1. FG-1525 Glassbreak Sensor Training

2. Glassbreak Theory Basics
How does an acoustic glassbreak work?

3. Flex Signal Very low frequency sound
PANE OF
GLASS
Very low frequency sound
Results from glass vibrating upon impact
Similar to a drum head vibration

4. Audio Signal Mid- to High-frequency sound
PANE OF
GLASS
Mid- to High-frequency sound
Results from glass shattering

5. 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.)

6. 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

7. Installation Basics Selecting 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

8. Installation Basics Locations 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

9. Introducing the FG-1525 Glassbreak Detector
FlexCore Signal Processing
25ft maximum range
Adjustable sensitivity
No minimum range
