Easy Installation and Range Verification
• Mount directly on the glass
• Two wire, self powered, solid state
• Easy mounting with specially
formulated 3M™ adhesive tape
Applications
The 5150 is rated for all types of glass, without
adjustment. The sensor is rated for plate, wired,
tempered and laminated glass up to 1/4".

Maximum Coverage
Shock sensors are intrusion detection devices
designed to detect a glass break big enough to
reach, crawl, or walk through. Shock sensors aren’t
rated to detect cracks, bullet holes and other small
holes, removing windows, or entry via glass cutting
without breakage. All Glassbreak sensors should be

backed up by interior protection.
Laminated Glass will reduce the specified range.
Test carefully to ensure maximum detection. Armor
coated glass and plexiglass will reduce specified
range by 50%, from a 10' radius to a 5' radius.
This shock sensor is self powered and therefore will
not effect battery life for wireless transmitters.

Step 1 — Mounting
To maximize range, mount the 5150 Series shock
sensor approximately 1" out from any side of the
frame.
1"
1"
Sensors mount with industrial grade acrylic tape
specifically formulated to resist the effects of
sunlight and extreme temperature changes after
application.
For best adhesion:
• Glass must be clean and dry. With a clean
cloth, apply a 50/50 solution of isopropyl
alcohol and water to remove residue.
• The ideal mounting temperature is 70° to
100°F (21° to 38°C). Application at glass
temperatures below 50°F (10°C) is not
recommended because the adhesive may
become too firm to adhere readily. Once the
tape is applied, however, low temperatures
do not effect bonding.
• Bond strength depends on how much
surface contact develops. Press the sensor
firmly to the glass. Firm application pressure
develops better adhesion and thus improves
the bond.
Step 2 — Wiring
The 5150 is a two wire device. It draws no power
from the loop. The sensor generates its own power
by converting the shock energy of the break into
electricity using a piezo transducer.
All 5150 Series shock sensors are non-polarity
sensitive. The alarm output operates without respect
to polarity and wires directly into the closed loop.
When wiring multiple sensors in series, be aware
that resistance is additive. The value of the end-ofline resistor may have to be adjusted when a large
quantity of sensors are in series. Sentrol
recommends a maximum of 10 sensors in series.
The 5150 does not require a processor. Do not wire
the sensor into fast response loops—false alarms
will result.
Step 3 — Testing
The 5150 sensor is tested by rapping the glass with
the handle of a large screwdriver. Test at likely
points of attack — near door and window latches
and the lower points where it can be kicked in. This
is an accurate test of the sensor since the energy
output from a glass break is typically at least 50%
more that the energy output from the hardest rap
test. In Sentrol’s experience, a screwdriver handle
rap provides an excellent test of sensor operation
with little risk of damaging the glass.
Connect an ohmmeter across the sensor leads.
Resistance is typically 14 ohms (13–24 ohms is
acceptable and within specification). Resistance
should increase to one Meg ohm as the sensor is
tripped from the shock generated by the rap. Hold
there for 1 to 10 seconds.
To ensure proper operation and detection, test the
sensor at least once a year.
