6.3.2 Walk Testing

To maximize battery life, the LED elements do not activate
unless the unit is in the Walk Test mode.

Perform a Walk Test to determine the boundaries of the coverage
area. Walk Test mode can be started from the:

• Control Panel: Enter the appropriate command sequence at

the control panel to start the Walk Test mode (refer to the
control panel’s documentation).

• Detector: Slide open and then close the detector cover to start

a 90-sec Walk Test mode. Walk Test mode is now active.

Motion detected within the detector’s coverage area activates the
red LED, sends a signal to the control panel, and restarts a 90-sec
timer. If there is no motion for 90 sec, the red LED flashes for the
last 10 sec to indicate Walk Test mode is ending. Motion detected
restarts the 90-second timer.

1. Start at the pattern’s expected boundary and walk across the

pattern moving closer to the detector at each pass while
observing the LED (Figure 12). Refer to Table 9 on page 30
for LED indications.

Figure 12: Walk Test

During Walk Test mode for the wLSN Dual Motion
Detector, a motion alarm signal is sent to the control panel
only when the red LED flashes (

Table 9

). It is normal to
see a brief green or yellow flash before a red alarm
indication when walk testing the Dual Motion Detector.

6.7.1 Sensitivity Settings

All sensitivity settings are programmed at the control panel (refer
to your control panel’s documentation for more information). The
sensor element has two types of detection:

• Gross Attack

• Minor Attack

Gross Attack is always enabled. The Minor Attack setting is very
sensitive and can be disabled.

Gross Attack Sensitivity

The Gross Attack setting measures vibration activity for a specified
length of time. There are four settings:

• Low (default)

• Low to Medium

• Medium to high

• High

The settings determine the length of time vibration activity is
measured.

Minor Attack

Programming at the control panel determines how many repetitive
taps (single vibrations) detected by the sensor indicate a minor
attack.

By default, Minor Attack is disabled. If enabled, there are two
settings:

• Four Taps

• Eight Taps

When a tap occurs, a 90-sec timer starts. If the tap count exceeds
the four or eight count threshold within 90 sec, an alarm is
transmitted.

A single tap such as a branch in the wind lightly brushing a
window can start the minor attack timer and tap count. To
avoid false alarms, do not use the Minor Attack setting
where there is potential for stray vibrations.

6.12.1 Installation Considerations

Glass break detectors are intended only as a component
of a perimeter protection system. You should always use a
motion detector in conjunction with a glass break detector.

For the best detector performance, select a mounting location that
is:

• within 7.6 m (25 ft) of the protected glass.

• within clear view of the protected glass.

• at least 2 m (6.5 ft) from the floor.

• at least 1 m (3 ft) from forced-air ducts.

• at least 1 m (3 ft) from sirens or bells greater than 5 cm (2 in.)

in diameter.

• on a window frame if any heavy window covering is present.

Avoid mounting the detector:

• in a corner.

• on the same wall as the protected glass.

• on free-standing posts or pillars.

• in rooms with noisy equipment such as air compressors, bells,

and power tools.

Entering Test Mode

Place the detector in Test Mode. In Test Mode, the detector’s LED
disable switch (Item 8, Figure 26 on page 53) is overridden. You
can enter the Test Mode locally or remotely.

To enter the Test Mode locally:

1. Carefully open the service door of the detector.

2. Insert a screwdriver into the slot next to the sensitivity

switches that contains the test pads (Item 1, Figure 27 on
page 55).

3. Momentarily short both test pads together with the tip of the

screwdriver, or other metallic conductive object.
The Event LED (green) (Item 6, Figure 26 on page 53) flashes
once per sec. If the green LED does not flash, repeat Steps 2
and 3.

The 13-332 Sound Sensor Tester produces extremely
loud sounds and can be hazardous to hearing when used
at close range. Do not point the 13-332 towards
someone’s head.

To enter the Test Mode remotely:

1. Stand within 3 m (10 ft) of the detector.

2. Move the switches on top of the 13-332 Tester to ACTIVATE

and to MAN modes (Items 1 and 3, Figure 28 on page 56).

3. Point the front of the tester towards the detector and press

the red Start button on top (Item 2, Figure 28 on page 56).

The tester buzzes and the green LED on the detector flashes once
per sec. If the green LED does not flash, move closer to the
detector and repeat the procedure.

Testing the Detector (Flex and Audio Signals)

1. Set the 13-332 Tester switches to the TEST and FLEX

positions (Items 1 and 3, Figure 28 on page 56).

2. Press the red Start button (Item 2, Figure 28 on page 56).

The tester activates and starts an eight-sec armed period.

3. If window coverings are present, close them fully.

4. Hold the 13-332 Tester near the point on the glass farthest

from the detector. If window coverings are present, hold the
tester between the glass and window coverings.

5. Carefully strike the glass with a cushioned tool. The 13-332

Tester responds by producing a burst of glass break audio.

If the detector receives both the flex and audio signals properly,
its red Alarm LED lights for 3 sec.

If the red LED does not light, return to Section 3.0 RFSS Site
Evaluation on page 7 to reposition the detector.

Exiting Test Mode

To exit the Test Mode locally:

1. Carefully open the service door of the detector.

2. Insert a screwdriver into the slot next to the sensitivity

switches that contains the test pads (Item 1, Figure 27 on
page 55).

3. Momentarily short both test pads together with the tip of the

screwdriver, or other metallic conductive object.

When the detector exits Test Mode, the green Event LED
(Item 6, Figure 26 on page 53) stops flashing. If the Event LED
continues to flash, repeat Steps 2 and 3.

To exit the Test Mode remotely:

1. Stand within 3 m (10 ft) of the detector.

2. Move the switches on top of the 13-332 Tester to ACTIVATE

and to MAN modes (Items 1 and 3, Figure 28 on page 56).

3. Point the front of the tester towards the detector and press

the red Start button on top (Item 2, Figure 28 on page 56).
The tester buzzes.

6.12.4 Low Battery Indication

The detector indicates a low battery condition in two ways:

• If the LEDs are enabled, both flash simultaneously every sec.

• A low battery status indication is sent to the control panel.

The LED flashing and a low battery indication at the control panel
are independent of each other and do not necessarily occur at the
same time. Receiving either condition indicates a low battery.

6.12.5 Wall Tamper Tab

Entering RFSS Mode

To enter RFSS Mode if the wall tamper tab is removed:

1. Remove and reinsert the batteries.

2. Press and hold the wall tamper switch. Refer to Figure 29.

3. Quickly press and release the cover tamper switch four times

within 10 sec of reinserting the batteries. Refer to Figure 29.
