Glass Break Detector

Product Introduction

The 5845GBW Glass Break Detector (product) is ideal for applications

where hardwired acoustic sensors are impractical, listens for actual

patterns of breaking glass using Pattern Recognition Technology™

across the full audio band. The factory set recognition patterns detect

breaking glass of framed perimeter windows in a building vs. a

drinking glass breaking within a room. This product features a 20-ft. (6

m) range from sensor to glass.

The product is suitable for use in quiet occupied areas on the perimeter

loop. The sensor’s low-profile housing conceals the wireless transmitter

and battery.

A simple hand clap feature lets the user confirm that the sensor is

operational, or a handheld tester can be activated at close range.

This wireless Glass Break Detector complies with the ANSI/UL 639

standard for Intrusion products. It is intended for residential indoor

dwelling unit applications and other areas approved by the authority

having jurisdiction (AHJ). It is not intended for use in industrial

applications.

This product operates in conjunction with your wireless Control Panel,

providing a local indication. Refer to the panel installation instructions

for revision verification details. Please contact Technical Support for any

questions regarding compatibility.

1. General Information

Congratulations on purchasing your Glass Break Detector. This product is

designed to be used with a Control Panel as an intrusion signaling

device.

Install the sensor on a perimeter loop armed whenever the door and

window contacts are armed. Avoid 24-hour loop applications where

the sensor is armed all day and all night. The false-alarm technology

will be pushed to its limit in a 24-hour loop.

The sensor’s false-alarm immunity is best in rooms with only moderate

noise. Some sounds can duplicate the points on the glass break

pattern the sensor detects. The sensor may not consistently detect

cracks in glass, or bullets which break through the glass. Glass break

sensors should always be complemented with interior protection.

2. Mounting Guideline

This product is a member of a reliable, high-quality product family

using the latest technology available. Review the information in this

section to ensure you get the most out of the product.

Choosing an Installation Location

The sensor must always be in direct line of sight of all windows to be

protected. The sensor cannot consistently detect glass breaking around

corners or in other rooms. There is no required front, back, up or down

orientation.

Wall mount…

The best wall-mount location is on the opposite wall, assuming the

glass to be protected is within the sensor’s range and line of sight. The

adjoining wall can also be used.

Ceiling mount…

Mount the sensor in a location that is in direct line of sight of the glass

to be protected. However, since sound travels directionally out from a

broken window, a position 8 ft. (2.4 m) into the room provides better

detection.

Use the following guidelines to determine the best mounting location:

o Mount the sensor at least 3.3 ft. (1 m) from the windows being

protected and at least 4 ft. (1.2 m) from noise sources such as

TVs, speakers, sinks, and doors.

o Mount the sensor in the direct line of sight of the glass to be

protected.

o Mount the sensor in a suitable environment: temperature

between 0 and 120°F (-18 and 50°C); and humidity between 10

and 90% non-condensing.

o Mount the sensor on a stable surface up to 25 ft. (7.6 m) from

the farthest point on the glass surface.

Recommended locations and Range

The sensor is omni-directional, providing 360° 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 3.3 ft. (1 m) from the

glass. The maximum range depends on the type of glass being

protected:

o Armor-coated glass - Mount sensor no more than 12 ft. (3.6 m)

from the glass.

o Plate, tempered, laminated, and wired glass - Mounted on

the ceiling or the opposite or adjoining wall, maximum range is

25 ft. (7.6 m).

Panasonic Note: Use of a different battery may have a detrimental effect on the product’s operation. Constant exposures to high or low humidity may reduce battery life. This product has three test methods: o Wake Up Test. A hand clap should wake up the glass break detector. o RF Communication Test. Tests the communication path with the control panel. o Glass Break Functional Test.
