Select Mounting Location
For the best detector performance, select a mounting
location that is:
• within 7.6 m (25 feet) of the protected glass;
• within clear view of the protected glass;
• at least 2 m (6.5 feet) from the floor;
• at least 1 m (3.3 feet) from forced air ducts;
• at least 1 m (3.3 feet) from sirens or bells greater
than 5 cm (2 inches) in diameter.
• between the protected glass and any heavy
window coverings that may be present.
Alternatively, when heavy window coverings are
present, the detector can be mounted on the frame of
the window.
Avoid mounting the detector on the same wall as the
protected glass, on free-standing posts or pillars, or in
rooms with noisy equipment (air compressors, bells,
power tools, etc.), if this equipment is operated when
the detector is armed.
Enroll Detector
Refer to text and control panel's installation
instructions.
When programming the transmitter, specify:
• Input Type = 3 (Supervised RF)
• Loop Number = 1
Mount Detector
• Use mounting holes as a template to mark
mounting locations on ceiling or wall.
• If using the optional back tamper, remove the
battery, then mark the wall tamper location
through its mounting hole.
• Mount detector using appropriate hardware.
NOTE: A screw capture feature designed to
make ceiling mounting easier will cause some
resistance when inserting the screw into the
plastic.
• Close detector cover when finished.
*The screw retention feature simplifies installation: A
rib in the screw cavity lightly holds the screw in place
when installing the detector.

1. General Information
The 5853 Wireless Glassbreak detector with
Transmitter senses the sound of breaking plate,
tempered, laminated, wired, coated and sealed
insulating glass. The self-contained detector includes a
transmitter that can send alarms, tamper signals, and
low battery messages to the control panel. The sensor
is compatible with 5800-series wireless hardware*, and
is designed for continuous operation using one 3V
lithium battery (CR-123A or equivalent; included).
Prior to installation, you must:
• Connect its battery by removing the tab,
• Adjust the detector’s sensitivity, and
• “Enroll” the detector’s serial number.
Refer to the following sections to install the 5853.
This detector is both UL and ULC listed.
*
Compatible control units for use in Canada require the use of
listed RF receivers that have been subjected to compatibility
analyses by Underwriters’ Laboratories of Canada. Refer to the
Installation Instructions for the control unit before installing
burglar alarm components.
2. Connecting Battery/Initial Power Up
To connect the battery, remove the tab from the end of
the battery holder. The detector will start its power up
sequence, in which both the LED indicators will
illuminate for one second. (The LED indicators are
described later in these instructions.)
3. Adjusting Detector Sensitivity (Range)
The 5853 has four sensitivity settings, which are set
using the SENS1 and SENS2 DIP switches. The
settings are: 1) maximum; 2) medium; 3) low; and 4)
lowest. By default, sensitivity is set to MAXIMUM.
To change the detector’s sensitivity, use a small
screwdriver to adjust the SENS1 and SENS2 switches,
as shown in the table below:
RANGE
MAX 7.6m (25 ft)
MEDIUM 4.6m (15 ft)
LOW 3m (10 ft)
LOWEST 1.5m (5 ft)
4. Enrolling Detector Into 5800-Series Receiver
Before the control panel will recognize the 5853, you
must program the device's serial number into the
control panel. This process, ("enrolling") is described in
detail in the control panel's installation instructions.
When programming the transmitter, specify:
• Input Type = 3 (Supervised RF)
• Loop Number = 1
You can transmit the device’s serial number
automatically or enter it manually. To transmit the
number automatically, momentarily activate the front
tamper switch. To enter the serial number manually,
refer to the control panel’s instructions to enroll the serial
ID number which appears on the product.
5. Selecting Installation Location
The 5853 can be mounted on the ceiling or the wall.
Choose a mounting location that is at least 2.1m (7
feet) from floor and no more than 7.6m (25 feet) from
the farthest protected glass. Be sure the detector has
an unobstructed line-of-sight to the protected glass!
Before mounting the detector permanently, test it to
ensure that it functions satisfactorily in the chosen
mounting location. Verify that the detector can detect
glassbreak sounds, following the directions in the
“Testing the Detector” section. Ensure that the 5853 is
within range of the receiver, following the instructions
for the signal-strength test found in the control panel’s
installation instructions. (To send the signal required by
the test, activate the detector's front tamper switch.) If
the detector fails, relocate it and repeat both tests.
6. Mounting the Detector
NOTE: If using wall tamper and installing on dry wall
(sheet rock), position the detector so that the wall
tamper is over a wall stud or ceiling joist, or use a
drywall anchor so the tamper screw will not pull out.
NOTE: If the device is ceiling mounted, the end with
the hole (Microphone end) should face the protected
glass.

To mount the detector:
1. Using the 5853 mounting holes as a template,
mark mounting locations on the ceiling or wall.
2. If using the optional wall tamper, remove
the battery, then mark the wall tamper location
through its mounting hole. The tamper screw
must be securely mounted. See details on
page 1.
3. If required by the mounting location, install
wall anchors for the mounting screws.
4. Secure the 5853 to the wall or ceiling, oriented
so the microphone has the best line-of-sight to
the protected glass.
5. Reinstall the battery if previously removed.
6. Close and secure the detector front cover.
7. Testing the Detector
The detector should be tested at least once each year.
Test the detector with the FlexGuard FG-701 Glassbreak
Simulator. Other simulators will not give accurate
indication of range.
To enter the Test Mode with the FG-701:
1. Stand within 4.6 m (15 feet) of the detector.
2. Switch the FG-701 to ACTIVATE and
MANUAL modes.
3. Point the front [speaker] of the glassbreak
simulator towards the detector and press the
red START button. The simulator buzzes a
short activation code.
When the detector enters Test Mode, the green LED on
the detector flashes about once per second. If the
green LED does not flash, move closer to the detector
and repeat the procedure.
To enter Test Mode manually:
1. Open the front cover.
2. Use a screwdriver to short the Test Mode
pads on the PC board (see diagram on next
page).
3. Close the front cover.
The detector’s green LED blinks approximately once per
second to indicate that it has entered the test mode.
Testing the Detector (flex and audio signals):
To test the 5853, do the following:
1. Place the detector in Test Mode.
2. Set the FG-701 switches to the TEST and
FLEX positions.
3. Position the FG-701 near the farthest point of
the protected glass, and point the speaker
directly at the detector. If window coverings
are present, close them fully and hold the
FG-701 between the coverings and the
protected glass.
4. Press the red START button. The simulator
clicks on and starts an eight-second armed
period.
5. Generate a flex signal by carefully striking the
glass with a cushioned tool. The FG-701
responds with a burst of glassbreak audio.
If the detector receives both the flex and audio signals
properly, its red Alarm LED lights for 5 seconds. (Red
Alarm LED does not latch.)
Testing the Detector (audio signals only):
The FG-701 can also be used to test the detector’s
ability to receive audio signals only. See the FG-701
Operating Instructions for additional information. When
it receives the audio signal, the detector flickers its
green Event LED.
Exiting Test Mode:
When you have finished testing, exit Test Mode by
following the same procedure used to enter Test Mode.
The detector automatically exits Test Mode five minutes
after the last event is detected.
8. LED Indicators
The detector is equipped with two LEDs: a green Event
LED and a red Alarm LED. When the LEDs are
enabled during testing, they light in a variety of patterns
to convey the detector’s operational status. The
following table summarizes the LED messages.
(Please note that the LEDs are only enabled during
Test Mode, and are inactive during normal operation.)

The front cover can be secured after installation. To do
so, remove the cover breakout flash (illustration on next
page) and secure the front cover with a 6 mm (¼-in.), 2.9
mm (#4) screw (supplied).
10. Maintaining Proper Operation
To maintain the 5853 Glassbreak Detector in proper
working order, please observe the following:
Replace the battery when the system indicates a low
battery condition (refer to the control panel’s operating
instructions.) Be sure to replace the battery with the
proper type and voltage. To ensure proper power down
sequence, wait a minimum of 20 seconds before
installing the new battery.
The installer should inform the end user that fans, air
conditioners, blowers, loudspeakers, or other sources of
vibration and sound should not be introduced into the
protected area after installation of glassbreak detectors.
If unavoidable, the end user must contact the alarm
service company to re-adjust/re-test the equipment as
needed. Additionally, this device should not be relocated
without the advice or assistance of the alarm service
company.
