ShatterPro® Glass Break Sensor ITI Part Numbers 60-873-95 Document Number 466-1841 Rev A January 2001 Product Summary Installation Instructions Installation Guidelines The Sentrol/ITI ShatterPro® omnidirectional glassbreak sensor provides 360 degree coverage. It can be mounted on the ceiling, or on the opposite wall, or on adjoining walls. It has a range of up to 20 feet for glass panes 1’ x 2’ (0.3m x 0.6 m) or larger. 4.24" 10.8 cm 1.70" 4.3 cm 3.13" 8.0 cm Figure 1. The ShatterPro Glass Break Sensor The maximum detection range is 20’ (6 m) for plate, tempered, laminated and wired glass. For armor-coated glass, the maximum detection range is 12’ (3.65 m). Coverage is measured from the sensor to the point on the glass farthest from the sensor (see D and D’ in Figure 2). See “Specifications” for recommended glass thickness. Figure 2. Optimum performance zone D D D' Maximum distance (D) from 20' the ShatterPro to the glass must not exceed 20' D is distance from glass The optimum performance zone is distance D in either direction on the glass. Wireless ShatterPro Note ShatterPro may not consistently detect cracks in glass, or bullets that break through the glass. Glassbreak sensors should always be backed up by interior protection. ❑ For best detection, avoid installing in rooms with lined, insulating, or sound deadening drapes or rooms with closed wooden window shutters inside. ❑ Don’t use near an air compressor. A blast of compressed air may cause a false alarm. ❑ Avoid stairwells, glass booths, and all rooms smaller that 10’ x 10’ (3 m x 3 m). ❑ The Pattern Recognition Technology™ of the ShatterPro ignores most false alarm sounds. Some sounds can duplicate the glass break pattern the ShatterPro detects, however, so the ShatterPro works best in rooms with only moderate noise. Avoid rooms where white noise, such as a fan, is present. Avoid rooms with noisy areas or multiple noise sources such as small kitchens or bathrooms, garages, etc. Note For glass break protection in these applications (where Shatterpro is not appropriate), use shock sensors on the windows or window frames. ❑ Avoid adding (learning) the sensor into 24-hour sensor groups, where the sensor will be armed even when the room is in use. Like a motion detector, a glass break sensor may be tripped when occupants are in the protected area. Adding the ShatterPro to a perimeter sensor group, which is armed only when the perimeter doors and windows are armed, will help prevent false alarms. ❑ Do not install in humid rooms. The ShatterPro is not hermetically sealed. Excess moisture on the circuit board can eventually cause an electrical short and possibly a false alarm. ❑ The sensor can be mounted as close as 3.3’ (1 m) from the glass.
