure 3: Typical range coverage Note: Note: For UL/ULC listed products maximum verified range is 6m (20ft) using glass size 30 x 60cm. When mounted on opposite walls, on adjoining walls or on the ceiling, the range is 7.6 m (25 ft) for plate, tempered, laminated, wired, coated, and sealed insulating glass. The coverage range also depends on the angle between the detector and the glass. For a higher angle, the maximum range is reduced. See the following table and figure for details.
Mounting the device using screws 1. 2. To open the device cover, press in the snap and separate the cover from the base. Screw the device base to the wall. Ensure the device is correctly orientated using the arrow as a guide. Note: Make sure to fasten the break-away segment to the wall. If the device is forcibly removed from the wall, this segment will break away from the base, causing the tamper switch to open. Note: Back tamper protection is required for UL commercial burglary installations.
Replacing the battery Before you begin: CAUTION: Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer's instructions and according to local rules and regulations. 1. 2. 3. Remove the device cover. Remove the battery. Insert the battery into the battery clips while observing battery polarity. Figure 7: Battery removal and insertion 4. 5. Press down on the battery until it fits into place. Close the cover and fasten the cover screw.
Note: It is recommended to have a strong signal strength and you must verify the signal strength using the control panel's diagnostic test. For detailed Diagnostics Test instructions, refer to the control panel installer guide. Note: If the microphone self-test option is enabled, the microphone performs a test periodically.
4. Repeat the test if necessary. Important: Room acoustics can artificially extend the range of a glass-break sensor. The specified range of the PGP922 has been established for worst-case conditions. While the sensor is likely to function at an additional range, it may miss a minimum output break, or room acoustics may be changed at some future time, restoring sensor coverage back to the normal range of 6 m (20 ft). Do not exceed the rated range of the sensor, regardless of what the tester shows.
