Honeywell FG-701 User Manual

English FG-701 Glassbreak Simulator

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: The FG-701 Simulator

produces extremely loud sounds and can be hazardous to hearing when used at close range.

Never operate the FG-701 when it is pointed toward someone’s head.

This glassbreak simulator is for testing the range and function of all FlexGuard

glassbreak detectors.

Most glassbreak models have the “Activate” test mode feature described below, including models:

FG10xx, FG15xx, FG16xx, FGW-15xx, 5853, FG8M, 5852H and others.

OPERATING THE SIMULATOR

1. Install the glassbreak detector as per the detector’s installation instructions.

2. Stand within 6' (2m) of the detector.

3. Set the FG-701 to ACTIVATE and MAN (manual). See

4. Aim the FG-701 speaker at the detector.

5. Press the RED button for the ACTIVATE sound.

The green LED will flash once per second to indicate the detector is in test mode.

If test mode does not start, try again from a different position.

close them fully and hold the FG-701 behind the window coverings for testing.

1. Set the FG-701 to TEST and FLEX. See

2. Position the FG-701 near the farthest point of the protected glass, and point the speaker directly at the glassbreak detector.

3. Press the RED button. The simulator will "click" and start an 8-second armed period.

4. Generate a

a cushioned tool. The FG-701 will respond by producing a

If both the

are received properly, the red alarm LED on the detector will light, and the detector will send an alarm. After the simulator is triggered by a second hold-off period during which the FG-701 will not trigger again. This prevents repeated triggering due to continued vibration of the glass. Successfully triggering the simulator with a generates a new 8-second armed period. If you do not generate a

flex

signal within 8 seconds, the simulator will automatically "click" off. Press the red button to re-arm the simulator. The FG-701 may also be turned off by selecting MAN (manual) mode.

If the glassbreak detector fails to signal an alarm when testing in the FLEX mode, switch the FG-701 to the MAN (manual) mode.

A low frequency sound is also produced when a window is broken. In FLEX mode, the low-frequency signal ( generated by gently thumping the window. The detected by the FG-701 which sends a burst of sufficient

Range indicated by the simulator should be considered the safe detection range for an individual detector. Because of component tolerances do not assume that a substitute detector will work at the same range. If a detector is changed, the replacement should also be tested with the FG-

BATTERY ANNOUNCEMENT

audio

When the battery is low, the simulator

sound will be interrupted by the word "BATTERY." The battery must then be replaced.

Use only 9V alkaline batteries. Do not use carbon-zinc or rechargeable Ni-Cd batteries because they don’t have sufficient peak power capacity.

TECHNICAL NOTES

When a window is broken, many things affect the sound produced, including type of glass, glass size and thickness, type of mounting, the breaking object, and how much force is used. The sound will also be modified by absorptive or reflective surfaces in the room.

No simulator can account for all possible conditions, but the sound produced by the FG-701 is carefully designed to represent a worst-case break. The sound is a recording of a small pane of tempered glass broken in a controlled environment. The output level of the simulator is correlated with the original sound to insure an equivalent response in FlexGuard

detectors. In production, the acoustic output is

factory-calibrated. Room characteristics greatly affect the range indicated by the

simulator. A room with hard surfaces will increase range, because hard surfaces reflect the sound back into the room. A room with absorbing surfaces (carpets, acoustic tiles) and absorbing materials (curtains and soft furniture) will reduce range.

Real glassbreak sound is affected in the same way as the simulator sound because it has the same frequency content and originates from the same location in the room. So the audio range indicated by the FG-701 is a good indication of glassbreak detection range.
